Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w...

One day we’ll give an account of ourselves to the Lord ( Romans 14:12 ). We must pay attention to how we live. The rich man in  Luke 16:19-31  made the tragic choice of living for himself without regard for the Lord. He also made two other mistakes. First, he invested everything for himself and nothing for the life to come. When we are blinded by our own desires and personal satisfaction, it is easy to become lukewarm about spiritual matters. We forget that this life is not all there is. Scripture tells us to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth. Where our treasure is reflects where our heart is ( Matthew 6:19-21 ). The rich man’s other mistake was to prepare everything for himself and nothing for others. Crumbs falling from his table (v. 21) were the only form of assistance he gave a poor man named Lazarus. The one who had much wealth did not share it with the one who had little. Jesus explained what our priorities should be to love the Lord wholeh...

God's timing is just as important as God's will. "Abraham's wife Sarah learned this life lesson the hard way "Every time that we will try to conquer God's will our way, we pay a great price. It's dangerous to try to create our own destiny through our own strategy--because we can destroy the good things that God has planned for us in his timing." Sheri Rose Shepherd - Bible Gateway

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.                    I was waiting for more information to surface regarding the incident involving a school officer and a sixteen year old girl.  This is what is currently being reported:   Officer Ben Fields, 34, was suspended without pay, is now fired after videos filmed by students showed him flipping a 16-year-old girl out of her chair and dragging her across a classroom for refusing a teacher's demand to put away her cell phone.   The video primarily reflects  the officers reaction, but not what precipitated it. In a follow up video it was said that the young lady was asked three times to leave the classroom.   The first voice of authority was the teacher who asked the lady to put away her cell phone or leave the room. Second, a school administrator came to the classroom and asked the you...

The 12-year-old girl made her way to the podium in front of a nearly empty room, the school board before her.   Her seventh-grade teacher challenged Jordan Wooley's faith, and Wooley wasn't about to let the teacher bully her into silence.  "Today I was given an assignment in school that questioned my faith and told me God was not real," Wooley began.  Wooley was far from the only student who was offended, but she was the only one who stood up. Watch the video to see her speech.  http://www.charismanews.com/us/52908-tween-goes-toe-to-toe-with-teacher-who-insists-god-is-a-myth
