Accountability is Fundamental
True! Accountability is fundamental to being an authentic Christian. According to the Reverend Ken Weliever: Even those identified as spiritual heroes in the Bible were accountable for their missteps and mistakes. Abraham. Jacob. Moses. Joshua. David. Solomon.

Mutual Submission or Me First?
Submission to the head of the house in a dysfunctional relationship is where many people found themselves in the past. The Father was the Head of the House and the Mother and Children were in his hands. He had the authority and sadly, in far too many families his word ended all discussion. This dysfunctionalContinue reading “Mutual Submission or Me First?”
