Godly submission will always be relevant. Why? Because it is God’s design. God’s ways and God’s will transcend time. It doesn’t matter that it’s 2023. For people who follow Jesus Christ, it is important for everyone to submit to God. Godly submission of wives to husbands is not simply something for the 1950s, the 1800s or a concept that is only discussed in the Bible and left there. I am writing this post, because in...
This post is inspired by recent conversations I have had with some men about their expectations for women, and their disappointment in how women are not meeting those expectations. These conversations on social media platforms and in “real life” helped give me a little more insight into part of the reason why the dating scene is difficult for many. For single sisters in Christ who encounter religious men who hold these beliefs, it should be...
For many, the dating scene is not so great! Countless times, I have heard older, married people acknowledge their sympathy for people who are dating and looking to get married in the current climate. I agree with them. It’s not easy out there! However, God is greater than circumstances. In this post is encouragement for singles waiting on God’s best. Here are five ways God provides protection for singles: 1. Protection from being unequally yoked...
How aware and alert are single men and women? People in Christ know the importance and power of prayer, in order to make the right decisions. This goes for decision-making in all areas of life. No less, when it comes to choosing a spouse. It is a childhood desire as well as adult desire for many women (and men) to have love, marriage and families. These desires can bring intense feelings that can be overwhelming...
A lot of people are HURTING. Some confide in me. They are having problems with family members, friends, colleagues. Many of their wounds are emotional / psychological. Harsh words tear people down and hurt their feelings. Chronic, bad attitudes are offensive. The effects can be very long-lasting. It is important to build up others with our words, instead of tearing them down by saying hurtful things. Words have power. They bring life or death. “The...
The types of women who are known as “pick me” women are contributing to the deficit of men who are marriage material or even ideal for a serious relationship. I have witnessed these types of women numerous times. I believe “pick me” syndrome is a form of self-hatred and a form of idolatry- idolatry of men. It is important to note that pick me women are not those who simply hold themselves and other women...
I agree with a woman whose stance is that it is her body, so it is her choice. However, I agree with an unpopular context of what many women are saying. Our bodies…our choices. Our bodies are up to us to steward, but belong to God ultimately. Yes, God gave us free will. It is best and most helpful to use this free will wisely and safely. He gave us the ability to make decisions...
Today’s post is about being proactive in helping sons to relate in a healthy way to women. I’m not a parent, but I have observed enough to see that certain problems some men deal with are sometimes not sufficiently dealt with proactively by parents while they are boys. There are unhealthy attitudes, ideas and practices that are huge parts of cultures globally. It is the responsibility of parents and other responsible mentors to train children...
In this post, I will talk about the importance of grace. Grace is meant to be given, as well as recived. Life is hard. The ongoing struggle against sin is real. People often disappoint each other. When I’m speaking out against sin Car , I don’t write to berate people, or because I have a personal problem with them. In a world where ideas, beliefs, and behaviors are increasingly sinful, I point to truth and...
Women often express their desire for security. Security means different things to different people. One primary example of some people’s expectations for security is having financial security. Lots of women want to marry for the sake of security. To some, security is having a husband who provides at least food, clothing, shelter and finances for the family. The material aspect of security seems to take priority for many women. In addition, a lot of women...
