God Appoints Our Portion

by

I don't like to be interrupted. My heart is not always ready to do what God has appointed for me at the moment. I seem to forget that God appoints my portion. Most of the time I don't see it as an appointment from God but as an interruption. Those interruptions show that I have a heart that needs to be pruned because my heart should be saying "Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king decides" (2 Samuel 15:15).

Gently Correcting One Another

by
Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Communicating with Our Children Communication in Marriage Friendships Mentoring Spiritual Discipleship Titus 2

We don’t often think of gentleness as a godly virtue. If we are to correct others God’s Word calls us to do it in a spirit of gentleness.

What is Spiritual Maturity?

by
Bible Study Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Contentment Encouragement Ministry

As believers, we all desire to be spiritually mature in our walk with the Lord. We want to be more like Christ in our hearts, speech, thoughts, lives and our relationships with others. We start our Christian walk as children and gradually grow up into adulthood and it is a process that differs with each of us. Many times we can equate spiritual maturity with our knowledge of the Scriptures, how many verses we have memorized, where we attend church, or how many bible studies we've ... continue reading...
