When our priorities are wrong, our hearts will be anxious. Jesus reminds us in this passage that we don't need to worry about the necessities of life. We have a Heavenly Father who loves and cares for His children. Our worry shows a lack of faith and trust in our good God. The cure to our anxiety is to seek the Lord and not the things of this world.  HELPFUL LINKS: Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes.

Fasting is a way to remind us that everything we truly need is found in Christ and Him alone. Jesus fasted, and He expected that His followers would fast too. The purpose of fasting is too long for the fullness and presence of Jesus in our lives. To hunger more for God than the food, He made for us to live on.  HELPFUL LINKS: Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes.

The Lord's prayer is a pattern for prayer that is beneficial for all those in Christ to use. The first three requests have to do with God's glory, and the last three requests are for our good. Our eyes are on God first, and then our eyes are on us. It is the perfect pattern to use in our private and public prayer lives. HELPFUL LINKS: Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes.

The sin in our lives begins in our thoughts—or as the bible calls it, "the heart" (Mark 7:20-23). We don't sin without it first starting in our minds. We're walking through Philippians 4:8 together to see how to replace sinful, wrong thinking by instead thinking thoughts that are God-honoring.

When we grasp our relationship with God as our Father and rest securely in His care and love, it will change what we do and why we do it.  We will not be looking for the approval of men but only of God, and there is where we receive the greatest reward that isn't lost because it is done out of love for our Father in Heaven, and He has seen it, and He will reward us.

Today, we live in a culture all about self and our rights and self-esteem. Jesus desires those of us in Christ not to be self-focused and not to take offense so quickly that we immediately seek retaliation.  Our hope is to have our eyes so focused on Christ and who we are in Christ and our purpose and mission that we don't let insults or criticism bother or thwart our mission.  HELPFUL LINKS: Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes.

Jesus calls us to be people of the truth and people who keep their word. We need to be people whose yes is yes and whose no is no.  Matthew 5:33-37:  "Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.' 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do...

If someone were to ask your family if you were a patient person, what would their response be? I want to consider myself a patient person, but I'm not sure what my family would say, especially when I'm under stress or when things aren't working out on my timetable. Are we patient with our children when they come to us with questions and requests at the most seemingly inconvenient times? How about difficult people in our lives? Or people who respond impatiently to us?  Full Show Notes:...

I know many of our lives have been affected by divorce, and it is a sensitive subject. There is much hurt and pain in many of your lives still by divorce, so my desire isn't to cause you any more hurt—so please know my heart here before we start to dig in. I always want to be biblical, and the question that we're answering in all these episodes is to be, "What does God's Word say?" Our text today is Matthew 5:31-31: and Jesus continues in it with His - "it was said" statements but "I say to...

We live in a culture today that is obsessed with sex and sensuality.

Our text in today's episode is Matthew 5:27-30: 27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful...

One of the ways we adorn the gospel (as it states in Titus 2:10) or make it beautiful is by the care and keeping of our homes. We have been given the responsibility, as Christian women, to the care and management of our homes.  In this episode, the hope in our time together is that we capture the reality of God's hand in every aspect of our lives as workers at home. There is purpose ladies being worked out in our normal day-to-day life. God is always at work behind the scenes. Full Show...

Are we always mindful as we think of our sinful anger, even though it doesn't lead to physically murdering someone, is committing murder against another person in our heart, and will also be judged by the Lord?  One commentator stated: "We would learn that we actually do worse things than these if we could only see our hearts as God is able to see them."  We are all murderers. Have you ever lost your temper, harbored a grudge against someone, gossiped, neglected their needs, spoke...

Jesus did not come to do away with the Law—He came to fulfill it.
