Today, the United States Supreme Court reversed a law that resulted in the murder of millions of innocent babies for 50 years.

Paternal Postpartum Depression (PPD) is estimated to affect one in ten men. It is predominantly caused by stress, and the risk for paternal postpartum depression doubles when the child’s mother develops a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder.

Yesterday, we celebrated my first little one’s birthday with extravagant love. Seeing him smile as he played with his gifts and best friend and beheld his little cake made my heart glad. God also delights in seeing us happy when we receive the material gifts He provides (Psalm 35:27). The little one’s birth has been […]

We are living in a time of global chaos. Bible-believing Christians should not panic; instead, we should focus on cultivating inner peace and giving peace (2 Peter 1:2; Matthew 10:13). According to the Cambridge Dictionary, cultivating means nurturing, developing, and improving something. This blog series will help you nurture and multiply your peace and become […]
The Children of Israel murmured, turned their backs on God, entered into captivity (mental and physical), and were destroyed because they forgot God. They forgot God’s Word, God as their provider, and forgot God after they entered their promised land. See Judges 8:28-35; Hosea 4:6; Numbers 14:20-45; 1 Corinthians 10:10 We will experience unnecessary challenges […]

Rebecca, Isaac’s wife, may have gotten parenting wrong by preferring one child more than the other, contributing to sibling rivalry. However, she loved her husband—she knew what he loved and how to prepare what he loved. She knew his love language and used it to accomplish a goal. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were […]
There was a time when I did not know God’s purpose for my life, and I took a career path that I thought was good for me at that time. I felt a job would help me earn good money to prevent financial struggles. Things changed when I discovered my calling—to teach women the Word […]
My usual morning foray found me in line at my favorite coffee shop. In front of me stood a young teen boy, perhaps a freshman in high school dressed in NFL football gear to warm his morning. Brrrr! It was a subzero morning standard for winter. The teen boy avoided eye contact and stood back […]
1 Peter 3:1-9 (AMP) In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won […]
In honor of African American History Month, I am sharing REDEMPTION. Please watch and share with others. Love births hope and healing.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Matthew 24:6-7 (KJV) […]
There are seven types of love- eros, philia, storge, agape, ludus, pragma, and philautia. Out of these 7, agape (selfless) love is the one that is defined in 1 Corinthians 13, the Love Chapter. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist […]
Someone recently presented me with this scenario: You can receive a billion dollars today, but you have to divorce your spouse in order to receive it. What would you do?

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:5 (NLT) Before receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the disciples relied on their natural strengths to love Jesus. Unfortunately, their strengths […]
And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27 (CEV) This is the truth- God wants you to love yourself. It is not an opinion, but an instruction […]
