When to Speak and When to Be Quiet

Good day sister saints:-) We woke up to snow today!   It's pretty chilly but we're hunkered down in our van with a little heater going. I know people wonder why we aren't in the house while we're here but the simple answer is that we are keeping ourselves ready to go as we won't be here long.  Anyway....we were thankful to see the Fathers creation in snow.

Greetings sisters in the Lord, Below you will find our article on Women Silent In The Body. I hope it blesses you. ********************************* Thus saith the Lord. Yes, God’s Word instructs women to be silent in the gathering of the body i n reference to teaching and authority over the men in the body.    1 Timothy 2:12-14 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.   12  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.   13  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.   14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. The greek word for silence is:  hēsuchia G2271  Feminine of G2272;  (as noun) stillness, that is, desistance from bustle or language: - quietness, silence.   description of the life of one who stays at home doing his own work, and does not officiously meddle with the affairs of others  silence, quietness From  2272 /hÄ“syxios   ("calmly quiet") describes
