Lest any think the message of grace Is a license to live at one’s will, Or an occasion to act selfishly, Hear ye! You were bought at a price. Though you were once a slave to sin, You are now the captive of Christ! As a new creature, […]
The Lord gave me a gift, And He said that in order to keep it, I must give it away… As often as I am offended; As often as I am hurt, I must give it away… For in that moment, They need it so much more… They […]
Because You stayed on that Cross, I am saved. Because You stayed, fighting til Your last, I know I can win… You didn’t have to do it, Lord. You said, “no one takes My life… “I lay it down willingly…” And You taught me to lay mine down […]
I wrote this poem in the night, for a friend of mine who is hurting so badly in her marriage. I also know the burden and pain of carrying a Cross and I have counselled too many women going through terrible marriages, that sometimes, I feel like all […]
Since I started writing my story series, I’ve come across women going through so many challenges in their lives, and especially in their marriages. It has inspired me to write and to keep writing about marriage, and how to be steadfast in it, and how to work to […]
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits” (Matt 7:15-16). We have this stark warning from Jesus in Scripture, but it is amazing how few of us take heed of this. The […]
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). This article complements the long article on 1 Corinthians 7, titled ‘A Hard Teaching’. There were some things said that need to […]
To begin to answer this question, we need to know what adultery is. Contrary to popular belief, adultery is a consequence of divorce, and not a cause of divorce. Often, marital unfaithfulness is equated with adultery, when in fact it is simply sexual immorality within marriage, which may […]
I’ve been looking through my journals lately, and reflecting on my writings from when I was single… One thing I desired most of all was acceptance and companionship. I realise that it was very important for me to find that in a mate, because it isn’t really about […]
The boyfriend has it the best!!! He can do no wrong, and every good deed he does is golden 🙂 The husband, on the other hand, can hardly get it right! Any good deed he does is suspect. I mean, what is he getting at being so nice? […]
I need my husband. I knew that before I married him. I knew myself well. After enough failed relationships and a heart still soft and desirous of love, I knew I needed someone who knew how to love me. Who knows how to be affectionate and sincere. I […]
I usually write for the ladies… Today, I want to write for the gents. I usually write from personal experience, but today, I’m writing from an understanding of a husband’s duty to his wife and family. We owe it to feminism for the blurred roles in the family. […]
This is for the ladies… STRICTLY for the ladies! So, I was thinking the other day how I would love it if my husband was more this and less that…you know what I mean? You know, if only he would just behave the way I want him to, […]
This post has been a long time coming, but I figured…better late than never. When I got the lesson for this article, I knew it was something worth sharing and remembering, and I am hoping that I’m still able to articulate the point. I know that it has […]
