Live for the glory of God
Do you have trouble living this Christian life like you think you should? Do you go to bed at night and lay there disappointed in yourself and frustrated because you didn’t live up to all the things a Christian is supposed to? Maybe you’re emotionally and spiritually exhausted from just trying so hard to do […]
Soon it will be Valentine’s Day. The month of love. And we’ll see Valentine’s Day cards with excerpts of 1 Corinthians 13 – the chapter of love. But is this what Paul was talking about? Romantic love? Actually, Paul was writing to the church in Corinth and the Greek word he used for love was agapeo. […]
My husband will repair the car before it totally breaks down and calls it ‘preventive maintenance.’ Too often we neglect the maintenance in our marriage and allow it to break down for lack of repair. What if we did a little preventive maintenance in marriage that will keep it greased and running smoothly? Some couples […]
While the vast majority of Americans believe Jesus really lived; for many, their perception of Him is quite skewed. In a research article by Barna in 2017, we see that just over 50% of Americans believe He will come again, while just under 40% do not acknowledge His deity. What’s more, we continue to see […]
I used to hate Proverbs 31. Yea, I’ll admit it. The Proverbs 31 woman used to really irritate me, because she was the impossible standard for every woman. My friends would get married, and would try to be The Proverbs 31 woman incarnate and I’d watch them stress themselves out to be the ultimate homemaker, […]
For many of us, routine is a good thing. For me it is. I thrive on having a schedule – and I have lots of them! I have a weekly schedule for my kids, cleaning schedule, cooking schedule, organization schedule, school schedule, and even a blogging schedule. I love being organized and having things flow nicely […]
In Christian circles, we have these terms we sometimes call “Christianeze”. Basically, it’s a lingo that Christians use and that non-Christians most times don’t understand….or misunderstand. One of those terms is “born again”. This isn’t anything new. Actually, in John 3 we see that Jesus used this very term and confused the person He was […]
I married later in life. Fact is, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get married. The one thing I always wanted to be was a wife and mommy. When all my school yard buddies wanted to be firemen, nurses, police officers and mailmen, I wanted to be a wife and mommy. The years of being […]
I’ll admit, I never dreamed I’d write a post about intimacy in marriage. I’m a bit shy when it comes to topics like this, and yet it is impossible to talk about revival in marriage without talking about revival in the intimate part of marriage. While I tried to approach this subject delicately, I must […]
About 4 months into dating, my husband and I began to embark on the topic of marriage. One of the things we talked about on those dates was the importance of the husband/wife relationship after children are born. After children come, so often the investment into marriage gets pushed aside with all of the diapers, […]
