The Enemy’s Attack on Our Marriages
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:26 NKJV
What is the one word in the above verse that has triggered Satan’s attack on marriage from the Garden of Eden until now? Dominion.

Why We Must Tear Down the Wall of Unforgiveness
Today, I will expose the subtle deceit of unforgiveness. I don’t know about you, but I struggle with forgiving. The offending person is the bad guy. I am the victim, but the truth is I am being victimized by the enemy.

Grace in Suffering and Serving
How will I learn to live differently than in my past five decades? How will I learn to use braille and a talking computer that I love to hate? How will I share encouraging devotions with people? God’s grace enabled me to do all that and so much more when I lost the majority of my vision and God called me to write.
