SISTERS OF THE FAITH

Why Christian Fail to Grow

Why Christians Fail to Grow By Frank King In the book of Hebrews, the writer brings up an interesting church problem: "For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat" (Hebrews 5:12, KJV). First, the writer is not talking to new converts, but he is talking to Christians who have been in the faith long enough that by now they should be serving as teachers in the ...

Our Father in Heaven

Our Father in Heaven By Anne Simpson A woman's view of her Heavenly Father is often tainted by her view of her earthly father. A cold and distant father? A cold and distant God. Likewise, a generous, loving father renders her view of God as generous and loving as well. How about you? What was your father like? A stern disciplinarian? Strict but loving? Gentle and quiet? Fun-loving and playful? Now, how do you view God as He relates to you on a daily basis? Faithful, but far removed from the details of your life? A stern judge who demands ...

Confessions of a Former Coupon Snob

I guess for me it started when I was in high school. My very first job was at a Food Lion supermarket. I can remember how agitated I would get when these women, with stacks of unorganized paper clippings, would come into my line and attempt to sort through them as I tried to move them along swiftly. Registers back then weren't like the nice ones we see now days. I would have to check the journal tape continuously to ensure that none of their coupons were missed or otherwise face a tongue lashing. The pressure was only multiplied with ...

Good Friday Poem

by Alan Allegra “What makes Good Friday good?” you ask. A challenge! A rather daunting task. Some may dismiss it with a shrug and a smirk, And consider it another day off work. Others, religious, pious as such, Take a few minutes for a mournful watch; Merchants unlock their doors with glee, Anticipating the pre-Easter shopping spree. A bunny here, a chocolate egg there, Symbols of a society that doesn’t care. “Care?” you say, “Do you mean me?” “What’s there to care; how can this be?” It’s the cross, you forget, that rugged wood, That makes Good Friday eternally good. What’s so good about the death of an ancient man, Who died long before my ...

Spiritual Eating Disorders

Spiritual Eating Disorders By Deborrah Ogans Anorexia and Bulimia are very serious eating disorders that occur when one does not properly relate to food. Eating disorders are serious. They can and do result in physical and emotional turmoil. There are a lot of control issues related to eating disorders. An unbalanced spiritual diet will result in a spiritual eating disorder. If you go without spiritual food; you will lack the proper skills to navigate through the spiritual maze of life. Jesus came to this world to redeem us from the penalty of sin. He overcame sin in the flesh for us. ...

Follow Me

Many people often compliment my husband and I in regards to the eating habits of our children, especially our three year old. She doesn't eat candy. In fact, she refuses it! She has just begun to experiment with very small pieces of chocolate but, that's it. She prefers carrots, celery, apples and grapes, etc. Of course, we don't mind, its good for her. But, when and how did this happen? How did we do it? She simply mimics the behaviors modeled before her. We don't really do junk food. Yes, we have the occasional dessert but, it is not an every ...

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 ...

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 ...
