    What should a virtuous woman look for in a man?

    Today I watched some worldly podcasts on dating and life, out of curiosity to see what the world thinks. “Where is society?”, I wondered. Let me tell you that I nearly felt like crying. Young women selling their image for money to become financially independent in a year. Girls selling their...

    Know God and Live Love

    A poor man is one who could own the entire world and not know God. The accumulation of riches has its place in the distribution of wealth for every good work but if a man forfeits his soul for the world his poverty is greater than his wealth. This too is true. A silver spoon can never replace...

    Dropping this nugget on forgiveness

    If you have to ask for forgiveness once you’re saved, Jesus died in vain. Let it sink in, marinade, and toss that baby on the grill! Oh sorry... we aren’t cooking, that’s for sinners (Hell 😅😆). I better stop, lol. I can hear the elongated shocked “wows.” In all seriousness, and forgive me for...

    Are you made for marriage?

    Do you feel that you were made for marriage? Are you of the right temperament? Do you feel like you are lacking something for marriage or do you feel that you are equipped for marriage? For myself I feel like I need to accomplish certain things beforehand. If I am being honest before all of...

    Do you want to outlive your spouse (to be), die before, or die after?

    This is sort of a melancholic topic, but I think one that crosses our minds. There is such a beauty in love and one day we will all die. There are certain things to consider, maybe selfish, in the timing of our passing. For me, when it comes to my future spouse and I, and our family, I would...

    Church Girls! What’s your secret!?

    😁 Is it just me or do the girls at church have really white teeth? I have good oral hygiene but my teeth are not white and so I invested in a $136 teeth whitening kit system and have been seeing my teeth get whiter over the last three weeks. However, how do you girls get your teeth so...

    To those of you dating...

    I have question for you. Why don’t you wait upon the Lord? Hear me out. I am not saying the Lord can’t bring someone to a person through dating. I am asking you why you have chosen to date instead of waiting for a person, and thereby exposed yourself to the pains of dating? If you asked the...

    Eyes of Glory

    I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed eyes can be read like a book. They tell a story. Whether it be pain, and sorrow, or joy and peace. In my eyes I have seen sadness, before. I’m tired of seeing sadness in my eyes. I consider the stories people tell of the eyes of Christ. Flames of fire...

    What do you do?

    What do you do when you don’t believe in yourself? The Lord kept asking me, “What’s wrong?” I made a list (lol) and the one that stuck out the most to me, in reference the vision and purposes He has shown me in my life and future, is that I don’t think I believe in myself. 😕 I don’t know if I...

    Married Couples - Seek Peace & Love

    Matthew 22:28-30 28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as...

    Is love unchanging or does it become deeper?

    How do you view love, in relationships? Is love a steady state, a state of being that is unchanging, or can it become deeper? Does anyone actually grow deeper in their love or is it just a matter of... being? Am I making sense? You love someone with your whole heart. This love is eternal, it...

    Time of Endurance

    Have you ever felt like every breath you took was another tear drop? The enemy is on the prowl and I am not so sure I am coming out on top, emotionally. I know the truth, but am often reminded of my current state instead of where God is taking me; healing me, delivering me, and prospering me...

    Being Self-conscious: A Mirror for Change

    We get so caught up in what others think of us that we forget to consider what we think of ourselves. Our own self-image can be a hindrance, as we need to be happy with ourselves. Talking to other people can be nerve-wracking because we want to be accepted, but if we don't like who we are, it...

    Psst, total forgiveness of sins in a single verse (again)

    For whatever reason I find the discussion of forgiveness of sin, remission of sin, and Jesus' role as our High Priest so very fascinating. Its so in your face (the truth of the matter) yet is it made cloudy through dogma, tradition, and religion (in the form of self-righteousness). Total...

    Thanksgiving (for those feeling ungrateful)

    In the midst of your afflictions you have found yourself on a day of thanksgiving. The irony, how you may yet feel stricken yet the day calls for praise. What shall you do? Will bitterness be the anchor of your depression or will you find the peace of mind to give glory where it is due? Is there...

    Is there a doctrinal issue if you conflate what is from God, and what is from the devil?

    The topic of testing and temptation is usually seen in terms of proving (testing) and resisting (temptation). Temptation not coming from God, as scripture says to let no man say that he is tempted of God. However, often in the discussion of God testing, testing can take a dark and dare I say...

    Not Eating Pork (Biblical Reason?)

    Why couldn't the Israelites eat pork, was it due to how it was raised, worship related, to be different from the surrounding people and religions, or what? Was it strictly for dietary reasons that God said not to eat them (because they are bad for health)? Is pork today the same as it was...

    Do you love God like you love your family? How do you grow in your fondness for God?

    I know this sounds blasphemous at the start, to consider how many people love their close ones more than they do God. You may say this is presumptive of me, as I do not know their hearts, but it is an intriguing question. I consider myself in respect to this question. Do I love God like I love...

    Future Sins Are Forgiven Verse

    In discussing the total forgiveness we have through Jesus Christ, for all sin, it is often brought up that there isn't a verse that explicitly states future sin is forgiven (or the sins committed throughout one's life). They will argue that only past sins before conversion are wiped clean...

    An Appeal: Lift the ban on Hyper-Grace

    I want to start this appeal off by thanking the moderators for their work, their time, and patience throughout the years. You've probably felt like you were baby-sitting children at times, especially when hyper-grace and law were the sole focus of discussion for a very long period of time. The...
