A Match Made in Heaven or Online?

Have you found your perfect match? No? Perhaps you are hoping that God will provide that mate at your church’s singles group or at a Christian dating Internet site such as ChristianMingle.com. If that’s the case, don’t let the Christian part of the “mingle” fool you. While God might use a dating site to provide that mate, Satan might use it to provide a nut case. Online dating made its debut in 1995, when web sites such as Friendfinder.com and Match.com, the very first online dating avenues, became the pioneer of more than 1000 web sites available online at present.

Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?

Men, does this question strike fear in your hearts? It is the title question raised by Stephen James and David Thomas in their book subtitled “A Man’s Guide to the Loaded Questions Women Ask.” Other no-win questions they teach you to answer are: • “Do you notice anything different about the house?” • “Do you think that woman is pretty?” • “Am I like my mother?” • “Are you as happy as I am?” • “Is there anything you don’t like about me?” While her girlfriends may be “allowed” to answer these questions logically or honestly, you cannot. Your wife […]

G-rated Romance and Relationships in an R-rated World

We live in a sexually saturated society. There is no secret to Victoria. There is nothing subtle about Miley Cyrus. And the sanctity of marriage is no longer sanctified. Parents, your children need to have a God Rating when it comes to romance and relationships. The world’s R-rated messages and images bombard our children. It’s in direct conflict with God. Parents having “the talk” can feel like jumping off a cliff without a parachute. So, most parents put it off too long or avoid it all together. As a preteen, I was given a book and instructed to “ask questions […]

Adventures in Singlehood

As we exit the Christmas season of parties and family gatherings and enter the Valentine’s Day season of love and romance, many of us have wondered where we fit in. Some of us feel an emptiness, a chasm in our hearts that we believe should be filled by a spouse. While some love the freedom of being single, others feel lonely and even angry at God that he has left them alone. Others, search the Bible for solace in Paul’s point that it is better to be single than married (1 Corinthians 7: 8-9). Like most Americans, single or married, […]

Love is Not Blind

  I remember the first time I knew that I loved the woman that would be my future wife. I remember the day she told me that she was pregnant for the first time. I remember holding my son just seconds after he took his first breath. I remember this one moment in time when my two little girls hugged me on Easter morning, in their matching dresses, and mommy snapped a photo. I remember all these and many more, through love’s eyes. Relationship experts speak of our ability to view any particular situation differently and because of this ability […]

Set Small Achievable Goals for good Health

Here we go again. It’s New Years Day and once again we are setting ourselves up for failure. Telling ourselves we will lose ten pounds by the end of the month, promising to go to the gym five days a week, probably even hiring a trainer to get a jump start. But, Jodi Krumholz, director of nutrition at the Renfrew Center, an eating disorder treatment facility in Pompano Beach, suggests that to really make a difference this year, it’s all about making small achievable changes. “There is a tremendous amount of disordered eating in the general population,” explained Krumholz. “Often […]

Allen West: Do Something Outside Your Comfort Zone

Having served in the U.S. Congress and as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army, Allen West does not shrink back from a fight.  “We live in the greatest nation on the earth, and we need to remember how great this nation is,” he said. Addressing more than 150 business leaders during a Christian Business Men’s Connection luncheon on December 18, West challenged the audience to “listen for that small voice that is asking you to do something outside your comfort zone, and remember Ephesians 10 that calls you to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty […]

A Chasing After The Wind?

“The enemy is within the gates,” writes Chuck Colson in Against the Night. “I believe that we do face a crisis in Western culture, and that it presents the greatest threat to civilization since the barbarians invaded Rome,” he says, and a quick read of the news at large may show that he is right. Just two months ago Facebook, Apple and Google were in the news, not for pushing another product, but a plan — one that some people view as “sinister,” if not “deeply disturbing.” They are offering to pay for female employees to freeze their eggs. Yes, […]

Raising Kids in an Upside Down World

Their world is flipped and seems normal until a pirate figures it out.

It’s a daunting task helping our children […]
