The Temple of God
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

The most enjoyable season of life for my wife and I was those years we had our children at home. Older folks would often tell me to enjoy it because it goes by so quickly. Boy, that was an understatement. It certainly seems like it went by in a flash. I miss coming home from work to what was once my family of five. My wife and I still enjoy just the two of us. Road trips and great restaurants are plenty now. But we both willingly confess that the days behind us are our favorite, so far.

What is Reactive Abuse?
by Teresia Smith

Despite what its name suggests, reactive abuse is actually a form of self-defense that some people take in response to ongoing harm in an abusive relationship. Reactive abuse describes situations where a person who has experienced continued abusive behavior reacts aggressively towards their abuser. The abuser deliberately provokes their partner, pushing them to react in anger or frustration. The abusive partner often manipulates this reaction to shift blame and create a false narrative of “mutual abuse”. However, the victim’s behavior is actually self-defense in response to ongoing harm, and should not be equated with abusive behavior.
