Getting along with brothers and sisters is something all children struggle with sometimes, and families have to deal with. Most siblings will end up getting mad at each other over something, and scrap and argue with each other from time to time. That’s normal enough.
But despite the fact that it may be normal it isn’t nice to fight and argue, neither is it right, and children do need to know how to get along as best they can, get over whatever is bothering them, makeup, and keep ongoing. In this podcast, we don’t offer hard and fast answers, but we do talk about ways we work out issues like this in our home. Things that work or haven’t worked for us. The girl’s thoughts on it. And most importantly we get into the Bible and see what it says on the matter, so we share Bible verses about getting along with others.

![]() Hey there. I'm going into 2020 grateful and blessed, saying goodbye to fear, and excited about what God has for me in this new year and for the future in general! How about you? Whatever was in your past, it does not have to taint your future. It does not define you. It does not have a hold on you, your present life, or what is on the horizon for you! Nope. Only God has the say in your life. And He has great things in store for you. Just press in and press on. Say yes to His will and His way in your life! Life is to short to sit on the sidelines. Life is to short to be held back by fear. Life is too short to say, "well maybe next year we will do what it is God has called us to". We don't know how much more time we will have here on earth, and even if we do have more years, maybe the one we are too reach out to does not. So may we live in a sense of urgency about spreading God's Word, and urgency about showing and speaking His Love, and giving His hope to a hurt and lost world. We need to not only be ready our selves for His coming but make sure we are doing all we can to make sure those around us are as well. To do our part anyway. Hoping you are going into 2020 grateful too! And may you be richly blessed in God. Enjoy this video! And share it with others! In Him, Mae Renfroe www.lightsforjes.com Hey here is our latest podcast episode. In this episode we talk about death and dieing. Death and dieing is a very real part of life. But it's still so very hard when the ones we love are snatched away so suddenly and unexpectedly. We are never ready to loose those we love, but in Christ we can still have hope. And we can go on with life with joy and peace knowing that God holds all life in His hands and with Him there is no accident. May you be encouraged with the Bible verses we share about death and those that die in Christ, and our message of hope. Below the podcast is 25 Comforting Bible Verses about Death for Those Dying in Christ, some of which we used in the podcast. May you be blessed and encouraged! In Him, Mae Renfroe
Comforting Bible Verses about Death for Those Dying in Christ
Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 1 Corinthians 2:9 What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him. Revelation 1:17-18 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.” Revelation 14:1 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” Romans 14:7-9 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Philippians 1:21-23 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 2 Corinthians 5:6-9 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Peter 1:23-25 …You have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.” Job 1:21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” Comforting Bible Verses about Death from the Psalms Psalm 16:8-11 I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 34:4-5 I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. Psalm 46:1-2 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea. Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 73:25-26 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 149:6 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. We have had 3 deaths in our family in less than 3 years, (our 14 year-old son on April 19th, 2017, my Dad on Oct. 6, 2018, and my brother Lee on Dec.22, 2019) , so death and dying has been on our minds a lot lately. I have looked up verses on this subject, and found 25 comforting verses about death and those dying in Christ, and have them listed here. My daughters and I will be doing a podcast on this as well in the near future. May you find these verses comforting and encouraging.

( My brother Lee, at the age of 46, passed away suddenly in a tragic vehicle accident early morning of Dec. 22, 2019. This is a little message of encouragement that I had the opportunity to share at my bother's funeral this past week. )
The passing of Lee Denison was so sudden and tragic, and when something this tragic happens we are often left trying to make sense of it, and wondering where God is in all this, and why God would have ever allowed this to happen in the first place. Here is something I think we all need to know, sometimes God calls us through things instead of around them. And we will never know why. We just need to know who is on the throne and who's in charge. And It’s’ in the midst of our pain and suffering, that God is right there too. As many of you know, my family and I experienced the sudden loss of our 14-year-old son in 2017. I frimly belived that if our son was meant to be here he woud still be here, and because of that I felt a strong sense of God presence, peace, and calmness surround me. God gave us the strength to face each new day ahead and joy that can't be quenched. Today we are once again faced with tragedy, and my desire is that each one of us here may be filled with that same peace, comfort, and joy that I have been. I want you to know there is hope and healing again after something as tragic as this. There is better days ahead. For God restores, gives hope, brings life, heals broken hearts, comforts the hurting and lonely, and surrounds us in peace that surpasses all human understanding. May we all keep drawing closer to God, and keep pressing on! God never said life would be easy, but He said He would always be with us. God is near to the brokenhearted ( Psalm 34:18), blesses those who grieve ( Mattew 5:4 )and keeps in perfect peace whose minds are kept on Him.( Isaiah 26: 3-4 ) |
