Church Saints

She was relentlessly teased in high school. Then the worst happened, and left serious scars behind. She's not sure she can ever get past them, but has to try. She can't stay lonely forever. No one wants to grow old as the crazy cat lady, after all. He had a rough childhood, and made some really bad decisions back then. Decisions he really regrets now. But when the biggest regret of all walks back into his life, can he find a way to fix it?

She just wants to stop the endless string of setups. Why can't her mom get it into her head that she's not interested in these guys she keeps inviting to dinner? And on Christmas Day! What is she thinking? Maybe her best friend is right, she should let a professional do the setting up instead. Then maybe her mother will stop. He thought his sister and her best friend were crazy, but look at them. They're so incredibly happy, still. Maybe this matchmaker does know what she's doing. It would be so easy to have her bring him his perfect match. Dare he try it?

She's been hurt, lost her first love. Will she ever be able to find love again? Will Willow be able to help her find a second love? He's been single a long time, waiting for the right woman to come along. Will he be able to be enough for Kari? Will she be able to love him like she loved before? And when tragedy strikes, will it push them together, or scare him off?

He has no family left, they all died. Then he goes to his best friend's wedding. His best friend's new bride has twin sisters, and he hurt them. He made it right, he fixed his mistake. But now he can't get them out of his head. He made a promise, he has to leave them alone unless it's permanent. How can he know which is meant for him? Is one of them his future wife? How do you know if you can't date them?

She did it, she's made all her career goals. Now it's time to find a husband, finally. The matchmaker worked for her bestie, it'll work for her, too. Right? He's so tired of dating, he could just scream. how many girlfriends will it take to finally find the one that'll stick? There's got to be a better way. Maybe a matchmaker will do the trick, it's worth a try at least. But when things get scary, will he stick it out or run scared?

She's got to get away from here, far away. She loves her daddy, but just can't handle her father's views on women a minute longer. She's following her sister's example and calling the matchmaker. Hopefully her match will live far away from here. He's searched the islands for a wife, and none of them feel right. He's tired of looking, and turns to a matchmaker. Hopefully she'll find him the perfect match to create an ohana with. Ohana is everything, and he needs the perfect bride to help him start his.

She so sick of men and their dating games, ugg! She wants a man that's ready for marriage, and won't date other women behind her back. Maybe if they're under contract, they'll stay true to her. He's so lonely, and dating around just isn't working at all. his friends have been pestering him for years to let Willow set him up, maybe it's time to finally let her. He's ready for a wife and family of his own. Family, a foreign concept, but a very appealing one too.

They fight like cats and dogs, when they aren't totally avoiding each other. She's waiting for her perfect match, and he's not eligible since he's not one of Willow's clients. But Willow's on the way, he can change that status. But is it too late? She hates him at this point. How could this ever work, even if Willow did agree that they were a match? Could she ever forgive him?

She's been hurt in the worst possible way by the one person that was supposed to love her forever. How do you get over that? How do you trust anyone again? Her mom didn't get it, but if she'll leave her alone if she tries one more time it would be worth the trouble, wouldn't it? He's been looking for years, and just can't find the one. He thought his sister was crazy getting matched, and was so relieved when she gets a lucky break and it works out. But then his brother does it, and it works for him, too. Maybe there was something to this matchmaker thing...

“Flee from idolatry.”—1 COR. x. 14. THE text which heads this page may seem at first sight to be hardly needed in England. In an age of education and intelligence like this, we might almost fancy it is waste of time to tell an Eng-lishman to “flee from idolatry.” I am bold to say that this is a great mistake. I believe that we have come to a time when the sub-ject of idolatry demands a thorough and searching investigation. I believe that idolatry is near us, and about us, and in the midst of us, to a very fearful extent. The Second Command¬ment, in one word, is in peril. “The ...

“Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?” IN nothing does the Church of Christ so plainly vindicate her true character and mission, in nothing does she affirm so clearly that she is a divine institution, and not a merely human, as in bold assaults upon the kingdom of Satan; challenging the adversary on his own ground — not timidly content if only she can shield and shelter from his malice and his wiles those who have always continued with her, but winning back from his dominion those whom for a while she has lost, and he had won; daring the strong man in his own stronghold, and, ...
