Feeding the Homeless for Jesus
Lisa Voveris won our annual Missions Giveaway last week. Her mission is “Feeding the Homeless for Jesus,” a ministry that she runs out of her own kitchen. Outside one winter, she was so cold that her legs were hurting. She started thinking about the homeless people who live in tents in her city of Taunton, [...]

I used to long to have a voice to sing. I used to love to even have some sort of voice that would allow me to sing in the church choir. Instead, I have nothing. I can’t hear music, I can’t hear tone, and when I sing my 2-year-old asks me to stop with his hands covering his ears. It makes me sing very very quietly during worship time at church, to be honest.
Testimonies, Blessings & Reminders
We’ve broken off from the norm since August and are listening to the testimonies of various women in the church. So far, I don’t think any of the women have been members of the class. This has been an amazing and wonderful journey for me.
I will Sing a New Song to You, O God
When I’m in my kitchen, I usually have a radio station playing that has a daily lineup of preachers and teachers — David Jeremiah, Alistair Begg, Focus on the Family, some local churches — I enjoy listening to the sermons and conversations. When I’m not listening to that, I’ll have the radio on K-Love, which plays contemporary Christian music. I enjoy many of the songs and love the message in most of the songs.
Coming Out of My Bubble: Serving Others While Serving Food
I have a new venture in my life. One recent morning in Sunday School, our teacher announced that our class would be one of four groups who would be volunteering with a local church’s soup kitchen. That immediately got my attention. I had no idea my little town in central Kentucky had a soup kitchen.
Wholehearted Service
Hundreds of pastors, music leaders, choir members, church goers filled the rooms of our church. They came to meet each other, find old friends, meet new ones, get encouragement, revivement, counsel. And the speakers did not disappoint. They were simply astounding. I cannot even describe it. I was disappointed when I had to leave, sad that the two days were over. I would love to have it go on day after day, even though I understand that it simply cannot. We’re not called to stay amongst ourselves, preaching and practicing holiness — we’re called to be out in the world, living it.

Bible/Book Study – Vote for Your Choice!

So, I’m bringing it to you. I would like to do a Bible/book study that would most benefit you. Knowing who my audience is, I think an awesome place to start would be one of two books by Stormie O’Martin. Both books have been wonderful tools for me, have provided substantial encouragement, and taught me a few things as well.
Martha and Mary
A story in the Bible that has always stood out to me has been the story of Mary and Martha. Mary and Martha were sisters and hosted Jesus and his disciples in their home. In Luke 10:38-42, we read that while Martha prepared the meal and served it, her sister Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to him teach. Martha complained to Jesus that her sister was not helping her, and Jesus gently chastised her because Mary was not wrong in wanting to listen to Jesus’ teaching.
