Love and so on

Ephesians 5:21-33 Very discouraged, Hettie wrote me an e-mail: I love my husband very much and I believe he loves me just as much, but he is addicted to pornography and recently I saw on his phone that he had again looked at a website of naked women and women wearing next to nothing. Some […]

Took my punishment

Ephesians 5:1-5 The Bible is very dynamic – nearly 2000 years old and you can still not pin it down 100%. There are so many interpretations, so many different opinions.

More than enough

Ephesians 5:1-5 2Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

Live from love and live love

There was a time in my life when I also wore a WWJD (What would Jesus do) armband. If I remember correctly, I wore it for more than a year. I can’t remember whether it worked or not, but at least I tried. I really wish I could act like Jesus in every situation, but […]

God the Father’s heart

Here is a very concerned mother worrying about her child who was not always going in the right direction. She has so many questions: How does your heart feel if your child goes his own way and is living a life of loose morals? Do you always keep hoping (and praying) that he/she would change […]
