Recognizing the importance of prayer, going a day without it is like telling God ‘I don’t need you today.’ Wow. As followers of Christ, would we ever want to even think such a thing? But we all do, we all go a day without praying sometimes. Maybe it is because you had a long day, or you are busy and cannot fit in a quiet time daily. Regardless of your situation, you need to recognize
Complete in Christ not just a lifestyle. It is a mindset that no matter what happens or what worldly influences persist, wholeness is found in the Lord. Single families need to be reminded of Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you…” Single parents need a Biblical foundation to affirm their family is not an accident. It is not less complete, or in
When my marriage of 14 years ended against my wishes, I drove to and from work, often not remembering how I got there. When I arrived home at the end of the day, I found myself staring at the television without registering what was on. I was a zombie. All I could think was, ‘What now? I’m alone, searching for finding hope after divorce. That feeling of despair eventually dissipated, especially as I found solace
I offer forgiveness to you. Three words that people fight to say all the time. It could be pride, jealousy, or even anger that causes us not to want to offer forgiveness but we don’t say them nearly enough. Why?

A bucket list is a compiled list of ideas, experiences, and achievements a person wants to do before ‘kicking the bucket’ (dying). So how do bucket list differences single vs married manifest? Here are three categories where we notice similarities and three where we see distinctions. How they list are the same: Now, here is how they differ:
The big day is here! Here comes the bride all dressed in white. The groom dressed to the nines in his rented tux stands fidgeting at the front to begin a ceremony that moves even the hardest of hearts to tears. Then comes the reception including a toast from the father of bride of just how proud he is that his little girl found a man, almost implicating that a secret achievement has been unlocked
Divorce is nasty. Talk to anyone who is going through or has survived a divorced and unanimously they will say, even in the best of circumstances, divorce is hard. When children are involved in divorce, the stakes and emotions are even higher. From the day one spouse says the words “I want a divorce”, life and the marriage relationship will never return to the place it once was with unbroken trust. Mothers are by nature
History lessons teach the impact of death prevalent in culture when death is removed. A look at the Middle Ages finds people lived daily with the reality of death. A look at our current culture reveals a much different cultural view of death story. The current American lifestyle not only doesn’t discuss death, it finds ways to minimize and remove it from our daily life. An obsession with a youth-focused culture certainly is a major
The question of why a person is STILL single starts with all the wrong questions and answers. Why am I all alone? – “You’re not good enough” Why have I not purchased a home yet? – “You need a house to be settled” Why is dating so hard? – “Love just happens” Why can’t I make friends? – “Everyone else is loved” Why have I never been on a date? – “Your don’t put yourself
Your friends, family, and loved ones already know. They see it on your face every day, and hear it in your voice when you speak.
