Last Sunday, our pastor preached about Joseph. He’s my favorite Old Testament character. His faults are never shared and only his strengths. He went through many trials and suffering but we are never told of his complaining and God was with him. He was a wise man. His brothers treated him horribly and sold him into slavery. Then he was put into prison for years for false accusations. His life was terrible! BUT God moved in miraculous ways to use…
People who are blinded to the ways of the Lord have accused me of teaching things that are similar to those in The Handmaid’s Tale. I had never heard of this movie before so I read what it was about on Wikipedia and this is a portion of what it said: “The authorities take Kate to a training facility with several other women, where she and her companions receive training to become Handmaids–concubines for one of the privileged but barren…
As believers in Jesus Christ, we are promised that we will suffer persecution. The evil in the world is controlled by the prince of the power of the air (Satan) so evil will continue until Christ’s return. We must remember that everything on this earth is a spiritual battle being waged in the heavenlies (Ephesians 6:12), as we hear of the tragedies that are going on around us. One woman in the chat room shared her experience with us of…
Gluttony is an acceptable sin in our culture. You can see it in the waistlines of many of the preachers of our day and those in the congregation. I have honestly never heard a sermon preached from the pulpit against gluttony, have you? I asked the women in the chat room if any of them have heard one and no one said that they had. “Gluttony, after all, is food worship. It’s table idolatry. It’s more about the direction of…
Written by Ronda Hinzman We Christians hypocritically talk out of both sides of our mouth. We love to quote Philippians 4:19 and many other similar verses, then in the next breath say that even though we know what God’s Word tells us about His promises and how we are to raise our children, we just can’t afford to have very many (if any) children, nor can we afford for the wife to stay home and raise the children because it’s…
From my post about modesty that I wrote the other day, I have learned that some today think that women dressing immodestly is trivial compared to nations being bombed, corrupt governments, access to health care, education, human rights, and poverty so I shouldn’t worry about these things I write about. There are so many more important things in the world to worry about, they tell me. So what if women want to run around naked, or be preachers, or have…
From The End Time Blog Lysa TerKeurst wrote a book calledBecoming More Than a Good Bible Study Girl.In one of the chapters the question is posed,Is Something Missing in Your Life?The synopsis states: Lysa TerKeurst knows what it’s like to consider God just another thing on her to-do list. For years she went through the motions of a Christian life: Go to church. Pray. Be nice. Longing for a deeper connection between what she knew in her head and her…
This was written by a seventeen year old young woman who has a mother who is a drug addict and her father died a few years ago but she is strong in the Lord! I pray this will encourage all of you young women who have had troubled childhoods and to know that you are more than conquerors through Christ who loves you! You may not have all of her convictions but I deeply admire those who have strong convictions…
From No Greater Joy Ministries Dear NGJ Ministries, Thank you for sending my order ofSanctification/Sin No Morein good time. It was something I thought I should listen to, as I thought it was going to be another thing I would try in my 21 years of intensive, laboring search for that elusive spiritual life that never comes. The words of the gospel that I was crucified, dead, buried, and now live in newness of life IN the Lord Jesus Christ…
Written By Charles Spurgeon Little know we what sorrow may be upon the sea at this moment. We are safe in our quiet chamber, but far away on the salt sea the hurricane may be cruelly seeking for the lives of men. Hear how the death fiends howl among the cordage; how every timber starts as the waves beat like battering rams upon the vessel! God help you, poor drenched and wearied ones! My prayer goes up to the great…
