I was struggling a bit in my mind, no doubt a spiritual battle. Satan wants us to think about and act negatively toward our spouses. When praying and looking at Scripture, God gave me this reminder. I am sure I’m not the only one that needs it. Webster’s 1828 dictionary explains good will as being… Continue reading With Good Will

Be like Hur
Exodus 17:8-16 “Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

How’s Your Walk?
We hear many things referring to our spiritual walk. Usually, this refers to your daily walk or daily devotions. We are encouraged to be consistent in this area, and I agree that we should be. However, Scripture has a lot to say about our walk. Galatians 5:16 says, “This I say then, Walk in the… Continue reading How’s Your Walk?

Choosing Faith in 2022

I don’t even like committing to a doctor appointment that's three weeks out. I know, it's a problem. … Continue reading Choosing Faith in 2022
Submission for the Working Wife
I understand God has a different plan and design for each of us. My financial situation looks different than yours. How you’ve chosen to educate your children may be different. I am not going to degrade you for working outside of the home, for choosing public school, or for feeling like a better mom because… Continue reading Submission for the Working Wife
Who Said it Wouldn’t be Hard?
Too often we hope for the blessings and mountaintops of Christianity and choose to despise the valleys. Valleys are often dark, lonely, cool, damp, uncomfortable, and there’s only one way out: through it. The valleys are not something we would ever ask or hope for. But, as you’ll learn, we can’t live without them. Sadly,… Continue reading Who Said it Wouldn’t be Hard?
Intimacy in Marriage: Part 3
Go above and beyond for your spouse without expecting anything in return. Simply seek to be a blessing to them just because you love them.
