ELECTION INFORMATION:
For the 10 Propositions: In the Printed version of the LINK Letter, the graphic error of a double box after each of the 10 propositions is in no way an encouragement of a NO selection.
The graphic distortion has been removed on the online versions found elsewhere on this website.
Please accept our sincere apology for any confusion.

Host Terry Lowry interviews influential and knowledgeable guests on relevant topics for today.
LISTENING AND COMMUNICATION ARE KEY
Discussed by Dr. Daniel Huerta
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
Valentine’s Day is coming up and many people are thinking about relationships. None matter more than family and, as parents, the way we relate to our children is about the most important thing we ever do.
Today, Dr. Danny Huerta reminds us that the way we interact with and behave around our children (no matter their age) is important year-round – not just during “love month”. And it’s not just our children who need attention and care – EVERYONE does. Dr. Huerta is the Vice President of Parenting at
Focus on the Family.

here for more from Dr. Danny Huerta on this and other topics.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
In our noise-filled, busy lives, can mistakes be made simply communicating with the wrong tone or ignoring communicating at all?
How can we be present in the lives of those we love? Dr. Huerta has several suggestions, including writing a note with words of blessings.
Change will not come overnight, but how can we begin to be better listeners and better communicators?
Is it time we all refocus our priorities? Dr. Huerta reminds us that God loves us so very much and that realization can make all the difference in the world.

MARRIAGE: IT SURE AIN’T EASY
Discussed by Bill Arbuckle
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
No marriage is without challenges. It is how we face those challenges that make the difference.
Today, new guest Bill Arbuckle offers some great advice and encouragement to couples (and even singles!). Bill is the Marriage Special Projects Manager at
Focus on the Family.

Focus on the Family.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Does life present speed bumps, often without warning?
Does avoidance ever solve any problem?
How important is forgiveness?
Should we all learn to just let some things go – to pick our battles?
Should we just listen sometimes, without giving advice or making a single comment?
Bill Arbuckle says this in closing: “God cares more about you and your marriage than you could ever imagine. When you ask Him for help, God’s got this.”

FLESH AND SPIRIT
Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)
Day 5
FUN FACTS: At one time, the word “awful” meant “full of awe” and “literally” meant “actually”. Even the difference between the English language and the British-English language is astounding!
This week, Mark Lanier discusses the importance of knowing the context behind word usage in the Bible, using Romans 8:1-8 as one example.
To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click
here.
If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email
wantmore@biblical-literacy.org
QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:
Where are you looking for guidance: the flesh or the Spirit?
BOTTOM LINE: Why does it matter that we know the different meanings of words in the Bible? Mark shares a sweet picture of his daughter, Rebecca, and his granddaughter, Arya Jane at the 66-minute mark.
Homework: Look up author NT Wright’s definition for “chiasm” as found in Romans 8:5-8.
POINTS FOR HOME:
Don’t ask if it’s physical or spiritual. Ask if you’re relying on yourself or God. (Colossians 3:17)
Check your mindset. Remember: Garbage in. Garbage out. (Romans 8:5)
Stop serving God in “flesh-mode” in your own power. (Romans 8:7-8)
PRAY: “Spirit, empower me to do what I cannot do in my own strength.”

Father, you are a God who cares. Thank you. Hear our pleas for healing, forgiveness, and provision.
Be with our kids and grandkids. Strengthen those walking in the Way.
Remind us to always be looking for that wayward loved one to come home to you.
We lift up the lost to you, Father. May today be the day they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Go with us, Father. Be at the center of all we do.
