Is It Love or Lust

by: Danielle Barnes

Sometimes we attend church and speak about God’s unconditional love, and not correlate that to romantic relationships. If you grew up not seeing what love and healthy relationships looked like, you may have had problems creating a successful relationship. 

God explains what marriages should look like and details what love looks like. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 states:  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor othe

Love Who?

by: Danielle Barnes

It is easy to hang around and befriend those who share our interests and views. There is nothing wrong with liking those who are similar to us. However, as Christians, we should be a beacon of light for those who are different from us. Those who have different views should see us and feel the love of God that is within us, not feel judged and condemned. If the person is not right with God, God will convict them. As Christians, we forget that Jesus spent most of his time co

"Then they were willing to take Him on board the boat, and immediately the boat reached the [shore of the] land to which they were going." ~ John 6:21 AMP

I was 16 years old, a new driver, and newly saved about a year or so. I was so deeply in-love with Jesus, and passionate about building my relationship with Him. When my parents didn't feel like going to Wednesday night services - our church was approximately 45 minutes away - they would allow me to drive the family mini

The Drip Drop VS The Waterfall

My own personal story of THE DRIP DROP VS. THE WATERFALL (Written December 8, 2016)

I have to admit, I've been a bit frustrated with God. There have been several things that I have been praying about for a few years, and I felt as though I wasn't seeing any movement in the situations in the natural realm. As much as I tried to encourage myself over the years, I would honestly find myself sometimes really upset with God. Well, this week, the Holy Spirit ever so sweetly showe...

Good Morning Beautiful

Many women love the thought of receiving a good morning text from the man they love. It starts their day off right. But did you know that God does that every morning to each of us, both men and women? God wakes you up every morning and tries to speak and build a relationship with you.  He wants you to know that you are loved, even in your darkest hour and nothing will separate you from his love. (Romans 5:8; Romans 8:38-39)

 God wants you to know that you are fearfully and

The Extra Step

This week I battled an upper respiratory infection that was like no other. It literally reminded me of my season of COVID. For 3 nights I endured fevers, and for 3 days I endured a sinus pressure migraine so intense that it made any previous migraines look like babies. Nothing helped! I couldn't think. I couldn't function. Three days felt like an eternity. It felt like torment. I medicated myself over and over and waited for relief but nothing. All I could do was lay in be

How Does God Fit In Your Romantic Relationships

by: Danielle Barnes

03/07/2022

Many times, as Christians we try not to put God or Jesus in the same sentence with romantic relationships. However, the romantic partner we chose should bring us closer to God. Now, I do not mean that we should bring up God every chance in conversation. I am saying that it is imperative, as Christians, that the way we carry ourselves should be an indication to our dating partner that we live for Christ, thereby, them wanting to live that same life.

 

It is possible, in today

How To Hear God’s Voice

by: Danielle Barnes

02/26/2022

0

So many times, we treat God as a genie in a bottle and ask for huge signs and wonders to know when he is speaking. Other times we think there is going to be a booming voice that sounds like thunder or Morgan Freeman. We may want to hear God’s voice when questioning who to date, where to work, or what to say and do in a situation. But there is a simpler way to hear God’s voice, but there is a caveat: You must be in a position to hear from Him. 

A good example is a child outs

Take the Self-Love/Self-Esteem Test

We hear people say they are trying to find themselves or that they lack confidence and identity. I am here to say, that if you know who you are in Christ and what the Word of God says about you, then your identity and purpose becomes clearer and clearer. However, I understand everyone does not have a deep or a basic relationship with God. Nevertheless, you must love yourself and find worth in yourself without validation. Let’s break down some need-to-know terms.

So many people say marriage is hard, and it can be if you are doing the work alone. Marriage is a two-way street and with God in the midst, at times in can appear effortless. But rest assure that it is challenging because it requires you to be mindful and prayerful with 100% effort from both parties.

Nevertheless, I want to make marriage easier for you, therefore, I've gathered tips I have learned over the course of my 11 year marriage. These tips can be applied in other re
