The Bible Knowledge Commentary says on Proverbs 12:4: “A wife of noble character is like a crown on her husband’s head, that is, her strength of character (ḥayil is lit., “strength”) makes her husband pro

“They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he fell asleep.” (Acts 7:59-60 NASB)
Stephen prayed this prayer just as Jesus had done on the Cross. These may be two of the most powerful and purest requests ever made of God.
A prayer of forgiveness is always against human nature. It is normal to want to give

What makes you a leader?
Is it your gift to teach, your gift to preach or the charismatic way that you present yourself?
Maybe it's your flashy business card, your awesome website or the fact that your videos have been seen on the internet so many times.
Is this what makes a true leader?
No, what makes a true leader is the heart to serve. Not serve oneself, but serve others.
I find that in my daily Christian walk, I've encountered more titles than leaders, this is a very sad

‘You made my day!’
I want to have a sweet spirit.
Nobody wants to be around a grouch.
Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch is a well known fictional character.
I wonder if the creator had someone in mind.
Did he search the Scriptures?
Was Nabal on his mind?
David’s men made a reasonable request. The grouch refused.
“When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal in accordance with all these words in David’s name; then they waited. But Nabal answered David’s s

I’m tired of the rain. To be more specific, I’m tired of walking through the mud in our front yard. The same rain has led to flash flood watches and warnings in our area. Yet, showers are a blessing.
“I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing. Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their la
Geez, all through his ministry, people were trying to trap Jesus, the Sadducees and the Pharisees and Judas trapped him in the garden, and the Roman official stuff They had him trapped on the cross. But Jesus was always the one even when they thought they had him. They never really had him because he was always in control. Even on the cross, there were over 300 Messianic prophecies that Jesus fulfilled in his life and in his death, and so Jesus was Jesus was never really trapped, see here. He i
Almost every man believes in one thing or personality or the other. No matter what, you have faith in someone or something. You can convince that you don't believe in anything or anyone and I will agree with you if you do not have a handset (mobile phone) or you do not ride any vehicle.
Whatever might be the brand of the mobile phone or vehicle that you ride, you believe in the product that it will work for you. You have faith in it. Do you know that it is possible for
As men, our righteous pride begins with our pride in God. We don't want to be proud of God just in our hearts, we want to let everyone know how proud of God we are. I believe that the Psalms 44:8 passage also shows that there is some kind of connection between being thankful to God and boasting in him. It seems to me that boasting about ourselves and being thankful to God tend to be mutually exclusive:
"But the one who boasts must boast in the Lord." (2 Corinthians 10:17)

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."
I nag; I complain.
I confess.
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power] (James 5:16 AMP).”
Why do I nag and complain?
“For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them
