Mothers often need a break from the cleaning, cooking, laundry. There is a lot to do to keep a house and home under control. Things can go haywire quickly, and not just for mothers. But no matter who you are, you can find comfort in trusting in God's ultimate control.

Forgive Others As We Have Been Forgiven

Contributed by David Mcnally on Sep 7, 2011

God has forgiven us. The blood of Jesus washes us clean. God does not hold our sins against us, so we should be like Jesus and forgive those who sin against us. Such is our duty and such is our witness.

Our Mighty God Series

Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 9, 2008

We all are very independent individuals. Some of our first words – perhaps even our first sentence – expressed that self-reliance. "I can do it myself." This is healthy when we’re dressing and cleaning up. It becomes unhealthy when we try to control o

How The Holy Spirit Uses Discernment To Protect Us

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Apr 10, 2003

The Holy Spirit gives us a discerning mind to help us distinguish between truth and partial truths. Hebrews 5:14 says, "Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."

How the Holy Spirit Protects Us From People Who Would Use the Scriptures for Their Selfish Ambitions (Mark 7:11,12) Illustration:Get the right perspective.

The Song Of Moses And The Song Of The Lamb

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on May 24, 2009

The question is: are you able to sing the Song of Moses? Bible history reveals that Jacob left the land of Canaan for Egypt to look for food. The children of Israel were in slavery in Egypt for many years. Why did God keep them there that long?

Olukoya Isaiah51:11says,“Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.” Here the ...read more

Blessed Are The Ermine Series

Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 13, 2013

While we tend to focus on the purity of such things as food, water, and air, we would be wise to focus more intently on the purity of heart that Jesus speaks of here. A purity if not possessed will prevent us from seeing God both now and eternally.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. The ermine is a short-tailed weasel that has the unique feature of having its fur change to a snow-white color in the win¬ter. God created this animal with this feature to protect it from others. The ermine instinctively protects his white coat ...read more

Christ Lives In Me

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 20, 2018

The type of person we see in Jesus or indeed what Jesus means to us is very variable, unique and very personal - Jesus, not just a Leader, Teacher, Physician, not even as Saviour, but John describes Jesus as food. I AM the bread of life.

Jesus Christ: The Messiah, Not A Meal Ticket Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2021

When Jesus fed the five thousand, as recorded in all four gospels, He demonstrated what He taught about God being the Provider of our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). Most of the crowd, however, wanted food, not faith.

The Lord Jesus never taught anything about the nature and character of God the Father that He Himself did not demonstrate or model before either His disciples or the people who followed and listened to Him. When we first read of this miracle, mentioned in all four gospels, we see the Divine ...read more
