Faith Shines Through Halloween Darkness

Written by Dr. David K. Ewen from Eternal Truth Bible College An October Worth Considering Faith shines through Halloween darkness when Christians face October with wisdom instead of panic. Some yard displays feel troubling, yet a plastic skeleton does not reveal its owner’s heart. Ephesians 6:12 describes a spiritual struggle, not a fight against the people living next door. When we pass a house covered in ghosts, we can still wave to its family. That choice sets a peaceful... Read more

Machines Cannot Forgive Your Spouse

Last updated on: October 3, 2026 at 7:52 am By Dr. David K. Ewen

0 Comments

Written by Dr. David K. Ewen from Eternal Truth Bible College When answers fall short Machines cannot forgive your spouse, even when they offer useful advice. After an argument about unpaid bills, a computer might suggest a fair budget. That plan can organize money without settling the anger between you. In Ephesians 4:32, Paul connects forgiveness with kindness and the mercy we receive through Christ. A screen cannot make that choice for either spouse. Forgiveness asks something personal from...

Finding Forgiveness Before Love Fades

Last updated on: October 2, 2026 at 7:04 am By Dr. David K. Ewen

0 Comments

Written by Dr. David K. Ewen from Eternal Truth Bible College When hurt settles in Finding forgiveness before love fades begins with noticing what happens after a small hurt. A forgotten anniversary dinner can leave someone eating alone beside two plates. The deeper ache may come from feeling unimportant, not missing a meal. We lose the way of forgiveness when guarding our hurt matters more than understanding each other. Ephesians 4:32 connects forgiveness with kindness and the mercy we receive... Read more

Pentecost Ignited Forgiveness in Marriage

Last updated on: August 28, 2026 at 11:44 pm By Dr. David K. Ewen

0 Comments

Written by Dr. David K. Ewen from Eternal Truth Bible College When The Room Feels Tense Pentecost ignited forgiveness in marriage. At Pentecost, frightened disciples found courage and spoke as the Spirit led them. In Acts 2:4, the Spirit fills ordinary people and changes what comes from their mouths. A tense kitchen argument can change that way too. Two spouses pause beside a cold dinner, pray, and try gentler words. Change Starts Within Marriage has a way of uncovering habits... Read more

Grace, Forgiveness and Eternal Hope

Written by Dr. David K. Ewen from Eternal Truth Bible College Heaven Cannot Be Earned Grace, forgiveness and eternal hope explores how salvation and marriage belong together without becoming the same thing. Ephesians 2:8-9 says grace saves us through faith, not good behavior. Forgiving a spouse matters, but it doesn’t buy anyone a place in heaven. Picture a wife choosing calm words after her husband forgets their anniversary. What Pentecost Changed At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came to live within... Read more

Written by Dr. David K. Ewen from Eternal Truth Bible College Begin With Honest Words Prayer rhythm fuels peaceful purpose. A steady practice starts with plain truth, not polished words. Psalm 62:8 welcomes honest prayer because God is a safe place for troubled hearts. Before checking your phone, sit on the bed and tell Him what weighs on you. Find Your Best Time Morning prayer suits some homes, while evening works better in others. Jesus chose a quiet morning in... Read more

Written by Dr. David K. Ewen from Eternal Truth Bible College When Hurt Follows You Forgiving your spouse seems impossible. One cruel breakfast comment can follow you into the car and sit beside you all day. That ache matters. Psalm 34:18 pictures the Lord near broken hearts, so you can face your pain honestly. Start by naming what happened instead of pretending everything feels fine. Find the Deeper Hurt Anger often guards a quieter wound. Your spouse may forget your... Read more

Forgiveness Welcomes Heavenly Peace

Last updated on: August 5, 2026 at 8:17 am By Dr. David K. Ewen

0 Comments

By Dr. David K. Ewen Start With Today Choosing forgiveness welcomes heavenly peace begins with a plain choice to stop feeding the injury. That doesn’t mean calling the hurt small or acting as though trust never broke. In Ephesians 4:32, forgiveness grows from the mercy believers have already received in Christ. Maybe your spouse made a cutting remark before work and missed your sudden silence. You can carry that sentence all evening, or decide it won’t control the... Read more

When Ambition Sounds Like God

Last updated on: August 5, 2026 at 6:01 am By Dr. David K. Ewen

0 Comments

By Dr. David K. Ewen Start With Honest Desire When ambition sounds like God, even sincere Christians can have trouble telling what is driving them. Excitement, pride, faith, and fear can all show up together. James 3:17 describes godly wisdom as pure, peaceful, gentle, and willing to yield. Those qualities give us something solid to examine. Picture a promotion that offers influence but takes nearly every evening from your family. Before saying yes, sit quietly with what attracts you... Read more

Begin With God Prayer strengthens your marriage daily. It welcomes Christ into small choices before frustration hardens into distance. Ecclesiastes 4:12 shows that a threefold cord resists breaking, so spouses need God between them. Before discussing a late bill, a couple can pause and ask for calm words. Pray Before Reacting Sharp words often arrive before careful thought. James 1:19 calls believers to listen quickly and speak slowly, which changes tense conversations. When your spouse forgets an errand, breathe and... Read more
