Speaker: Sharon Routt

Simple Forgiveness

SharonRoutt went through an unwanted divorce and learned firsthand the truth aboutforgiving. Knowing that God wouldn’trequire something of her that wasn’t good, she discovered the healing power offorgiveness. Her 25 years of working in human services (American Red CrossService to Military Families, Traveler’s Aid, Alzheimer’s Association, Woman’sAglow, a teen shelter and churches) and observing people with emotional pain helpedher realized that many people accept unforgiveness as normal. Sadly, they don’teven consider the benefits of forgiving. It is now her passion to share thisinformation with others so they too can live emotionally healthy lives. She andher husband co-teach a Choices DivorceRecovery Workshop and witness changed lives when forgiveness is embraced.

Moments for Mothers: A Parent's Toughest Job

2011-10-21T15:38:00.000-07:00

- A Parent’s Toughest Job –

Matthew 19:13, “Little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray”
__________________

I know first-hand how challenging parenting can be in raising a family, as my wife and I, raised two boys, both of which were a hand full. To borrow the old Army slogan “It’s the toughest job you’ll ever love!” I know that I love being a parent but it’s a tough job and definitely the most demanding and rewarding job of all times. It starts from the minute you learn you’re going to be a mother and father and will last for the rest of your life taking you on a ride like nothing you have ever experienced before. There will be many wonderful and frustrating times as well as emergencies and surprises along the way. Raising a family in today’s hectic world is definitely a challenge. Parents must learn to be financial managers, chefs, housekeepers; maintenance experts, educators and diplomats — and they must balance all those roles with being loving caretakers for their children. Add to that the additional challenges of maintaining relationships and careers and it’s a wonder that any parent can keep their sanity. While today’s parents face even more challenges than their parents they also have a vast selection of support services and information available their parents never dreamed could exist. However, the best source of information concerning parenting is found in God’s Word. As dedicated parents, we spend much of our time supporting, encouraging, instructing, protecting, and challenging our children. Moreover, sometimes all that steering and urging seems ineffective when the child starts to veer off course. That’s when being a parent is “really hard work”. If you find yourself there, some biblical parent-child principles can help you, such as:

(1) Parents must teach God’s truth (Deuteronomy 4:9; 32:46). Your home needs to be a place where you serve one another through God’s love – Galatians 5:13. Children do not learn to love and obey God only by what we say. They also learn by watching what we do. We are to teach them constantly about God and His Word as we “sit in our house, when we walk by the way, when we lie down, and when we rise up. Along with that we must set an example by our love and obedience to the Lord.

(2) If they do something that is wrong, let them know it’s their behavior you dislike, not them.
(3) Parents should not frustrate their children (Ephesians 6:4).
(4) Parents wise decisions bring blessing to their children (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).
(5) Parents who are godly teach their children to obey (Ephesians 6:1; 1 Timothy 3:4).

(6) Parents must lovingly discipline children because they are immature and need guidance. Proverbs 29:15, "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame"

(7) Parents who faithfully train their children can be confident that their efforts are not in vain. Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it"

(8) Above all, pray for them. They may seem confident on the outside but feel weak on the inside. Matthew 19:13, “Little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray.” Wrap them in prayer, as Jesus did (Matthew 19:13-15), is a powerful alternative. He cares more about our children then we do, so we can release them into His hands by praying for them. He doesn’t promise us that nothing bad will happen to them. But as we pray, He will give us the peace we long for (Philippians 4:6-7). This challenge is for all parents, even those whose children have grown up: Don’t ever stop wrapping your children in prayer!

(9) Lastly, one portion of Scripture that provides great instruction in this area is found in Proverbs 2. Although addressing the son, this passage can also serve, as a guide to what parents should teach their children. According to this passage, children must be taught to treasure God’s commands (Proverbs 2:1), to call out for understanding (v. 3), to grasp what it means to fear the Lord (v. 5), and to practice God’s wisdom in their lives (v. 6).
__________________

Closing thoughts:

As parents, we must keep in mind our children are smart and learn by listening and watching; thus are we setting the right kind of example for them to emulate. They will compare our actions with our words to see if we practice what we say. If not, your children will be confused not knowing what to follow, your actions or your words. Are you living for Christ in such a way that you want your children to imitate you? The Bible is by far your richest and best resource to help you raise children who will know and love Jesus Christ. Nothing is more essential than “the Holy Scriptures” to equip them for all of life’s challenges. Remember that children may not inherit your talents, but will most certainly absorb your values! An unknown author put it this way:

A careful man I ought to be; a little fellow follows me.
I do not dare to go astray, for fear he’ll go the selfsame way.
Not once can I escape his eyes; whatever he sees me do, he tries.
Like me he says he’s going to be – that little chap who follows me.
So I must remember as I go, through summer sun and winter snow;
I’m molding for the years to be – that little chap who follows me.

Moments for Mothers: Getting Through the Maze of L.I.F.E.

