Free Yourself

I was watching #FBI and OA felt obligated to his friend Clay for saving his life years before. It didn’t matter that Clay was putting his life and job in jeopardy, OA risked it all. In the end, this same friend held a gun to him.

Maggie told him, “Your loyalty is your blind spot.” Meaning, your sight is obstructed from seeing properly. Some of you may not have a gun pointed at you, but you are holding on to relationships because of guilt dressed like loyalty and it’s costing you … YOU! It’s preventing you from seeing clearly.

Yes, you made a promise on their deathbed, you feel obligated because they were there or you believe you owe them for what they did. But it’s blinding you from seeing reality. The reality is, they’ll keep using you because they know they can.

Here’s a question for you. Do you keep paying something that has a $0 balance?

Then why are you consistently paying for something that never should have had a cost to it, anyway?

Even Bible says in Deuteronomy 15:1, “At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts.”

Baby, #FREEYOURSELF

5 Couples | 5 Stories

Do you realize there’s not an OR in between the vows, but an AND? Here’s why. The word OR signifies having an alternative whereas AND means either or both. Therefore, when you stand to take vows with the spouse of your choosing, and you say and, you’re signifying agreement to the before and after. Therefore, you must understand what your vows mean.

There is no standard set of wedding vows. A man and woman can choose their vows, tailored to them, their beliefs, and their relationship. However, you MUST know what you’re vowing to. In this mini-series, we explore traditional wedding vows from a fictional and Christian standpoint because I’ve come to understand, that most times we don’t.

Check them out. They’re all stand-alone novels.

It’s #GivingTuesday

Yes, I also know it’s the holidays. How-b-ever … my Grams always said, “You don’t know what people will do unless you ask.” Now, I’m not pinning a scripture or brow-beating you. Instead, on this Tuesday, I’ll say this. If you feel led to give to Temple Church, here are some ways to do so.

  1. You can sow into our ministry. https://thetemplechurch.net/ways-to-give/

OR/AND

  1. You can become a sponsor for our One Year Celebration. https://thetemplechurch.net/were-turning-one/

No amount is too small because we appreciate it all! We also thank you in advance! 💚

Forsaking All Others

That’s what we vow, but could you still be submissive to your husband after he betrayed your trust?

Forsaking All Others … NOW AVAILABLE!

Raven never had any reason to doubt her husband, Russell. He had always been a man of his word.

But lately, things have changed.

He insists he’s not cheating, but then he calls her name—Peah. Peah is his weakness and the one he turns to. She is the one he lies to protect, the one who truly holds his heart. And Raven is tired of fighting.

In “Forsaking All Others,” will Raven and Russell’s marriage survive when the vows they made before God, family, and friends no longer seem to carry the weight they once did?
