Avoiding Weariness

As we go about our daily lives, it is not unusual for us to feel tired every once in a while.  After all, there is certainly much that can be accomplished in each day.  The body will naturally become fatigued, and as such, will need rest.  This truth was even found in the life of

Serving God And Others

Being a Christian is a wonderful thing!  Having the forgiveness of sins, having been born again, and having fellowship with God and other Christians are just some of the reasons that living the life of a child of God is so fantastic.  However, being a Christian also means that I am supposed to “deny self”

Growing In Christ – Part Three

               With the maturation of a child of God, there should be the desire to become more and more like Christ.  Paul explained this when he wrote, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not

As a Nurse Cherisheth Her Children

When one studies the works of the apostle Paul, it becomes very apparent that he had a great deal of concern and love for the ones with which he worked.

Did You “Eat” Your “Let Us”?

Obviously, the title of this article is a play on words. From the time that a child is weaned, parents have the opportunity to introduce different foods to the diet. Often times it is not difficult for the child to enjoy foods that are sweet and tasty. However, the introduction of certain vegetables might be

Are We Truly Servants?

From time to time, we have different jobs that need to be done. Sometimes we might delay doing certain works because of the difficulty or degree of uncleanness. If we are not careful, then we might have this happen in our service, or lack thereof, to Christ. Long ago, Jesus took the opportunity to teach

More Blessed To Give

As we enter into the month of November, we are closing in on a time of year when people will be giving gifts to those that they love. While it is nice to give to our family and friends, we should never lose sight that there are others outside of our families and circle of
