Encouragement for Christian Women, and a Few Laughs Along the way
Most of us are acquainted with the first and second chapters of the book of Luke. We hear much about them, especially this time of the year. The account of Jesus’ miraculous conception and birth is recorded in these chapters. I also love to read the story of his cousin John. His conception, too, was …
The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead. …
Do you ever feel overwhelmed when you read or watch the news and learn of all the evil going on in our world? Do you ever discover a disappointing truth about someone, and become a little sorrowful because you held them in such high esteem? There is a Bible verse in Ecclesiastes that explains this …

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 2 Peter 3:17 While living in this wicked world, we are all susceptible to venturing down the wrong path. We try to guard ourselves the best we can, …
