Are the best men for relationships tall, dark and handsome with bulging muscles, good game, and popular with the ladies? How about shorter, blond, light eyes, lots of money and charm? While those characteristics are not necessarily wrong, they are superficial traits. They fall under the category of preferences; not standards. Moral standards are far more important than personal preferences. I have learned to be much more concerned about a man’s character than superficial traits […]
I am going to talk about God’s purpose for authority. A lot of people are obsessed with power. Some have their own definition for it, and misuse it. Along with that comes various types of abuse. The problem is that people have gotten away from the true source of authentic power- God. Why do people have authority? Who do they get it from? What is the real purpose for power or authority? Self-importance? To control […]
Hearing wedding bells? It is a no-brainer, right? How can you marry someone you don’t trust? The truth is, some women seem to come under some kind of spell when in love with their men. They are not able to think clearly. In these situations, a woman may take a big gamble. Sometimes, she enters into a situation or marriage that she actually knows better than to enter into. Sometimes, a woman becomes careless and […]
In this post, I address what has resulted from the fact that many women don’t know their worth or the influence that they have on men’s behaviors. This is simply kind advice. I don’t dictate to women what to do, but seek to encourage women to take back what is rightfully theirs. Many women have given up their power, freedom, and peace by not holding men accountable and because they don’t know their worth. The […]
PRIDE
There is a rampant problem called Pride. Pride… – Is Entitled – Leads to rebellion. – Despises responsibility and accountability. – Elevates self. – Cannot admit wrong. – Usually does not say I am sorry. – Is profoundly stubborn. – Is insensitive to others; hypersensitive about self. – Leads to denial. – Is defensive, deflecting, blames others. – Does not care about the pain of others. – Is unwilling to make positive change. – Will […]
In my posts, am I just being negative? To me, the answer to this is a no-brainer, in that reality is not always warm and fuzzy. It is not about me being negative. There are major problems in the world that are surrounded by too much silence. For example, many women, including myself, have been greatly affected by gender bias, spiritual and other types of abuse. This is quite common, even in this 21st century […]
By now, it is probably evident that I am not a fan of seeing all the problems many women go through. In particular, I hate to see what many go through in their relationships and marriages. The woman of God must be armed with God’s truth at all times. This is applicable before and during marriage. We are always dealing with seed being sown, whether spiritually or in the natural. Words are seed. Our mind […]
Femininity, when examined according to God’s word is very different from both societal expectations and societal pressures on women. Followers of Jesus Christ must be careful to resist the temptation to conform to societal or any other ungodly influences. Let’s look into the word of God to see what God requires a woman to be like. 1) She is to love God with all of her heart, soul, mind and strength; and to love her […]
The Man Is The Image And Glory Of God: But The Woman Is The Glory Of The Man? Part 3
If you have not already read parts 1 and parts 2 of this mini-series, I recommend you read them first. 1 Corinthians 11: 7 has been used out of context. Some people likely just do not understand what it means, and others may have a more malicious reason for their “interpretation” of it. God knows. It is evident to me that some men are practically drowning in feelings of inadequacy. It seems they will do […]
The Man Is The Image And Glory Of God: But The Woman Is The Glory Of The Man? Part 2
Corinthians 11: 7 – “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.” Some men were repeating this and making insinuations about it along the lines of women’s inferiority. In the previous post, I discussed how I had prayed about this verse and the entire passage. The Lord helped me to understand what it truly […]
