United in the Nature of God

Isn’t it amazing to know Jesus himself prayed for US to be united together as one, just as He and the Father are one (John 17:20-23)! He even prayed that we would be made complete and perfect AS ONE, so we would be witnesses to the world! When we unite, we reveal God to the world around us. Psalm 133 tells us that God commands His blessing where there is unity! Building relationships and operating in unity takes effort on ...

Unity in the Family of God

As believers, we are the family of God. The Bible also refers to us as the Church, the body of Christ and the children of God. That makes us ALL vital and very important to the heart of God! We are His chosen, called out and SPECIAL people. We are ALL sons (and daughters!) of God through faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26). As in all families, we are different in many ways. To function properly, we must learn to ...

Unity Encourages Others

Do you have someone in your life who has spoken words of encouragement to you?  If so, how did it make you feel?  Encouragement brings us hope, confidence and support when we need it the most.  The Bible calls us to encourage one another (read 1 Thess. 5:11), but this can only happen when we unite our lives together!   In Acts 18:1-3, we discover a married couple named Aquila and Priscilla, who met Paul in the marketplace in Corinth.  Immediately, their friendship grew because they united together in their work making tents and even living together!  In verse 11, we read that Paul taught his new friends the Word and ...

Unity Leaves a Legacy

Have you ever really considered the blessings and benefits that take place when we unite together for God’s purposes? In the Book of Judges, chapters 4 and 5, we meet two people who definitely united together for God’s purposes. Their names are Deborah and Barak. Deborah was a wife, a judge and a prophetess, who ruled over Israel for forty years. She was a wise leader, with an excellent reputation. As a prophetess, she heard from God and heeded His ...

The Trap of Offenses

Have you ever been hurt by an offensive word or action taken by someone else? Most of us have at one time or another! Even when we desire unity, some things seem to hinder our efforts. The opportunity to be offended will come, and sometimes more often than we like. How we respond to offenses is important to our relationships as we seek to unite with others. Holding on to offenses can cause a progressive, downward spiral in our lives ...

Traps of Worldliness

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by the cares of this world that you are no longer hearing from God? Our daily routines in life can become so busy and overcrowded that we have little or no time to seek Him as we should. Many things in this world compete for our attention, and we can easily be led astray by the many distractions and hindrances that we face. In Mark 4:19, Jesus warns that “the worries of this life, ...

The Trap of Insecurity

We know that God desires us in the body of Christ to live together in unity, but many things hinder that from happening. One tactic of the enemy is INSECURITY, which can cause division and destruction in relationships. Feelings of self-doubt and lack of confidence can overwhelm us, causing us to lose focus on God’s plan for our lives. The enemy uses insecurity to try and stop us from uniting and being effective for God. We can recognize insecurity in ...

The Power of Unity

Have you ever thought about the power that unity with others can bring into our lives? There’s incredible power in uniting with Godly people along our journey. Unfortunately, too often, when we face challenges in life, our human nature wants to withdraw and isolate. But, when we take the courageous step to unite with godly people around us, God brings strength, healing, and blessings into our lives. The power of unity is illustrated so beautifully in the story of Ruth ...

Unity in Family Relationships

We have the power to bring unity or division into our family relationships…But, have you ever noticed that family relationships can be a bit complicated at times? The mix of different personalities, opinions and issues can be hard to navigate. As women, our role in the family has a strong influence on those around us. It will be positive or negative; the choice is up to us. As moms, we want to train up our children in the ways of ...

Be Wise Build Strong

Most of us would agree that all marriages face occasional conflict. How we handle conflict is crucial in building a strong, healthy marriage. Since men and women are different on so many levels, it's important to work through issues as they arise. Let's consider a few common challenges that couples may face from time to time. Communication: It's important to talk and listen to one another calmly and not when you want to explode. Try to understand what your spouse ...

Her Story

Hannah’s Story

I have had the privilege of growing up in a Christian home. I went to church every week and mostly thought of it as the place where I could get free prizes after service. I relied on my parent's walk with God instead of my own, and I didn't realize it until I got to middle school. My youth pastor at the time asked me, "Why do you believe what you believe?" To be honest, I didn't know how to ...

Esther’s Story

My husband and I married in 2000. We agreed to wait two years to enjoy our marriage and settle in before trying to have children. Once we started, we expected to get pregnant easily. The first year went by and no pregnancy. We figured it wasn’t anything to worry about. Sometimes it takes longer to get pregnant. Two more years went by. Still no baby. We decided to see our doctor, who determined nothing was wrong. We kept trying. Year ...

Heather’s Story

Being a mother has always been a big part of what I felt was my calling in life. God placed a passion for nurturing inside my heart, and I'd always dreamed that one day it would lead to me having a family. My husband Cory and I were married at 19, and we struggled financially in the beginning. We wanted a baby very much, but we knew that it would not be wise to start a family when we struggled ...

Liz’s Story

My story is not uncommon, but it is one that I have determined will give God glory and be used to help others who have a similar story. I was raised in church. My dad constantly told me to “wait” for marriage… that I was worth the wait, and that God had something better than my wildest dreams in store for me. But all of that came crashing down when, in my 6th grade classroom, I was sexually assaulted in ...

Calli’s Story

Girlfriends… for some women they come easy, but for me they always seemed like too much risk. Growing up, I saw my parents’ relationship with God everyday, but I never really figured out how to make that relationship my own. Because of that, I often pushed God to the side. I loved Him, but never pursued him, not realizing I was depriving myself of the healing His love and acceptance brings. Like many girls, I found myself on the outside ...

Jessica’s Story

My name is Jessica, and I'm 16 years old. Growing up, I wanted nothing more than to find unconditional love, affirmation and stability. Whether it was in my family or with others around me, my relationships were far from perfect, and there was a void in my heart that I desperately wanted to fill. At one point, I was even diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I began taking medication, but it was trial and error... the doctors kept changing the ...
