CHRISTIAN BLOGS FOR WOMEN

I listen to Christian radio stations that are listener funded. Twice a year, these stations have a fundraiser to raise their operating budget. During this time, I've heard the radio announcer ask people to make their "best gift." Basically, he encourages listeners to give as much as they can to help out the radio station. Spiritually speaking, our Heavenly Father has already given us His "best gift"--Jesus Christ! This Gift was not wrapped in fine linen or purple silk. It wa

Have you ever waited a long time for God to answer your prayer? I have. Actually, I've been waiting years for God to answer a couple of my prayers. In the long dry season, it's easy to get discouraged. Knowing God is more than able to change the situation, and yet He doesn't, can be frustrating to the human mind. I was speaking to a friend about this very subject, and she reminded me of this verse. It is John 16:33, "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me

Have you ever felt that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong? Everywhere you turn, something else bad has happened. You feel you can't get a break. When you pray to ask God for help, you feel like heaven is closed and your prayers are not reaching above the ceiling. It's in these vulnerable moments that satan will come in and sow seeds of doubt. He will even go so far as to tell you that God doesn't care, because if He cared, He would change your situation. Take hear

In Luke 17:12-19, we read how Jesus mercifully healed ten men who were lepers. Back in those days, lepers were outcasts of society. They were not allowed to be around others for fear of spreading the disease. These men saw Jesus as the way out of their wretched situation. Jesus told them to go show themselves to the priests, for they were the ones who could pronounce the men "clean." As they went, they were all healed. Only one of the men returned to thank Jesus for healing h

Can any of us say that we have never changed? No. The human existence is a series of growth, change, and maturity. We start as an infant and grow into an adult. We learn new things and gain wisdom. God, our Creator, is the One Who does not change. The Bible says in Malachi 3:6, " For I am the Lord, I change not..." God is an eternal being. He does not gain more wisdom as He goes. He is already omniscient and knows everything about everything! Nothing catches Him by surprise.

In the wee hours of the morning, a young mother is about to deliver her first child, but something is wrong. The doctors won't tell her what the complication is, but they tell her husband that the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck. The child could suffocate. Her husband begins desperate prayer. When he comes back after prayer, the cord has slipped off of the baby's neck, and everything is going well. God had a purpose for that baby to be born and live here on t

Ladies, have you ever wished you had a maid to cook and clean for you? I would love to have someone to focus on all of the things that I do not want to do around the house. Men, have you ever wished you had a butler that could run all of your errands for you? These "servants" help make the lives of others easier. As Christians, we are called upon to follow the example of Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Mark 10:45 , " For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve

Suffering. All around the world people are suffering. Some suffer with hunger. Others have addictions. Some suffer with diseases or afflictions. Many struggle with poverty and having the basic necessities of life. According to Webster, suffering, " implies conscious endurance of pain or distress." As a Christian, suffering is inevitable. It will be a part of your story, whether you are prepared for its coming or not. The question is, how will you deal with suffering in your
