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 re...

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 ev...

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 th...

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.” This week on Sharin' Hearts Mentoring Matters, Janie and Sharon discuss the process we all go through as we mature in Christ. Maturit...

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, 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 w...

“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...

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...

"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...

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 ha...
