Do you, as a Christian, plan your days so you’re using your time wisely (Ephesians 5:15-16)? We don’t just want to live to get things done or get the most things done; we want to get done what we should be focusing on or prioritizing.

EP 111: Getting Things Done: A Walk Through Ephesians 5:15-16

We want to get things done. We want our days to be productive. Deep down, we always want to get all those items on our to-do list checked off, which rarely happens. We may have days or seasons where we’re productive and on top of things, and there ... continue reading...

EP 118: Cultivating Patience with One Another

If someone were to ask your family if you were a patient person, what would their response be? I want to consider myself a patient person, but I'm not sure what my family would say, and especially when I'm under stress or when things aren't working ... continue reading...

If we want proof of God’s love for us, then we m If we want proof of God’s love for us, then we must look first at the Cross, where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God’s love for us.⁣
~ Jerry Bridges
Jesus is the only righteous one who perfectly deli Jesus is the only righteous one who perfectly delighted in the law of the Lord and meditated on it day and night. Jesus is like the tree planted by streams of water. His life was abundantly fruitful, and all that He did, He prospered. His life, death, and resurrection accomplished the salvation of sinners—all those who can’t live up to the demands of Psalm 1 but put their faith and trust in Jesus alone for salvation.⁣

Our ladies’ bible study group at church studied Our ladies’ bible study group at church studied several of the Psalms together. My Psalm to share a message and put together some study questions was Psalm 1, and I wanted to share my time from that study with you today. ⁣
⁣
Psalm 1 is one I memorized years ago, and I thought I was pretty familiar with it until I studied through it. So I hope when you listen to the podcast below or read the post, it will open up Psalm 1 to you a bit more. ⁣
⁣
I’m including in the links a PDF download of the study questions I shared with my ladies group if you’d like to do a mini-study on Psalm 1 in your own time.⁣

Treating your husband with respect is not somethin Treating your husband with respect is not something that your husband must first earn; it is something that you choose to show him.  It is an underlying heart’s attitude that is to be prevalent regardless of your circumstances and in spite of your feelings. ⁣
⁣
How respectful are you to your husband?  The way you talk to him? About him? We’re going to tear apart Ephesians 5:33, in which we as wives are not suggested to but commanded to show respect to our husbands whether or not we feel he deserves it.⁣

Do you ever find yourself flitting from task to ta Do you ever find yourself flitting from task to task and at the end of the day realizing you didn't finish any of them? Do you have trouble staying focused and on task? A tool that has helped me immensely over the years to stay on tasks whether it's household chores, reading, time on social media, blog work, paying bills, and a host of other items is just a simple household timer. ⁣

It is a simple tool we all have either on our phones, wrists, or in the back of a drawer somewhere and it will keep you focused, efficient,  and you'll accomplish more in much less time than you think. ⁣
