Most everyone loves desserts, but sugar is bad for everyone. It is the cause of most diseases and plays havoc on the gut. A healthy gut is needed to be healthy. My sister, Alisa, took an intensive health class that lasted almost a year. She has found great recipes to build up and nourish our bodies instead of tearing them down. Most everyone, however, loves a sweet once in a while, so she told me about this chocolate candy…
Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard told a parable about why God did what He did to show us His love. Imagine there was a King who loved a humble maiden. She had no royal pedigree, no education, no standing in the royal court. She dressed in rags. She lived in a hovel; she lived the ragged life of a peasant. But for reasons no one could quite figure out, the King fell in love with this girl in the way the…
Proverbs 31:12 tells us that a godly wife does her husband good and not evil. Some synonyms for good are excellent, favorable, marvelous, positive, superb, valuable, and wonderful. Some antonyms for good (bad = what a godly wife doesn’t want to be known for) are disagreeable, unacceptable, unhelpful, worthless, mean, noxious, rotten, unreliable, vicious, vile, and unvirtuous. Do you do your husband good or evil? She builds up his home, instead of tearing it down. She speaks respectfully to him,…
On Saturday, I was sick so I watched a Christmas movie on a Christian channel. It was about three couples and two single men getting stuck in a snowstorm and having to stay in an run-down old chapel. One of the couples was just married and on their honeymoon but she was continually upset with her husband because he wouldn’t listen to and obey her suggestions. One time, she stomped away and he looked at the man next to him…
Written By Charles Spurgeon Paul’s great object was not merely to instruct and to improve, but to save. Anything short of this would have disappointed him; he would have men renewed in heart, forgiven, sanctified, in fact, saved. Have our Christian labours been aimed at anything below this great point? Then let us amend our ways, for of what avail will it be at the last great day to have taught and moralized men if they appear before God unsaved?…
Women wear yoga pants these days, and they wear them every day and everywhere. I’m not sure about you, but I wouldn’t dare wear them out in public like many women do today. My main reason for not wearing them is how immodest they are because they show every single curve of a woman’s front and back side; some are worse than others. Yes, honest men will tell you that they are immodest as well. Kerry Folan has another reason…
Most of you know that I receive comments that scold and ridicule me about what I teach. I received this comment yesterday from Pamkitten (at least this is what she calls herself). I thought I would answer her in a blog post. “Women fight against this because 1) women are tired of the arrogant way some of you push Scriptures to tell women and beat them over the head about what they are supposedly are doing wrong.” If you aren’t…
A virtuous woman’s husband trusts her. He trusts her with his finances. She carefully lives within his income and does what she can to never shame him about how much money he makes or puts him into debt. She will go without all that she wants (not needs) in order to please him. If finances are tight, she makes her food from scratch, gardens, then cans her produce or whatever she can to make ends meet. She takes care of…
Virtuous women are hard to find, and their price is far above rubies. Did you know that rubies are one of the most difficult gems to find? They are one of the hardest gems as well, so they don’t break easily as do the lesser gems. Virtuous women don’t break easily either. Their hope is in the LORD and in His strength. They are steadfast in their faith and in their commitment to their husband. They don’t let their emotions…
Sarah Stewart Holland ran for City Commission and won. I want to answer a question sheasked in her post about it.“Here are some of the comments I got that I’m guessing my male opponents didn’t: Are you married? What does your husband do? These comments came from both men and women. I often got asked if I had children, which didn’t bother me. What did bother me is that severalpeople – again men and women – openly questioned how I…
