In our devotions the other day, we read these verses: “But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believes not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, HE IS JUDGED OF ALL: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth” (1 Corinthians 14:24, 25). What does prophesy mean? We are answered in 1 Corinthians 14:3:…
Written By a Retired Minister in Tennessee I like the old paths… Moms were at home, dads were at work, Brothers went into the army and sisters got married BEFORE having children! Crime did not pay; hard work did And people knew the difference. Moms could cook, dads would work, And children behaved. Husbands were loving, wives were supportive And children were polite. Women wore the jewelry and men wore the pants. Women looked like ladies, men looked like gentlemen…
A woman commented on Ben Shapiro’s post about Matt Walsh writing and speaking too much about Jesus: “I love this! One thing I don’t understand is how can you be a Democrat and a Christian? Pro-choice, marriage equality, anti-gun (we have a right to defend ourselves). I’m not saying I’m against marriage equality because it’s not my place to judge. But I don’t go around promoting it.” Is it not our place to judge? How can we rebuke, exhort, and…
Bad things happen in this life. Evil things happen. Many question the goodness of God because of these things. Babies are diagnosed with leukemia. Women who want so badly to have children are infertile. A diagnosis of cancer shortens a life. Where is God in all of this and how should we respond in and through our sufferings? In a book called The Made From Scratch Life by Melissa Norris, Melissa tells of a time when she lost a baby…
From David Murray on Revive Our Hearts Radio Well, I’ll sum it up very briefly . . . it (technology) is killing us.I can expand on that if you want. I love technology–I’m a technophile–I just love it! But, and it’s not just Christians saying this, it’s a very broad range of secular opinion, from a sociological viewpoint, educational viewpoint, health viewpoint. We’re seeing, increasingly, the digital revolution is changing us in detrimental ways. It’s damaging us, and I think…
“It always gets me when people talk about ‘listening to your heart’ or ‘following your heart.’ Jesus didn’t say, ‘Lay down your life, take up your cross, and follow your heart.’ In fact, the Lord said quite the opposite. ‘The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?’ Christians should not follow their hearts, but the Word. We live in a time where people are more concerned with living by their feelings than…
Sometimes, we have some fairly heated conversations in the chat room when it comes to controversial issues like vaccinations, celebrating Halloween or Christmas, healthy eating and living, and other topics that women have strong opinions about. I enjoy these conversations as long as they stay on track and don’t become personal attacks or harsh. As sisters in Christ, we need to learn how to be able to disagree with each other without becoming harsh, mean, upset, angry, or offended so…
Yesterday, I watchedAgenda: Grinding America Down. I encourage you to watch it, too, and pass it on to all you know. It’s a powerful movie! Here are some insights and quotes that I took from it. The goal of Communism is to detach our culture from any moral anchors whatsoever and turn Norman Rockwell’s America into a Hugh Hefner’s America. Socialism is the first and necessary step towards Communism. Why is the left pushing their socialist agenda on us? They’re…
God spoke to Noah personally. God told him that He was going to destroy the earth by flood so Noah needed to build a big ark to survive. Can you imagine what kind of preaching this “preacher of righteousness” preached? I’m sure it was not tickling their ears type of preaching or “find your best life now” or some watered-down lukewarm kind of teaching. “There’s something terrible that’s going to happen one day but it’s okay. Spend your life as…
My mom is very sick. She mostly lays in bed all day long and wants to go to heaven. She has lived a good and long life for 87 years. She’s been an amazing mother to me and we’ve been close for all of our lives. It’s hard for me to see her in the condition she is in. Death is a very hard thing to watch even if it’s an old person. At the beginning of last September, I…
