“Unveiled” comes from power producing couple Mark Burnett and Roma Downey. The one-hour drama follows an ensemble of “flawed guardian angels” who attempt to restore faith and save the lives of those who find themselves facing crisis. Burnett and Downey serve as exec producers, alongside John Sakmar (“Boston Public”) and Kerry Lenhart (“The Glades,” “Psych,” “Boston Public”), who will also pen the pilot. Universal Television and LightWorkers Media will produce. During this Easter season, Downey and Burnett’s newest show, “A.D.,” will premiere as a follow-up to their hit “Bible” series. The couple says “A.D.” will pick up where the “Bible” series left off and focus…
Over the last year we have seen Tina Campbell, of Mary Mary, share her story through reality TV. We have seen her and Teddy rebound from infidelity and the love is so apparent. Teddy and Tina have done massive work in the last year on their relationship and have had to refocus their entire worlds to get their marriage back on track. Teddy shared on Instagram a picture of him and Tina after she preached her first sermon, ‘We Shall Overcome Today!’ We already know that Tina has a word to deliver, and wonder if this will be permanent. They are a couple…
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me”. -2 Corinthians 12:9 I have yet to experience the joy of what it feels like to have a life growing on the inside of me, nor feel the first kick of a baby in my womb, nor am I aware of what it sounds like to have someone call me “mommy”, and I have yet to see my husband eyes light up…
Many women dream of that special day. You know the one, where all of the attention is on her in that gorgeous white dress. The flowers, the decorations, the fancy cars and let’s not forget, her Prince Charming. Most women have an idea of what age they will be when Mr. Right asks her to spend the rest of her life with him. She has the colors picked out, the ideal season, the wedding party and even the guest list! To many women, the wedding day is the turning point in her life that will lead to her happily ever…
I prayed for you- Mr. Right, but when you came along I forget all about God. I didn’t talk to Him anymore. I didn’t spend time with Him anymore. I barely found time to pray, except for when things were going bad for us. I can honestly say that I chose my “Mr. Right” without consulting with God and it only lead to disaster and heartache. Before we got married, I should have checked my motives. Why do I want to get married? Is it for the right reasons? I remember when we first started dating. I was convinced that you were a gift from God. You were so different from all the other men I had dated…
God is an on time God! It’s a good feeling when God shows up just in time, but the best feeling is when you realize He has never left you!
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3) It crashed to the floor, breaking into an explosion of pieces. Beyond repair. My favorite mug, now being swept into the trash. Broken things are common in my household. If certain broken pieces are able to be fixed, they normally find a temporary home on the shelf, awaiting the super glue repairs. Or maybe just tossed away if unable to be neatly pieced back together and strategically repaired without hint of a patchwork of super glue lines. Often, it takes too much work to fix what is broken. It’s easier…
Christian blogger, Veronica Partridge is taking a stand against leggings. While she says that she is not trying to start a movement, she simply is doing what she thinks is the respectful thing to do for her. She blogs frequently about her family, her Christian values, and her life in Central Oregon. She has had a conviction weighing on her mind for a long while. She believes that leggings, yoga pants, or any type of form fitting-pants create a stronger attraction and cause men to look at a woman’s body more objectifying. Partridge, a happily married woman, went to her husband for some advice.…
For years I’ve considered myself to be adequately healthy: I have great relationships I drink water almost exclusively I stay active I journal I even paid off $25k of student loans in three years But for all those years, I lived with clutter. I thought it was a “sacrifice” I had to make. That if I was going to continue succeeding in other areas of my life, I had to live with clutter. I thought decluttering was an unhealthy waste of time and energy. Sure, I liked for things to be clutter-free, but it wasn’t worth the effort. I made…
Do something today that could better all your tomorrows.
Once upon a time, I got led on. Yep, you heard me. The “relationship expert” herself, got led on. In fact, getting led on was not a one-time deal when it came to my interactions with the opposite sex back in the day. At one point in my life, a predictable relationship pattern started to emerge between me and men. It went something like this: Step 1: He starts interacting with me. Step 2: I get very excited about the prospect of this potential interest, and show some interest back. Step 3: We start hanging out, talking more often, and interacting…
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) “Do you want to harm yourself or your baby?” “No.” “Okay. No Post-Partum Depression then.” That was the extent of my examination at my release from the hospital after my son was born as well as at my six week post-partum check up with my doctor. And since that seemed to be the only question I had been asked regarding the issue, I…
“God forgive me, I did it again. I really messed up this time. I’m really struggling with this sin and I just can’t seem to be able to overcome it.” How many times have we prayed a prayer like this? How many times have we come before God asking for forgiveness for this one sin or set of sins that we just can’t seem to avoid? How many times have we felt ashamed and afraid to approach God about this issue? So we let the days run by all the while feeling guilty, waiting for the lightning bolt that will…
For dating Christians, having a relationship full of fun and love must be weighed with self-control and upholding the faith. At times, Christian principles of chastity, honesty and worship present challenges but these same foundational guidelines also promote a wholesome and holy relationship based on trust, love and respect. These are all important qualities in a healthy, long-lasting Christian relationship. Plan activities reflective of the faith. Attend church together, pray, read the Bible, volunteer at charities or do mission work together. Venues such as bowling alleys, parks and bookstores sometimes sponsor Christian events. Go on dates in public places that…
I remember so clearly, a time when my heart was broken. And boy do I mean broken! It was an awful time in my life. In my mind there was no way on God’s green earth that this man who’d professed his love for me over and over again for nearly a year and a half was suddenly walking out on me. He had come on so strong and determined to acquire my love. From the very beginning he’d made it perfectly clear to everyone that knew us that I was going to be his wife. But sadly in the late evening hours…
I’ll never forget my high school days. I remember walking down those huge halls, surrounded by the buzz of morning chatter and the gossip of the weekend. I can almost still hear the sound of the slamming lockers, and smell the faint odor of cafeteria food looming in the air. Walking down those halls was never an easy task. I always felt like I was on display…like there some sort of a spotlight shining on me, every…where…I…went. It was like constantly being under a magnifying glass- with every flaw being projected to the world in HD. If I’m honest, I struggled…
I think I’ve dreamed about my wedding from the time I had my first school age crush. From my dress, to my cake, to my bridesmaids, even down to my groom. He was going to be tall, dark, handsome, and well dressed. Two years ago my dream came true (or so I thought). We met through a mutual friend so I thought right away I had an advantage by bypassing all the serial killers and crazies out there. From what I was told about him, he was a police officer (so that at least meant he didn’t have a record), He was…
Sometimes we know the right thing to do, but the hard part is doing it. Here are 21 Scriptures That Are Hard to Digest at Times
Since the beginning of time, woman has been a gift to man. Eve didn’t have to do much to win Adam over in the perfect garden. She probably hadn’t shaved or spent tons of money at the salon and definitely hadn’t learned 50 ways to cook chicken to win Adam over. He knew that she was a gift and he was thankful. Unfortunately today women are doing all they can to convince a guy that they are worth having. Magazine articles, books and well meaning friends and family constantly remind us that we are not doing enough. We are told…
Why hold on to something or someone you know you have to let go of? I traveled to my hometown of New Orleans a few days ago and I made a stop at that the French Market just to take a stroll and check out the vendors. I passed several vendors within the market, but there was one vendor that I passed who happened to stand out the most. I did not have any intentions of stopping at his table, but something prompted me to stop and talk to him. This particular vendor was a poet and a man of…
