8 Christian Meditation Tips for Busy Mothers

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on May 22, 2015 at 12:33am

by Rhonda Jones

Motherhood is not easy, and at times it feels like the to-do-list just keeps on getting longer every single day making it difficult for us to experience true joy and peace that can be found in God, our children as well as the Gospel. "A mother's work is unending", the old proverb goes. There is much joy to found in the process of raising our kids, but it is so often the case that this joy is laced with frustrations and exhaustion.

The importance of the faith is never lost on Chri

In this fast-paced and success-driven society, it's so easy to lose track of your faith and place it on the sidelines in favor of the more "pressing" matters in life. However, you soon realize that living life as if you're on auto-pilot and not taking the time to strengthen your spirituality can be damaging not only to your spirit but also on your health.

If you feel like something's not right or something's missing in your life, it may be time to stop the current pace of

Have you ever been in a situation, where you have been praying about certain circumstances, and your faith levels are high. However when you don't see the manifestation of that situation you start to doubt? Then you hear a Word or read a passage of scripture and miraculously your faith levels are high again, however you're still waiting for the manifestation and now you're starting to doubt again.

I have done this on many occasions. I call this yo-yo faith, because one minut

Each morning for the past five years, before most of his aides have arrived at the White House, President Barack Obama has read a devotional sent to his BlackBerry, weaving together biblical scripture with reflections from literary and cultural figures.

Joshua DuBois, an informal spiritual adviser to Obama who ran the White House faith-based office until earlier this year, writes the devotionals for Obama and has compiled many of them in a forthcoming book, "The President's Devotional," to

Devotional: Persistent and Patient

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on October 12, 2013 at 10:43am

by Pam Ford Davis

The Lord is persistent; He does not want any to perish.

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9NKJ)."

God is at work.

He confronts me about my sin. Romans 3:23

He convicts me of my sin. Luke 18:13

He cleanses me of my sin. 1 John 1: 9

He calls for consecration. 1Chron.29:5b/Rom.12:1-2

He commissions me for ministry. Matthew 28:18-20

Devotional: Foolishness or Faith?

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on September 16, 2013 at 9:47am

by Pam Ford Davis

Foolishness or faith? Decide for yourself. It is all in the way you perceive reality. In the scope of eternity, it was not that long ago that people believed the earth was flat. I would say there is a marked difference between flat and round. Society largely rejected the claims of it being round as foolishness.

Is it foolish to see an instrument of death as the means to everlasting life? We cling to Calvary's cross. "I know very well how foolish it sounds to those who are lost

How God Do It Devotional Thought

For many musicians music is a very effective means to a variety of ends. For some, music is primarily a means of acquiring money, fame, status, etc. For others, music is most importantly a means of creative expression for the purpose of empowerment and societal impact. Of course, there are various hybrids of these goals for almost everyone, and yet for believers in the Lord Jesus another more weighty element comes into view—the glory of God. This latter idea b

The Five Man Electrical Group, based in Canada, had a popular song in the 1970's. "Signs" had a catchy tune and an ironic theme. Signs are everywhere and some have a way of restricting our freedoms. If we see signs reading "Posted-No Trespassing," we are not free to enter that property. The owner of the land can legally place charges against anyone who trespasses, purposely violating the posted sign.

How many times a day do I trespass against the Lord and others?

Jehoshaphat dropped his head and gazed at the mosaic floor of his chamber, the messengers' words still ringing in his ears, "A vast army is coming against you from Edom." This was a situation he'd feared for so long. He had dreaded an attack from the Moabites and Ammonites and now it was happening. Slowly raising his head the king knew there was only one thing to do: enquire of Yahweh. Jehoshaphat called for a fast and prayed, "O LORD, God of our fathers, are you not the God who is in heaven?

We pay little attention to stage production spotlights. We would be more likely to note their absence; yet, the spotlight focuses our attention on the leading character. Directors, in particular, want stagehands to flood the stage as curtains open for final bows. "Bravo!" I visualize God the Father directing the scene as John the Baptist baptized Jesus.

"As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, he saw heaven opening and the Spirit coming down on him like a dove. And a voic

Have You Really Experienced Christ's Freedom?

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on July 11, 2013 at 12:14pm

by Stephanie Reck

Have you truly experienced Christ's freedom? You might say, "what does God's freedom look like?' If you are free in Christ you are not bound by people's opinion or approval of you; you follow Christ not man's desires for you; you are not bound by guilt and condemnation; and you are not bound by religion.

You have been free to have a personal, intimate walk with Christ. You are able to say, "No" to others easily if you feel God is leading you elsewhere or you don't have peace i

"How do you do it?" You watch a slight-of-hand entertainer as he performs astounding tricks for mesmerized crowds. Following the program, you shake his hand and ask, "How do you do it?" He is not about to give away his trade secrets. Jesus did not perform magic tricks; he performed miracles. Followers, critics and seekers wondered how he did it.

Have you ever wondered why your faith seems not to be working? It can be very frustrating exercising your faith and getting nothing. But the truth remains that faith can only work through love. This article explains why faith works by love.
