Blessed Are All Who Repent
Hebrews 2:1 warns and advises, “We must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.”
This week on Sharin’ Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie Ratzlaff and Sharon Hoskins offer hope from the voice of Jesus Christ in the Bible on staying and standing strong under testing and attacks. Now, we need to recognize when we are under attack; sometimes from direct fiery darts, but many times in ways so subtle that we don’t sense the danger until we are wounded and wanting to cover up our wrongs; or worse yet, no longer care and believe we have need of nothing.
The Lord has provided understanding that our battleground is the mind. Scripture teaches prayerful ways to stay alert to the dangers that defeat us. Funny, because too much time on our hands can be as threatening as too little time, because of excessive busyness. Desiring our own agenda for relaxation and enjoyment has a high risk if not under the guidance of the Spirit. Our own agenda needs to be His agenda we have wholeheartedly sought.
As you listen today, examine your heart and ask yourself, what are my priorities that can lead to the blessings of repentance and reconciliation?
f you are not satisfied with cradles and pacifiers for the Christian life, desiring to be more useful in our Master’s service, then here is a meaty volume of practical value.
The chief concern of our Lord is not to instruct us about a multitude of details, not to explain to us the reason for the trials which we are called to pass through. He is working out everything to serve His supreme purpose in displaying the character of His Son in His children He has purchased through the Cross and the shedding of Blood for mankind. If that is where His heart is, then how shall we live to fulfill His plan?
It could be to learn, laugh, engage, or escape. But behind any of the reasons is a desire to change. We want something about ourselves to be different when we put the book down. So when we pick up a book, we say to the writers, “teach me something I don’t know or take me somewhere I’ve never been.” Those are certainly our goals with “The Truth About Money Lies.” By Russ Crosson.
This week on Sharin’ Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie Ratzlaff and Sharon Hoskins discuss the hard sayings that Paul is sharing with the Corinthians in Chapter Three. He tells them that he can not speak to them as spiritual people but he has to talk to them as if they are babes in Christ.

This week on Sharin’ Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie and Sharon discuss how the cross that Christ bore displays what true friendship looks like. His friendship carried the cross, His friendship hung on the cross, His friendship caused Him to die on the cross but He willingly did it in order to buy back those of us who had no hope.
This week on Sharin’ Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie Ratzlaff and Sharon Hoskins continue to explore the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross accomplished more than just forgiveness of sins; it also took care of our flesh and defeated the power of Satan in our life.
This week on Sharin’ Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie Ratzlaff and Sharon Hoskins discuss the freedom that Christ has provided for us by the cross. He paid for our sins by His blood, He took care of our sin (natural man) by the crucifixion, and He defeated the power of Satan in our lives by the resurrection. There is so much that the Lord has given us. We have the assurance of our salvation. We have safety from the enemy. We have peace that the world can’t give. We can be joyful, courageous, and holy, full of virtue, and have a dynamic life.
This week on Sharin’ Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie Ratzlaff and Sharon Hoskins discuss the gift of salvation by the Cross of Christ. There are benefits that we receive by the sacrifice paid by Jesus on the cross.
Any amount of fear and anxiety can be found in many homes today as families try to navigate these uncertain waters. But first and foremost, we must remind ourselves of two things:
This week on Sharin’ Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie and Sharon discuss the benefits we receive because of the sacrifice Jesus paid on the cross. The Cross paid for our sins by the blood. This is the benefit that is most talked about and described for salvation. However, receiving this benefit is not the end, there are more benefits that the cross provides the believer to continue to live victorious each day. The cross took care of our flesh by the crucifixion. We are no longer a slave to our natural human nature, we are a new creature in Christ. The cross defeated the power of Satan in our lives by the resurrection.
In their conversation, they are examining the comprehension of the Church about the cross of Christ. Paul addresses that they were using their own wisdom which caused confusion and divisions.
