Seeking Encouragement and Sharing It With You

Image
Greetings sisters, I was seeking encouragement from Psalms and wanted to share with you!   O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;   To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.  Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.  Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.  My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:   When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.   Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.   My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. Psalm 63:1-8  How uplifting when we look to the things of God and not that which is surrounding us.  It's true you know, when adversity or tribulation comes into our lives, our faith can grow de

 Good afternoon striving sister saints! I shared in my last post that we had been out preaching at a farmers market and then in an anabaptist community .  I then talked about how we see the older generation lacking wisdom as the days grow more evil and I share those links here again because they tie into what I'm about to talk say today.   A slow fade. Hebrews 2:1  Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things  which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. I'm going to say this right off so that anyone who doesn't want to keep reading can stop....Yes, I'm going after the clothing issue and use it as my example.  For those of you who don't understand why I said that, there are people who diminish the importance of being biblically dressed, claiming that God looks upon the inside, not the outside. (I have an article called The Clothing Hill Many Die On, you might want to read it.) Those people also claim to set their own standards

What False Doctrine and Bad Associations Can Do

 Greetings sisters in Christ! Are you strong in the Lord today? We are holding fast and striving on through this dark world and we encourage you on as well!  This morning we went to stand outside a small anabaptist type religious body to hold our gospel signs, preach the gospel and call them out of their sins. It's called the Church of Monett, Missouri and you can see brother Jim's testing of it  HERE  with the sins he called them out of.  It's an interesting story because waaaaayyyy back when I was a babe in Christ, I was out on the internet looking for recipes and came across a blog by a very biblical looking woman who was writing about the things of God and sharing homemaking tips.  I read her blog for a time and then started to see troubling things in her theology (as I was learning to discern) so I stopped looking all the time and would only check back once in a while to see where she stood. (I knew then the false doctrine that was in that religious body and prayed she

 Greetings sisters in Christ! Praises to those who are striving in all truth, not allowing the world or satan to sway you in any way!   We see the demise of professed believers all around us.  We don't know if people fall back, were never born again or were deceived into false doctrine, all of which is not good:-( Many years ago when I was a babe in Christ, brother Jim was talking to a man that had originally been a German Baptist, then Amish, then Mennonite, the a branch off the Charity group, then another subgroup that split off them...sad story as it seemed at the time we met him (while he was in a sub group of Charity) that he might be seeking truth. I wrote a post about it here on the sisters blog a a year or so ago and I'll paste it here as I want to add something to it and show you the end result of such 'so called' small things.  *********************************************** Many years ago brother Jim stopped at a natural food store and found it was run by a m
