How to Help Someone Through the Fire

When something bad happens, you have two choices.  First, you can get angry and throw a fit.  The second choice, is to take a deep breath and realize that God has a plan, even in the mess.  My goal is to choose the latter.  It’s a lot easier to do so when you are surrounded by people shining God’s light and being His hands and feet.  We have been … [Read more...]

Let’s Celebrate Pentecost!

What?  You don’t celebrate Pentecost?  We never did either...until now.  We celebrate Jesus' birthday and His resurrection.  Shouldn’t we celebrate the life and power He sent to live inside of us? What is Pentecost? It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him … [Read more...]

The Top 5 Things A Good Bible Lesson Should Include

by admin 91 Comments

There is a certain comfort (and definitely no shame!) in following a Bible lesson that is pre-made or boxed up and ready to go.  If you are like me, however, you may have a hard time finding lessons on the topics you want.  At the least, you may want to tweak them a bit.  While all of our kids need to be taught similar things such as “Jesus loves … [Read more...]

Oikos–It’s Not Just a Yogurt!

by admin 10 Comments

You may have heard the word “oikos” spoken in church lately.  (If not, keep reading.  This still applies to you!)  If you did, more than likely they weren’t talking about yogurt.  Technically, “oikos” is the greek word used in the new testament to describe extended family.  It typically could have included 15-35 family members--not just those who … [Read more...]

How Do You Know When Your Child Is Ready to be Baptized?

by admin 6 Comments

The best moment for a Christian mommy has to be the moment that her child accepts Jesus into his or her heart.  It’s hard to know the exact moment it happens.  We may not even be there when it does.  Although baptism isn’t the “saving” moment, it’s a moment that we can put our finger on.  It’s a culmination of many prayers and joyous … [Read more...]

Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this season of uncertainty, it feels even more important. I keep asking God to change my heart if what I want is not what he has for me, but the pull just keeps getting stronger. I am certain of what I hope for. It’s a struggle to be just as certain that He will provide it. But He is faithful even when we are not. Thank goodness!  So we will praise Him in the storm...and wait. #faith #waitingplace #godisgood #hewillprovide
