The Complete Woman – A 21st Century Woman of Grace
GEW-22 070930AM Things completed, give such a great feeling: a completed assignment so our work is done; a completely balanced diet so we are healthy; all our requirements completed, so the pressures are off…all of those feel so good.

The Joy of Grace-Energized Submission
GEW-21 070916AM When God looks down upon us humans who live on Earth He only sees two kinds of hearts: saved hearts and lost hearts. God’s Word classifies everyone as either: having Christ or not. Listen to John: 1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the […]
What is Grace-Energized Submission?
GEW-20 070909AM Jesus reduced life to one simple goal—seeking God’s rule over each day of my life. Do you remember Christ’s simple yet powerful words? Please open there with me: Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. NKJV Ever since the Garden of Eden, and […]
The Eternal Reward of Grace-Energized Kindness
GEW-19 070902AM Can you imagine how liberating it would be to know how to choose the best in life? We live in a complex world of multiplied choices, many of which are good.

What is the Grace-Energized Life?
GEW-18 070826AM This week I had lunch and someone stopped by our table and asked, “Could you define ‘grace-energized’ for me?” I did briefly there at that restaurant, but as I thought and prayed about it, I decided that it would be good to pause one week and back up to look at the […]
Grace-Energized Kindness
GEW-17 070819AM Do you serve the Lord with grace-energized kindness? Knowing that is vital because that is the only type of serving that God will reward according to His Word.

Grace-Energized Homemakers
GEW-16 070812PM For the past 20 centuries God has offered to every married woman the privilege of turning each moment she spends in her hut, tent, cave, flat, apartment, or palace–into eternal crowns to cast at Christ’s feet. Since Paul sat to pen one word “homemakers” (NKJV) [“keepers at home” (KJV); “to be […]
Grace-Energized Women of Purity
GEW-15 070812AM For two thousand years God has been looking in each generation of Christ’s Church for a few good women–who will give themselves to His plan for their lives.

When Christ is Magnified and Believers Consecrated – God’s Word Prevails
GEW-14 070805AM What Does a Grace-Energized Church Look Like?

As you open in your […]
Women with Grace-Energized Minds
GEW-13 070729PM As we open to I Thessalonians 5, we open to Paul preparing new believers for spiritual warfare. As believers and followers of Christ, they were going to be attacked in their minds, by the Devil. That is where he starts. Your body only goes where you mind directs. Your mind is the […]
Grace-Energized Women are Discreet
GEW-12 070729AM Jesus loves absolutes. He always used them in His teachings, through contrasts: Light vs. Darkness, Heaven vs. Hell, Life vs. Death, Broad way vs. Narrow Gate, and so on. Those absolutes continue into the church that bears Christ’s Name. We have to choose go His way or ignore His way. The […]
