Editor’s Note:We’re doing something a bit unique for CFYC this month. Normally we’re all about women encouraging women, but this month, we decided to shake things up a little. We’ve invited some godly brothers in the faith to give us their two cents. What would these men say to a captive audience of their sisters in Christ if they had the opportunity? What do they think we need to know?  [ Read More ]

We’re pilgrims on the journey Of the narrow road, And those who’ve gone before us line the way Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary; Their lives a stirring testament to God’s sustaining grace. Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses Let us run the race not only for the prize, But as those who’ve gone before us. Let us leave to those behind us The heritage of faithfulness  [ Read More ]

I’ve only sung “In Christ Alone” once while visiting another congregation. Yet, its beautiful melody and even more impacting lyrics have found their way onto my list of favorite spiritual songs. I could never pick just one! “In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song. This Cornerstone, this solid ground; Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

When I was in college I fell into a pit of sin. Ugly, nasty, and vile, it was just as disgusting as you can imagine. One thing I knew as I began to drag myself out was that I couldn’t do it without God and so I made a commitment between two of my morning classes that I would spend one hour in one of the private study rooms in  [ Read More ]

Aren’t there women we’ve come across in our lives who manage to dry up every speck of happiness in their circle of influence? Let’s just get this ugly part out of the way first, because we can learn just as much from a negative example as we can from someone positive. So, why not  [ Read More ]

When the book of Philippians was introduced to me, I heard of the history of Paul’s struggles to bring this congregation into being. Paul had cast a demon out of a slave girl who had been bringing in money for divination. When her masters learned she would no longer bring them money in this way, they had Paul and Silas beaten and thrown in prison(Acts 16). But what was it  [ Read More ]
