The Shelf of Life
The air was
slightly musty and dust particles shifted, then danced
somewhat lazily through the stagnant air whenever the
lady of the house bothered to open the storage cabinet. Located at the far end of the spacious kitchen,
this was the place where seldom used dishes and utensils
were placed; out of the way, out of sight and many times
forgotten. Among
the mismatched disarray of dishware, an old serving
platter was shoved back into the farthest corner of the
bottom shelf under a pile of other plates. A useful and
beautiful piece, the platter had often been the center
of many festive occasions. Now it was relegated to THE SHELF, the place of
forgotten flatware, dreary dishes, and grimy
glassware…………….
Have you ever
felt abandoned on the Shelf of Life, buried under the
dark existence of burdensome circumstances? The
sensation of feeling forgotten by God is not an uncommon
occurrence. Actually it is a reoccurring theme
throughout Scripture and many heroes of the faith
experienced a time on The Shelf of Life
Once again,
Ruth has woven a tapestry of emotions and inspiration
throughout the essays contained in this inaugural volume
of her new series, “From My Heart to Yours. Drawing on the use of poignant word pictures and
insightful Biblical principles, she offers uplifting
answers to life’s
difficult questions that confront each of us.

Becoming Behavior
Probably no portion of
Scripture encapsulates the Biblical role of the woman so
perfectly as Titus 2:3-5. In fact, it would seem fitting to call
this passage the abbreviated New Testament version of the
lady-like qualifications found in Proverbs 31. Using only
sixty-three words the Apostle Paul succinctly laid out the
perfect pattern for womanhood. If followed, these precepts will
enable all ladies to be successful in every area of feminine
responsibility.
It is my sincere heartfelt
desire for you, the reader to realize more fully how important
you are in the Divine scheme of things. Often we lose sight of
how our daily actions generate far-reaching results, either for
good or bad, within our families. As we examine ourselves under
the microscope of God's Word, let us determine to use our
influence for righteousness instead of
unrighteousness, for good instead of evil, to replace
inappropriate reactions with appropriate responses. May we be
holy women of God who demonstrate becoming behavior within our
homes, churches and the world.

Beauty and the Beast:
Seventy percent of
the human sensory receptors in the entire body are
contained within the eyes thus validating the old adage:
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. From the moment of
birth, beauty or the lack thereof becomes a measuring rod
whereby we judge one another. Haven’t we all exclaimed
excitedly over a beautiful baby? Conversely, our response
is somewhat less exuberant if the infant in question fails
to meet our criteria for comeliness. Thus from day one of
our existence, this value system is subliminally
programmed into our psyche. Beauty begets approval and
accomplishment while homeliness generates rejection and
ridicule
This faulty
evaluation method can become the seedbed whereby many
deadly ideas are implanted into young, impressionable
minds. Is there any one who has not suffered from the
jeering censure and taunting sneers of others? Many times
these experiences may have extremely destructive, even
deathly consequences. Will you join me for a journey of
discovery as we seek for God’s beauty ideal? May the
prayer of the prophet Moses uttered so long ago in Psalm
90:17 be fulfilled in the life of every fellow seeker of
true and lasting beauty, “And let the beauty of the LORD
our God be upon us. . . . . . .” Ruth

Power Before the Throne:
"...A must for every woman of God
who wishes to make her calling and election sure in His
Great Kingdom. For herein is the revelatory privilege
of women made known. What great confidence God has placed
in the woman rather than burden as many purport. New converts
will thrill to the treasures of understanding disclosed
from these pages...I am most delighted to endorse this
lovely and all important work for such a time as this."

Reflecting the Glory
continues the exploration into the positive
power of holiness that was begun in my first book, Power
Before the Throne. This sequel gives sound Scriptural
support for adhering to God's standard of righteousness.
Discover the avenues whereby God's chosen people reflect
his glory into the world. Gain fresh insight concerning
such issues as jewelry, make-up, and modesty. In these
days of unparalleled wickedness, the Church must remain
"A city that is set on a hill." May the
light of holiness radiate from the people of God as they
mirror His image in a dark world!

Relic or Relevant
In one hand we possess the past or the
faith of our fathers and with the other hand we form the
future, the faith of our family for generations to come.
You and I, the present generation, are the link between
the past and the future. Will we be the missing link or the vital link? Will we model and instill
in our posterity an effectual relevant relationship
with God? Or will we be contented with an ineffective,
irrelevant alliance, nothing more than a shrouded relic reminiscent of past power? The fate of the future rests
in our hands. What will we do?

Covenant by Sacrifice
Explore the steps of Abraham as he journeyed toward the
fulfillment of the promise. Often we wonder at his willingness
to offer up Isaac yet that decision was the result of
many other choices made prior to this ultimate time of
testing.
His path parallels our walk with God. Romans 4:12 speaks
of those "who also walk in the steps of that faith
of our father Abraham." This journey of sacrifice
prompted by his love for God and faith in God led Abraham
to the ultimate relationship with his Master-"he
was called the Friend of God."
The choices we make in life determine our destiny! Walk
with me if you will in the steps of Faithful Abraham .

Desired by the King- A
sequel to Power Before the Throne and Reflecting
the Glory
Desired by the King unmasks the enemy's tactics
regarding feminism, submission, modesty, and exploitation.
The Church must never conform to this world's fashions,
fads, or belief systems. It is imperative that we become
a transformed people; a bride befitting the King of Kings
and the LORD of Lords. "So shall the king greatly
desire thy beauty..." (Psalm 45:11)
