Does Your Spouse Feel Like They’re Married to Jesus?
Now, I want to start off by saying that you and your spouse are not Jesus. You can’t fully meet each other's needs and desires, neither of you are perfect, and you both require grace daily. However, we are to be becoming more and more like Christ every day, including serving and loving as He… Continue reading Does Your Spouse Feel Like They’re Married to Jesus?
Seek Humility
I truly believe humility is the key to the victorious Christian life. Google defines humility as: the quality of having a modest view of one's value or importance. Webster’s 1828 gives this definition: 1. In ethics, freedom from pride and arrogance; humbleness of mind; a modest estimate of one's own worth. In theology, humility consists… Continue reading Seek Humility
Mom’s Quiet Time
As a mother, it is easy to get caught up in the many responsibilities you have in a day. Especially in the early years of motherhood. Trying to keep up with your home, appointments, church, and now your newborn, is not easy. As a mom who is pretty far from that phase, I hope to… Continue reading Mom’s Quiet Time
The Sin of Ingratitude
The Sin of Ingratitude I recently read Psalm 106:12-14, “Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.” Does this describe your life? As I read this, the Lord spoke to my… Continue reading The Sin of Ingratitude
What if Their Wives Had Said No?
As wives, we often hear how we should support our husbands and submit to his leadership. To that, I would agree completely. We are told that our submission and support are commands given to us by God, and in honoring our husbands, we also honor God. Again, I would agree. Today, I want to take… Continue reading What if Their Wives Had Said No?
The Correction of God
The correction of God isn’t a particularly enjoyable topic to think about. We usually prefer to focus on His love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness. However, to have the best understanding of God, we must look at His character in its entirety. God is also just and holy, and He desires to cultivate those characteristics in… Continue reading The Correction of God

To the Spouse That is at Church Alone on Sunday
As I sat in church today and looked around, I saw many friends, familiar faces, and visitors. One caught my attention. A wife that was at church without her husband. This isn’t the first week she’s come alone, this is the norm for her. And her children. As I glanced around the auditorium, God reminded… Continue reading To the Spouse That is at Church Alone on Sunday
To the Spouse That is Home Alone on Sunday
Do you find yourself at home on Sundays because your spouse goes to church? If so, you’re in the right place. I’m not going to belittle you, beg you to go with them, or berate you for staying home. I want to offer you a different point of view. When one spouse goes to church… Continue reading To the Spouse That is Home Alone on Sunday
Where is Your Focus
The account of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42 is a well-known passage of Scripture. It is often used to encourage worship over service, to which I would completely agree. I’d like to take a look at Mary’s worship. Mary and Martha are sisters, Martha appearing to be the elder of the two. As the… Continue reading Where is Your Focus
