Why Your Hubby No Longer Hurries HomeBy Terri Broome Remember how it was when you dated? You couldn’t wait to see each other. You made sure your makeup was on and your legs were shaved. You wanted to be beautiful for the one who made your heart pound. You gave him compliments. You couldn’t keep your hands off of each other. You made him feel like he was the most important man in the world;

Faith Is...By Terri Broome Someone told me through tears that their son said he didn’t believe in God. He is a grown man now, but what sent him to atheism was the fact he begged God to not let his mom and dad split up when he was a boy. He had truly believed God was able and willing to fix his family but after all his tears and prayers, they went their separate ways

Can We Really Love Like Jesus?By Terri Broome Paul had a little bit of a death wish. The poster child for robust Christianity said something very strange but since it made it into scripture, it deserves a look. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with

Pretense-The Root of Our MiseryBy Terri Broome I have always maintained that one of the reasons Jesus enjoyed perfect sanity and peace (besides the fact He was the Son of God) was because He always told the truth. Think about it. He walked through every day without pretense, always saying exactly what He wanted to say. There were no hidden motives in Jesus and not an ounce of deceit. “He committed no sin, and no

The Letter You Wish Everyone You Love Would ReadBy Terri Broome I had an older lady (who was very dear to me and very ill) say to me through tears, “The one thing I fear most is that my son and his family will go to hell.” In her older years, she started to read her Bible and listen to preachers who spoke truth. She was one of the most moral people I had ever

Persecution-How Christ Makes His Bride BeautifulBy Terri Broome I love to read. My favorite books are of people who know and love Christ; preferably from a prison cell or in a country where they are under persecution. Those people live a life of true freedom. They have the life I long for. To meet together in those countries can bring beatings, jail, rape, or death. Yet, they meet. They sing. They love. They aren’t fighting

Temptation - An Unlikely Path to VictoryBy Terri Broome Think back to childhood. What did you do when something scary came toward you, whether it be a growling dog or a stranger? Did you take your stand and prepare to fight or did you run into your mother’s arms for safety and bury your head in her shoulder. You didn’t fight; you didn’t even look at what scared you. You let your mom take care

"Save Me From Trying to be Profound"By Terri Broome “I remember a McDonald’s commercial where a little boy was sitting with his dad. He had a pencil in his hand and was filling out a little card. He looked up and said, “Dad, what’s sex?” I remember a McDonald’s commercial where a little boy was sitting with his dad. He had a pencil in his hand and was filling out a little card. He looked

"We Have Everything We Need...Today"By Terri Broome When my children were small, each day held endless possibilities. They woke up and came into the living room as I was reading my Bible. They knew I would be in the same place each morning. I would see their sweet faces and always let them know how happy I was to get to spend another day with them. God helped me understand that this window of opportunity

Socialism: Proof of our OriginBy Terri Broome “No, this is not a political rant. This is a simple “aha” moment I had and would like to share.” No, this is not a political rant. This is a simple “aha” moment I had and would like to share.  Socialism, in theory, is paradise. The government controls basically everything, people don’t own private property, and there are no needy people. It sounds like utopia. “Socialism has never

"The Danger of Being Alone"By Terri Broome The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”  Genesis 2:18 God created the entire world in a few days and scripture says “and God saw that it was good” over and over again. The first recorded time in the history of the world God said, “It is not good,” was when man was alone

"What Makes God Laugh"By Terri Broome I woke up at 4:00am with “what makes God laugh” on my mind. I can’t say for sure it was God but it spoke to me in such a way I wanted to share. I was barely awake and as clear as day, I thought about all the stuff we are upset about and how it makes God laugh to think that evil will win in the end. God
