Domestic Violence Blog Request

September 11th, 2014

  • Sarah Van Baale Many churches couple a “love your wife” sermon with a “respect your husband” sermon – especially since the “Love and Respect” book became so popular. But even so, if a husband doesn’t love his wife well or a wife doesn’t respect her husband well, it doesn’t excuse domestic violence or abuse.

  • NV Harder Exactly, Sarah. While following Christ’s example of integrity with Him being the head of His bride, the body of Christ of the assembled church, in a Christian household, the godly husband and the godly wife must be properly yoked together in like-hear…See More
