Advancing God's Kingdom in the Family System
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24: 15-16 (kJV) In Acts 24:15-16, paul reveals three keys to mastering […]
The actions of loved ones, church folks, and unbelievers can leave us feeling offended. When offense lingers long enough, it leads to unforgiveness, bitterness, and a legion of negative emotions and sin. These things are unhealthy for our spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. Most notably, they hinder our prayers. Mark 11:25 (KJV) says, “And when […]
In 2020, God opened up a door of partnership with YouVersion, the Bible App. Since then, I have made it a goal to write one or two devotionals/reading plans monthly. Other members of the Christian Mommas team have also freely contributed devotionals. Together, we have written 25 devotionals/reading plans to encourage our brothers and sisters […]
Offense is a negative emotion that stems from being dishonored, disrespected, or mistreated. We feel offended because of what we think about the actions of others. Consequently, our thoughts are responsible for the negative feeling of offense. While we cannot always control people’s actions, we can learn how to control our response (mentally and emotionally) […]
Some of us lash out in anger, internalize negative emotions, or become bitter when dealing with an offense. All of these coping methods or reactions to offense are damaging, and they can cause a myriad of issues that have lasting effects on our life. Our kids are constantly learning from how we face challenges, lead, persevere, […]
Last Sunday was Grandparent’s Day, and I am here to play catch-up. Godly Grandparents are a blessing to every family. I admire their wisdom, patience, and love. Today and everyday, I celebrate the little ones’ grandparents. When parents honor grandparents, they cultivate a transgenerational culture of honor. Exodus 20:12 (KJV) Honour thy father and thy […]
One of the gifts that God has given me is a gift of exhortation. I enjoy encouraging people from all walks of life. As I have continually used my gift, I have found that when I face difficult times, when I have needed a lot of encouragement, God has become the ULTIMATE ENCOURAGER. No one […]
September is Infant Mortality Awareness Month. Infant mortality is the death of a child before the first birthday or first year of life. Premature birth is one of the leading causes of Infant Mortality. Whenever you see a preemie, know that you are seeing a miracle. While I have read scholarly articles to educate myself […]
Deuteronomy 8:11 (NLT) But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the LORD your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today. This year, it is more evident that many have forgotten. While grieving the state of the United States, […]
Hi friends, Since the beginning of the week, I have been refueling at my local church’s Summer camp meeting. Today, I realized I could get more people to drink with me and get the fire burning in more places. If you are hungry for something more, please connect with us online 7 PM EST tonight, […]
Whether we realize it or not, most families have been touched by abortion. It is … Modern Day Well: the Coffee shop
God is amazing! He provides us with glimpses of His character through our friends and relationships. We can see His nature reflected in the eyes of those who come in and out of our lives. A few nights ago, I explained to my daughter, “there are friends that stick closer than a brother or sister, […]

And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25 (NLT) They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—all the […]
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)~ In every thing, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. As a parent, I am learning to give thanks for everything because it shifts my mindset and helps me master negative emotions. Much more than that, it is God’s will for me to give […]
And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. As the church submits to Christ, so you […]

You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have […]
