christian living (1408)

I know my place in the universe and I am fulfilling my purpose. I believe that  Yahweh put me  put on Earth for a specific reason. I know that reason and do my best each day to live my life at the highest level.

 

I am confident that I know my reason for existing. Each day gives me the opportunity to be radiantly alive. I am grateful for the good fortune bestowed upon me.

 

I build my life around my purpose. Since I know my purpose, I find it easier to make decisions. My decisions and values ali

In previous years, generations ago women were considered property of the husband or father to whom they belonged.  Now as we have progressed into the 21st century women have stepped up to the plate and are an integral part of society and politics, on an entirely equal footing with men.  In the past, women were considered as belonging to their husbands or fathers, now they are the CEO’s of major corporations.  Women today are a very important part of society, with women in jobs such as judges, Se

Remaining Virtuous

 

by Vanessa Grossett  

Brethren before I get into the context of this article, I want you to know I didn't write this to create any controversy.

Under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, this article is written to remind women of how God wants us to be, rather than taking on the world's view. In writing this I am also ministering to myself.

Yes this can apply to all Christians, but this has been specifically written for women, as us ladies hold a special place in the church. We a

Joshua 1:8 gives insight on how we can have good success. The verse says that we must meditate in the Word day and night. Meditation is the process of chewing on the Word. To ponder, think aloud, consider continuously and utter something repeatedly. As you do this, your life will be blessed with increased faith, wisdom, success and victory over sin.

Stop Wallowing, Just Do It

Negative beliefs and thoughts can end up impacting your entire life in a “butterfly effect” type way. If you think that you are worthless, then this can change the way you stand, the chances you take, and opportunities that you believe are available to you. The result is that you make a worse impression on others, and don’t take full advantage of your innate skills and abilities.

But did you know that similar beliefs can affect you on a day to day level? Hidden beliefs that you aren’t aware of c

In everything I do, I display a true sense of purpose. I take every action as an opportunity to use my abilities to the fullest. 

 

I know that the results are more favorable when I give something my all, and it is because of my successes that my sense of purpose continues to thrive.

 

I love my family and friends with a strong sense of purpose. I remind myself each day that they are part of my backbone and support system and they deserve my complete and unconditional love. I feel a strong bond

This is one of the most difficult questions for Christians to answer.

The “problem of pain,” as the well-known Christian scholar, C.S. Lewis, once called it, is atheism’s most potent weapon against the Christian faith.

All true science and history, if rightly understood, support the fact of God. This evidence is so strong that, as the Bible says: “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God (Psalm 14:1).

 

Most atheists, therefore, without any objective evidence on which to base their fait

Tell me if this verse from 2 corinthians 5:17 sounds familiar. 

 

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!

 

I'm sure you've heard that one many times but let me ask you something. Do you really believe what it says? The Apostle Paul is basically saying if we know jesus, we are new creations. Not a new creation yesterday, or last week or last year.

 

He is saying we are new creations now. so in a sense, every second, minute, day, week

How do you want this year to turn out or what are your expectations for the year? The year has started rolling out her days; soon we will be counting weeks and months down the year. It is important that we guide it down the path that will be in our favour, and prayer and fasting is one of the tools to use in achieving this. It is a good way to take towards actualizing your desired outcome for this New Year.

Scripture speaks repeatedly of the importance of prayer. We should make it a priority every day to seek God first in prayer. We should never underestimate the power of prayer. Spending time in prayer every morning gives you strength and motivation for the day ahead!

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

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
