We date, fall in love, get married, have kids and the rest is a blur, right? For some it is, for others, not quite so. It cannot be stressed enough the importance of being reminded that our marriages need to remain strong despite the daily hurdles [...]
One of the biggest and yet most under addressed concerns facing Christian couples today is how to bring together or gel a blended family. With divorce being more prevalent today than in past generations, it follows that 2nd marriages that include children from previous relationships, are also more prevalent today, than in the past. Of [...]
I Samuel 1:27-28 For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him. 28 So I have also dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.

It is not a matter of what Scriptures we should use in specific situations – almost like a band aid over a cut. Rather, when challenges come, what is already in a person’s heart? Because when life squeezes us, only what is inside will come out. So whether we sow an abundance of reality shows and idle time into our hearts or God’s Word, what is in us is what is coming out.

I am speaking of spouses yelling at each other. I am speaking of parents yelling at children. I am even speaking of children yelling at [...]
Typically, it isn’t possible to change the reality of the conflict (we can’t make other people do what we think they should do, and we can’t make the world work how we think it ought to work). Acknowledging the fact that in reality, things don’t happen like we think they should can help us adjust our expectations and alleviate some of the conflict.
Everyday with my three year old son is a new adventure! Today, he wants to change his name to James Stewart, his favorite dirt bike (motorcycle) racer. A few months ago he accepted Christ and looked me square in my eyes and demanded that I take him in front of our 2,000 member church so [...]
There is a question that I hear at least 2-3 times a week; What do I do if my husband or wife does not believe in or actively have a relationship with Christ?.
It certainly is a challenge for anyone that, for any reason, is married to a person that is playing by a different [...]
