    by Plain Faith Ministry August 12, 2012
    There have been times- days- in my life that seemed to drag on and on. There are weeks dealing with work, patients and co-workers that seem like it will never end. Then my weekend comes around, and in a flash, it's over!! We have all heard the expression "He's never late, but He is always on time!" ...

  • Fading Beauty

    by Plain Faith Ministry August 5, 2012
     Read 1 Peter 1:22-25.   Have you ever looked at old photos of yourself and think "Wow, how things have changed!".  We look at the more wrinkles and weight we have "achieved" over the years.  Some of us may feel we were more handsome or pretty back in the day, and now, the beauty...

  • Trial and Tribulation

    by Plain Faith Ministry July 23, 2012
     All through the Bible we read about facing trials, temptations and other kinds of challenges.  Read James 1:2-8. Notice the wording of "whenever" and not "if".  In this life, we are assured of going through stuff and having to deal with temptations.  Life is a series a never-end...

  • Actions not words

    by Plain Faith Ministry July 8, 2012
    We have all heard the expression "actions speaks louder than words".  Also, the phrase- "Talk is cheap".  Read James 2:14-26. It is not enough to say we believe, have faith and are Christians.  Our actions have to support those statements.  The true mission of the church is about...

  • James

    by Plain Faith Ministry June 24, 2012
    In July we will be in the book of James.  He is thought to be the brother of Jesus and is given credit as the author of this book.   In summary, this book teaches us that real Christian faith is demonstrated through good deeds.   The book of James could be looked as a "How To" book on...

  • Run the Race

    by Plain Faith Ministry June 17, 2012
    Read Hebrews 12:1-3.  Along the course of any major race, there are people on the sidelines- offering water, towels, medical care and shouts of moral support and encouragement.  We too are “surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses”.  Hebrews 12:1 refers to those champions ...

  • Grow up, please!

    by Plain Faith Ministry June 3, 2012
    Read Hebrews 5:12-6:2.  The definition of grow is to "increase in size, height, quantity, degree or in any way measurable"/" to become gradually."  Growth is the act of growing.  No matter what age we are 1 or 100- we are in a constant state of growing in our spiritual selves.  B...
