THE FATHER OF THE BRIDE (Caleb And Achsah2)

Ask the average Christian single lady, “What type of man do you desire?” and she will most probably reply, “A Boaz” or “I am praying for my Boaz.”

That’s very good, but who you need might not be a Boaz.

You might need an Othniel…

CALEB AND ACHSAH 1 (The Father Series)

It’s interesting how the Bible hides precious gems in the middle of seemingly mundane verses. Remember how the powerful story of Jabez was sandwiched between ‘boring’ genealogy?
Exactly.

The beautiful story of Caleb and his daughter, Achsah, is another treasure hidden between division of land…

Sisters, you are powerful.

(6)A Good Man Has Self-Control
Except you close your eyes and imagine certain stories in the Bible, you will not fully appreciate the situation. Let’s imagine this scenario:

HOW TO KNOW A GOOD MAN(1) (Ladies Only Series)

I love the Bible for two reasons:

(1) It Is Very Relevant
More and more people are realizing that – from money to marriage to business to sex to raising children to the workplace – the Bible really gives solid advice that is very relevant in our present world.

(2) It Is Very Real
Humans have a tendency to idolize or demonize people – painting those they love as complete saints or angels, and blackening those they dislike as total devils.

THE MAKING OF EVE(2) (Ladies Only Series)

(continued from last post)
Now, the rib was straightened and stretched, but it was too thin. Too narrow – compared to the man. So, what did God do next?

(3) He EXPANDED her…

THE MAKING OF EVE(1) (Ladies Only Series)

So, I got a new Bible at the beginning of the year.

I had heard someone talk about how he started every year with a new Bible, and decided to try it – but I was too much in love with my eight-year-old one, so I kept postponing it.
