Today, across the United States, people are remembering

those who served in America’s military and lost their life in battle.

I’m especially thankful for those who, through the centuries,

paid the ultimate price for our freedom,

gave the ultimate sacrifice for our liberty,

and provided the ultimate blessing…a nation that is STILL under God and indivisible.

“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” ~ Joshua 1:9  [NLT]

A Mother’s Day Letter to Pastors

Posted on by Evangeline

As we approach Mother’s Day, I remember how difficult was to get through the Day before I overcame infertility, especially at church. I thought this excerpt from Amy Young’s blog would be good food for thought…especially for pastors as they consider their method of honoring mothers during Sunday’s service.

“To those who walk the hard path of infertility, fraught with pokes, prods, tears, and disappointment – we walk with you. Forgive us when we say foolish things. We don’t mean to make this harder than it is.”

Use Your Tongue for Life

Posted on by Evangeline

 

This past weekend, I was privileged to speak at the TCWF Women’s Empowerment Conference. It was striking to hear the response of attendees who were helped by my pointing out the importance and the influence of their words.

 

 

English: This is a tongue
 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

We all need to realize that our words are transporters of power in our lives. Proverbs 18:21 notes that life AND death are in the power of the tongue. When we read and believe words, or when we say and believe words, that leaves an imprint within us that either adds life to our lives or adds death. This death is not necessarily physical but rather it’s a secession or withdrawal of good from our lives. Speaking negatively should be avoided. Speaking negatively can drain us of hope!

 

 

Bible hope means to have a confident expectation of good. So speak hope-filled words, believe your words of hope,  and expect something good to be added to your life today. Jesus said His words are life (John 6:63). Why not agree with His words/promises by saying what He said? Speak and believe God’s words and you’ll be speaking life to your life.

 

 

Make a decision today to use your tongue for  life!
