In reading through the book of John, I am struck that right before Christ was going to be crucified, He had a Passover dinner with His disciples and said this, “If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” (John 13:14, 15) The Creator of the universe came down in the flesh to pay…
“As much as I legitimately disagree with almost everything you post, including this, I do have a genuine question for you. What is wrong with a woman having career aspirations, getting her higher education, having debt in the process, and following their dreams/achieving their career aspirations?” Life isn’t about “following our dreams/achieving our career aspirations” if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. His Lordship over our lives demands that we do what He has asked us to…
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…
A Christian woman who has three children and a blog had some very exciting news to share about a friend of hers who is going to do an online course about “Mothers Being Stretched Too Thin.” She describes her friend’s life: “Susan is a mom of three who works a full-time job outside the home as well as writes books, speaks, runs a successful blog, and is super crafty. I’m always wondering how on earth she does it. She has…
To be a partaker of the divine nature is not, of course, to become God. That cannot be. The essence of Deity is not to be participated in by the creature. Between the creature and the Creator there must ever be a gulf fixed in respect of essence; but as the first man Adam was made in the image of God, so we, by the renewal of the Holy Spirit, are in a yet diviner sense made in the image…
Do you remember my post that went viral in June? (It’s gone viral again with over 17 million hits now.) It was shared so much on Facebook that the UK Daily Mail did a story about it and so did US Weekly. I just looked at the UK article a few days ago and scrolled down to the comments. This is the last comment posted: “She’s happily married. I wonder how many of the feminist sisters who mock and attack…
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 toOvercome 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…
Does the name Elizabeth Gilbert ring a bell? She is famous for writing the book Eat Love Pray with a movie about it. Her book sold over ten million copies and women flocked to watch the movie. I never read the book or watched the movie but I heard about it like I am sure many of you have. She needed to “find herself” so she left her husband and went in search of meaning in her life. She supposedly…
Several women accused me of being a no-fun mother on a post last week because I didn’t toot, burp, or take pictures with my tongue hanging out. If this is the definition of a “no-fun” mother, then it defines me to a T since I didn’t do these things, nor did I teach my children to do them. It seems to me that younger mothers exalt being a “fun mother” above all else. So what if their home is a…
Always Learning has been my blog since February of 2011 and I felt it was time to have a change with my book being published. I love the name The Transformed Wife because I frequently write about the verse in the Bible that tells us to be transformed by renewing our minds with Truth. Once we believe in Jesus Christ, we are a new creature in Him, filled with His Spirit, and transformed as we spend time in His Word…
