My Christian friend and I were talking, and she shared how hard it is for her to “love herself.” I thought, “Is that what we’re supposed to do, love ourselves?” “Can we really do that?” “What did Jesus teach us about love?” Then I began to see the deception of the enemy in my friend’s… Read more »

The Proverbs 31 Woman – Chapter 40 – Orderly Life
I’ve heard so many people say that they feel “peace” in our home. A peaceful home has God’s order in it. If we reject God’s laws of order then we become part of the increasing chaos and hostility in society. God’s family on the earth is God’s pillars in society. When the ‘family’ is… Read more »

Because – Therefore
We know that with every action – there is a reaction. In other words, we have a ‘because – therefore’ situation. We see this coming out constantly in the prophetic writings in the Old Testament. For example: Ezekiel 26:2-3 “’Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that… Read more »

Could it be that in the last days we will have whole societies that know a lot of things but cannot figure out how… Read more »

The Proverbs 31 Woman – Chapter 38 – Real and Respectable
Real men are offended when women compete with them, especially their wives. They don’t like being shown up by a woman who thinks she is better than a man. Real men don’t like being bossed, told what to do, when and how to do it. This does not make a man less a man because this offends… Read more »
Spiral of Silence
2 Corinthians 4:13 “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Over the past few weeks I have been hearing a lot about the “spiral of silence” and decided that I would do some research and see what it is all about and how it pertains to us. Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann was a German political scientist… Read more »
