My situation is very difficult. Ok please don’t judge me and no negative comments. I’ve been with my husband for 10 yrs almost. Problem is, when we got together it was when I was very young and did not know The Lord. Basically we had sex out of wedlock and out of that came a beautiful son now going to be 9yrs old. Well we married last year in court and I feel I did it rushed and feeling obligated. Truth is I care for my husband, but I doubt that I love him! I’ve told him this but every…

Hello all! I have a serious situation. My husband was in a bad car accident which left him sterile. We discussed this before we married. I was okay with the idea of maybe we can just adopt. Fast forward 6 years later and we are in the middle of the adoption process. Only to find out that felons are not allowed to adopt. My husband made some bad choices when he was younger as a lot of us did. He’s not that same person anymore. He’s a youth pastor, a hard worker, and a loving husband. It hurts him that…
My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We don’t have any children because he is terrified. Beyond his fear, he says that we don’t have the finances to raise a child, we don’t have the time, he doesn’t think he would be a good father, his career in law enforcement has ruined him, he doesn’t like change (AT ALL!), etc… I see every statement as an excuse and selfish. We’ve had countless discussions and they don’t get us anywhere. He professes to have an extremely deep, personal relationship with the Lord, but how can he when he…
Talk about seeing doubles…Can you imagine being a toddler, and having to process while your daddy is holding you, that he’s also standing in front of you? This video of an adorable little girl meeting her uncle for the first time may be the funniest video you’ll see today. In the footage, the toddler is being carried by her father to meet the rest of the family when things get a little weird for her. Her uncle walks in the room to greet her and suddenly she looks as though she’s in the twilight zone after realizing her uncle looks…
Hello, I Am a 22 year old young woman that s struggling with being CONSISTENT in my vow of celibacy until MARRIAGE. During my teenage years I was very promiscuous. I had many sexual partners, and engaged in all types of illicit sexual activities. I was wild and sometimes didn’t make the best decisions about who I slept with and I didn’t always use protection. 2 abortions and sexually transmitted diseases later, I began to examine my sexual habits and appetite for lust. In 2011 after my sexual partner of 2 years scared me into thinking I had HIV, I…
God has blessed me with many wonderful things recently, a wonderful husband and in March I will be giving birth to a beautiful son. But with all this joy I am dealing with a major problem, my mother. I grew up in a very poor household with a single mother and my sister, and ever since I can remember my mother has always used drugs and alcohol. My sister left to be with her dad at he age of 11. I was stuck with my mom. She was very abusive and had horrible people over all the time, she was…

Gospel recording artist Fred Hammond is starting the year out with a bang! Many of us have watched Fred’s honest struggle with his knees. He even revealed a big disappointment last year. Well, he has let us in on a miracle in his life one year later! Just a couple of days ago, Hammond underwent knee surgery. Only twenty minutes after the surgery, Hammond posted on Twitter, “Physical therapy 20 minutes after surgery, let’s go,” and posted the above picture. He also said, “Literally learning how to walk again. Stretching and exercising left til 6:30 then right leg @ 8:30……
I’ve been making many internal changes to be able to live a life full of happiness. I’ve realized many things about myself that caused me to live a very “heavy” life, and those things, I have started to take lightly. Now I just have to shake that spirit of jealousy. I’m not a materialistic person, so I’m not one of those “keeping up with the Jones” types. My problem is being territorial over people in my life. I’m possessive. I tend to say things like “my grandma” instead of simply “grandma” while talking with cousins who also have the same…
My name is Carrie and 13 years ago on the heel of a failed marriage I was set up on a blind date with a gentleman named Hal. I thought for sure nothing would come of it since he was younger then me and I was divorced with a child. Eventually we began dating seriously and after two years and having a son together I finally gave in to his request to spend the rest of our lives together! The first three years of marriage were so perfect, we had such a wonderful life together and he was an amazing…
My husband and I have been married for 14 years. We have 3 kids and the youngest is only 6 months old. We have just started our own church with a small following. My husband is a good husband in every way, don’t get me wrong but recently we have not been what you call sexually compatible. He’s into things that I’m not into. He wants to do things, I’m not quite comfortable with. He gets sex whenever he wants it, but when he doesn’t get it how he wants it, It’s a fight. Now he has asked me to…
Yes, we all have weaknesses in the flesh that God recognizes and is not at all surprised by. “He does not punish us for all our sins; He does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For His unfailing love toward those who fear Him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. The Lord is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him. For He knows how weak we are; He remembers…
Hello, I have been attending my church for over 8 years now. Everything was fine up until a few months ago. I really don’t even know if this is possible, but I think I have outgrown my church. I usher, I’m in the choir, I run Children’s church etc. I do what I can wherever I’m needed. However, the people are so messy. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even talk to anyone anymore. Everyone is so nosy. They gossip and all talk about each other behind their backs. But that’s the least of my worries. My pastor…
No one will argue with the notion that we are all different and wired differently. We all do not share the same experiences, come from the same country, share the same religion, are not taught the same way etc. I was at a wedding ceremony recently where the couple were asked to say what they loved or liked about each other. It was interesting to note that not one of the things each person mentioned was the same. Each of the couple expressed their love for something different about each other. This leaves me to believe that our differences are…
Your healing begins when you forgive those who have wronged you and pray for those who have walked away from you!
Think of it as a “The Bachelor” (Church Edition). Members of a Christian congregation will play matchmaker in a competition to help an unattached fellow parishioner find their match. In each episode, ‘It Takes A Church’, visits a congregation from across the country to surprise one unsuspecting single with the news that they’re about to be saved from the dating world. The church’s Pastor will task their congregation of cupids to find the best possible matches for the dater. At the end of the matchmaking competition, the unattached parishioner will decide which suitor to put his or her faith in.…
My husband and I have only been married for a little over a year. The 3 yrs before while dating he put me through everything a woman could possibly go through. He was addicted to drugs, cheated on me and left me several times. All the while I was a faithful and good woman who was always there when he needed me. After our last break up I finally moved on (or so i thought) and dated a man who would have been the perfect match for me. But I couldn’t love him. My husband, (not married at the time)…
Welcome to 2014! This is a brand New Year with the same great God. Every year people make New Year resolutions listing all the wonderful things they wish to accomplish, unfortunately most of those goals are set to the wayside before the first week of the year is complete. Thankfully all the great things God have in store for us still remain the same. The same wonderful things God wanted for you last year He still has for you this year and the years ahead: perfect health and strength, life of abundance, love, peace, long life, just to name a…
‘Gravity’ is a film about a female astronaut (Dr. Ryan Stone) and her race against time to make it back to Earth after an interstellar catastrophe kills her crew members. It is one of the best woman empowerment films this decade. Definitely, it is a cinematic masterpiece in regards to film technology. Whether this was deliberate on director/writer Alfonso Cuarón’s part or not, he created one of the best faith films in years. Gravity means the heaviness, the weights and pressures that exist on earth. The film explores the spiritual theme of the gravitational pulls within one’s life to believe…
Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. (Matthew 6:1) Some people love to do good things for other people not because it’s the right thing to do, but for their own selfish reasons. It makes them feel good about themselves. It makes them feel important, needed and wanted. Truth is… if you’re not doing it for the right reason, you might as well not do it at all. Kindness should be something that flows from the heart, not…
