No one is too sinful, broken, or tarnished to receive the gift of salvation and live a new life devoted to the Lord. The women in Jesus’ genealogy demonstrate that truth.
I am glad you are here! Maybe we can narrow down your recipe choices for your next Christmas get-together and find something that will work for all your precious people.
As Christians, we receive God’s grace readily and are thankful that His mercies are new every morning. Why then is it so difficult to extend grace to ourselves when we decide not to participate in every family activity?
Did you know that in the Christmas narrative, there are several women involved, not just Jesus’ mother? Let’s spend a moment this Christmas season learning about the women of Christmas.
During this season, I seek God for a word for my life, a verse that I can lean on for the next year, and practical goals I feel led to work towards. These simple ideas given to me by the Holy Spirit help ground me and keep me focused over the many ups and downs we experience over the course of a year. I love going back the following December and seeing how God used those words, verses, and goals to grow me.
Birthday season is in full swing all year ‘round. It’s so much fun to celebrate female friends and family at various times throughout the year. However, finding a great birthday present can sometimes be daunting.
Hosting a holiday get-together is the very definition of hard work. More than just the given—that is, physical—labor, serving as a host will also require you to perform emotional—and spiritual—labor. Take the issue of boundaries, for example. Whenever people assemble, conversations will ensue, and so will differences of opinion. But when there are so many divisive issues waiting to twist an innocent dialogue into a conflict, how do you protect your holiday celebration from devolving into an emotional mess?
Psalm 139:14 reminds us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” by God, but what does this really mean? As we navigate life, learn more about ourselves with age, and grow closer to God, what does it mean to see ourselves as fearfully, wonderfully, and intentionally made by God? How can we embrace what makes us uniquely different?
We believe so many things about our bodies. Why not believe God's gospel truth? Find out what unchangeable truth God has to say about how you were made.
The current trends and societal norms will tell us to do what feels right or “follow our heart,” but God’s design for us is so different, yet beautiful and perfect! Let’s see what He has to say about our place in the family.
The Old and New Testaments say much about beauty, what is truly lovely. Does beauty involve only physical appearance, or something more? Is it sinful to desire to be beautiful? How do we respond to the biblical concept of beauty?
What does God think about this? Does the Bible give us any guidance on whether or not our weight matters to Him? Are we spending our lives worrying about something that is irrelevant from an eternal perspective, or is it worth the attention it gets?
When you are ambushed by it, allow yourself to “pull over,” in these six ways to honor your own pain. Your loss is worth it. Your healing is worth it. You are worth it.
A sense of loss can occur when you change jobs, a friend moves, or a team, class, or relationship changes. It can be health-related, such as an illness, or hope-related, such as a dream or goal that wasn’t realized. These all create losses that need to be grieved. Recognizing when we are experiencing loss can help us create the space we need to grieve effectively.
