In John 1:1, The Word of God is declared to be GOD – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/MM_2025_11_08_Jesus-is-the-Word.mp3 John 1:14 The Word became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ – “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 14:6 Confirms life that lasts comes through Jesus Christ f...

Isaiah 30:15: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/MM_2025_11_01_The-Word-is-Enough.mp3 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 blessings He provides for His family. When we read this counsel from the Bible but choose not to apply it, we lack...

“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.” Hebrews 4:12 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/MM_2025_10_25_Sufficient-Truths-of-Scripture.mp3 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 e...

“And this is eternal life, that they may KNOW You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/MM_2025_10_18_Everlasting-Truth.mp3 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 ...

Romans 5:3-5 “We glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character, and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/MM_2025_10_11_Progression-Towards-Maturity.mp3 This week on Sharin’ Hearts Mentoring Matters, Janie and Sharon discuss the process we all go through as we mature in Christ.

"Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it" Ephesians 2:9 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/MM_2025_10_04_The-Scriptures-Plus.mp3 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 the results of a recent Gallup Poll showed that 76% of Christians do not believe the Bible is the foundational absolute truth. Psalm 19 tells us what the Scriptures...

“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 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/MM_2025_09_27_Building-a-Biblical-Worldview.mp3 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 influenced by what ...

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/2025/09/MM_2025_09_20_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 where compromised thinking can get us into some real trouble. Whether it is rational applica...

“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/2025/09/MM_2025_09_13_Culture-Influences-Beliefs.mp3 The word entangle intrigues me as it means to become twisted together or caught up in a trap, a snare, a jumble, or muddled. In our world, this may include anything from a spider web, fishing nets, traffic jams, or even relationships involving different worldview...

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” Mark 16:15 - https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/MM_2025_09_06_Culture-Invades-the-Church.mp3 - This week on Mentoring Matters,

Over the course of time, unmet needs are stored in a part of the brain that remembers the negativity in life that triggers anger...

“A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones” Proverbs 14:30 - https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/MM_2025_08_23_The-Dangers-of-Anger.mp3 - Anger is one of the most basic emotions that traps our hearts a...

“Do not associate with a man given to anger, or go with a hot-tempered man, or you will learn his ways and find a snare for yourself.” Proverbs 22:24-25 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/MM_2025_08_16_Anger-to-Apathy.mp3 Anger begins with an EXPECTATION of what we want, think we need, shocked at something or someone that causes pain to us. We all battle anger at some point. Telling a person to control their anger is like trying to pet a porcupine – porcupines are best left a...

“Be angry, and do not sin. Mediate within your heart on your bed, and be still.” Psalms 4:4 - https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/MM_2025_08_09_Anger-without-Sin.mp3 - So many physical functions within the body occur during the ho...

The Bible is GOD breathed; they are His words in the original text, but don’t use words of wisdom on me when I am bitter from circumstances th...

However, we need to take a closer look at the details. Paul uses absolute words, such as NOTHING, not just a little bit sometimes...

“Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When you said, “Seek My Face,” My heart said to You, “Your Face, Lord, I will seek.” Psalms 27:7-8 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/MM_2025_07_12_Steps-to-Maturity.mp3 When we are drawn by the mercies of God and our salvation is secure and complete, we are just beginning the progression of growing in grace and knowledge as we apply the Scriptures to our daily lives.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty” Revelation 1:8 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/MM_2025_06_07_The-Alpha-and-Omega.mp3 From Genesis to Revelation, Jesus is made known. He is the subject of the entire Bible, He is the object of our faith. For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, Romans 11:36. Jesus was in the beginning with God, all things were made through Him and nothing was made with...
