It's so easy to be distracted. It's shocking how fast the world can get into you---turning your head from Christ to the paltry pleasures this life has to offer. It's so good that we can turn again---humble ourselves before the Lord, let Jesus' Words wash over us, seek his forgiveness, and serve...

It's fun if I can sometimes match wits with my brainy husband. But it's a lot more fun to get under his skin by saying something dumb and doubling down on it. He has the perfect reaction every time because he can't help but correct the stupidity. At least, thats the goal. It's hard to be...

I remember when Naomi was born. The nurses told me to relax and I ignored them to yell through my labor (no pain meds). Next thing I know, they plop baby girl in my arms, barely wiped off. It was their policy to encourage immediate skin to skin contact. She stops fussing as I hold her. She has...

Help me! No more fast food. And restaurants in my area are terrible. I'm actually a fairly decent cook already. I tend to not measure and use a lot of spices. My husband and his friends tend to compliment my cooking. But since Im getting help with cleaning, I have energy to consider my ways...

I am more comfortable sharing details of why Ive been struggling lately. My husband and I are expecting another child. We are very excited and pleased but Ive been dealing with a lot of fatigue. Emotionally, its been a struggle, as Ive had to let go of a lot of homemaking elements and strictly...

I wanted a place to gather resources like Scripture, videos, and articles supporting a practical view of righteousness. This is a righteousness consisting of abstaining from sin and helping those around us with urgent needs. Disclaimer: I reserve the right to not respond for any reason. I see...

Jesus can give us victory over sin when we continue in His Word and keep our minds on things above. This is how we walk in the spirit. I was addicted to pornography. I would look every other day. I heard a simple method to help. Read 1 John, James, and 1 Peter out loud so you can hear it in...

Today I slept in and didn't cook breakfast. After initially caring for Naomi when she woke up,I fell back asleep and Elijah took over till PopPop got her for their church. When I woke up he was gone. I called. He went to pick up food. I apologized for not cooking again and he was so gentle. He...

I hope I can go back and summarize the main points of this video.

Main points: A. Pastor's salaries are unbiblical B. The authority gospel ministers have to collect from people only involves food and water, according to Scripture. C. Paul often (maybe never?) used this authority. He worked to provide for himself and those with him with his own hands and...

Sometimes I am tempted to opt out of suffering to stay on the narrow path. There are moments where I simply want friends and a life of ease and comfort, even if it means subscribing to the easy lies I see in churches today. But I just want to say that I will continue to obey Jesus. Even though...

Could use prayer. Sought counseling from a Mom stress specialist and she wouldn't accept me. Left a voicemail in the morning for a Christian counseling center and no one called back. They are likely swamped. No church membership either. The negative thoughts are hard to keep at bay. My husband...

I try to keep to myself but the things happening and being celebrated are affecting me. It's an evil society and its getting worse all the time. Sometimes the darkness seems like its trying to creep in to my mentality. I understand better why we have to pray without ceasing. It's the only hope...

As a child, I remember a time of laughing at dish bubbles, art for its own sake, and bicycling past popsicle colored beach houses. But eventually, all gave way for preparing for the future and focusing on myself. This included my love for Christ and helping others. Suddenly volunteering was...

"He whom the Son sets free is free indeed". The whole world lies in bondage to the enemy. I was no different. Choked by selfish ambition, my love for Christ gave way to the middle class tradition of seeking security, education, wealth, and comfort. But Im free now. I am going to recieve an...

My husband and I are reading an audiobook together called Out of the Ashes:Rebuilding American Culture. We felt very undereducated to say the least. So I wanted to make a thread to talk about seeking to read classic works.

My lack of involvement with this forum at times is from questioning the profit of my own posts but not from you guys. I want you all to know that I appreciate your prayers, encouragement and testimonies. I may not agree or fit in with everyone but it's a privilege to have an online space to...
