Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! I've been blessed great 'moms' in my life. First, God blessed me with my own mom for whom I am very thankful. Also, I couldn't ask for a better mother-in-law. My wife has been a wonderful mom to our three children. My sweet little girl is an amazing mom to her little baby dolls. And if she's anything like her mom and her grandmothers, then she will be a blessing to her own kids and grandkids someday.

Believe it or not, I have a couple of 'womens' websites that I like to read on a regular basis. One of them has all the frilly pink and pretty stuff... another one has lavender (that's 'purple' to you macho men). Now before you go thinking that I have lost it and had a significant drop in my testosterone levels, listen up: the reason I go there is because my job as a husband is to make sure my wife is being challenged in her faith. These couple of websites have had numerous great articles that I can sift through, print out, and share them with my wife - encouraging articles on parenting, housekeeping, finances, Bible study, etc. And so I find great value in these websites and actually have them on my 'favorites' list. Here are the links, in case you'd find them as encouraging as I have:

I Believe...

1). I believe that there is one God. I believe God consists of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2). I believe that God is holy, righteous, loving, and just.
3). I believe that mankind is separated from God by sin; that sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin.
4). I believe that, because of sin, man is condemned. Because of God’s utter hatred for sin, there is an eternal conscious punishment in hell for all those who do not come to God on His terms, dealing with their sin.
5). I believe that confessing our sins and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord is the only way to properly deal with the sin that has infected everyone. Jesus Christ paid our sin debt on the cross; reconciliation by substitution. There is nothing we can do to add to the finished work of Christ.
6). I believe in the security of the believer, that once he is truly born-again, there is nothing that would cause him to lose his salvation.
7). I believe that upon the death of a true believer in Christ, that he is ushered immediately into the presence of the Lord, where he will live in everlasting joy in Heaven, experiencing eternal fellowship with God.
8). I believe in believer’s baptism by immersion. I don’t believe baptism is necessary for salvation, but it is a beautiful outward profession of an inward possession.
9). I believe in a literal 6-day creation where God created the heavens and the earth and then rested on the seventh day.
10). I believe that the words written in the Bible are truth. I believe that the Bible is inerrant in its parts and in its whole. I believe that the 66 books that make up the canon of scripture make the Bible complete and that God inspired the words written therein. The things that were written down in the Bible are sufficient for every need we have. Not only is God’s Word sufficient, but it is far superior to any other method of handling the problems that man faces, since He has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness.
