Where Is the Love?

          In my quiet moments of reflection, a troubling realization has taken hold of my heart: we aren’t as kind and loving to each other as we used to be. The warmth that once defined Christian love seems to be fading, and I can’t help but notice how we’ve started to take our faith for granted. Many of us act as though Christianity is a personal possession, something exclusive, as if only we and our families are striving to see God’s face. In doing so, we’ve neglected the very essence of what it means to follow Christ. We’ve become so inward-looking, so concerned with our own needs, that we forget about those who are silently suffering. We pray for our families, our close friends, but what about the stranger who is battling depression? What about the person who is crying out for help, yet finds no one to turn to? In our selfishness, we’ve overlooked the broken-hearted, those who are reaching out in desperation, only to find that no one cares. God isn’t abou...

God's Grace Through a Difficult Pregnancy

  When I found out I was pregnant and the baby was in my hip and my placenta was low-lying, I was devastated. The devil attacked my son twice while he was in my tummy, but he was defeated. I felt pain throughout my pregnancy; I couldn’t sleep in peace. Whether I stood, sat, or walked, the pain was constant. When I visited the clinic, I found out I wasn’t alone; other mothers were going through the same ordeal. But God is always fighting our battles, even when we don’t see it. My son was so active in the belly, but the pain was unbearable. I was scared I wouldn’t make it through labor. So every day, I would pray. That’s how I know for sure God is always on time. I prayed and asked God to let me have this child when my husband was at home so he could take me to the hospital. Indeed, my husband was the one who brought me to the hospital. However, I started feeling pain at church. I didn’t know it was labor pain because I was induced with my first child. Someone at church told me it ...

The Biblical Blueprint: How Husbands and Wives Should Treat Each Other

       In a world where relationships often seem complicated and fragile, the Bible provides a timeless blueprint for how a man should treat his wife and how a wife should treat her husband. These principles, rooted in love, respect, and mutual submission, offer a pathway to a harmonious and fulfilling marriage. Let’s dive into the Biblical teachings that can guide us in our relationships. Husbands, Love Your Wives     The Bible calls husbands to a high standard of love and sacrifice. Ephesians 5:25-28 is clear: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself." This passage emphasizes three key aspects of how a h...
