Thank you for persevering with me through the book of 1 Peter. I have learned so much through our time together in this study. This last chapter is rich in instruction. But, if I had to choose one word to summarize this chapter (well, really this entire book) it would be the word, peace. Peter […]
Let’s all be honest! Don’t you prefer everything to run smoothly with no heartache, pain, or suffering? It’s much simpler, isn’t it? Nothing to problem-solve or stress over … just calm waters and smooth sailing. Unfortunately, life isn’t like that. It seems that I’m either in the midst of a trial, coming out of one, […]
This week’s WOW Weekly Moment was written by Christin Eschelbach … enjoy! If you are like me, life is busy, busy, busy, and your “To Do List” rules the day, the week, and your state of mind! I have a type “A” personality and there is just something in me that needs to scratch a line through […]
It’s easy to “Do Good” when everyone is for you, isn’t it? But what about when you do a “good thing” and you are criticized, laughed at, or punished for it? Doesn’t that make you want to scream … “THAT’S NOT FAIR!” That’s what I want to do. This week we’ll be studying a passage […]

We decided to make burp cloths as a practical token of God’s love and care for these very […]
I was on Pinterest recently and noticed that there are so many things made of stones. Take a look at some of these very creative and artistic items made from mere stones. It’s amazing to me that something as plain as an old stone or rock can be turned into something so beautiful, different, and useful. […]
Welcome back, precious one! I pray your week has been a blessing. I had such a great time looking at 1 Peter 1:1-12 with you last week and discovering some things that are Precious in His Sight. Didn’t you? Let’s continue our study of this encouraging book by looking at the next portion of Scripture. […]
What or who is precious to you? Oh wait! Let’s define the word first before you answer. As an adjective the word precious is a descriptive term that means highly esteemed or of great value. As a noun, a darling or a dearly beloved person. Now, based on your knowledge and understanding of the word, […]
This week’s testimony of encouragement is a story of God’s ability to take a tragic life experience and pour out His grace on the lives of those He loves. Listen as Trina shares with you … My husband David and I so wanted a baby, but we were having difficulty getting pregnant. We had done […]
