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,…

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).

Sex and Spiritual Warfare in Marriage: Reflections on 1 Corinthians 7:5
One area of life constantly under attack by Satan is the Christian’s sex life. Whether someone is a single Christian or a married Christian, Satan will bring temptations in order to destroy the Christian testimony with sexual sins. Sexual sins are lured by uncontrolled sexual desires (James 1:14-15) and come from the heart (Matthew 15:19).…

“Whoever spares the rod…” What does God’s Word say about physically disciplining our children?
Parenting my six children have opened my eyes to the complexity and necessity of wise disciplining, which includes the use of physical discipline. Every child is unique and require different ways of training. As parents, we do our best to train our children by being examples and teaching with our words. One child may require…

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,…
