When People You Love are Making Bad Decisions




Ladies ~ When people that you love are making bad decisions and choosing to live in sin.....
When people that you love are making bad decisions and choosing to live in sin ... don’t allow your focus to be hindered by them. Pray for them. Love them. But don’t let them hinder your walk with Christ.
Pour your thoughts and energies into things that are God honoring.
Pour your thoughts and energies into those that are doing right.
Pour your thoughts and energies into the Word of God and prayer.
If you allow people to hinder your God-ward focus you will also hinder your ‘would be’ godly influence in their lives. Rebels need to see Christ in you. They need to see your faith endure as you trust Jesus – come what may.
Don’t allow the world and its worldlings to distract your focus and commitment for Christ.
Don’t allow them to use you as their center of abuse.
Don’t let them bully you.
*Instead be the salt and a light that Jesus designed you to be.




Salt has purifying healing to it – although it stings.
Light exposes truth and reveals what goes on in darkness.
“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God” (John. 3:19-21).
Again, love your enemies, pray for them…fervently! But don’t let them be used to divert your focus off from Jesus. You live your Christian life as God would have you to… and let others live their own lives.
We need to pray constantly, learn the Word of God continually, and humbly yield to the Spirit.

The Beauty of Self Control




We all struggle with self control on many different levels, many especially with anger.

JR Miller had some thoughts on this:

"There are men who rule other men and cannot rule themselves.

On Men Discipling Their Children



“Men, your primary responsibility in your home, after your wife, is you to disciple your own children. And if you don’t do it, you’re in sin; you are in sin.

And if you turn it over to a Sunday school teacher, you are in sin. And you are to be teaching these children more than just stories about animals that went into Noah’s ark.

7 Marks of A Right Heart Before God




With a new year let us all see to it to have a right heart before the Lord.

Read below for some true heart examination quoted from JC Ryle (a 19th century preacher):

1) A right heart is a NEW heart (Ezek. 36:26).

It is not the heart with which a person is born—but another heart put in them by the Holy Spirit. It is a heart which has new tastes, new joys, new sorrows, new desires, new hopes, new fears, new likes, new dislikes.

It has new views about the soul, sin, God, Christ, salvation, the Bible, prayer, heaven, hell, the world, and holiness. It is like a farm with a new and good tenant. “Old things are passed away. Behold all things are become new” (2 Cor. 5:17).

FREE Bible Reading Plans for 2025





Are you looking to read through the Bible this year?

Every year in January my husband likes to print out a Bible reading plan for the family. This year he printed out two different options for the children that he thought they might like. It was funny because the two older boys had printed out on of the same exact plans just a few months ago!

30 Days of Praying for the New Year






When I became a young Christian I had participated in many different areas of ministry trying to see what area I liked best. I remember doing some door greeting, children's ministry, and many other areas but the area that I always fondly look back to is the time when I was part of a special prayer team at our local church.

Naomi's Shortbread Cookies



My daughter, Naomi, was quite the baker when she was younger and one of the things that we used to love that she used to bake was her shortbread cookies with jam. 

She would use all kinds of jam and no matter what kind she made it was all gobbled up right away.

What Does it Cost to be a True Christian?




"It will cost a man the favor of the world. He must be content to be thought ill of by man if he pleases God.

He must count it no strange thing to be mocked, ridiculed, slandered, persecuted, and even hated.
