Many people have married the wrong person because their passion blinded them. They were kept from really ever knowing the other person, and they made a life-long mistake. Remember, the Inventor always knows best, and the Inventor of sex knows best: two people in a lifetime knowing experience. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6700 2012-01-06T10:27:38-05:00 To paraphrase the 1990's election slogan (in response to the unspoken question "What's the priority?"), we might respond to "What's the key to effective evangelism?" with the answer: "It's the relationships, silly." Most lasting conversions are the result of an ongoing relationship with one or more believers. http://truewoman.com/?id=1646 2011-04-15T10:07:08-05:00 Doesn’t it seem that whenever you make a commitment to follow the Lord more faithfully, that commitment is tested? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/intimate-bonding-6271 2011-01-24T09:25:56-05:00 Have you played with God's bonding gift of sex? Well, confess that to Him. Let Him cleanse you as 1 John 1:9 promises He will, that "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us all our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Make it right. Reserve it for one relationship, and then use it unselfishly. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/i-ll-watch-your-back-6262 2011-01-11T11:36:45-05:00 Love always protects. Don't be one of those attackers in the underbrush. Commit yourself to the people in your world as a loving protector, and be remembered as the one who lived out love with this commitment, "I'll watch your back." http://truewoman.com/?id=1253 2010-09-15T15:11:32-05:00 I was feeling a little under the weather the other day, so my sweet husband decided to take my boys out for breakfast to give me a break. When the hostess asked how many to seat and my husband replied “just the three of us,” she bent in close and whispered, “Did momma leave?” http://truewoman.com/?id=1249 2010-09-15T15:09:17-05:00 A lack of commitment is normal in our society. It's like it’s even expected. Think of how often you hear “no commitment necessary.” Whether it’s a gym membership or an email subscription service, I know that I usually want to know what the terms are for getting out of what I have just signed up for! http://truewoman.com/?id=1136 2010-09-08T11:36:23-05:00 Why should you say “I do” to changing your name when you get married? http://truewoman.com/?id=1138 2010-09-08T11:32:39-05:00 When my husband and I were married over 30 years ago, I didn't know what I didn't know about marriage, men, or relationships. I knew that I loved Bob and that I wanted to be with him until “death do us part,” and I thought that was enough. http://litmin.org/dare.php?row=235&date=2010-08-23 2010-08-23T16:40:35-05:00 These inspiring and challenging devotionals are biblical insights from Ed Powell's 60 years of experiencing God’s grace, sufficiency, and faithfulness under all kinds of life circumstances. 366 devos.
