Looking at Myself Before Loving Someone Else
By Mark Roth on December 10, 2007 at 10:30 am
The grim wreckage of failed marriages is all too common in today’s culture. Marriages fail because people fail. Marriages often fail because people have not been prepared for either courtship or marriage.
The foundation of an enduring marriage is Christian character. It is not enough to seriously want the “right one.” First, one must be the right kind of person.
Looking at Myself before Loving Someone Else was written to help youth prepare for courtship, to challenge them to develop personal godly character before courtship, before seeking a life companion.
This workbook for youth and parents will help prepare young people for courtship and lifelong, joyful marriages that glorify God.

Prayer of the Children
By Mark Roth on December 7, 2007 at 2:37 pm
I like this song. Really like it, in fact.
As a father, it makes my heart ache.
But I still like it, especially how Sharon Singers sing it. (If you click that link, you can then choose to hear them sing it.)
Anyway, over at Wikipedia I learned . . .
| The words and music were written by Kurt Bestor and it was arranged by Andrea S. Klouse for a four-part men’s choir.
Bestor served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Serbia during the 1970s. This song was written years later when the Yugoslav wars broke out in the early 1990s as a tribute to the country’s children. Meridian Magazine described it this way: Later when war broke out, and Yugoslavia splintered into warring factions with Serbs, Croatians and Bosnians hating and butchering each other, Kurt’s heart was aching. What came to him–haunted him–were the faces of the children he had known. “Those children didn’t hate anybody,” he said. “They didn’t care about who owned the land, or who had the power or the money. These are adult neuroses. They just wanted to have a mom and dad and a place to play.” |
I also used the photo above in this piece I wrote on March 30, 1999: Kosovo and Serbia: A Case Study Regarding Christians in the Military.

Journey into God’s Will
By Mark Roth on December 3, 2007 at 9:02 am
The Christian life isn’t handed to us like a vacation tour package complete with itinerary, maps, glossy photos, and descriptions of points of interest. Rather, it is more like Ruth’s journey to Israel from Moab; by faith she claimed Naomi’s God as her own and followed Him into an unfamiliar land and an unknown future. What Ruth did know was that God is real. As she followed Him, she learned that He is also a faithful and tender Guide.
Learning to know and follow God is a journey. It has a starting and an ending place. It winds through confusing choices, humiliating moments, trials and temptations, and the peace of submission. God is the Guide. And all the while we follow Him, He reveals Himself and His path, which leads eventually to His glorious presence.
This book was born out of one young woman’s desire to know God more intimately and shares many personal glimpses of her own journey toward the center of God’s will. Written for women in their mid-teens and early twenties, these practical devotionals offer inspiration, challenge, and encouragement.
