EMPOWERMENT CORNER!

Many homes today are full of strife, wrath and every other form of vices at the home-front. This is as a result of lack of Wisdom in living and managing the home. The absence or ignoring of the leading of the Holy Spirit in the home exposes the major players to making poor decisions that will be detrimental to the home. Both the man and the woman have a role to play. Below are listed the counsels needed by a wise woman: 1). Never raise your voice for any reason on your husband. Its a sign of disrespect.(Prov 15v1) 2). Don't expose your husband's weaknesses to your family and friends. You are each other's keeper. 3).

By Dan Reiland Posted by Admin Dan: How do you two describe your ministry? Les: You know what a BHAG is, right? A Big Harry Audacious Goal.  Here's ours: To reduce the divorce rate in the church by a third in our lifetime. You know us Dan, we really care about people and marriages. This is our passion! Leslie: We believe it would be one of the greatest social revolutions the church has experienced. Think of the ripple effect it would have on everything from children's and youth ministry to offerings and missions. Les: The tide rises for everything and everybody in the church when marriages are stronger and healthier. Dan: Patti and I have been married for 33 years. I'm curious to know what two marriage experts do for Valentines. Les: Oh, man – you don't want to know. It's one of the least romantic days on our calendar. Leslie: We laugh about it every year.

Here are six types of men that you should avoid in having a friendship or a relationship with: 1. Men Who Don’t Put God First I believe that this one is the most important of all. If a man doesn’t put God first in His life then he’ll likely put you way down in his list of priorities. A man that has Jesus Christ at the center of his life will also likely hold his girlfriend or wife in high regard because men are commanded to love their wife like Christ loved the church and gave his life for her (Eph 5:25). 2. Men Who Are Consumed with Hobbies My wife loves college football and basketball and even the NFL but she isn’t consumed with them. She would rather do things with the family and miss a game than be glued to the TV until the game or games are over. If a man has a compulsion with hobbies, you might end up in second place to whatever it is he is consumed with. Wouldn’t you rather have a man that is consumed with glorifying God first and...

Here are 6 women that Christian men should avoid dating and most certainly, consider for marriage. Follow up to the article ( 6 Men Christian Women Should Avoid ) 1. A Woman Who Doesn’t Believe This is the most important factor of all. Since we are commanded to not be unequally yoked with non-believers, then how much more so should a man not even consider dating someone who doesn’t believe (2 Cor 6:14)? A Christian man should never consider dating an unbeliever, just as no woman should ever think about dating a non-believing man. It’s foolish to think that you can date her and lead her to saving faith in Christ. This could certainly backfire on you. 2. Women Who Don’t Put God First This may be one of the greatest factors for men to consider in not dating a woman. If a woman never puts God first, then she may be putting herself first. If she doesn’t put God first then she’ll likely have you way down on her priority list too. No woma...
