Dear mother, you are in the greatest career that God has given to women. There is no greater way to influence the righteous destiny of the nation than raising godly sons and daughters. Don’t weaken your power and influence by leaving your home. You will not only influence this nation for good but determine the outcome of future generations.
I usually do early voting but this year I decided to vote ON THE DAY. And I wish that I could vote with a paper ballot. We know that the dems will be doing everything they can to steal this election as they did last time, and machines cannot be trusted.
Dear wives and mothers, you are doing a wonderful work as you build your home and family for the Lord. In fact, we should daily keep in our minds what we are doing--building a house to God. We should have no other motive. I am sure you think of your home as "the house of the Lord" for God longs to dwell in your home and fill it with His presence.
The beautiful High Priest’s robes. They were made for glory and for beauty. Do you notice the shoulder pieces on each side of the ephod? Inside each pouch was an Onyx stone and on each stone were written the names of the children of Israel, the names of six tribes on one side and the other six on the other side, all in birth order.
Alexander Maclaren writes: "Unless religion is communion, it is nothing." True Christianity is a relationship with a person, Jesus Christ, but it is also relationship with one another.
What makes does a door swing open? It's the insignificant hinges that we hardly ever notice. And yet without the hinges the door cannot open or close. And so it is with our daily life. It cannot function without the seemingly common and insignificant things of life.
Only one week to go to determine the course of this great nation. Oh, dear families, I trust you are praying. I trust you are meeting daily as a family to pray for this nation and for these coming elections.
My last post to you was from Way’s translation of Titus 2:3-5. Here is something else I noticed. I was struck by how Way's translation exhorts wives "to be amiable and submissive to their own husbands."
Jean Marie writes:
I love the Arthur S. Way's translation of Titus 2:3-5 where it tells the older women their responsibilities: "They should be teachers of virtue, qualified to school in self-control the young women, to teach them to love their husbands and their children, to be discreet and chaste, to recognize that their sphere is home, to be amiable and submissive to their own husbands, so that no slander may assail the Word of God."
When God first got a hold of my heart completely at 17 years old, He changed me from the inside out. My attitudes changed as this new life of Christ began to unfold in my life. I saw all things He created as if it were the first time. I couldn’t get enough of His presence. At 17 years, I spent all free time and weekends soaking in the presence of God, saturating myself in His Word, and praying for hours upon hours. I couldn't wait to be with Him in the secret place every day.
It’s so easy to get burdened down with negative thoughts, isn’t it? If we don’t discipline our thoughts they tend toward self-pity, “poor me” attitude, selfishness, and even thoughts of God that are not worthy of Him.
Dear ladies, as you are aware, I love to send out a picture to you with every post I write. A picture is worth a thousand words! But it is not always easy to find the right picture and as I look for pictures there is often a problem with copyright.
In order to counteract distractions this we must get into the habit of becoming disciplined and focused. How can we FOCUS? I'll share an acrostic with you, and as I do, I'll point three fingers back at me!
Three of our grandsons singing "On Christ the solid rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand." They loved to sing with all their hearts.
Wow, wouldn’t your children think it was was cool if you could give gold to them every day? Dear mother, you have the power to do this. You have gold in your hands. As you and your husband read God‘s word to your children each day, you are giving them gold. Gold that is eternal. Gold that will lead lead them on a path of success. Psalm 19:10 says that God’s words and more precious than much fine gold. They are sweeter than honey dripping from the honeycomb. The most important thing you can do each day is to dispense the goal of God’s word to your children. Don’t let other things interfere. Make it a priority.
It grieves me when I hear people say they are angry with God. Really? Who do we think we are to be mad at Him? He is the God of the universe, the Creator of the world, the Creator of our bodies, the God who judges righteously and perfectly, the God who loves us with an everlasting love, the God who works everything out for our good even when we can't see it, and the God who sent His only Beloved Son to die and save us from our sins.
Are you a grumbling mother or a praising mother?
Yesterday I shared with; you seven adjectives of how God wants us to fill the earth. But there’s more. Not only does God give us these adjectives but He also paints pictures for us on this subject. He wants us to feel His heart about this subject. God promised the patriarchs of old that their descendants would be like . . .
As I read the Scriptures, I invariably find that my thinking is quite opposite to God’s thinking. What should I do? I’ve got to change my opinion to God’s way of thinking. I think that many who call themselves Christians don’t really believe in the God of the Bible after all. It is so easy to believe in a God of our own imagination. Unless we constantly fill our minds with God’s Word, we can be deceived. The other day I was checking out God’s attitude toward fruitfulness. I notice the Bible is far removed from how even Christians think today. The average number of children per family in America is only 1.9 children per family but God’s vision is much bigger.AboveRubies
