| A Thought By: C. H. Spurgeon: Fear Only God Because God will never leave nor forsake us, we may well be content
with such things as we have. Since the LORD is ours, we cannot be left
without a friend, a treasure, and a dwelling place. This assurance may
make us feel quite independent of men. Under such high patronage we do
not feel tempted to cringe before our fellowmen and ask of them
permission to call our lives our own; but what we say we boldly say and
defy contradiction. |
| A Thought From Our Pastor:
Who can find a virtuous woman? I would like to wish all mothers everywhere a very happy Mothers Day!
There is nothing on earth more valuable to a child than their mother.
When I was growing up it was my mother who was what most call today "a
stay home mom" and cared for her children. My mother had eight children
and six were boys and I must add not so easy to handle boys either, but
by the grace of God she raised all eight of her children. And beloved I
would like for you to know she was and is a blessing to all of us and
today and we all call her blessed not just today or just once a year but
everyday. My mother was not just a "stay at home mom" but she was a
mother to her children and made every attempt to be a wonderful wife to
her husband because this is what virtuous women do in this life. A
virtuous woman is one who serves this life as the Lord our God has
commanded her to and that is to be a help mate to her husband, one that
cares for her children, and one who makes sure the house is kept for the
family. It is the husband’s job to financially support the family not
the wife’s. 1 Timothy 5:8 "But if any provide not for his own, and
specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is
worse than an infidel."The bible asks a question I would also like to
ask, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies."
Proverbs 31:10. Where are they? Where is the woman that is serving the
role that the Lord made her for? Who is tending to the children if not
her? Beloved we have gotten so money hungry today, that it has caused
mothers to find a career rather than tending to, and raising their
children. Any woman who has children at home and has a career it NOT a
virtuous woman. I know this will offend a lot of people but the word of
God offends every sinner. Let’s not forget what the Lord continues to
say in Proverbs 31:10 "for her price is far above rubies" The Lord goes
on to say in Proverbs 3:15 "She is more precious than rubies: and all
the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her." There is
nothing on earth more precious to a man and the children than a virtuous
woman. To put it in terms we will understand today "she is worth more
than gold". Why? Why is so hard to find and why is she so precious?
Beloved it is because there are so few of her. Women today think it is
most offensive when a woman cares more about her husband and her
children than she does about running a company, or running the world,
but the Lord says different, He says she is rare and worth more than
anything on earth. We often wonder why children are so bad in our day;
well it is because they have no mother at home. Beloved God did not give
us children for someone else to raise, it is the mothers job and if she
fails then the children will also fail. This is exactly why children are
at the mall instead of at home doing chores and homework. This is why so
many children kill others or their self, they have no care at home,
however on mother’s day she wonders why they are not calling her
blessed. Mothers are supposed to discipliners not best friends to their
children. A boss at work does not have the same respect form his employs
if he is their good friend as he does if he keeps a distance from his
employs. Neither does a mother who become a good friend with her
children rather than one who rules them. There is nothing more precious
than a woman who serves the Lord well. |