2011-10-21T15:34:00.000-07:00

Getting Through the Maze of L.I.F.E

by Elva Chandra

Living each and every day may feel like wandering inside a maze looking for the exit. Not knowing whether we should turn right or left at the junction, we choose to depend on our instincts. If we're lucky enough, we'll find a promising path or else dead ends are unavoidable.

Now as a Christian, I often think shouldn't we get a better life than that? I mean, we have a BIG God after all thus I demand a better life.

To get through a maze, there's a method called "The left-hand method". Simply place your left-hand on the left-hand wall upon entering the maze and follow that wall all the way around. The principle is to never remove your hand from the wall.

Lets carefully observe how we live our lives till this moment. The left-hand method would not work if we let go of the left-hand wall. It requires us to stick to the left-hand wall no matter how long we have to walk around and the number of cul-de-sacs we met on the way. The same principle goes for our lives. We ought to hold on to Him no matter how long we have to wait and the number of obstacles we have to face.

If after a few cul-de-sacs, a man decided to let go of the left-hand wall then he may get lost in the maze. If he doesn't wait patiently while following the wall all around, then he might let it go and trapped inside the maze. If he thought the other path is more promising than following the left-hand wall, he might be up for a wild goose chase.

The truth is we do have a better life than those who get lost and trapped inside the maze. God is our left-hand wall, the only way to the exit. Wait patiently, fight for your faith in Him no matter what!

"My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him." Psalm 62:5

Joan's Jewels: Friendship

2011-10-20T15:31:00.000-07:00

FRIENDSHIP

Years ago there was a plaque with this slogan inscribed; "A friend knows your faults but loves you anyway."

Jesus knows everything about us. he knows where we've failed. He knows every thought we've had. He knows our weaknesses and still He Loves us infinitely and eternally. Jesus will never leave us or forsake us. Jesus never changes. Jesus never fails. He never goes back on His promises. He cannot act out of character with Himself.

A friend knows when we need something and when we don't. A friend never gives advice unless they are asked to give it. A friend wants to ease heartaches and hurt. A friend will laugh and cry with you.

Jesus laid His Life down for us. So we should be willing to lay our lives down for others; as we are members of Jesus' Body.

Proverbs 18:24 - Some friends may ruin you, but a real friend will be more loyal than a brother.

John 15:13-15 - The greatest Love a person can show is to die for his friends. you are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I heard from my Father.

Prayer: Dear Father help me to be a friend to everyone who needs a friend. Amen.

Joan's Jewels: Because You Talked to Me

2011-10-20T15:21:00.000-07:00

BECAUSE YOU TALKED TO ME

When I was so in need

Somehow you chanced to call

And you just talked to me

And I felt ten feet tall.

You didn't know my need

Nor could you ever see

The miracle wrought that day

When you just talked to me.

But friend, I felt so brave

When you left me that day

Because you talked to me

And knew just what to say.

Restoring the Teenage Soul

Pastor Nate Powell has called Colorado home since his High School years in Colorado Springs, even though he spent 17 years up north in Minnesota. There he attended Northwestern College and Bethel Seminary and served a church in Anoka, MN for 15 years.

The Domino Effect

2011-09-08T14:50:00.000-07:00

The Domino Effect

At some point in your life, you’ve probably seen a cartoon that goes something like this. Father has a hard day at work, comes home and yells at Mom. Hurt, Mom marches into the family room and screams at Sister for neglecting her chores. Feeling persecuted, Sister marches out of the room while calling Brother a pest. Wanting to escape the chaos, Brother stomps outside and kicks the dog along the way.

Whether we like it or not, our bad decisions have a domino effect. One seemingly tiny thing can set off a cascade of consequences that is hard to stop.

The good news is that this principle works for good choices as well. When I wake up in the morning and go to the gym, I start the day feeling good about my early start. Because I’m on schedule, I have more time for devotions. Having spent some quality time with God, I am kinder to others throughout the day, which usually means that others are kinder to me. My stress is reduced, healthy eating is easier and at the end of the day I even take time to play with the dog.

Wise decisions have a domino effect. One good choice leads to another and then another.

The Domino Threatens to Fall

As we are nearing the end of our Made to Crave study, I can’t help but look down the road to see what lies ahead. Fear threatens to rear it’s ugly head telling me there is no way I’ll ever be able to eat healthy for the rest of my life. And the domino threatens to fall.

If I can’t sustain this forever, I might as well eat a donut now. And since the donut blows the whole day’s eating plan, why not order a Big Mac for lunch? And while I’m there, I might as well add fries with a shake on the side. Super-sized, of course. (It’s really a better value.) Then waking up from hibernation, my sugar cravings will scream for cookies, pies and ice cream to top off the already ruined day. And on it will go.

But only IF I let that first domino of fear fall…
What if I choose to tip the domino of faith instead?
Faith says something entirely different:

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
I am strong in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10
Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world. I John 4:4
For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37

These truths also have a cascading effect. When I trust that God is able to work in and through even me, I can make one small courageous decision. And that one decision, leads to another and another until it culminates in a lifetime of change.
