As I have grown older, my convictions have grown stronger. When I was younger, I still had some strong convictions. I didn’t want my children to celebrate Halloween. I never trusted yoga as being something I could be involved with. I didn’t allow my children to read Harry Potter. I was careful which TV shows and movies they watched. I have always taken the command from God to be separate and holy seriously but my convictions have grown with age…
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Amelia Barr was a mother, widow, and writer. She lived from 1831 to 1919. I found out about her from Elizabeth Prata on her blog The End Times. Amelia wrote a piece called Discontented Women. Elizabeth used the parts of the piece concerning the discontentment women naturally have towards marriage, having children, and being homemakers. It’s not an easy piece to read since it was written long ago but well worth reading. I am sharing some excerpts that have to…
A supposedly “Christian” woman wrote this on Twitter recently: “Since conservative Christians keep coming at me. Here: “I am a Christian and I believe proselytizing is violence against another. I am a Christian and I believe LGBTQ+ ppl are divine and should lead us. I am a Christian and I learn a lot from ppl who do not share my faith. “I am a Christian and I don’t go to church. I am a Christian and I don’t believe the…
Should pastors be preaching on current events? I think so. It’s good for Christians to know how to respond to evil happening around them. They need to be continually reminded of God’s Word and will for us. John MacArthur is a pastor who is doing this. Since the lockdown, we have been listening to him. This past week, he preached a sermon called How Should Christians Respond to the Riots? And like the previous week, it was an excellent sermon….
These were God’s instruction to His people after they had been carried away from Jerusalem into Babylon and were captives: “Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished” (Jeremiah 29:5,6). We are captives in a strange…
This post are my notes from Pastor John MacArthur’s sermon this past weekend “Who’s to Blame for the Riots?“ God is the God of truth. Satan is a murderer and a liar. This whole world is in the lap of the evil one and is bent on killing and lying. So we’re in a time of chaos and lies. Isaiah 1 is about the desolation of people turning away from God. Isaiah 5:20 tells us that “Woe to those who…
My goal in writing is for women to think about their choices. I believe women have been lied to in most areas. They are taught their entire childhoods to pursue higher education and careers. They are told to use birth control and that babies/children are inconveniences. They are taught that their worth and value comes from a paycheck and how many *likes* they receive on Facebook or Instagram. These are all lies, women. God has better plans for you! I…
This world is going through some turbulent times. First, it was the virus from China that literally shut down the world and now it is violence due to rioting in the streets. It’s scary times so I asked the women in the chat room how they keep their joy in the midst of this. Here’s what some of them had to say: “I bought some forest schooling books and I’ve been taking the kids out and spending a lot of…
This post is simply going to be a mix of different things I have been sharing lately. A lot is going on in our world right now. It’s nothing new. My grandparents went through two world wars and the Great Depression. Life on this earth has always been uncertain and full of tribulation. Jesus is the solid Rock which we build our lives upon and we trust Him. He still reigns and is sovereign over all. One woman made a…
