Health and spiritual wellness is essential for us to achieve and enjoy wholeness in our lives. We are comprised of 3 parts--spirit, mind, and body. A healthy balance of all three is necessary for the successful completion of a journey to personal health and spiritual wellness.

Overall wellness equals wholeness. Generally when we speak of wellness we're referring to a healthy balance of spirit, mind, and body. As a result of achieving this healthy balance, we are rewarded with a feeling of ov

You are unique, one of a kind, really you are! What happens when you look to others to find out how to act or even what to do? Disappointment and frustrated. We were not made to copy other people's lives. God created each one of us different, with different talents, abilities, and gifts. You may admire someone else's gifts, but if you try and copy what they are doing you will end up very frustrated. We can never do exactly what someone else does. If we look to another person

Creating a Biblical Marriage

by Jacquelyn Horne

 

"And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2:23-24 (KJV)

This is one of the most powerful scriptures concerning marriage, but most of us don't read any depth into it. We skim over it, agree with it and move on without really "getting" it.

Most of us move into a marria

Casting the Devil From Our Lives

It was around 11:00 PM. This was back during the time when I lived with my grandmother and Debbie was just a dream of mine. I had mentioned before the incident in which I had been awakened by a heavy weight laying on top of me. This was the same type of feeling only it wasn't a weight and I was wide awake, reading in my room. The room was filled with the presence of evil though I could see nothing. I knew that an evil spirit had entered my bedroom. The temptation to be afraid wa

Jesus Christ called, and now that we're Believers are we trying to install a relationship with Him but don't feel we're making progress? If so, maybe it's because our basic relationship with Him is already there, and we're trying to institute something He's already established. A relationship with Jesus Christ is foundational for Believers, but it doesn't emanate from us; it began with an empty tomb.

The price for sin is death, but, in our place, a sinless Jesus paid that debt w

If a person is rich, gifted, talented, educated, privileged, clever, successful, in a high position, artistic and even good looking; whatever the case may be, that person should not lose touch with his or her human frailty. (Gal.6:1)

Ultimately the glory of all these attributes should be in the humility of those that possess them; 1 We should not trust in them. They are like paper Mache dolls that fall apart when handled. All these attributes, gifts and talents are like candy flo

Do you suffer from feelings of inferiority and insecurity? A lack of self-esteem can prevent you from living a fulfilling life and accomplishing your God-given destiny. Fear is at the root of low self-esteem. It is a tool used by the devil to stop you from being effective as a Christian and it manifests as depression, confusion, indecisiveness and lack of faith. Low self-esteem comes as a result of focusing on the wrong thing. If you choose to focus on negative circumstances-t

Why We Suffer?

Use suffering to build your character. Don't resent it or let it tear you down. When we suffer, if we faithfully represent Christ, our message and example affect others for good. Our inner attitudes do not have to reflect our outward circumstances. It is easy to get discouraged about unpleasant circumstances or to take unimportant events to seriously. Some people think that troubles are always caused by sin or lack in faith, trails may be a part of God's plan for believers. Ex

I want to let you know you are doing a great job fathers of the this great nation and worldwide, but there is more to be accomplished with our time here. We must beat the drum for Championship Fathering! As you know God has called us fathers to do more than stand on the sidelines and watch our families fall apart and fail. It truly is time for all us fathers to plant our feet in the ground and make a stand to guide the physical, mental, and spiritual destiny of our families. S

As Christians we must have a foundation of sound doctrine to build a stable Christian life. A good sounding doctrine may not always be a right doctrine; we must check the spirit to see whether it's from man or God. And we must determine if what we are being taught lines up with scripture. 

1 Timothy 6:3 (NKJV) 
"If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness"

We live in a society where worth and value is measured by our possessions, position, and power. So many women struggle against the strain of trying to keep up and compare themselves to other women who seem to have it all. As women, we feel we are not worthy and valuable when what we do would be looked-down by most of society, hence the all too familiar game of comparison and feelings of being unworthy crouch upon us.

Especially for women, we can struggle as we try and find our

There are myriads of problems confronting man. One thing is that humanity will always want solutions to those problems. Not only this, man has his own ways of solving problems according to the wisdom God gave him. However, man's ways are always different from God's ways and His ways are always better. His solutions are morin superior. 

It is worthy of note that human problems are not caused by any other but they are self.inflicted. Man authors his problems. 

For example, in th

Several years ago I read an article on bullying in the workplace which asked how the workplace had become such a war zone. Most of us have had to deal with difficult bosses and co-workers at some stage of our lives, but I was astonished to learn that the degree of aggro some people face leads to clinical depression and sometimes, suicide.

Bullying is a term we think of in relation to school kids, not adults. Sadly, bullying in the workplace is present in Australian society

Success in life is a life-long adventure, as no one actually graduates from the school of success. We all have equal opportunities to succeed in life, but for you to have good success, one that is true and lasting; it must be rooted in God and His Word. It is God who gives success and the grace to enjoy it as well. That is why a truly successful person is not only successful in the works of his hands, but also in his family, health, mentality, etc., and so a discovery of what tru

Learning to Love Like Jesus

How I wanted to love like Jesus, I just had been through so many hurts throughout my life that it made it difficult. I had studied on spiritual warfare, healing, and my identity in Christ, but I had not studied anything about love. I began to realize that I would never have peace until I learned how to love. I knew I did not have the ability to love, but I did believe that God could love through me. 

How do we learn to love like Jesus? By spending time with Him. We have to know

"But I want you to be without care. 
He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord- how he may please the Lord. 
But he who is married cares about the things of the world- how he may please his wife." 1 Corinthians 7:32-33

A common desire of every female, irrespective of her age, is to have a "caring husband". This is good and worthy of being desired. Any responsible married man must be caring. Any man who is not ready to do this is not prepared to be married.
