We’ve seen many messages from the world this Valentine season about love. The world says “I Love You” in many ways—with chocolates and cards, maybe even flowers and a candle- lit dinner; not to mention, lingerie and sex. How does that compare to the way God says, “I Love You”? I’ve noticed that the love …
Blogs, a Widow & Prayer
This past Tuesday morning, our Prayer Team Leader, Jill Trucke, shared these thoughts with us on prayer: I enjoy reading blogs and have a long list of blogs I follow. One topic I notice a lot on blogs this time of year is people talking about their “word” for the year—words such as intentional, hope, …
God’s Gift
Though we missed our face-to-face time at Titus Women this week, please know that you are prayed for today. I hope you were snugly tucked in and out of the storm on Tuesday. The one thing I love about living in Nebraska is a snow day—you know, the day after the storm when everything shuts …
I bring an offering to You
If you were with us last semester, you learned about and got comfortable with our offering time. It became a time where everyone gave something . . . some of you gave with your silence in prayer, others gave money, and many of you responded by writing on the note cards. Each week, Marlys and …
Life to the Full
Words are very important for us to guard and protect here at Titus Women. Not only are we concerned with staying true to God’s Word but we’re also concerned with all the words that influence us. Electronic media has given us unlimited access to all kinds of words. So we’re careful about how we use …
God is Delighted
Today we hear from Marlys Burgett, Director of Women’s Ministries. These were her words to us October 19, 2010 during Titus Women worship time. About 3 weeks ago, Shereen and I left Titus Women and went to visit Jill Truckee in the hospital. She had just delivered her new baby boy, Andrew. We entered the …
God is Aware
My favorite part of the newspaper is the comic page. It gives a slice of life. Baby Blues has some insightful family moments. One in particular has stuck with me. The mother looks in the mirror and exclaims in horror that she’s just found a hair on her chin. Her daughter walks by and says, “Oh, …
God is Sensitive
We worship God most honestly when we know who He is. Jesus shows us just that, doesn’t He? In Jesus, God came near to men and women in the 1st century and He still comes near to us like that today. Mark 7:32-35 shows us one of those times when Jesus came very near to …
Why Do We Pray Together?
The simplest answer I have for that is, "I pray because Jesus prayed". That wasn’t always my answer. When I was a child I would have said, “I pray because I’ll get a stomachache if I don’t pray before I eat.” (Not the kind of parenting I would recommend, by the way). Later on, “I …
Why Worship?
Good question. Why do we carve out time and protect part of our busy Tuesday mornings for our group to gather in one place and sing? I’ve asked our new Worship Team leader to share her thoughts on worship. Here’s what Laura had to say … *It’s all about Jesus* Focusing our moments together— because …
