Do Christians Over-Complicate Dating?
Nothing in life seems more confusing than listening to a sample of Christians discuss their dating experiences and I’ve spent a good few years listening to some of the trauma. Ok trauma might be an exaggeration, but the Christian dating scene does seem quite bleak. Type the title into any search bar and you’ll be […]

You clicked on this page (hopefully) because you’re a Christian and probably because you’re dating or looking to date. If you’re a newbie to the dating scene (welcome) you may have hoped to get more intel on the topic before diving in and if you’re a well seasoned veteran, maybe you were curious as to […]

Should You Move Churches If There Isn’t Enough Eye Candy At Your Church?
“If you want a Christian man, maybe try the church.” – Anon The title of the article is problematic for obvious reasons. The notion of uprooting yourself from a church you may (or may not ) be invested in because you’re not attracted to the available pool of men within said church sounds absurd. The […]

No Kissing Before Marriage Too?
“There is nothing necessary about kissing your partner before marriage.” Years ago I read a piece about a husband and wife who had not kissed until after their wedding vows and I remember thinking hard about how awkward that first kiss would have been. I also remember thinking there’s no way I could forfeit sex […]

Christians Are Getting Married Younger Because They Can’t Wait For Sex.
This isn’t a sermon. The statement formed part of the conversation that I recently had with a non-believer. She asked for my opinion on pre-marital sex and when I offered it, the conversation then moved to the sexuality of millennial Christians, young marriages and our sexual urges. She wanted my opinion on Christians getting married […]

There Aren’t Enough Christian Men…
I’m sorry to burst your bubble so early into the article. I’m sorry for not setting the scene before ruining the ending but it has to be said, there aren’t enough Christian men. Granted I haven’t come to this conclusion by way of any scientific experiment. No sample has been taken. No survey has been […]

Don’t Go Wasting Your Proverbs 31 On A Bozo…
The Proverbs 31 woman might be the most referenced woman in the entire Bible . The woman without a name has become the prototype for womanhood in Christ. She is honoured for her noble character, her worth more than rubies, her goodness, her eager hands, her culinary skills and her generosity. She is diligent with […]

Six Things Christians Have Ruined…
The title was fashioned to provoke discussion. This is not to say that the content will not reflect the headline but I thought it best to preface the article before I continued. Neither is it a berating of Christianity but my perspective of (some) Christians. 1. Sex We have ruined sex. For many Christians sex is […]

Christianity & The Great Sexpectations
This post is not for kids. Please proceed with caution. I am not an authority on sex. I thought that would be a great disclaimer given the subject matter as I wouldn’t want the article to mislead anyone into thinking that I was. I’m simply a woman who has dared to think about married life […]

Brothers (In Christ) With No Game….
I interrupt this usual session (my Jesus’ pieces are usually far more Jesus centred) to bring you something quite real.As always this piece has come about as a result of several conversations with various people (mostly women) from Christian backgrounds. Before I go on, I want to say that the love for my Christian brothers […]

Submission Is Not A Curse Word: Submission 101
There’s always something missing from the contemporary submission debate and that is the part where the husband loves the woman the way Christ loves the Church. A blog post on submission has played on my mind for some time now, however my fear was that the content would read like a rant as opposed to an article and […]

Say My Name, Say My Name – Jesus vs. Destiny’s Child
Perhaps you have worked out by now that I am a music enthusiastic, especially when it comes to Hip Hop and RnB, (you may have also worked out other things like my hatred of generalisations, my love for Drake and Kanye West, the tendency to make horrible jokes in my posts to keep the reader […]

Eat, Pray Love.
I think I definitely have an obsession with film titles and perhaps I should speak to my shrink about it on my next visit ( ok I don’t have a shrink but if I did my obsession with film titles and music titles would be the first thing I would want to discuss) but the […]

Salt & Light… Salt & Light
And so it begins; my first “Jesus Piece” ( nothing like the chain Kanye West used to always wear) is here. I remember a while ago when I started blogging and getting feedback from various people, a lot of my Christian friends would ask me “Cristine, when will you ever write something pertaining to Christianity?” .
