We all have a story. Some people have things they do not want to remember, relive, or retell. Others may have less of those hard memories and more pleasant ones. Either way, those experiences have shaped us, whether we realize it or not. Trauma and pleasure shape our thoughts, wants, goals, and passions. Some experience… Continue reading What is Your Story?

Help meet Vs. Help mate
Our vocabulary today is much different than that of the original Old Testament. While these two words seem very similar, I feel there is a difference, and that’s why God chose “help meet.” Commonly, these two phrases are used interchangeably. The KJV uses “help meet” in Genesis 2:18 and 2:20, so that is the phrase… Continue reading Help meet Vs. Help mate
Maintaining a Healthy Marriage
As with any type of health-related thing, it takes effort and planning. However, all of the planning, organizing, and good ideas are useless if we never start putting them into practice. Just start. There will be off days. Days you are tired. Days when the temptation to quit is strong. Keep going. If you do… Continue reading Maintaining a Healthy Marriage

Is the Lord Your Strength?
Strength is defined as 1.“the quality or state of being physically strong.” 2. “The capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.” Life sure brings great force and pressure, doesn’t it? Trials, heartache, spiritual warfare, peer pressure, demands of others. It is all demanding and takes great strength to withstand. And… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Strength?
Is the Lord your Shepherd?

Is the Lord Your Savior?
Is the Lord Your Savior? I live in southeast Tennessee, and when you ask someone if they are saved, most people will say yes, followed by their reasoning. They respond with statements such as, “Granddaddy was a preacher,” “I have always believed in God,” “I was raised in church,” or “I am trying to live… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Savior?
Are You Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty?
Are you willing to get your hands dirty for the sake of someone else? Jesus did. I can’t get over these two accounts: The woman with the issue of blood was considered unclean, and when she touched Jesus, by the law of the day, He would’ve been unclean, too. The lepers that Jesus touched would’ve… Continue reading Are You Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty?
