Wives, You’re Not Immune To Attraction

Movies and Christian romance novels have lied to us, ladies. So many of us believe that once we find the right "prince," our affections will never waver and our eyes will never wander. But that's a lie...and a dangerous one.

It all started with that first happily ever after movie, preaching the same old story of perfection found in a prince. He would be dashingly handsome and his charisma would forever sweep me off my feet. We would live, always fully enthralled with each other’s affection and never tempted to glance away. Or so I […]

Rest Isn’t Found In “Me Time”

Self-care is a popular trend in many circles, lately. You'll find it in the conversations of anyone from hyper liberals to traditional conservatives. It truly goes hand and hand with the culture we've built, centered around self-esteem and personal happiness.

How do you view rest? What comes to mind when you think about it? I can picture it now…a cozy blanket, Pride and Prejudice (the old one), a creamy cup of coffee and yarn and hook in hand. Maybe for you it’s a nap or a book and some hot tea. Whatever it is, most humans […]

The Protection of God’s Word

Across the world, Christian women like you and me, trot through life guided by their feelings. Prone to falling prey to deceitful doctrine, they’re tossed from one wave of chaos to another wave of confusion, drifting further and further from the truth. But why? Two reasons come to mind. (1) They aren’t truly saved or, (2) […]

The Beauty of Marriage and Unity With Christ

Walking down the aisle to meet my Groom is one of my most precious memories. It was the fruition of all the years of painful waiting. An event that displayed the Lord’s faithfulness to me. All of the anticipation of what it would be like to experience oneness with this man I loved so deeply, would […]

Fifty Shades Darker and the Savior Woman Mentality

There’s a much deeper issue with the Fifty Shades series than the sexual exploitation praised within it. It’s a disease that can be found in the heart of almost any woman. We want men to want and need us, desperately. That their minds would be filled with us and their hearts would be shaped and molded into our likeness. We want to be saviors of men.

“I don’t know what I’d do if anything ever happened to you.” “Don’t you know you’re not the first woman to try to change him?” These boringly predictable quotes came through my car speakers on the radio last week. Again, the objectification of women and distortion of God’s design for sex is promoted as this […]

Stop Telling Me To Love Myself More

Throughout the Bible, we are often called out on our pride, not our lack of self worth. We think we're pretty worthy of anyone and everyone's affection, including God. And when we don't receive the affection we think we deserve, we often pitch a fit.

“You need to learn to love yourself more before you can love others well.” We’ve all heard it. Some of us have nodded in agreement and affirmation. It sounds like a good solution to our sinful ears. Love myself more? I can roll with that! More “me” time, less nagging kids. More yes to me, […]
