Husbands Do Need to Hear the Gospel

Someone brought up a really important point on yesterday’s post about winning a husband without a word, that unbelieving husbands do need to hear the gospel – particularly if they haven’t heard it. All people need this! I don’t intend to say otherwise. And yet, 1 Peter 3:1-2 instructs wives of unbelieving husbands to “win them […]

Influencing an Unbelieving Husband for Christ

Photo by Eye for Ebony on Unsplash For a lot of men, “words are cheap.” There is something infinitely more powerful to husbands than a wife’s words about God and spiritual things. The thing that may pique a husband’s appetite for Christ is when he sees his wife live out a godly example and strong […]

Can I Have Peace with Science As a Follower of Christ?

Photo by rawpixel on Unsplash   When I was in school in the 1980s, teachers were always careful to say that evolution was a theory – and they would say that creation was another theory. It breaks my heart so much that students are taught that evolution is “fact” now – in our public schools, […]

“What If My Husband Doesn’t Care about My Happiness?”

How Can I Seriously Count Painful Times As Joy?

I was planning to write this post a few hours before my father-in-law suddenly died August 4th. It is the sequel to my post from last week about Is Real Joy Possible for Me?  I am honored to share these precious spiritual treasures with you – as it so happens – from the midst of […]

Is Real Joy Possible for Me?

A Tribute to My Amazing Father-in-Law

Last Saturday was like any other Saturday for our family. I went to work in the pharmacy for a few hours. Greg, our 11 year old daughter, and Dad Cassidy went to the two flea markets in town. They do that every Saturday, no matter what the weather. They picked up lunch at KFC and […]
