Welcomed at the Well: Reflection on the Samaritan Woman
Nameless, the Samaritan woman was married five times. She was now living with a man who had no obligations to her (John 4:18). The details about her five husbands are not given to us, and we don’t know the circumstances behind her current situation. Nevertheless, we find her in John chapter four at Jacob’s well…

Helping your husband hold fast to you…
The “leaving” found in Genesis 2:24 is a verb that carries profound implications beyond just physical separation. Likewise, the “holding” implies more than just physical intimacy. In reality, there are three internal changes that must happen within your husband resulting in him leaving his father and his mother. I believe that by understanding these changes,…

Lessons from Eve
Most of the world know her story. Jesus confirms her existence (Matthew 19:4). She was created in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:22). She was the only woman who had ever physically walked in God’s paradise on Earth (Genesis 1:28-31; Genesis 2:8-15; Genesis 3:8). She no doubt experienced perfect peace with God until she ate…

How are you using your Bible? Can it become an idol?
Before I say more, I confess that the Bible is indeed the written, infallible, all-sufficient words of the living God, Yahweh, creator of heaven and earth (Psalms 19:7-11; Psalms 119; 2 Timothy 3:16). I confess my belief that “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)” You can no…

God’s Mercy: Meditations on Hagar (Genesis 16 and 21)
Little is known about Hagar’s back story. Many Bible commentaries conclude that this Egyptian woman found herself gifted as a maidservant by Pharoah to a beautiful woman named Sarai, later renamed as Sarah (Genesis 12:15-16; Genesis 17:15). Regardless of how Hagar ended up with Sarah and Abraham, according to Genesis 16:3, she was forced into…

You must learn to love yourself? Meditations on Matthew 22:39
The secular just-love-yourself-to-happiness delusion has found its way into evangelical teaching for Christian women. The Christianized version of self-love is that we can better love others when we learn to love ourselves. At first glance, it may sound logical and appealing. However, when tested by God’s Word, this teaching of self-love is unbiblical and demonic…

When is it okay to follow your heart?
The Bible clearly teaches that our fleshly desires are at war against God’s desires (Mark 4:19; Romans 7:14-25; Romans 13:14; Galatians 5:16-1). I am certain that we all can testify from life experiences that this struggle within us is real. God Himself testified that “every intention of the thoughts of [man’s] heart was only evil continually” (Genesis…
