Demonically Inspired Writings Deceiving Christians

Demonically Inspired Writings Deceiving Christians

“Demonically inspired writings have been deceiving Christians for many years. God Calling, long regarded as a Christian classic and a perpetual best-seller in Christian bookstores, is another example. Tim Timmons has pointed out that although God Calling is full of good thoughts, much of what it teaches sounds as though it originated from the angel of light (“And not marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light” 2 Corinthians 11:14) rather than the living Christ. “The book…

Silly Women Laden with Sins

Silly Women Laden with Sins

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly…

Visualization is Not a Biblical Practice

Visualization is Not a Biblical Practice

“The fact that something produces seemingly good results is not a reason for Christians to accept or practice it. Overweight Christians attempt to take off unwanted pounds by visualizing themselves as that slim person they hope to become. Our eyes are turned from Christ to ourselves. Instead of being transformed into His image by the Spirit of God, we now seek to transform ourselves by the power of visualization into the new self-image we have fantasized. “Visualization and other occult…

You May Have a Hidden Talent!

You May Have a Hidden Talent!

Before I began writing for my blog over ten years ago, I knew I wasn’t a good writer. When I began writing, I kept apologizing for being a poor writer. A few months after I began my blog, a good friend of mine who teaches writing wrote to me and told me that I am a good writer. She told me that reading my posts was like having me sit across the table from her and talking to her. She…

Casting Down Wicked and Vain Imaginations

Casting Down Wicked and Vain Imaginations

IMAGINATION, A conception or imagining of some event; a scheme, plot, or project, especially of evil. “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). “An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief” (Proverbs 6:18). “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in…

Women Struggling with Pornography

Women Struggling with Pornography

For many years, I listened to the Dennis Prager radio show. He spoke often about men’s and women’s struggles. He said that whereas men struggle with their sexual nature, women struggle with their emotional nature. I believed it 100 percent! Women absolutely struggle with being led by their emotions and feelings more than most men. This is why women are more easily deceived (1 Timothy 2:14). I never struggled with my sexual nature. I didn’t feed it when I was…

The Fornication Culture is Toxic, NOT the Purity Culture

The Fornication Culture is Toxic, NOT the Purity Culture

“Purity culture tells women that, through the way they dress, the way they move, and the roles they play in churches and in households, they’re the ones responsible for making sure the men around them won’t ‘stumble’ sexually. As a result, it cultivates an environment in which victim-blaming and rape culture flourishes and results in debilitating shame for hundreds of thousands of women.” (Matthias Roberts) These are the feminist talking points to make women feel no responsibility whatsoever for how…

Repentance and Victory Over Gluttony!

Repentance and Victory Over Gluttony!

There’s a woman named Jillian on Instagram. Someone asked what right she has to teach biblical truths since she is obese (or something derogatory like that). Jillian answered by saying that she used to make all kinds of excuses for her obesity. It was NOT her fault at all. But now, she admits it was laziness and gluttony, and it is her fault! She has repented for her sins, and now she’s doing something about it. Through intermittent fasting and…

The Dangers of “Christian” Psychology

The Dangers of “Christian” Psychology

Years ago, Ken and I went to a counselor/psychologist in hopes of healing our marriage. He wanted to know all about my childhood and past hurts. In pondering this method and reading a book by Dave Hunt called “Beyond Seduction: A Return to Biblical Christianity,” I can now see why most psychologists and counselors don’t help. Instead of addressing sin in the couple’s lives, they want to find the source of the sin and deal with that instead. Dave Hunt…

God Used to Be Taught in the Public Schools

God Used to Be Taught in the Public Schools

In 1958 (the year I was born), my grandpa bought a piece of land in the forests of Wisconsin on Lake Michigan. He built a cabin on the land where we spent our summers with all of our relatives. These are my favorite childhood memories! We had no TV or Internet, so we talked, played, swam, hiked, and just had fun together. About 38 years ago (the year my oldest daughter was born), my dad bought the cabin next door…
