It’s easy for women to come up with a list of things they don’t like about their husbands; but my encouragement is come up with a list of things you love, appreciate, and admire about your husband. And then encourage him! Chesed joined me for a conversation on this very topic.

When we were children, we acted like children. Now that we’re grown women, are we acting like grown women? As believers, are we growing up in the Lord? Let’s ask some questions:

Are you still as immature today as you were when you were 12? Are you still as spiritually immature today as when you first became a Christian? Do the same things provoke you today that provoked you 10 years ago? Do you still gossip? Do you still hold grudges? Do you love others even when you think they are simply unloveable?

God wants us to grow up in Him. He helps us grow because He fully knows us. And one day, we will fully know Him. The more we get to know Him, the more we love others His way.

The way you love others won’t be perfect in this life – it will have flaws – but if you love God, you will grow, and you will love people no matter what.

I hope this last episode on biblical love will encourage and motivate you to love others the way He loves you.

“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.“ 1 Peter 4:8. What does this mean? How do we cover sin? And what does it mean to rejoice with the truth and how do we practically believe the best about others? I hope you will be encouraged as you listen to the third part of Biblical Love.

In this week’s episode, we continue exploring God’s love. His biblical love. We’ll see more how real love behaves - how it’s not rude, it has a big heart, it’s not bitter, and it certainly doesn’t keep a record of wrongs. So much to learn this week.

“Charity suffereth long, and is kind;” 1 Corinthians 13:4a KJV

I love this. Biblical love is patient … it is long suffering. Oh how we need supernatural love for those around us. Even though we have a God-given natural love for others, we need God’s grace to adequately express it. Our love runs raw. It grows thin in the stresses of life. It gets tired. Our love does not suffer long by itself.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY ONE WHO loves perfectly. That’s why we need Him.

Today’s podcast begins a series on how to love God’s way. Biblical Love. I trust it will encourage you.

Proverbs 14:1 says “The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.”

What does a wise woman look like? What are some of the choices she makes as she sets out to build her home?

She won’t make the choices of the world. She will obey God.

We know we need to discipline our children, but so often we don’t know what it means or even how to carry it out. In His Word, God explains His heart as to why and how He disciplines His own children. There is much application for us!! In this session, we look at the Scripture as it concerns discipline, training, and practical ways to carry it out. But first, you’ll learn some principles for your own heart!!

And as always, I would love to hear from you!! And please pass along this podcast to other women whom you think would be encouraged by it. There will be one more session from Biblical Mothering and then I’ll be back with my girls to handle topics you have asked us to address!!

Even though we mothers possess a natural, instinctive love for our children, the Bible is very clear that we need to be taught biblical love. So often the way we love our children is wrapped up in the way we view them. This message covers a lot - and also gives you practical ways to enjoy your children when the rest of the world seems to be enduring theirs

As mothers and grandmothers, we often think our children are our biggest problems - we think they present the biggest challenges in our lives. But actually, other issues loom large and work against us. In this message, we look at four of our biggest problems - and they might surprise you. Sometimes all we need is a whole new perspective.

Thus says the LORD, “Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘we will not walk in it.’” Jeremiah 6:16-17. How about you? In these next few podcasts, you will hear the messages from the Biblical Mothering conference. It is my prayer that God will use each message tremendously in your life, no matter your age or season of life.
