Seven mistakes I have made in my ministry

By Thom Rainer, President LifeWay Christian Resources

Thom RainerMy wife and I were in a conversation recently about our years together. We will celebrate 33 years of marriage this year, and we dated for almost six years.

The simple math was a surprise. We have been dating or married for nearly four decades!

It was a good conversation. But I had my moments of regret: times that I was too busy for my family, my tendency to want to win an argument with my wife rather than resolve the problem, and failure to slow down and enjoy life.
