Slow-Cooker Beef & Mushrooms

I recently made another delicious dish.  This one is a slow-cooker beef and mushroom recipe that I have adapted from 365 Days of Slow Cooking.  Unfortunately my youngest didn't like this, but she's picky anyway.  I personally could not believe how wonderful this smelled all day long and it tasted just as good as it smelled!  As a matter of fact, I'm getting hungry for some right now just thinking about it.

Time to Play Offense: How to Wield the Sword of the Spirit

The very last piece of armor that we are instructed to bring with us into battle is our primary offensive weapon, “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph. 6:17).” What do we know about the Word of God? The Word and God are one and the same. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. - John 1:1  In John 1:1 we read, “and the Word was God.”  This means that the Word of God is part of Him.  We also read that “the Word was with God.”  It…
