Encouragement for Christian Women, and a Few Laughs Along the way

I think we often underestimate the love of God. Perhaps because we have become calloused to the word “love” when it is used so flippantly here on earth. People will tell you they love you and then turn around and betray your trust the next day. Picture the person you love the most here on …
Well, I will tell you first what you DON’T do. You DON’T sit down and give up! This is exactly what Satan wants you to think should happen. He wants you to believe you are no good and not useful for the cause of Christ anymore. Don’t buy that pack of lies. Let’s take a …

Anger is one of the most powerful emotions we experience. There are over 275 verses in the Bible dealing with this subject. We must be so careful how we handle anger. BUT – did you know anger itself is not a sin? God himself gets angry from time to time. It’s how you handle your …
Have you ever wondered where God was? Ever felt like your prayers weren’t being heard, or like the peace and joy you once had were now nowhere to be found? Me too…Here’s some food for thought: A lesson learned from Jesus’ parents in Luke 2:42-51 Luke 2:42-51 “42 And when he was twelve years old, …
