Sapphira
Sapphira and her husband are only mentioned this one time in the Bible, but it is powerful and will leave you thinking. Sapphira is an example of what happens to you when you lie. God hates lies. “Lying lips are abomination to the Lord, but they that deal truly are his delight” (Proverbs 12:22). This should be a lesson to us all.

Satan
A friend of mine came to me and asked me this question, “How did Satan fall?” And I didn’t have an answer for her so I told her that I would find the answer and get back to her. Just because we are Christians it doesn’t mean we know everything about the Bible. We could live a hundred years and still, we wouldn’t know everything. The question was one I didn’t really know. I knew Satan fell because the Bible says in Luke 10:18, “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from Heaven.” In order for us to know how he fell, we need to delve into who Satan was before his fall. So let’s look into what the Bible has to say about not what men want us to know.

Miriam,
“The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam” (Numbers 26:59, NKJV). Miriam means bitter. Miriam is the older sister of Aaron and Moses. It was Miriam who watched Moses (when he was in a basket) from afar and she also mentioned to Pharoah’s daughter about finding a Hebrew woman for the baby Moses. Even though the mother gave Moses up (it was to protect him) it was through the providence of God that she was able to get him back. She taught him all he needed to know that he was a Hebrew and was not an Egyptian.

2 Crochet Patterns
Turn Leftover Yarn Into a Cute Crocheted Preemie Hat I love to crochet. I had never crocheted a preemie hat before, but I decided to try it because I had some leftover yarn. The leftover yarn wasn’t long enough for a big project but it was perfect for a small hat. One evening, I sat down with a cup of coffee and just crocheted until I ran out of yarn. These hats are great if you know someone who has a preemie baby or if you want to crochet a bunch of hats to donate.

Elizabeth,
Can you imagine being barren and old and being told you would bear a son? There would be some disbelief and maybe wanting a sign like Zacharias in Luke 1:18 “And Zacharias said unto the angel, whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.” It would be hard for most people to believe this, but God can make anything possible for he is the creator. This miracle happened because John the Baptist was to go before, to announce the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Lydia,
Paul, with Timothy, Silas, and Luke came “to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days” (Acts 16:12). Paul, Timothy, Silas, and Luke went out Philippi's city gate on the Sabbath to and spoke to the women that were gathered at the riverside. We can say that there were probably some Jews living there since they were scattered abroad. According to Barnes “that the Jews were accustomed to provide water, or to build their synagogues and oratories near water, for the convenience of the numerous washings before and during their religious services. And when they spake unto the women it was probably before the regular service of the place commenced”.

Priscilla,
In the Bible, we can read about great men and women who helped spread the gospel at the risk of losing their lives. This article will focus on Priscilla along with her husband Aquila. There isn't much on Priscilla in the Bible but what we do know is that she was a convert to the Christian church and was a friend to Paul. We first read about Priscilla and her husband, Aquila in Acts 18:1-3, where they meet Paul.
