One of the major, early catalysts in the Protestant Reformation was a book by Jan Hus, a Bohemian Christian who preceded Martin Luther by a full century. The book was De Ecclesia (The Church), and one of Hus's most profound points was proclaimed in the title of his fourth chapter: "Christ the Only Head of the Church."

Many people do not believe there is a Creator because for the past 3-4 decades the only thing that has been promoted as 'fact' in schools and textbooks is 'the theory evolution'. Today they do not even refer to it as a theory but a fact. Consequently with this teaching comes the removal of 'absolutes' when it comes to human conduct. 

Once upon a time in the not too distant past, the 10 commandments in Exodus 20 were the moral framework for living and the foundation for the

George Mueller, the great 19th-century British evangelist, prayed in more than $7 million during his lifetime to feed the thousands of orphans in his care. He didn't believe in telling people about his financial needs, yet he always had enough to pay his enormous grocery bill because God supernaturally provided.
But Mueller's faith was stretched in other ways. He prayed regularly over a list of five people he wanted to see converted to faith in Jesus. The first man was saved after five ye

There are three things a person needs to know in order to become a Christian and then live a fulfilling life in Christ.

1) You need to know you are a sinner

The Gospel begins with the bad news that we’re all sinners:

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom 3:23)

There is none righteous, no, not one. (Rom 3:10)

And our sin places us under God’s judgment:

The wages of sin is death… (Rom 6:23)

We often make the mistake of comparing ourselves to other people. When we do that we c

It's not just in the movies. How have we convinced ourselves to bend the rules of intimacy?

Friendships and sex have been around since the beginning of time, but it’s our generation that puts them into the same phrase—and the same bedroom. From high school hallways to movie theater screens, “friends with benefits” is sold to us as a new combination as simple, acceptable and wonderful as mac-and-cheese.  

No one wakes up and decides sex is just sex, or making out is just maki

Whether you're looking to move or contemplating marriage, navigating life doesn't have to be overwhelming.

Some choices present themselves pretty clearly: You find that the masters program you’re considering can be done for free if you’re serving overseas. Everyone says you’re an idiot if you don’t ask her to marry you. The apartment in the neighborhood you’ve had your eye on is an incredible deal. The job opportunity arises and you immediately jump for it without needing any kind of push.

Our family should play a very important part in our lives and the family unit is of God. But as the saying goes familiarly breeds contempt, when we get familiar with something or someone often time we can neglect the person or thing that we are familiar with. Our family could be one of those people we start to neglect.

We could neglect them for our careers or start going out with friends more. Or we can say negative things to them thinking our words won't hurt them 'oh it's

Praying for Your Husband's Day

One of the biggest blessings you can give your husband is to pray for his day.

You might ask, "What's the point, what difference does it make?" It actually makes a lot of difference. Christians daily face a spiritual battle, and the choice is yours whether or not to protect yourself and your husband in prayer.

When you pray for your husband, pray specifically. If the Lord brings a specific issue to your mind during the day, stop and pray about it. Be open to the Spirit's guidance.

Many of the w

Author, Women on the Edge

My heart was convicted as I read in Scripture of a woman who was so desperate for God's healing in her life, she was willing to do anything to just touch Him (Mark 5:24-34).

I had to ask myself, how desperate am I for God's touch on my life? There are times I might be desperate to feel and look younger, to be thinner, to have more in the way of peace and happiness. But how desperate am I to be whole and complete in every way?
