  • Preach!

    by Plain Faith Ministry April 15, 2012
    Read 2 Timothy 4:1-5. Let's be honest--it is hard to be a Christian these days. It is difficult to stand on good morals and say out loud about our beliefs and disagree with the world's thinking. It gets lonely sometimes when the people who surround us are on one page, but we stand on the pages of th...

  • Mentorship

    by Plain Faith Ministry April 8, 2012
     A mentor is: "an experienced and trusted adviser". There are natural mentors- they are our parents, grandparents, and other members of our family. Then there are chosen mentors- those we seek outside of our family zone. The person may be a supervisor, pastor or teacher. 1 and 2 Timothy are boo...

  • The BIBLE

    by Plain Faith Ministry April 1, 2012
    Read 2 Timothy 3:14-17. I once heard an acronym for the Bible- "Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth". The Bible is God's teaching, message and love letter to us. We can trust its contents because the men who wrote it did it under the inspiration of God through the Holy Spirit. In today's society...

  • 1 and 2 Timothy

    by Plain Faith Ministry March 25, 2012
    As we get ready to go into the month of April, we will be in the books of 1st and 2nd Timothy. These 2 books were written by the apostle Paul. They show us the love of a spiritual father for his spiritual son. The teachings instruct a young pastor in the church on how to perform in leadership. Paul ...

  • Getting Ready

    by Plain Faith Ministry March 19, 2012
    As we approach Easter, we reflect on the sacrifice of our Savior and His glorious resurrection. This time of year serves to remind us that Jesus will return and is coming soon. Since His ascension into Heaven, we have been waiting for Him to come back; some call this living in "the last days". We ha...

  • "Why me?"

    by Plain Faith Ministry March 11, 2012
    Read 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12 and 2 Thessalonians 1:3-7. When trouble, aggravation and trials of any sort come into our lives, the first thought usually is "Why me?". Well, why not? As believers in Christ, in a sin-cursed world, we will face persecutions of all types- from within and without. The top...

  • Wet, lather, rinse, repeat"

    by Plain Faith Ministry March 5, 2012
    These instructions are what we usually find on a bottle of shampoo. It is interesting how the manufacturer thought it was important for the public to need instructions for a simple use product. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. The apostle Paul wrote instructions for early believers to help them in thei...

  • 1 and 2 Thessalonians

    by Plain Faith Ministry February 26, 2012
    Paul wrote these two letters to teach Christians in the Thessalonian church about pleasing God, working hard until Jesus' return and strengthen their faith and give encouragement. The thread of themes throughout these books are persecution, hope, preparation, Christ's return and persistence. We shou...

  • The "Heart Umpire"

    by Plain Faith Ministry February 20, 2012
    February is the month for healthy heart awareness. Heart disease is the one of the top "killing diseases"-especially among women. This is the time of year where we are educated about ways to protect our heart- exercise, eat right, low/no stress, watching cholesterol numbers and getting periodic chec...

  • Inclusive, not exclusive

    by Plain Faith Ministry February 12, 2012
    The definition of the word connect is to join together- usually 2 things- and not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually. We live in a society where it is all about connection. Who we know. Who knows us. Read Colossians 1:24-29. People will usually gravitate to and in circles of familiar...
