Cosmopolitan investigates how relationship violence puts us all at risk…" This is the introduction of an article appearing in the May 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine (on shelves April 9, 2013).  Are you surprised "Cosmo" is taking on this issue?  To be honest...I was.  But then I was hopeful.  Hopeful because they have a huge reading audience of young women...young women who are not going to…

  • Success? Or the Economy? A CAEPV Member Weighs In

    "NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS."We are all familiar with this saying, and CAEPV is incredibly fortunate to work with companies on the forefront of dealing with domestic violence as a workplace issue.  Recently I had a conversation with one of our CAEPV members about an interesting phenomenon they had noted – a decrease in reporting of domestic violence at their company.  While one might consider this “success,”  they had another take on the issue.  They   were concerned that in this economy, victims of domestic violence may not report because they thought…

    Emotional Abuse and Your Faith

  • Brotherhood of Mega Pastors says there is no Culpability on their part!

    25 May 2013 | 7:19 am
    Claims presented in a civil lawsuit seeking financial compensation are beyond the ability of the public to render judgment. Often, such claims are even beyond the ability of a court to deliberate. To comment on such claims is irresponsible, since no one apart from the court and the parties directly involved has any ability to evaluate the claims presented. If the filing of civil litigation against a Christian ministry or leader is in itself reason for separation and a rush to judgment, no ministry or minister is safe from destruction at any time. Furthermore, the effort to try such a case in…

  • John Piper: Women teaching Men

    4 May 2013 | 5:57 pm
    I think John Piper has now ‘confused’ the biblical manhood crowd.  I’m serious.   No doubt we have all heard the speeches about Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood.  The lists of do’s and don’ts are constantly being added.  Some of them are indeed quite odd.  This one can be added to the oddities list.   Before I start I have to wonder if John Piper actually plans what he wants to say, or the message he wants to get across to people.  I honestly don’t think he does on this type of platform.    I think of all the strange things…

  • Men are Visual. Women are Vessels

    26 Apr 2013 | 8:01 am
    I don’t know about most, but I can’t stand messages that come across about how men are so weak minded, and sex craved.  To me one of the lessons we hear preached from time to time tends to encourage this aspect, and they basically are enabling lust to happen.  Lust to me is the same thing as coveting.  There is a huge difference between admiring a pretty person, and allowing your mind to imagine how they would be in bed.  Today it seems they tend to blur those things, and fantasy turns into the norm.  That isn’t what the bible says at all.  We also tend to…

  • Church Leaders that Hide the Truth are Cowards! Can we admit that?

    10 Mar 2013 | 3:45 pm
    We all know that churches – or shall we say more directly HUMANS make mistakes.  It happens, because we all have screwed up royally at times.  Church leadership isn’t immune.  For me its how they handle their mistakes that show their fruit.    Then you have times in which tragedy hits, and if they make mistakes hiding the tragedy instead of facing it?  It’s hard to wrap you head around WHY they refuse to face the truth.  The more they bounce around?  The more trust they break along the way.   We have a saying that goes, ‘The larger…
