Submission Isn’t About the Paycheck
A question I often hear from Christian women is: “How can I submit to my husband when I make more money than he does?” It’s an interesting question—because it assumes submission is tied to income. I understand how we get there: traditionally, the husband is seen as the provider, and…

Is Donald Trump the Next King David?
Today Donald Trump will be sworn in as our 47th president. I am thankful that Donald Trump is being sworn in instead of Kamala Harris. I, along with millions of others, breathe a sigh of relief that we are not swearing in a President with an aggressive abortion and woke…

Praise and Prayer

Jesus and Temptation
So last week we looked at our sinful condition. We also looked at the pitfalls of relying on our own understanding when temptation arises, instead of going to the Lord and His word. We saw in scripture that we are sinful from the time of birth, our hearts/flesh/own understanding cannot…

To The Christian Holding Their Breath
God is still in control. The Lord is sovereign over you and your circumstances, over this election, and over the decisions and policies of whatever candidate gets into office.
