The concepts of discipleship and mentoring are found throughout the Bible. However, you won’t find those terms in a concordance. So what are they and why do we need to worry about it?
Our words affect our children. Life-changing Scripture that helped me be a better parent by using my words to build up, not tear down my children.
Titus 2 mentoring is a woman-to-woman mentoring program in which older women equip younger women based on the 7 principles found in Titus 2:3-5.
It is a lie of the devil that we shouldn't judge. To reach people for Jesus and be the church God created it to be, we need to operate in righteous, biblical judging by carefully weighing the evidence of someone's actions against God's Word. The key is being careful who, how, and why we are judging someone. When we judge biblically with pure motives and biblical wisdom, it is an act of love.
God has blessed every Christian with spiritual gifts for the purpose of blessing the church body and bringing Him glory. We have been handed the gift, it is our responsibility to seek God on how, when, where, and in what way to use our gifts to bless our brothers and sisters.
Before coming to know Jesus, many commit sins they later regret. Abortion is often one of those sins. Unfortunately, we treat abortion as if it is the ultimate, unforgivable sin.

Comforting a hurting sister who suffers from chronic illness takes patience and love. We must be mindful of the words we speak and the way they might be taken. Using the power of words to build others up instead of tearing them down.
There are so many lonely people in our church communities. What qualities should you look for in a new Christian friend? God has a lot to say about friendships from the book of Proverbs.
At one time or another, we all attempt to please others more than we worry about pleasing God. An occasional thing isn’t an issue but we can fall into the trap of wanting to be accepted so badly that our priorities get confused. A list of rules I set for myself to be the perfect Christian lady so others would be pleased with me (and why it didn’t work out the way I thought it would).
Love is critical in our lives; we crave to receive and give it. But does God think of love the same way we do? What I learned about love while digging into 1 Corinthians 13.
There is so much more to this chapter than one brother killing another. We learn more about God’s character and the far-reaching devastation of sin. But also, we are reminded again that actions aren’t the only thing that matters to God; attitudes matter too!
