Back to Basics: What is Domestic Violence?
by Rebecca Hieronymi

Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I being abused?” or maybe a close family member or friend has raised concerns about how your partner is treating you.

Digging Out of Division
If you read the article last week, you know that I left you in a terrible state. Unfortunately, it is the very same state the Lord found you in when He called you to Himself.

But when you came to faith in Christ, you began to understand that your old way is certainly not the Lord’s way. And so, you began a life-long journey of repentance as you turned from your way of thinking and began walking in the wisdom of God’s Word.
