The Gospel According To Mum

23/07/2024

I’ve often told my kids that no matter what, they have to tell me truthfully when they’ve done something wrong. Why? Not so that I can mete out the appropriate punishment. It’s because unless I know the truth, I can’t help them. That’s a mother’s heart. So, why not trust Jesus? God is the best parent you could imagine and even more. Anne-Maree Choi’s story of God’s faithfulness and redemption through heartbreak and divorce is available here: https://thegospelaccordingtomum.podbean.com/e/the-gospel-according-to-mum-anne-maree-choi/

Unfaithfulness is an action of the heart. What is so destructive in the context of marriage is equally destructive to our relationship with God Himself. But God is always faithful to us. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you again (James 4:8). Anne-Maree Choi shares her personal experience of both the destructive power of unfaithfulness and the majestic power of God's redemptive faithfulness in Episode 18, available this Wednesday at www.thegospelaccordingtomum.podbean.com

Anne-Maree Choi is a wife, mother, step-mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. She is also a Christian Counsellor and Lifestyle Coach, and the author of Heartbroken, yet Radiant, which shares her personal story of healing from intimate betrayal.
In our upcoming Episode 18, Anne-Maree shares how her husband's confession of an affair sparked an 8-year trudge with the Lord faithfully at her side through incredible hurt and grief and then a process of healing. This Deep-Dive Episode looks at the concepts of God's faithfulness and His call for us to bear that characteristic, as well as the destructive effect that unfaithfulness has on our own life and the lives of those around us.

Sometimes the day is so busy, I talk to my husband as we fly past each other. Later we find time to talk properly, but we check in all through the day so we stay connected until then. Ruth Bell-Graham used to put her Bible somewhere she could read it as she flew past, for the same reason: To stay connected. Jessica's amazing turn-around story with the Word of God is available here: https://www.thegospelaccordingtomum.com/podcast

If this is you at church, then you don’t need to be embarrassed or ashamed anymore! We are meant to believe and THEN SEEK GOD for the rest of our lives! Any actual Christian will never think less of you for doing that. Go and find a lovely, faithful follower with a few years under their belt, and ask every single question you can think of. It's worth any shred of dignity we have to get to know our Heavenly Father, (He'll give it back to you) and you will bless the other person too! Please share this sentiment within your church!🙏 www.thegospelaccordingtomum.com

When Jessica Paewai received her 3 year old son's diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, she knew she had to decide if she could follow Christ or not.

Christianity is a social religion says John Wesley. Sharing our stories and experiences is a way to transmit the reality of our faith through human experience and hear God's voice in the lives of others. Wonderful words from Cheri Floyd remind us what an eternal impact this can have. Jessica Paewai shares her story of a journey back to God, marriage, motherhood and a devastating diagnosis that transformed her life and her faith this week! Contact us at www.thegospelaccordingtomum.com if you too can share your experience of God through motherhood: Your story, God's glory!

Do you really believe that God will order and provide for your entire day? Is He obliged to help you with the things you want to do that are not His will? Maybe, just today doesn't have to be as hard as we are going to make it? And yet, it can still be Good.

It's very tempting for us; we have our projects, there are things we want and we'd like to have a little help from God…That's not thy kingdom come. That's my will be done, my kingdom come and the greatest threat to the kingdom of God in my life is my kingdom. – Dallas Willard
I love the humour and honesty with which Cheri shared this impulse that we all feel. We love our kids, but our love is not perfect love, even when it’s as much as we can muster. But our loving Father has them in His hands too.

Even “though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials”, “the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:6-7. Tanya Greig shares more of her story in Episode 15, part 2, available next week.

Do we pray and put as much work into keeping spiritual health and closeness with the Lord as we do with maintaining the body? If I keep my body alive, I can work on the spirit later, right? No, this body will surely fail, and I don’t know the time or place or cause. I’m going to work on my spirit today at least as much as I work on those other things. James 2:12 www.thegospelaccordingtomum.com

We’re not always capable of identifying the greatest value to ourselves. A beloved pastor once asked, “Every time you say ‘yes’ to something, what are you saying ‘no’ to?” Even if it doesn’t look all that wonderful at the moment, be at peace and say ‘yes’ to working with God today. He won’t let anything...or anyone be wasted.

If we’re honest, most of us view the blows to our body through bearing children as a loss. Hopefully, we agree it was a loss worth sustaining. Would Jesus see His scars from giving us life in the same light? Perhaps, these marks we sustain for His good purposes are in fact a blessing we haven’t yet received in full. Jodie McIver shares in part 2 of our conversation tomorrow: www.thegospelaccordingtomum.com
