Church Chicks: Living Intentionally - Focused Eternally

There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; and one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.  Proverbs 13:7  True riches are more than money and earthly treasures... more than finding the best price online for that gift we just have to have.  Proverbs says that we can have all the money we'll ever be able to spend in our lifetime and yet be poor in the most important things of life:  relationships with God and friends/family.  This Christmas season, let's evaluate the things in life that we have accumulated that seem so important or "need to haves" and give them a second thought.  Are they really necessary when we look at them with an eternal focus?  Will they last beyond this life? Let's remember that true riches are people, love, and serving God and others.  Lord, help us see what's of worth in our lives - worthy of our time and effort - and help us pare down the things of our lives that are useless in light of eternity.  In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.  Merry Christmas, Church Chicks!

Church Chicks in Nassau!

Church Chicks are everywhere and Church Chick products help you find them and celebrate your faith together :)  While on a cruise last week and visiting the Straw Market in Nassau, I wore one of my Church Chick tees (Heb. 10:24-25 style) and four Church Chicks stopped me and commented on my shirt.  One said she was going to look up the scripture right away after she asked what it said and I told her, "It says to spur each other on to love and good works and to go to church often - even more as you see the Day approaching."  Three Church Chicks stopped me further in the market and said they loved my shirt.  I asked if they were Church Chicks and they said, "Oh, yes!"  They said they'd like to know where they could get Church Chick shirts and I told them to go to our site at "ChurchChickOnline.com."  Hopefully, there will be Church Chicks proclaiming their faith and love for the Lord with witness wear in the Straw Market real soon :)  Romans 1:16 says, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation."  I wouldn't have known these women were Church Chicks if I hadn't worn my shirt.  It was a great feeling to know that I was among Christian sisters even far from home in the Straw Market of Nassau.  Wear it and share the love, Church Chicks!

Enrolling in God's Life Insurance Policy

Living a righteous life by following God's way is our insurance policy against the storms of life.  It will not keep us from the storms, but in God's pathway there is the promise that we will not be overtaken by trouble and will come through it successfully.  There is also the promise that there is no death in His pathway.  Listen to these verses from Proverbs 12:
"But the righteous will come through trouble...No grave trouble will overtake the righteous." (13b,21a)...In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death." (28)
Lord, we give You this day.  No matter what happens today, we know You walk with us and will bring us through the troubles successfully.  Help us be sensitive to Your voice to keep us on Your right path.  In Jesus' name, Amen.  Have a blessed day, Church Chicks, knowing that God walks with you as your insurance policy :)
