Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” -Acts 4:11-12, NIV How is Jesus identified by the Apostle Peter on Pentecost? He is The Rejected One. This … Continue reading “Rejected-Ones Tribe”
A comment on social media
“I should have divorced him long ago,” writes Cheater. I was scrolling through my feed the other day, and I came across a comment by an admitted Cheater. She was casting herself as the victim in the comment. The post by a ministry talking about people who stayed stuck in an abusive marriage. What I … Continue reading “A comment on social media”
A song, a prayer, a reminder!
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God… -I John 3:1, KJV When I find myself stressed, I find I need to be reminded of my place in God’s family. That worry is a symptom of my disconnect from God’s love. One … Continue reading “A song, a prayer, a reminder!”
Cheater-Speak: “He has nothing to do with our marriage problems.”
“He has nothing to do with our marriage problems. You know that!” -Caught Cheater If your cheater is responding with some version of this, your marriage is over.

Sometimes you just need to relax!
I remember sometimes I was just too tired to deal with the situation. In those times, I would put on some encouraging worship music, draw a bath, and rest in the warm water. It was a refreshing time. Sometimes we need just that. A break. I don’t know what it is for you; however, I … Continue reading “Sometimes you just need to relax!”
Abusive use of God’s name!
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth … Continue reading “Abusive use of God’s name!”
Why does it seem Jesus gives us the power to NOT forgive?!

Calling for forgiveness or denial?
“For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” – John 3:20, NKJV Silence about infidelity is the same thing as avoiding the light. It says the person does not what his or her wicked deeds exposed. They have not truly embraced repentance and … Continue reading “Calling for forgiveness or denial?”
Truth. Ugly, but truth.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.” -John 4:17b-18a, NIV What I find fascinating about this exchange is how the woman does not respond as if she was condemned. Jesus spoke a … Continue reading “Truth. Ugly, but truth.”
Yet she still claims to be a Christian.
Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. I Corinthians 7:15, NASB When a partner is abusive and leaves or forces a faithful partner to separate, is a divorce an option for the abused partner … Continue reading “Yet she still claims to be a Christian.”
