Say No To Domestic Abuse

Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. - Colossians 3:19

Cases of domestic abuse in relationship is increasingly on the rise. Sadly, most of the victims are women. Some women has lost their lives through domestic abuse. I really don't know why a man will beat a lady no matter what she has done. But what sadden more is when some men continuously beat their wives, it's inhumane to violently abuse any human male or female.

When there is a constant domestic abuse in a relationship or marriage, you got to save yourself first before saving the marriage. Many has remain in a toxic and abusive relationships at the expense of their lives. It is only the living spouses that can save their marriage.

Domestic violence is sin. When a person engages in verbal, sexual or domestic violence he or she has broken faith with his or her husband or wife. Domestic violence is far too often a dirty secret happening behind closed doors and weekly filling church auditorium in suffering silence. We have a responsibility to name this sin and to be grieved over its prevalence in the world.

If we are to be God’s people then we must publicly teach that domestic violence is sin, acknowledge our complicit silence in this area, provide safe havens for those seeking freedom, regularly pray for those trapped in abusive situations, and model healthy and life-affirming relationships. The church has a role to play in addressing this.

A man that beats his spouse, is that one a man or a beast? #SayNoToDomesticViolence

Good Morning and have a wonderful Saturday.
