Encouragement for Christian Sisters

Good day sister saints ! I hope you are striving on in the Lord, keeping Him as the focus and remembering why we do what we do for Him.  We don't do it 'to be saved' , we do it because we have been transformed with a new heart and new mind of course as Jesus said, out of your mouth your heart speaks which would also mean our daily life and actions.  If we are truly children of God then we will have the fruit of God in us, amen? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance Matthew 3:8  We are rejoicing for a beautiful day today with some sunshine and clouds, and warmer than the icy cold we've been having. In fact I see one of my water barrels is accessible to water so I can wash clothes. That was after brother James pulled this big ice chunk out! Icy cold water doesn't wash clothes well so I do use a bit of warm to take off the edge and it's still cold but then I rinse in cold and the stick my hands in some warm water to unfreeze them lol.  I'm just thank

 Greetings sisters in Christ! This is just a quick post to combine some links that may be helpful to those of you who are married to unbelievers and therefore wrestling with how to deal with it.   I would encourage you to first go to the gospel link below and see if that is the gospel by which you understand and obey. https://www.dontperish.com/the-gospel.html If so then we can move on to help you in the area of being yoked to an unbeliever.   Many people see 2 Corinthians 6:14 not to be yoked to an unbeliever and think they are to leave their unbelieving husband... Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? That's not saying to leave your unbelieving husband because we have to balance that with 1 Corinthians 7 1 Corinthians 7:12-24  But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not

Greetings sisters in Christ! I pray the Lord give you strength to go through this life and His peace while we do! This has been on my heart for a while and I hope it blesses those of you to whom it applies.  I want to send encouragement to sisters who are bound...in marriage.  Marriage to an unbeliever, a believer or a disobedient 'professed believer', whatever the case may be. Let's read something in 1 Corinthians that sums up a lot of the issues with godly women who are married. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:34 How many of you women are nodding your head to this?  How many of you sisters have compromised (which means sin) on the word of God in order to please your husband?   Marriage is a wonderful thing as we see in the garden that it was

Greetings to our sister saints scattered abroad! Titus 2 instructions for women may seem basic on the outset but are very detailed from within. Titus 2:4-5  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, [5] To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.  Today I want to focus on the part about loving husbands.  This is just as much a reminder to me as it is instruction or reminder for any of you. Love...is action.  What we saw Jesus do on the cross for us as He did it while we were yet sinners.  If He waited until He loved us in the flesh (remember we were sinning against Him) it would have never happened.  Likewise, we wives, need to follow that example and love our husbands (that's a command) even if they are difficult to live with. God gives us a glimpse into one area of the heart of husbands when we read Colossians... Colossians 3:19  Husbands, love your wi

Greetings sisters in Christ, Let us exalt the Lord in our lives and lift up His holy name. He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. John 3:30-31 How have you been doing sisters?  Have you been examining yourself to make sure you are walking in truth?  Have you asked the Lord to help you see things that your flesh may be blinding you?  We must all constantly do this lest we slowly fall away, unknowingly, into sin and grieve our Father.   And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him Hebrews 5:9 Yes, He is a loving and forgiving Father but we must do our part as well, on a daily basis, in order to continue to receive that love and forgiveness, repenting of all known sin and asking for His help in rooting out what we cannot see. What I'm going to write about is respecting the m

Greetings sisters in Christ! I pray you are doing well and striving in the truth.  Brother Jim asked that I would do this post as an encouragement for those of you who are in this situation.  We thought I'd done one in the past but apparently not, and this is very important. 1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2  While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3  Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4  But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5  For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6  Even as Sara obeyed Abra

Greetings sisters in Christ! How is your day going?  Are you thanking our Savior for the precious gift given to us, the hope of eternal life, if we endure though this life as faithful obedient saints? 51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58  Therefore, my bel
