Christian Living Communication in Marriage Marriage Marriage Series Submission

Submission is a sweet, undeserved gift we can give to our husbands because we have a great love and trust for the Lord.  #submission @mferrell

  Would you think of your submission to your husband as an act of worship to the Lord? To be perfectly honest it's not the first thing that comes to my mind.

Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Contentment Marriage Submission

There are many lessons we can learn from her life, but I want to share just ten today. @mferrell

    Every Christmas season I look forward to reading the account of the birth of Christ in Luke together as a family on Christmas morning. I'm amazed at Mary's faith.  What must have gone through her mind when Gabriel approached her?  How did she process the news that she and Joseph were to raise the Son of God?  What depths of sorrow did she endure while watching her Son die a horrific death on a cross? There are many lessons we can learn from Mary's life, but I want ... continue reading...

Journaling is often viewed as just a way to rememb Journaling is often viewed as just a way to remember or keep track of life's events. Many people who aren't Christians keep a journal.
