bible study (406)
I always had in mind what I believed would bring me contentment, house with a white-picket fence and 2.5 children. God however had other plans for me than my picture-perfect idea of what I thought satisfaction was. I struggled for years accepting that my life had turned out differently than I had hoped. I lost my contentment by focusing on all my desires that were unfulfilled.
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I learned in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how t
I just want to share just a little bit of Scripture with you, Psalms, 139: 23 and 24
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
Listen, none of us want to think about the things that are wrong in our life are the things that are bad about us. We just rather think about the good stuff. We'd rather ask God to bless us, but sometimes when God wants to bless you after the blessing, he must break
And so I suppose, all of us, at some time or another have, been frustrated that we've been discouraged and, that we've been tempted to quit we tried hard, but we didn't immediately get the results. We expected. Therefore, we declare you know what I tried it didn't work. I quit now, who am I talking to out there? I tried didn't work, so I quit
The struggles of life have pilfered the life out of your life and you don't know where to turn and quite honestly, you don't know, if faith is worth the ri
Have you ever made big plans for your life, only to fail to act on them? Or maybe you started with a bang and kept your motivation for a few days, but suddenly lost interest.
It’s easy to lose motivation after the initial excitement wears off. But if you want to be successful, it’s important to keep going. The work isn’t going to get done itself.
Understand why you lose your motivation:
1. The planning phase is more fun than the execution phase. Sitting alone at night and making plans for
Every man has been called by God to biblical manhood, not merely to male-ness. There can be a difference between being a male and being a man Being a man has to do with owning your responsibility under God and having God as your authority. When you forsake that definition ``under God,'', then you have compromised the true definition of manhood and you've actually settled for being a male. It is absolutely critical that you understand like in a good football game. You'Ve been drafted, You've been
In many ways the world, as we once knew, it really has forever changed as a result of this global pandemic, and even though we've taken massive steps towards getting back to some kind of normalcy, there's still so much unknown isn't there. What if another wave comes back, when will there be a vaccine? what, if jobs, don't return? Will my kids be safe at school, the unknown and the uncertainty is scary.
And if you've found yourself at any point of all of this craziness feeling fear, that's unders
A Chicago woman was stunned by one patron's radical generosity. Nicole Thompson works as a teacher and has a second job as a bartender at a restaurant to help pay the bills. One day she received over a thousand percent tip from the same person totaling $ 1,500. The generous man heard from one of Thompson's friends that she was working, two jobs and the patron thought she deserved the tips this one act of kindness, impacted enriched and refreshed thompson, so much so that she felt different for t
So today we are going to talk about characteristics of a godly woman and if you are a woman, what you should strive for, and maybe if you are a guy, if you're a man of God what you should look for in a woman. I'm really excited to Tell you guys about the characteristics that I come up with and what I personally strive to obtain. I have five here, so, let's get into it.
1. So my first characteristic is that she's lost in the Lord. Matthew 6 says that we should seek first, his kingdom and his righ
Today we're gon na meditate on a passage from the Book of Jeremiah chapter 17, verses 7 & 8.
New King James Version
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not [a]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
Another word for anchored is rooted, and I love what the
Men really do matter. Men are critical to the well-being of their families, to the strength of their churches, and to the order of our culture and our society. It is critical that men understand this unique and special place and responsibility that God has given us. That doesn't make us better than women, but the reason God created Adam first was that he would bear the shoulder of responsibility. The key to manhood is responsibility under God, and so God set a man aside, Adam, to give him instru
