Those of you who have read my blog for a long probably remember the post written two years ago about the “Christian” woman and famous blogger, Glennon Doyle Melton, who did this after her pastor preached a great sermon: After he finished, I stood up in my pew and clapped and cheered and WOOT WOOTED and pumped my fists and well, my church is not that kind of church. And so Craig {her husband} said, “SIT DOWN HONEY. HONEY, sit down.”…
“Why do you hate women so much? Why do you hate that women now are allowed to be intelligent and get an education? Why do you hate that women can have jobs and earn their own money? Why do you hate that women are allowed to contribute to society? Why do you despise yourself so much that you must belittle every other woman? Is it because you see other women living the lives they want and envy their happiness? You…
Many years ago, Ken and I read Oswald Chambers. We are now reading Charles Spurgeon because we enjoy his writings more because he understood our new lives in Christ clearer than Oswald did who is the type that focuses on us as “sinners” and Spurgeon on us as “saints” once we are His. One of my dad’s friends said that reading Oswald was like drinking castor oil! Something I did learn from Oswald’s writings, however, is the term, “self-pity is…
Many Christians teach that we should “die daily” and “take up our cross daily.” What does this mean? (This was a question asked of Michael Pearl and he answered on a video.) Okay, let’s look at that. That’s a commonly misunderstood concept. Always consider the context. He says, “If any man come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Jesus is preparing his disciples for his crucifixion. He’s been telling them…
Everyone seems to rave about what feminism has done for women and how great it is for them. I happened upon an article called 11 Ordinary Things Women Weren’t Allowed to Do in the 50s and 60s. As you can imagine, I was curious to see what great things feminism has accomplished. Number one: Open a bank account. Okay, this is an okay one, although I would have been fine without it. My dad supported me until I got married…
If a Christian can by possibility be saved while he conforms to this world, at any rate it must be so as by fire. Such a bare salvation is almost as much to be dreaded as desired. Reader, would you wish to leave this world in the darkness of a desponding death bed, and enter heaven as a shipwrecked mariner climbs the rocks of his native country? then be worldly; be mixed up with Mammonites, and refuse to go without…
Politics is not something I want to write about much since there are so many differing opinions on all the different topics but I am compelled to use the power of the pen to speak against Hillary’s pro-death stance when it comes to abortion. She talks a good game but how she votes and who she supports states a lot more about her than anything else. She says she wants abortion to be “rare” and yet has never done a…
This picture is from Door County, Wisconsin and is close to where I have spent time during the summers my entire life. I posted it in my chat room and on my Facebook page and the women loved it because we love beauty! The road was designed by an artist, not an engineer so people would go slowly and enjoy the beauty of it! In a little gift shop near this road, they sell the picture of this curvy…
When my editor and I were talking about having my book sold on Amazon, I told him it would get blasted with horrible reviews since there are some who hate me and what I teach. He wasn’t worried about it and thought it would simply bring more traffic to my book. Well, yesterday I saw that sure enough, they were posting nasty reviews about me and my blog, not even my book! (I have no idea why Amazon allows comments…
Every year, I write a post about Halloween since it is such a controversial subject among Christians. After last year’s Halloween, I wrote about our friends using the holiday to Overcome Evil (Even Halloween) with Good. I used to not celebrate Halloween and would turn off all of my lights and not answer the door when children came knocking but I couldn’t get this verse out of my mind, “Give to him that asks thee, and from him that would borrow…
