Honoring your parents doesn't stop when you turn eighteen. Obedience may end, but honor lasts a lifetime. We are called to honor both our father and our mother - and that includes your husband's parents - your mother-in-law and father-in-law. Your husband is commanded to do the same. Together, you are to work to honor your parents.

But what if they aren't believers, or if they are difficult to honor? Romans reminds us that, as much as it depends on us, we should live at peace with everyone. That includes challenging in-laws, if you have them. In our relationships with our in-laws, we must strive for peace - both when we have offended them and when they have offended us. Our responsibility is to work diligently and humbly to resolve conflicts and maintain peace.

________________________

When this is the day you find yourself in conflict with your mother or father-in-law, remember that you cannot change them - you are accountable to the Lord for your own ways. Your ways, not theirs.

So instead of focusing on their sins - and they may be many or grievous - turn your attention to your own heart. Prayerfully examine yourself and see if there is anything you need to repent of; we almost always find something. There may be sins for which you need to ask their forgiveness, and there are almost certainly sinful thoughts and attitudes for which you should seek forgiveness from the Lord.

Paul was wrongly accused of seeking to please men, but it was the Judaizers who compromised the Gospel out of fear of man. Paul feared God, not people, and boldly upheld the truth of salvation by faith in Christ alone. Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker explore how the fear of man distorts truth - and how we’re called to live to please God, instead of man.

________________________

When this is the day you find yourself convicted by your sinful fear of man, take heart. We are not without hope. We are not slaves to sin—we are slaves to Christ. And because Christ conquered sin on the cross, we can come to Him in sorrow, confess our sin, renew our minds with the truth of His Word, and put on righteousness.

Christians are called not merely to hear the Word of God but to live it out faithfully, as James declares: "Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves" (James 1:22). The Scriptures pierce the depths of the human heart, exposing our true motives while judging our thoughts, rebuking our sins, encouraging our spirits, and exhorting us toward righteous living and unwavering faith.

To fully grasp this transformative truth, we must rely on faithful translations that honor the original intent. Modern distortions and manipulations can subtly alter meanings, paving the way for misleading doctrines that stray from God's unchanging revelation. So what Bible translation should you use, and which translations should you run from? Join Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker they dive into an overview of living out the Word and discerning reliable translations.

When this is the day you’re uncertain if your current Bible translation is reliable, do yourself a favor and listen to this episode. We can help!

When we're weak and turn to a worldly system for comfort and strength instead of to Christ, we're not boasting in our weakness, as Paul did, but rather in our own cunning and strength.

Self-care is the world's solution to most of women's problems, but it's not biblical - not the way it's promoted by the world. So what's a girl to do? Join Elizabeth and Monika as they filter self-care, through a biblical lens.

________________________

When this is the day you need some self-care, go for it. But first, get on your knees in prayer. Go to the cross before you go to Starbucks. Scroll through the Word of God before you scroll on your phone.

Whatever problems our hearts encounter, the solution is never found in worldly systems or ideals. The solution is ALWAYS found in Christ.

When the world feels overwhelmingly dark and chaotic, one of the best things we can do is turn our focus to the one unchanging Maker of heaven and earth - our holy Lord God. Join Elizabeth and Monika as they explore four attributes of God, thinking deeply about what these characteristics truly mean, so we can rightly meditate on His sovereignty, mercy, providence, and lovingkindness.

________________________

When this is the day your trials abound - when this is the day you're filled with great sorrow, worry, anxiety, or fear - meditate on the lovingkindness of God. It will fill you with great joy to reflect on His lovingkindness. It will temper your sorrow with peace and renew your hope in the Lord.

It will remind you to trust Him - not to fear the trial you're currently enduring or the future trials that may come. You cannot fear the future when your confidence is fully in Him. And how could you not have full confidence in a God who looks down on us - sinful worms - and sees us through the blood of Christ, giving us access to Himself through the work of His Son? A Son who loves us so much that He not only made us in His image, but also saved us from eternal death.

That knowledge should cause us to fall on our knees in worship.

Lying, rooted in hatred, is the opposite of love. It destroys trust and unity within the body of Christ.

As those who have died to sin, believers are called to speak the truth in love. Truth-telling isn't just about honesty - it's an act of love that builds up others. Lying tears down, but truth in love builds up.

Join Elizabeth and Monika as they filter the sin of lying through a biblical lens, considering what lying is, how to put it off, and how to put on a righteous habit in it's stead.

Ephesians 4:25 Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

________________________

When this is the day you struggle with the habit of lying, examine your heart. Do you detest lying? Do you hate your sin enough? Or are you unbothered - is your conscience unbothered - by concealing the truth, exaggerating, making excuses, minimizing, or even lying to yourself?

"I used to say to my mom that some vessels are made for honorable use and some for dishonorable use. Maybe I'm just meant to go to Hell." - Bryce De La Rosa, prior to salvation.

Once known by his prison number, Bryce went from attending youth group to attending state-mandated rehab. Little did he know, the Lord was at work, drawing the rebellious sinner to himself.

Meanwhile, his future wife found herself on the same trajectory. Addiction, identity theft, computer fraud and a baby on the way, Genevieve has no thoughts about the God who made her.

Join this special episode where we chat with a couple about their beautiful redemption story, a story that points to a loving, gracious Savior, who offered them mercy, instead of the justice they deserved.

Their entire testimony can be found on our website under Stories of Grace.

When this is the day you think someone you love is too far gone, keep praying. Keep inviting them to church. That's your job. The Lord does the saving. Remember, where there is breath, there is hope.
