This week on Mentoring Matters, Janie Ratzlaff, and Sharon Hoskins discuss the all-sufficient Scriptures as God's Word. It is the truth and final authority and we can depend on it for our everyday living. Isaiah 30:15: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” The closing portion of that verse says BUT YOU WOULD NOT. Why would anyone want to reject that counsel? As believers we want a secure relationship with Almighty God and enjoy all the ...

Hebrews 4:12: “ For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” The definition of “sufficiency” is adequate to do the purpose intended or to meet a need. 2 Peter defines this as “seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His ow...

JOHN 17:3 “And this is eternal life, that they may KNOW You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” To know everlasting Truth you need to know who and what is Truth, according to the author of Truth. Many today know about the God of Truth without having a personal and intimate relationship with Him. Facts are great but they will never hold up in difficult days without having the life of Truth in our hearts and minds. John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was w...

Maturity is not an instant quality we can claim. Our lives are all about learning in every growth stage. B...

This week on Sharin' Hearts Mentoring Matters, Janie and Sharon discuss the decline of the Church. - The culture that we live in contributes to shaping our worldview, which is why the Bible tells us to be separate from this world. But,

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45 WORDS MATTER as they reveal what is in our hearts. As we establish a Biblical Worldview there are principles we use to decide what builds us up and what can tear us down in knowing the mind of God. Many folks are greatly influence by what others think and so we gather our information from u...

Colossians 2:8 “Beware, lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ." https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/MM_2021_07_03_Foundations-in-a-Worldview.mp3 To have a foundation that will stand on solid rock and not be sifted like wind-blown sands, we need to see areas of where compromised thinking can get us into some real trouble.

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage" Galatians 5:1 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/MM_2021_06_26_Culture-Influences-Beliefs.mp3 The word entangled intrigues me as it means to become twisted together or caught up in a trap, a snare, jumble, muddled. In our world, this may include anything from a spider web, fishing nets, traffic jams, or even relationships involving different worldviews. W...

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" Psalm 139:23-24 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/WTW_2021_06_19_The-Condition-of-Our-Heart-1.mp3 This week on Sharin' Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie and Sharon discuss matters of the heart.

This week on Sharin' Hearts Mentoring Matters, Janie and Sharon discuss how the world's culture has invaded the church. In Mark 16:15, Jesus says, "Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." We have become comfortable with simply inviting people to church so they can hear the gospel rather than being responsible to share the gospel ourselves. As you listen, find why we have become afraid to share in the marketplace. Examine your foundation to find where you can be s...

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love" Ephesians 1:3-4. https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/WTW_2021_04_24_Blessed-Are-Those-Who-Love-the-Lord.mp3 This week on Sharin' Hearts Woman to Woman, Janie and Sharon seek to encourage you in the Lord.

"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called "Today" so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin" Hebrews 3:13. Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing" 1 Thessalonians 5:11. It is easy to take these scriptures with the best of intentions and hurt others with our words. https://archive.org/download/EncourageWithoutWounding/Encourage%20without%20Wounding.mp3 Janie and Sharon discuss the importance of learning to enco...

We hope that you can join us as we build on the foundation of faith that was discussed last month. 2 Peter 1:5 says, “…giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge…” As we learn the virtue of God’s character we can understand how to grow spiritually into His likeness.
