No Regrets

Dear Judy, This month we honor our mothers. That opportunity is lost to me for now because Mom passed away. I do know my mom is walking the streets of gold in Heaven because she was a born-again Christian. I too am a born-again Christian so I know I shall see her again in Heaven, but how I regret not spending quality time more often with my mother. I miss her so much. This month I just want to encourage your readers that if their mom is still alive, make more time to really love her, listen to her stories, even if you've heard them a dozen times before. You will honor her...and have fewer regrets.

Dear No Regrets,

This is a great reminder to all of us who still have our mothers with us to honor them. This is a command from God in the Bible both Old and New testaments: Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you (Exodus 20:12); “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth (Ephesians 6:2-3). The word honor means to value or give high esteem.

How wonderful to know we will live together for eternity with our Christian loved ones. But for sure, we still miss them until then. Enjoy the memories of the times you had and do not focus on the time you did not have. Some of the readers may not have had a good mom, and I say to them to give your mom value because she brought you into this world. You are reading this article because of your mom. Value them for that and forgive the rest, whether she is still living or not. It is wise for us all to reread the scriptures above… Our life depends on it.

Thank you for reminding us to not get too busy for our moms now and honor her every day! If your mom is gone, find a mom who needs to be HONORED. We want NO REGRETS!

That is a question often asked by new believers. The Bible is very clear about this. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

I am somewhat of a new believer. I struggle with who I am and my past HUGE mistakes. How do I get beyond all of this?

Many people are confused by this question. But before I answer it, I want to make clear that there is a real heaven and a real hell! Everyone goes to one place or the other—their choice! So, no, everyone does not go to heaven, but everyone will go somewhere when they die.

So many horrible things are happening in our world today—children and adults gunned down in the middle of prayer, lives being destroyed by wars, famines, floods, fires, absolute madness– and if we allow ourselves to focus totally on these things, fear can totally take over and then we will become victims instead of a v

We are eternal beings, and we shall live for eternity somewhere! If we think we are saved, we are not! We must KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that we are born from above and have both an earthly address and a heavenly address. This is done by accepting Jesus as our Savior and living for HIM!
Focus sign

I see so many believers focusing on world events and the despair in our world. That may well be a focus for the unbeliever but certainly not for a believer! If we read our manual for success (Bible) and obey what it is teaching us, then we will have all our focus on Jesus and the cross! Jesus did everything for us on t
