Hero: a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. Well, in this case it’s a woman. Robin Carter is a wife, Sunday School teacher, Church leader, and teacher for Palmetto State E-cademy. She is seemingly average, but things are not always as they seem. If you saw Robin [...]

I am working through the book of Esther so these stories are fresh on my mind and I’m writing much on these topics. This is an excerpt from what I’m working on right now. More than a history lesson God’s Word should be a life lesson. Here is some of the life lesson I’ve been contemplating from Esther 1.

This story of Vashti and Ahasuerus’ sin is not an example of why women should always submit to their husbands. It is not an example of how men should treat their wives. It is an example of a worldly relationship. As far as we know, Vashti–like her husband–does not know God. This interaction between Vashti and Ahasuerus should not be seen as example of why women should submit to their spouse. It is an example of a humanistic union and shows our depraved nature without Christ’s involvement in our families. It is an example of a marriage where each party is serving self, and that is not God’s example. Submission to God and each other is not part of the picture here. Whether we are married or not; the purpose of our relationships should be serving the others, not serving ourselves.

When people ask me how I choose what topics to study, the answer is always “I write about what I struggle with”, and that’s the truth. Yes, I am writing about patience even though I snapped at my mother and my husband this morning, Ugh. My husband often points out my impatience. I cannot disagree [...]

When Christ was on earth He was asked about the commandments. He summed up what we should be doing on Earth by commanding us to Love God and to Love our neighbors as ourselves. It is easy to say I love you to my family or friends. It’s harder to love our enemies but I [...]

My kids and I have been sick for a couple of weeks so I won’t be posting anything new this week, so I thought I would re-post an article from last year. From the Biblical stigma of the “barren” wife to the modern, more polite terminology of “infertility”, issues with childbearing have affected women for [...]

Just this week I was told of a friend who is going through a divorce. Her husband has abandoned her. This is not the first time this has happened to a friend, and unfortunately it won’t be the last. I’ve been trying to think of a Biblical example of an abandoned woman who the Lord [...]
