Saved Alive

We all remember the story in Exodus that gives the details of how Israel and his sons were invited by Pharaoh to settle in the most fertile part of Egypt. God blessed them, giving them more than they needed.   “The Israelites were fruitful and prolific;they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was [...]

Amazing Grace Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found Was blind, but now I see. Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed Many have heard [...]

Amazing Grace:Part 2

The church services were very different from Catholic Mass. Initially, I was embarrassed at the way, these people passionately and without reservation praised God. Scripture says, “The Lord inhabits the praises of His people.” It seemed to me, it could happen at the drop of a dime—very suddenly. I could not help but wonder, what [...]

God Still Heals

“…But time and chance happen to us all.”  Eccl. 9:11 Life often gives us some low blows.  We are often hit with a sucker punch from now where and when we come to we can’t remember what happened.  It is our human nature to gather ourselves, regain composure and deal with the situation.  However, sometimes [...]

New School Prayer

The Application of Scripture

A couple of weeks ago I was rather disturbed by a lengthy comment we received here on the blog. Initially, I was concerned that readers might believe that the comments were a reflection of what we, Sisters of the Faith, believe.  After prayer and consultation with some “spiritual giants” I realized that our readers would [...]

Mrs. President?

In last week’s post entitled Sister Pastor I shared with you how unfair it was for Lifeway Bookstores to refuse to put this month’s issue of Gospel Today magazine on their shelves.  Their refusal is said to be based on the revised Baptist Faith & Message which they adopted in 2000.    The Southern Baptist [...]

Be Able to Give a Defense

In a world that is growing more and more hostile to Christianity, it is important that we, as believers, become more rooted and grounded in our faith.  Furthermore, the opportunities to share the faith are endless–there are people from all walks of life that need to know Jesus.  We at Sisters of the Faith asked the question, [...]

Just when we think we are past some of the many unnecessary issues that plagued the body of Christ in the past something comes up and rear its ugly head.  We are all familiar with Gospel Today magazine and its founder Teresa Hairston.  Her magazine has featured many interesting articles and profiles of those in [...]
