Note: Check out this guest post from Diane Green.

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 [...]

With the recent news about President Obama’s open endorsement of gay marriage, I’ve seen many commentaries lately on beliefs about the topic. Most commonly, I have been seeing insults directed at anyone who does [...]

Learning to “Gel” a Blended Family

Edward — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:22:16 +0000

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 [...]

Elevate Your Marriage: Rededication and Where the Blog is Going…

This weekend was one of those points in life where you look and say, “Ok, what is working, what needs to change…”. About four years ago I finished the coursework for my Master’s in Old Testament History. But…between family, life, writing and ministry, I never actually filed for graduation – I know, that’s crazy. So [...]

God our Father

2 Corinthians 1:2
“2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

God. Our Heavenly Father.

What does that mean to you? I know it’s a phrase we often use to describe God, because Scripture tells us that God is our Father… but what does that mean? To [...]

Just One Day Away: God’s Timing and Planning for Our Lives

Edward — Sat, 12 May 2012 02:32:03 +0000

While Hopkins is known as one of the country's best hospitals, there was something very significant about being sent there. Because on that day, they were opening their new $1billion children's hospital. The new facility with all of it’s new equipment and technology was going to allow the doctors to ensure that their first pediatric surgical patient - a.k.a. my son - would get exactly what was needed. And that, amazes me...that the needed technology would not have been available, just one day earlier. And that to me, was God at work...

Perspective of the President’s View on “Marriage Equality”

Edward — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:15:38 +0000

Let me start by saying that as an author that has written on and studied every marriage in the Bible, I don’t agree with the President’s view on same sex marriage. There are over 60 married couples in the Bible and they all share a common thread – one man & one woman. That’s 60+ [...]

Tribute to Single Mothers

You are mom by nature and dad by circumstance. Today we say a prayer for single Mother’s that fill in gaps left by a missing father – for whatever reason. Single mothers sacrifice, teach, train, sacrifice and love their children – for two.

A Single Mom’s Sacrifice, in Hope

I Kings 17:12 But she said, “ [...]

Thanks Mom for Introducing Me to Christ

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.

Happy Mother’s Day Week! Mom’s give so [...]
