Mother’s bring life and hope – Genesis 3:20

by Jim Jamison

We often talk about the account of Adam and Eve, but we forget that Genesis 3:20 (after sin entered the world), we read, “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, BECAUSE she was the mother of all living.” Eve’s name change is directly tied to the promise of God given to mankind in Genesis 3:14-15, That the “seed of the woman would bruise the heel of the serpent.” The significance of this is that mom’s are the hope of all of civilization. No one has more influence in the life of a young child than their mother, because, as created the woman is responsible for the early training during the formative years. We need to be grateful for our mothers, who gave up an important part of their lives to get us an early start in our lives, and to give us a foundation to grow on. What a great God we have that took a woman (Mary) and through her sent the Messiah, Jesus Christ. It is true ladies, hope comes from your impact on your children, and the hope of society is mothers who are dedicated to bringing up their children in the nurture and admonition of the … READ MORE

Home is where the Mom is – Psalms 139:14

by Jim Jamison

Did you ever notice how grown men, line up in front of a camera during some of the largest stages of their lives, and wave to the camera, saying, “Hi, Mom!” Mothers are an important part of who and what we are, and without a mom there is no one who would be here today. It doesn’t matter if your mom is “good” or “bad”, she carried us for 9 months in her womb. Psalm 139:14 says, I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, and this week I reflect on the power of mothers to shape the world, through the raising of their children to impact this world. Never allow the world to minimize your impact nor your sacrifice. It needs to be recognized and acknowledged. My mom was not perfect, but then again, neither am I, What I know is, and will never question, is that my mother loved me and sacrificed for me. I am what I am today, in part, because of the ministry of my mom to me. Tell your mom, Thanks today, for you … READ MORE

Winning the Battle over discouragement – Romans 8:18-27

by Jim Jamison

When we had the control of our lives over to the direction of the Holy Spirit, we will be led in our prayers, even as Christ Himself was lead. Intercession made according to the will of God will be met by definite and positive answers. It is not through our power we have authority with God, it is through our dependence of the Spirit of God that dwells within us. While it may not seem that prayer changes things, it will work at changing us. Romans 8:18-27 is a tremendous passage to read when we are overwhelmed by our circumstances and need to gain a fresh perspective on life.… READ MORE
