love (10)

There is not a marriage counselor, self-help book, or marriage retreat that can save a marriage as much as the Bible. God’s Word is equipped to provide help for whatever circumstances we face while married.

Here are ten verses that can help to save and heal your struggling marriage. They are verses to remind us what love is and what God has created in your union with your spouse.

1. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not pu

Love Comes First

One evening my friend showed me one of the three decorative plaques that would be part of a wall arrangement in her living room. “See, I’ve already got Love,” she said, holding up the plaque with the word written on it. “Faith and Hope are on order.”

So Love comes first, I thought. Faith and Hope soon follow! 

Love did come first. In fact, it originated with God. First John 4:19 reminds us that “We love [God] because he first loved us.” God’s love, desc

Dr. Boyce Watkins poised to answer any questions

Due to their interesting choices in programming, VH1 might be better referred to as “The Evil Empire.”  Their endless stream of reality TV shows tend to focus on taking otherwise irrelevant black people and making them as  recognizable as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (I’m serious:  There are black kids who could identify a Basketball Wife before they could identify Dr. King – don’t even try Malcolm X or Harriet Tubman).   There is then this awkwar

HUFFPOST-live-interview-with-ja-rule.jpg
Ja Rule has had a difficult relation with church starting with his Jehovah's Witness background. So he has been a bit uncomfortable with people asking him if he was 'saved' during his church tour with the movie 'I'm in Love With a Church Girl'.
In a conversation with HuffPost Live host Marc Lamont Hill, the rapper explained that he didn't 'feel a part of it" and shared his suspicion that when church people say 'come as you are' they don't really mean it.
However, a recent experience at a church

Each year, Ed and Tina Green watch their daughter's wedding video at their Gambrills, Md., home in silence. She died on July 5, 1993, of cancer, just one year after walking down the aisle.



"If I was ever going to be depressed, that would have been the time," recalled Ed. "But Tina and the kids kept me from it."
Their daughter's loss was a test the Greens would not have passed had they not resolved early on to make their marriage work.
When they said, "I do," 52 years ago, they enlisted in a

Faith in the One who Love You First

7936051078?profile=original It seems like before every book signing I deal with a spiritual battle, it seems as if the forces of evil would love nothing better than to swallow me whole and spit me back to the pits. You know it would be easy for me to simply say, "I'm tired of the enemy disrupting my life." But truth be told I am just as accountable for the snares and traps the enemy has put before me.

Time In A Bottle (Drifting...)

Drifting on a boat to nowhere. Learning but, never taking lessons as learned. Will my life find it’s destiny? Find the love that’s meant for me and me alone. Tears cried, love lost. My heart breaks from loneliness. Missing my heart, my love, my life.

Drifting to nowhere, thinking very hard about the choices I’ve made throughout the years. Damn I’ve made some stupid mistakes. When will I ever learn? My mother and grandmother asked me. When will I gain the strength to
