How You Can Show A True Spirit Of Love On Valentine’s Day

Last updated on: January 30, 2024 at 2:04 pm   By Christy Lee

The Real Gift Of Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day is special, not just because we receive flowers and gifts, but because it is a reminder that once upon a time it was illegal for Christians to be wed under the Roman Empire rule.

The Bible’s Most Encouraging Words

Last updated on: January 21, 2024 at 1:08 pm   By Christy Lee

My favorite scripture in the Bible? I have often been misunderstood throughout my life by my friends and family members. At one point I was labeled the ‘misfit’ or ‘rebel’ of the family because I did not conform to the normal societal pressures that come with being a Southern black Baptist woman. I am not submissive, nor meek.  I do not live to only serve God and my family. Being the youngest of 6 children had its pressures. I am... Read more
