Love Songs, Fireproofing and Thanksgiving!
My Pastor taught that values drive a culture and that culture shows up in the music. I believe that. So maybe that would explain why there isn't a lot of love songs in wide circulation. Where are the songs celebrating Marriage? I know we are Christians but come on lets be REAL. Although I do not listen to secular music daily I do have my favorite "For Married People Only Music." I don't see anything wrong with listening to a little Sade as you dance with your husband or wife. But as my collection gets older I wonder where are the love songs that you can actually listen to without profanity, and without too much information, being sung? I want to encourage all you Christian artists and

The Desert or the Promised Land Pt 3
Ok! So how have you been doing this week? Have you been YIELDING to your husband. Have you decided that you are going to be even more supportive and kind? Have you made up in your mind that regardless of how he acts, or the decisions he makes I'm going to yield to the Word of God in my behavior and attitude. Now let's make something clear. That doesn't mean you just smile politely without making your position known. It doesn't mean that you act like that princess in Coming to America either. Remember her? The prince upon meeting his future wife for the first time wanted to get acquainted with her. He asks her what do you like and she says "whatever you like" and that was her response to the

The Desert or the Promised Land Pt 4
Ok so we're learning how to yield right? We're learning how to yield our vessels first unto the LORD and only then will we able to be the supportive and respectful helpmates to our husbands .There are many, many, benefits to be derived from that alone but now let's talk about leaving a legacy to our children. What does legacy mean to you?Legacy- a gift of property, esp. personal property, as money, by will; anything handed down from the past.So as we are walking through life with our husband we want to make it our business to leave them a legacy of Godliness in Marriage. Remember the verses to that children's song? Oh be careful little eyes what you see, oh be careful little e

The Desert or the Promised Land Pt 2
I can hear you now, I don't care how good it gets! I'm not going to call my husband master! It's ok...I'm with you because I'm not quite there myself BUT although I'm not feelin the calling him master part. My attitude IS. We've all heard it said that your Attitude Determines Your Altitude. That is the truth! It will also determine your DECREASE in altitude. So let's look at this verse again.I Peter 3:1-61 In the same way, you wives should yield to your husbands. Then, if some husbands do not obey God's teaching, they will be persuaded to believe without anyone's saying a word to them. They will be persuaded by the way their wives live.2 Your husbands will see the pure liv

Marriage - The Desert or the Promised Land?
So I've been meditating on Sarah. She was quite a woman and she married a man that God spoke to, God walked among, and a man that God made a covenant with that would eventually bless her and the world. She had to be a pretty tough sister to be hooked up to a brother like that. Yes, they had their ups and downs, ins and outs, but being married to Abraham got so good to Sarah that she called him lord( master).I Peter 3:1-61 In the same way, you wives should yield to your husbands. Then, if some husbands do not obey God's teaching, they will be persuaded to believe without anyone's saying a word to them. They will be persuaded by the way their wives live.2 Your husbands wil
