  • "Pick a Side!"

    by Plain Faith Ministry October 28, 2012
    Everyone knows the famous cartoon strip "Peanuts".  The main character- Charlie Brown- is described as "wishy-washy".  He can never make a firm decision and seems to want to please everyone around him.  Read Revelation 3:14-21.  One of the things that Jesus made very clear was th...

  • Protect the Passion

    by Plain Faith Ministry October 21, 2012
    Read Revelation 2:1-7.  Remember your first crush?  Remember your first job and how eager you were for that first paycheck?  Remember the first time you could put your name on something and make claim to it- house, car or apartment?  Remember when you first came to the Lord? ...

  • "Compliment, then critique"

    by Plain Faith Ministry October 14, 2012
    Many of us try to perform well at our jobs.  Most jobs will evaluate their employees' performance on an annual basis.   A positive experience for an employee during this process, is when their supervisor first outlines the employee's strengths and talents, then will discuss the areas for i...

    We have finally come to the last book of the Bible. In the upcoming weeks, we will be in this book of prophecy. It is believed that the apostle John is the author of Revelation.

  • Survivor

    by Plain Faith Ministry September 30, 2012
    All throughout the Bible, we are warned to be on guard against false teachers and taught to stand against heresy.  The book of Jude is no exception.   The author is Jude- brother of Jesus and James.  His purpose is to remind the church that we must remain vigil in our faith and oppose...

  • Oil and Water

    by Plain Faith Ministry September 23, 2012
     Read 1 John 1:5-10. My husband's favorite salad dressing is Italian. I am amazed at how 2 substances are in the same bottle, but won't come together unless vigorously shaken. However, if we put plain oil and water in the same bottle, no amount of shaking would make these two come together. The...

  • Fellowship and Hospitality

    Read 3 John (all verses). Fellowship is defined as "participation/ sharing". Hospitality is defined as "the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests and strangers". The early church started in homes of fellow believers. They met for Bible study or worship. As the church has grown,...

  • "Keeping it 100"

    by Plain Faith Ministry September 9, 2012
    Whenever I listen to my children and their friends talk, I am caught up on the most recent "street vernacular".  The expression- "keeping it 100" can also be said as "keeping it real".  Basically it means you can trust what the person is saying or about to say to you.  The book of 2 J...

  • Eyewitness News

    by Plain Faith Ministry September 2, 2012
    Read 1 John 1:1-4. Most of us watch the news on television.  Whether you like ABC, NBC, CBS or CNN, we all like to be caught up with what's going on in the world.  The best type of information is the news that comes from a person who can personally describe what happened beacuse he or she ...

  • Speak up!

    by Plain Faith Ministry August 19, 2012
     Read 1 Peter 3:13-16.  Have you ever had an opportunity to tell someone else about Christ, but maybe felt embarrassed and concerned about who else was around or listening?  Did you walk away later and think- "I should have spoke up"?   Too many times we are silent about telling ...
