Today, Ill be sharing a foolproof plan to becoming a well respected but mean church lady. You will need the right kind of church but don't worry about uncomfortable things like self-examination. Step One: Find a church with plenty of ways to serve and get plugged in as long as they're the...

I don't believe its my calling to instruct believers on most doctrinal issues or defend truth. But that doesn't mean I can't share examples of qualified men doing so. Alan Ballou doesn't seem to say much about himself but it appears he has memorized the entire New Testament. All of his...

"Strength and Honor are her clothing she shall rejoice in time to come..." The woman of Proverbs 31 is being praised. But her way of life is insulted today. In the United States and other western nations, feminism's mission to get women focused away from homes has been a big success. From the...

This is Naomi. She just went to sleep. I thought I'd make a thread sharing Scripture songs I sing to her before I go to bed too.

My trust and my confidence are in the Lord. He knows that we need practical things to live. He knows my end from my beginning. And He knew that I needed to let go of being in control and craving what this world has to offer. Waiting and uncertainty are often the only ways to get there. The...

No one has ever been 'too hard' on me. Rather, Ive been coddled and praised for doing even small efforts in most areas of my life. My parents only real expectation of me was that I finish a university degree. Even though it wasn't what I really wanted or in line with what my actual lifestyle...

Why or why not?

It's better to suffer the afflictions of Christ than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Jesus is Worthy! He's better than money, comfort, sin, vanity, anything! Praise Him with me! He still heals! He still delivers! He is control! He is greater than your storm, your affliction! He is...

Many Christians around me locally and online have claimed that Christians who don't attend church are lazy or don't truly love Jesus. Still, there are plenty of Christians who refuse because their local churches refuse to faithfully teach Scripture. The actual efforts they make in their faith...

Pregnant with my second child, I lost my energy. All my habits and discipline gave way to pure survival. I didn't do much outside of keep baby girl taken care of. I didn't take care of myself and I stopped my Bible reading and eventually stopped praying. I was angry with God and not sustaining...

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...
