Mankind was created to get to know God, to serve him, and to worship him. God set rules for man to live by here on earth. Man was set up as a spiritual leader, a provider, and protector for the family. God wants men to teach as well as lead by example. God wants every man to have his own wife; and every woman her own husband, be fruitful and their children blessed. How beautiful it is to see a family living by God's design. Children born out of wedlock, are not of God's divine order for his creation. Marriage is honored by God. It's His plan...

I believe we have all been called to gain a deeper understanding of faith in every season we may face. Through Bible study, devotional readings, and conversations with other Christian believers, I have come to understand that we cannot have a breakthrough in our lives without faith; the only way that we can increase our faith is by hearing from God. Hearing from God requires us to be purposeful and consistently set aside time to... Full story
