Intersection of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
by Teresia Smith
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we want to talk about the intersection of sexual assault and domestic violence. The APA Task Force on Violence and the Family defined domestic violence as “ a pattern of abusive behaviors including a wide range of physical, sexual, and psychological maltreatment used by one person in an intimate relationship against another to gain power unfairly or maintain that person’s misuse of power, control, and authority. It can either result or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, psychological harm, mal-development, or even death.”

It is hard to accept that the person you love and trust most in the world would manipulate you, control, and harm you over and over again. Recognizing abusive tactics and accepting it’s happening are necessary to ending the abuse however. Generally, there are 5 main types of abuse and they often overlap and meld together.

The Wonder of Marriage
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
I had the honor of marrying a young couple this past weekend. I have known the young man since he was a small child. The young lady I have only known for a couple of years. The two of them could not be more different. Their personalities are different. Their perspectives on particular issues are different. The way each of them was raised is different. Their church backgrounds are different. Even the countries from which they came from are different. In fact, the couple only shares two things in common that I know of – their love for each other and more recently their faith in our Lord.
