The Love Dare: One Wife’s Journey


I am about embark on a blogging adventure of journaling for 40 days on my journey through the popular devotional, “The Love Dare” by Alex and Stephen Kendrick. For any of you who have seen the movie “Fireproof” starring Kirk Cameron, you have heard of this book as it was an integral part of the plot of this story about a firefighter, his wife and the restoration of their failing marriage relationship. But even if you haven’t seen the film, this is a wonderful devotional for a husband or a wife. Even if your marriage relationship is a happy one where you and your spouse are already Christians (like my 22-year old relationship with my husband), this is still a wonderful devotional.

I expect that everyone’s journey through “The Love Dare” will be unique since each of us is one-of-a-kind. We are at different points in our walk with the Lord, so He will use the same passage of scripture and the same devotional writing to teach each of us something slightly different. In fact, the journey that I’m going to share with you over the next 40 days actually took place when I first read “The Love Dare” about 10 months ago. But I am fully expecting the Lord to teach me something brand new this time around, which I plan to share with you as well. I would be honored if you’d join me on this challenging expedition and leave your own comments on my posts about your own voyage through “The Love Dare”.

Tomorrow, I begin my story…

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...

Armor of God – Week Five – The Shield of Faith

I must admit that this listening sheet has notes written in every corner and margin.   I was starving for a lesson of faith, apparently.   This is some of what I learned from Video #5: ·          Faith is acting like God is telling the truth. ·          Active faith is a shield. ·          Faith is not foolishness.   It may look like it to the world, though. ·          Whatever God has called me to, He will carry me through. ·          God’s call will sound irrational because His thoughts are not ours. ·          When the dots don’t connect, but we do His bidding anyway, that’s faith! ·          God is sustaining universes not yet discovered! ·     ...
