Women

I really hate how lies sneak in and demand to be heard. All the while forcing us to put on a brave face, pretending that all is good, when the battle rages on inside, capturing our thoughts, ransoming our hearts, and staking claims to our souls. Friends, we have to fight, and it starts with a simple word - no! No, we will not entertain the enemy and let lies today.

How can we get on the same page as husbands and wives, communicating better so that we can work together? Read on for seven ideas.

Senior and seasoned women in the church hold such powerful blessings for younger women! Far too often, we are unaware of the life-changing blessing we can be to others. Just a handful of the right words can inspire hope and faith in a younger woman that spills over into her family and kingdom calling. 

Satan knows that when God’s people are caught in sexual sin it renders them powerless for the Kingdom. So he works overtime to seduce Christians to sin sexually.

To be hidden with Christ is to identify with Him so completely that our personal feelings don’t dictate our actions, and we don’t care about our image or reputation anymore.

Instead of resigning themselves to take less of a role in church ministry, women over 50 can engage in some great ministries that not only benefit them, but the local body as a whole.

Mental Health recovery isn't a one-size fits all solution. It takes time. It takes adaptation. And it takes realizing that sometimes what worked yesterday for our anxiety or depression might not work today. We are incredibly complex and dynamic creatures hand-crafted in the image of God, so why should we try to limit how we can heal?

The pain of losing a dear friend is unbearable, but after being stabbed in the back by a trusted confidant, choosing a friend becomes more cautious. What are some biblical directives for avoiding being or making fake, self-absorbed friends?

Regardless of the circumstance, every mother needs someone to come alongside them and bring encouragement. Here are seven things we can say and do today to bring encouragement to the mothers we encounter.

It always amazes me how much “stuff” and “junk” we accumulate. I had this experience recently when we hired a junk company to come and pick up some things that we couldn’t put in the dumpster. We had quite a bit of old electronics and other odds and ends. After the junk company took it away, I felt a weight being lifted off me. 

Jesus saw a woman who took a huge risk to get close enough to Him to experience His healing. He saw a woman who longed for the healing only God can give. What can we learn from this woman? 

God’s Word helps shed some light that can show us how to cultivate a healthier relationship with our flesh and bones. Our bodies are vessels given to us by our Creator. They both serve us and, at other times, fail us, as we have been given a fragile form to take while on this earth. Thankfully, God can help us find peace in every season that we experience here in the land of the living.

Friends are people who are placed in our lives as extended family. They are with us through trials and tribulations. They're there for fun times, to extend advice. A friend is someone you can be your authentic self with. They are someone you can trust and someone who trusts you. They provide companionship to help avoid loneliness. Friends wear many hats and play many roles. So it would seem preposterous to envy their good fortune, right? Well, unfortunately, this happens more often than not. Sometimes it's a conscious thing done for different reasons. Other times it's done subconsciously. Whether we want to admit it or not, we've all glared at a friend with the green-eyed monster for something, knowing that we shouldn't have. When anything good occurs in a friend's life, it should be celebrated by other friends with a pure heart and a clear mind. If you find yourself struggling with being envious of a friend's prosperity, look at the list below to discover simple ways to replace envy with joy.

Women’s silence in the church does not apply to us today because the gift of tongues has ceased in the modern era. Women are free to speak, ask questions, and teach other believers within the church.

Throughout the Gospels, we see story after story of Jesus reaching out to those who were hurting. He healed the sick. He performed miracles. He delivered people from demonic spirits. Yet He didn’t always do things in the timing or the way that many would think best. I love it when God works outside our own box of thinking. He reaches across social and cultural boundaries to the soul in need, bringing restoration from brokenness and hope for a fresh start. That’s what he did in

Have you ever questioned if God loves you? When trials mount, discouragement hits, a full schedule overwhelms, or when you simply don’t feel loved, it’s good to turn to the Bible—God’s truth—to help remember God loves you.

If there is something we can learn from Tamar's story—it is this: life does go on after assault. We are not defined by this. We are so much more than our negative experiences.

Only two women are named in Hebrews 11’s “Hall of Faith”: Sarah, the wife of Abraham, and Rahab, the harlot of Jericho. Humanly speaking, Sarah and Rahab had nothing in common, but they both had exercised saving faith in the true and living God.

It’s easy to quickly judge generations and choices, but it’s not our duty. The one thing we can be certain about time is that it’s fleeting, and our time to love on people in the name of Jesus is limited.

A woman is the first to describe her encounters with a risen Jesus in an era when women were often misunderstood and ignored. Yet, she was the first person Jesus commissioned to share the Good News of his resurrection.
