Christians Talking To Demons: What does God’s Word say about rebuking and commanding prayers?
I was introduced to the practice of rebuking, binding, and casting away demons in a workshop based on a book authored by Neil T. Anderson called The Bondage Breaker. As a young Christian, I was intrigued because I didn’t know that I had all these bondages that needed to be broken. I learned about supernatural,…

“…Male and Female He created them.” What does God’s Word say about gender?
In the same way that the creation account gives the Biblical definition of marriage, I believe the creation account can also give us much clarity in understanding gender. Transgenderism, agenderism, and gender fluidity is a growing movement making its way into Christendom, especially as progressive Christianity embraces its ideologies. This movement is gaining traction in…

What does it really mean to know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made? Reflections on Psalm 139
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14) is a popular catch phrase teaching in women’s ministry today. I see it used a lot in women’s devotionals and on t-shirts and coffee mugs to boost women’s sense of value. Unfortunately, this is misleading and misses the mark when women quote this verse and yet still…

Forgiving And Moving Past The Hurt In Our Marriages
There was an older lady who shared with me the troubles during her earlier years of marriage. Though her husband is treating her much better now (as he has matured in the Lord), she still has so much hurt in her heart from the past physical and emotional abuse. “I feel like a wall that…

It Takes A Strong Woman of Faith To Submit To Her Husband
Growing up in a very patriarchal culture, my mind was scarred with the culture’s negative connotations of submission as a sign of weakness and mindless subservience. Conveniently enough, the American feminist culture empowered my own fight to some how free myself from all male superiority, cultural restrictions on women, and second-class gender roles. This was…

Is it Biblical for the wife to work outside the home?
It may not seem like a big deal for a lot of 21st century wives to be working outside the home. But, as a Christian wife who is employed full-time outside my home, I was stopped in my tracks years ago coming across the verse above in Titus 2 where it says that a woman…

5 Ways To Help Your Husband Grow Spiritually
You are the first one to taste the fruit of your husband’s spiritual life (Galatians 5:22-23). Everything from how he handles stress to how he spends his money to how he treats you are evidences of how he relates to God. Although you are not your husband’s savior nor are you responsible for his actions,…

The Secret of the Proverbs 31 Woman’s Heart
This Proverbs 31 woman was so perfect, and I fell so short of this Biblical standard. But, as I meditated on and prayed this passage, there was one phrase that gave me much clarity and lifted that burden right off my shoulders.

The Excellent Wife: Her To-Do List
God’s Word is a treasure chest for all practical things on this topic, but my favorite passage is Proverbs 31:10-31. In context, we have a loving mother teaching her son (Proverbs 31:1) the distinguishing traits of an excellent wife (Proverbs 31:10). God is so gracious to us wives as to give us Proverbs 31:10-31 in…

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Genesis 2:18 (ESV)
There was nothing I could say to justify myself in light of this Scripture; I could not even let my husband’s sins and failures justify my sins.
