Women Who Fear the Lord…

I have hanging up in my bathroom a framed poster of the last part of Proverbs 31:30 (ESV), “but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” It helps me to keep my mind focused throughout the day as to what type of wife, mother, daughter… I need to be. Often, I repent for my attitude prior

We Are To Pray For Each Other

Those that were left after the massacre led by Ishmael came to Jeremiah and asked him to pray to God what they should do, in Jeremiah 42.  In Hebrews 7:25, we see Jesus is constantly interceding for us. Not only Him but the Holy Spirit intercedes when we don’t know what to say, Romans 8:26.

First Love…

Laughter, Licorice, Lemons, Language, and Love The English language leaves us with one word for love, while other languages have more than one word. I love pumpkin pie but not in the same way I love my husband. Love for another person is not always the easiest thing to do. As a Christian, it gets

What’s In Your Heart?
