Thanks to Netflix and Clearplay, my family and I recently sat down to watch the movie “Rudy,” an inspiring drama based on a true story of a young man with a passion for football. All young Rudy Ruettiger wanted was to attend Notre Dame, the famous university that was the home of Rudy’s favorite football team, the Fighting Irish. More than anything, Rudy longed to play on the team he [ Read More ]
“Be careful how you live; you will be the only Bible some people ever read.” –William J. Toms This quote reminds me of one of my favorite verses in the Bible which is 1 Peter 4:11: “Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God [ Read More ]
A couple weeks ago I was driving the church van because my normal, look-like-everyone-else van was in West Virginia with my husband. As I was driving, I noticed that when I came to a stop sign, it was a complete stop, I wasn’t speeding (which didn’t make people happy) and was more cautious about when I turned down a different road. It made me think and question-“Why?” Well, on the [ Read More ]
Recently my husband made a comment to me that inspired this challenge. I was chatting away with “strangers” on an online home school group. My husband walked by and said, “I don’t understand how you can spend so much time talking to people you don’t know on the internet, when we don’t even know all of the people that live on our street.” Ouch. But he’s right. Our lives have [ Read More ]
In my Bible class a few weeks ago, we talked about how we need to have faith in God and how we should show that faith. Faith isn’t just something we say we have; it must be a working faith (James 2:14-26). We talked about our lives here on this earth and how we have a couple of choices as to how we are going to show our faith in [ Read More ]
When I volunteered to write this book review, I had just finished reading the book and had ordered two more copies. As I write this, I don’t actually have the book to reference because we gave away all of our copies (we ordered nine more copies today), so this is probably going to be more of a “convincing argument for reading the book” rather than a “book review.” Muscle and [ Read More ]
The Word of Truth was spoken at the beginning of time. It was spoken as a command, “Let there be…” The result was Creation. Interesting, to say the least! The Word of Truth was spoken by the Father to His Son, “For I have not spoken on my own authority… What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me” (John 12:49, 50). Here again, it was spoken [ Read More ]

It amazes me how often I am asked this question, and much of the time it is by sisters who have been Christians for several decades. It warms my heart to see sisters in every phase of their life desire a deeper understanding of God’s Word. Oftentimes these women are concerned and afraid that because they are not Greek scholars, and have not been through formal Bible training, they cannot [ Read More ]
Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognized the person looking back at you? I’m not talking about that “Wow, I look old today” moment. Of course you always recognize yourself! I don’t stand there trying to figure out who that person is looking back at me; I recognize me because I know me. I can describe “me” probably better than anyone else because I know everything about [ Read More ]
