Thankful Homemaker: A Christian Homemaking Podcast

Fasting for the Glory of God (Matthew 6:16-18 - Sermon on the Mount Series)

Fasting is a way to remind us that everything we truly need is found in Christ and Him alone. Jesus fasted, and He expected that His followers would fast too.
The purpose of fasting is too long for the fullness and presence of Jesus in our lives. To hunger more for God than the food, He made for us to live on.

Love is not Selfish (1 Corinthians 13:5)

Love looks to the interests of others and puts others above itself. Christ is our perfect example of what unselfish love should look like.

A Proper Pattern for Prayer (Matthew 6:5-15 - Sermon on the Mount Series)

The Lord's prayer is a pattern for prayer that is beneficial for all those in Christ to use. The first three requests have to do with God's glory, and the last three requests are for our good.
Our eyes are on God first, and then our eyes are on us. It is the perfect pattern to use in our private and public prayer lives.

Six Thought Patterns of a Christian Mind (Philippians 4:8)

The sin in our lives begins in our thoughts—or as the bible calls it, "the heart" (Mark 7:20-23). We don't sin without it first starting in our minds. We're walking through Philippians 4:8 together to see how to replace sinful, wrong thinking by instead thinking thoughts that are God-honoring.

How Should We Give? - Matthew 6:1-4 (Sermon on the Mount Series)

When we grasp our relationship with God as our Father and rest securely in His care and love, it will change what we do and why we do it. We will not be looking for the approval of men but only of God, and there is where we receive the greatest reward that isn't lost because it is done out of love for our Father in Heaven, and He has seen it, and He will reward us.

Love Your Enemies - Matthew 5:43-48 (Sermon on the Mount Series)

We are to be imitators of Jesus who is God incarnate and we are to reflect his image to a lost and dying world. One way we do that is by loving our enemies

Have We No Rights? - Matthew 5:38-42 (Sermon on the Mount Series)

Today, we live in a culture all about self and our rights and self-esteem. Jesus desires those of us in Christ not to be self-focused and not to take offense so quickly that we immediately seek retaliation. 
Our hope is to have our eyes so focused on Christ and who we are in Christ and our purpose and mission that we don't let insults or criticism bother or thwart our mission.

Lovingly Giving and Accepting Correction

I don't know about you, but I don't always take correction well initially. Usually, I come around, but sometimes it takes me much longer than it should. Pride is such an ugly sin, isn't it??

Tell the Truth - Matthew 5:33-37 (Sermon on the Mount Series)

Jesus calls us to be people of the truth and people who keep their word. We need to be people whose yes is yes and whose no is no. 
Matthew 5:33-37: 
"Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.' 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from evil.

Cultivating Patience with One Another

If someone were to ask your family if you were a patient person, what would their response be? I want to consider myself a patient person, but I'm not sure what my family would say, especially when I'm under stress or when things aren't working out on my timetable.
Are we patient with our children when they come to us with questions and requests at the most seemingly inconvenient times? How about difficult people in our lives? Or people who respond impatiently to us?
