5 Love Languages
What happens to love after the wedding? We all know that as times goes by we seem to lose focus of the relationship we had at the beginning with the one we love. Tons of books are written on this subject. Television and radio talk shows deal with it, the internet is full of advice and our parents and friends have a lot of advice. Keeping love alive in our marriages is serious business. With all this help available, why is it so few couples have found the secret to keeping love alive?

The problem is that people speak different love languages. Not...

Read MoreEvery Girl: 5 Faith Builders
“Please, God, give me a strong faith. In Christ’s name, amen.” When I first became a Christian, I picked up my Bible and read of people like David, who single handedly killed the most intimidating warrior of his time. I would turn away from my study of such men and women, wanting a faith like theirs. So, I would close my eyes, bow my head, and pray for God to give me a strong faith. Days, weeks, and months would pass by, and guess what? I still felt trapped inside of my own timid, halfhearted, wavering faith. If you find yourself at times asking the same prayer, and following the same endless cycle that I did for so long, then please, listen closely. Jonah had to sit inside a dark whale for 3 days to grow his faith. Daniel had to lie in a pit of...

Read MoreTo The End Of The Book
Originally, the phrase “turning over a new leaf” meant to turn to a new page in a book. The phrase came to mean to change one’s life. I read a story about a man who was overtaken in sin. His friend pleaded for him to “turn over a new leaf” and the man agreed. Later, the friend came to visit and found the man overtaken by the same sin. When the man was confronted about the breaking of his vow, he replied, “Yes, but I hadn’t quite made it to the end of the page”. History tells of another man named Marcus Julius Agrippa. He was the seventh and last king of the family of Herod the Great and lived from about 27 AD to 94 AD. As ruler over Jerusalem, he was well studied in Jewish history and claimed Judaism as his...
