In this series, we’re aiming to expose the meaning in some commonly used scriptures. They’re heavy on application and sometimes we forget to really look at the meaning behind the scriptures commanding women to dress modestly. Last week we discussed 1 Peter 3:3-6 and examined our attitudes about beauty’s source. This week, we’re looking at 1 Timothy 2:9, 10. So, without further ado, let’s dive in! The first step in  [ Read More ]

If we teach our children to know the truth, we will lead them to Jesus; If we teach our children to love the truth, they will lead others to Jesus. ~Nicci Leonard My family has grown to love Focal Point, a yearly Preacher’s Workshop, as it gives us a chance to recharge our batteries and help us be prepared to go back into the fields to work.

At the end of the gospel of Matthew, the Great Commission is recorded. It says, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (28:19).” Sometimes as women we find it difficult to “go” during our busy, day-to-day lives. I am pleased to announce that Come Fill Your Cup is starting a new feature  [ Read More ]

“Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). To delight is to please greatly, something in which we take great pleasure. So how do we delight ourselves in the Lord? Allow God’s word to teach us how. “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:2). “I will  [ Read More ]

When we talk about modesty– assuming we’re not lamenting the lack of modesty in society at large– we’re usually doing one of two things: talking about how immodesty causes our brothers to stumble, or how to be modest yet fashionable. While these are worthwhile discussions, it seems we often neglect to examine the actual scriptures on the subject. We read them as an obligatory part of the conversation but don’t  [ Read More ]

God makes many promises in the Bible, and the ones particularly pertaining to His children are the ones that we sometimes have trouble accepting! Why is that? Simply put, we are to trust the Lord and obey Him. In return, we can know that He will accomplish everything He told us He would do. Sometimes, I think we find it difficult to really, really understand when God makes these wonderful  [ Read More ]

One of the greatest joys I have as a mother is watching my children getting along. When they share their toys without hesitation, give each other a hug without being told, or snuggle up to one another, my heart swells with pride. But, some of the greatest frustrations I have are watching my children argue over an object, cry because their sister hurt their feelings, or say horrible things to  [ Read More ]

We think about being good stewards of our money, of the land, our homes, even our children, but what about our bodies? Oh yes, you may be thinking, “I am a good steward of my body…I keep my body pure from sexual immorality and I dress modestly.” But are you being a good steward of your body with the foods you put into it? Are you harming your body by  [ Read More ]
