Fully Surrendered

Surrender is generally seen as a bad thing, giving up or quitting even more so. We are taught to stick with it, see it through, tough it out, or else. It is seen as weakness. Even the idea of surrendering to God is taboo. We need to be our own person, controlled by no one, dependent on no one. How do we reconcile that with being called to submit and even surrender to God?

Does Your Faith Transform?

After this talk about temptation, sin and confession, some might ask if all that is necessary after salvation. What role does that play in faith? If I am already forgiven, and can’t be saved by what I do, does it matter what I do? Isn’t faith enough so that I don’t have to worry about the rest?

Don't Be His Mom

What I've Learned in Marriage 13--I have seen the adage that “a woman doesn’t need kids because she has a husband” and it definitely seems true in some cases, but I don’t think that should be our attitude. Whether your husband acts like a child or not, it is not your job to be his mom. He already has one and it’s not you.
