Editor’s Pick: The Gift Of Forgiveness
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 […]
Editor’s Pick: Because You Stayed
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 […]
Editor’s Pick: Though Men Forsake You, I Will Never Forsake You…

Editor’s Pick: HELP! I Married A Wolf!
“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 […]
Editor’s Pick: New Creature, New Covenant
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 […]
Editor’s Pick: Is Adultery An Unforgivable Sin?
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 […]
Editor’s Pick: Marriage is Home
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 […]
Editor’s Pick: The Boyfriend And The Husband
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? […]
Editor’s Pick: Whose Argument Is It Anyway?
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 […]
Editor’s Pick: As Gracious as God
I remember when I was still single. I was quite bitter back then, and very angry! Mostly because of the inequality I saw between the sexes in matters of the heart, and largely due to the atrocities I’d heard and seen men get away with. I was hardened […]
Editor’s Pick: The Dreams That Get In The Way Of Joy
Yesterday, I watched two interesting films, that combined to leave a lasting impression on me. They were secular films, but had such great lessons. The first was “Everyone says I love you“, an old (1996) musical comedy with an all-star cast that included Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore and […]
Editor’s Pick: Great Expectations
Do you remember that catchy song from the 80s by Surface that goes “only you can make me happy”? It was one of my favourite songs at the time, and summed up my perspective on love, or better yet – romance. The claim is that you can’t be […]
Editor’s Pick: Are You Keeping A Dog Or Loving A Friend?
Relationships are not an exact science, and romantic relationships can be tricky. However, there are those who believe there is a formula to making it work. They share their wisdom on how to get a man, how to keep a man, and how to make sure he is […]
Editor’s Pick: Are You Too Proud To Give Her More…?
A young man and friend who read my book, The Church Girl, asked me the other day – “What’s the significance of the ring?” He referred to the scene where Mary was returning Ifeanyi’s ring to him, and was wondering why women need or want a ring with a […]
Editor’s Pick: Leader and Follower – A Match Made In Heaven
Marriage is a holy vocation, where two people attempt the greatest feat against natural odds together…living in love and agreement until death separates them. When we romanticise marriage, we diminish the obstacles against its success in our minds, while not acknowledging and addressing them in reality. We set ourselves […]
