Growing Your Capacity to Love
Growing Your Capacity to Love By Greg Baker We're all born with the capacity to love. After all, we are born in God's image. For some, that capacity is limited only to self, which usually makes it difficult to love others. In a nut shell, our capacity to love is dependent upon our ability to absorb, accept, and deal with being hurt by someone else. Loving someone isn't the euphoria and paradise that so much of our main stream philosophy tends to portray. In fact, the more love you give someone the greater the chances will be that they'll hurt you. It doesn't ...
The Way
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 GEICO, Allstate, State Farm, Liberty Mutual, Fidelis; there are many different insurance companies. There are many different kinds of insurances. There’s life insurance, health insurance, car insurance, flood insurance, house insurance, pet insurance, and there’s even now car maintenance insurance. People feel safer when they know they insured. Amen but, how safe can this type of insurance really make you? Life insurance can only be benefited from in the event of ...
A Passionate Christian Woman
A Passionate Christian Woman By C. Maggie Woychik What is a passionate Christian woman? Well, she's not a woman who's perfect, peerless or guiltless, but as human as you and me. A passionate Christian woman simply has a passion for the things of God and is driven to do something about it. This woman thirsts for God. God is the driving force of her existence, the meaning behind her life. She doesn't live primarily for the latest fads, fashions, or fancies, but for God. She cares little for fame or fortune, recognition or reward. Instead, she has experienced the intense satisfaction of a ...
Top Ten Anti-Christian Attacks in 2009
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 For quite some time now Christians in the U.S have had freedoms that our counterparts elsewhere (i.e. China) could never imagine. However, as we progress ...
Just a Reminder for all the Mothers
According to Titus 2:5 it is important that a young woman keep her home. She is "to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to [her] husband, so that no one will malign the Word of God." Unfortunately, our society has taken this out of context and we have placed more importance on keeping up appearances than anything else. I ran across this great poem today that was a refreshing reminder of what my most important role in my home is...raising my children. Too many days are spent focusing on the ...
Lord, Please Bless My Mess
Hello Lord. Its me again. I know we haven't been speaking quite as often as we used to. I used to hear from you all the time. I guess we've both been a little busy. It happens. Anyway, since we last spoke a lot of things have happened and well, I was wondering if you could do me a solid? Lord, I know that you told me that if I would seek you first you would take care of the rest. And I truly am sorry that I haven't made it to church lately but, Sunday is the only day I ...
Thy Will Be Done?
This evening during our bedtime routine my seven year old and I made an agreement to teach my two year old The Lord's Prayer. We decided to begin immediately. As we began to recite each line and await our student's response I began to reflect on each line...Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done. I paused for a moment as I began to consider the gravity of such a declaration. I had to ask myself if I really wanted God's will to be done. If I were to examine my ...

Spoken Word:You Just Never KnewI can remember being unsaved and just “knowing” that I had my whole life ahead of me. This should be expected of the spiritually blind.
