Let’s get…
No matter how wonderful our marriage may be, our deepest need for connection can only be satisfied in the Lord.
How many women here relate to this woman in the cartoon? How many men have claimed this supposed right over their wive's bodies? It's interesting to me how Christianity condemns the objectification of the body, especially sexually, while this idea that husbands have total dominion over their wive's bodies, as if they were objects of pleasure, flourishes in its midst. I’ve been posting what I call my Sexy Sunday cartoons that challenge Purity Culture. This is one of them.

Christians love themselves a joke as much as anyone else, even if their humor might stay firmly on the “safe” side of things at times. Because although church can be boring, Sunday school is a drag, nuns, priests, and all the religious beliefs, and God supposedly keeping an eye even on your thoughts, it doesn't always have to be so serious!

Ask any expectant mother what her thoughts are about pregnancy and she may have varying opinions (depending which way her hormones swing). From a miracle to a painful journey, a lot of things might come to her mind. However, for people surrounding her, it also becomes an amusing guessing game regarding the gender of the baby she's carrying. Why? Because in some countries like India and China
In Genesis 3:16, we are told the consequences of sin that women would experience due to sin entering the world. One thing that would happen to them is that "...thy desire shall be to thy
For many years now, I have been searching the scriptures for marriages. Of course, we know about Sarah and Abraham. We know about Ruth and Boaz, Esther and King Xerxes, David and Bathsheba. Maybe we remember Hannah and Elkanah or even the unnamed wives—like Job's, Lot's, or Phineas'? But why are they there? ...If God chose to include these stories, there must be something for us to notice.

This title won't be as contentious as my other title that beings with “Men Prefer...” since I doubt any men prefer their wives to be unattractive. Those who will find it to be contentious are
“It’s gossip to talk about abuse.” “You need to love your husband unconditionally.” “Love covers a multitude of sins.” “Keep no record of wrongs.” “Think on good things.” Women are being told how to be “godly” in their marriage by pastors and well-meaning Christians who don’t understand psychologica
Most of my life I never felt good enough. I lived with a feeling of unworthiness, which in turn enabled me to seek my worth in the world and what it deemed as beautiful. I was always let down because the world left me feeling more unworthy. It wasn’t until I found the Lord where I discovered all the beautiful things He saw in me as His own daughter.Perhaps you don’t feel worthy because the last relationship you had left you broken. Or you never quite felt good enough to others growing up. Maybe someone as close as a parent always told you that you were never good enough, no matter how hard you tried. Or the society you live in could be feeding you false ideas of beauty. Such things can pierce at the core of who we are and distort the image we have of ourselves.But hear me when I say this: we don’t have to live with these words, perceptions, and lies we’ve believed about ourselves any longer. I’m so sorry for whatever you have been through, causing you to feel you are not worthy enough. We live in a fallen world (Romans 5:12) and people will hurt us. This life can damage us. But Our God, Our Creator can restore you, wherever you are reading this. He’s ready to tell you all the beautiful things He sees in you. And if you need the reminder, it is Him we will spend eternity with. Let’s value His word above anyone else’s. His thoughts above all. For He finds you oh so beautiful.Here are 10 beautiful things God sees in you (even if you can’t see it yourself):Photo Credit: © Unsplash/Andreas Dress
