The Bible talks about the value of a virtuous woman, and for a man to find one he must pursue virtue himself through Christ. When a woman is found to be virtuous and honoring God in the way she cares for her family, she should be publicly recognized by each of her family members.

We see on TV the mansions and houses of rich people but the truth is that the most expensive “Crib” on the planet is us as believers. God gave His Son so that He can take residence in us even though our lives are messy. That is exactly how God wants us to come to Him so that He can do the work to make us clean.

The devil started his entire interaction with human beings by planting seeds of doubt for what God really said. Throughout Biblical history people have had to come to a place where they choose to keep doubting or trust and believe. We must do the same, allowing ourselves to bring our questions to God and then coming to a place of deciding what we will put our faith into.

We live in a fallen world where racism, sexism, prejudice and other sins are commonplace, yet God calls us to take of the lens of the world and see each person equally. We may have different responsibilities, but every one of us was created in God’s image and has value given to us by Him.

Too many people think that once they are saved their lives should be all good from then on. The reality is that sanctification kicks in and begins undoing our lives in such a way that tears out all the unnecessary parts so that God can rebuild us to best please Him.

It’s easy to overlook new Christians and put expectations on them to live and act in certain ways. They will not meet those expectations because they are just baby Christians and they need our help and guidance by feeding them spiritual milk until they are ready for solid food.

Too many Christians live off of the frozen fruit in their lives, acting like religious believers but not having God’s work actively present in changing them from the inside out. When we stay connected to Him, as a branch is connected to the vine, He does all the work in our lives that continues to produce fresh spiritual fruit.

It does not matter where we’ve come from and the mistakes that we’ve made in the past. God wants to give us a new life and write a new story for our future if we would just give our lives over to Him.

We need to be fully present where God has placed us and focused on where He is moving us forward. Rather than being like a fish who jumps out of an aquarium because they think it’s better on the other side, we need to be content where God has put us because it is there that He provides all that we need.

As believers, we are representations of the change that God can make in someone’s life and we need to be willing to share His message of truth with others. When we spread the Gospel we are making war on hell and it will not be easy, but it is what God has called us to do so He will give us the strength to do it.
