Descriptions


A Study on Rest . . . . . . . "This particular definition of 'rest' isn't used very often in the O.T.
                                        and it's meaning is one of intimate closeness."

A Woman's Place . . . . . . "Please dear lady, do not take on a role that was not designed for you.                                                        Society has taught us to disreguard our different natures and roles. These are                                                 God’s gifts to us! Do not be so foolish as to throw them away.  There are few                                                  things more beautiful than a truly godly woman."

Pure Religion . . . . . . "The end product of pure religion is not to be so shallow as just a fun social
                                       event for us to enjoy. It is serious and has a purpose. It is all about
                                       sacrificial love - not just a warm sympathy. It's to be a consuming,
                                       life changing, purging fire."

Healing Wounds . . . . . "We are wounded in order that we may learn from the Great Physician
                                               how to  bind up wounds and give aid."

 Christian Music?. . . What is truly God honoring music according to the Bible?  How does this                                                        compare with the Christian music of today?

Femininity vs Feminism . . . . .A godly woman is a truly feminine woman.  

Let Us Do Good . . . . . . . What are your motives for helping others? Is it love for our heavenly Father                                                 first?

The Desire of the Eyes . . . . See how pervasive covetousness is.

Self-Righteousness . . . . Are you self-righteous? You may be surprised how deceptive it is.

The Hidden Person . . . Outward adornment is a reflection of the hidden person - the inner heart.
                                                Based on I Pet. 3 and I Tim. 2

Peace . . . . . . Doing the will of another, choosing less, seeking the lowest place, and God's will
                            is the Biblical way to true, lasting peace.

Our Homeschooling Experience . . . .When we began home schooling in 1988, we knew nothing.
                                                                             Advice and encouragement are hopefuly offered through
                                                                             our  experience.

Quiver of Arrows . . . Children are a heritage of the Lord, a blessing. Birth control methods
                                           cause great sorrow and are not part of God's plan.

He Chastens Whom He Loves . . .Suffering is a powerful tool that God allows in a life. He uses
                                                                 it to break us of self and to teach us to rely completely on Him.

Out of Order . . . . . . Most believers are eager to serve God. There is much emphasis placed
                                         on this. However, God first requires that we develop a relationship with Him,
                                        as well as maturity in our faith.

Holy Days . . . . . .  "Holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Lent and Halloween are deeply ingrained                                               into the tradition of our culture.  For this reason it's very difficult
                                  for us to look at them in light of God's Word."

Christian Liberty  . . . . . . . . What the Bible says about liberty in Christ.

"Make Your Calling and Election Sure" . . . . Many stand on mistaken assumptions or false                                                                                       impressions about their salvation. See in scripture God's                                                                                  sovereignty and His choosing.

Hot - Cold - Lukewarm . . . Being middle-of-the-road or a "moderate" in the Christian life is                                                                      dangerous. God wants our all or nothing at all.
                                                 

What Would Jesus Do? . . This phrase subjects the Lord Jesus to the relativism
                                                     of our day and to our sin nature.


The Fear of the Lord . . .The fear of the Lord is a good thing. It means to revere;
                                                 which is to regard with deep respect, love and awe.

"How to Die to Self" . . . Excerpts from "How to Die to Self" by G.D. Watson.
                                                See what dying to self means and the resulting freedom one experiences.
                                             

The Church ~ A People Who Go Forth . . . . . " The way the church is set up to function now can                                              actually usurp the primary burden that each believer should have for reaching                                          the lost. It’s much easier to bring people into various church activities, than it                                            is to be personally responsible to be a light for those we touch on a daily basis. "

Sin in the Sight of God . . . The believer must grow evermore sensitive to their sin in the
                                                      sight of our most holy God.

Understanding the Sovereignty of God and human responsibility  . . . . . There is so much                                                                     confusion about these topics and it is vital to the foundation of our faith
                                             to have a proper understanding of  Who God is, else we are not believing
                                             in the one true God - rather a figment of our imagination.
