Proverbial Family: Defeating the Adulterous Woman Within
She's in the heart of every woman just waiting to come out. No woman is exempt from her treachery. No woman should be naïve to think she's not vulnerable.
A Time to Weep and Mourn
No, no, no! I'm not supposed to cry. I'm not supposed to be sad. I have the joy of the Lord in my heart. Where is my faith if I give into these emotions? But I can't hold them back.
No Restrictions
All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward for all my labor. Ecclesiastes 2:10 Who doesn't want to live like that? Who doesn't want to live without any restrictions…

Proverbial Family: Foolish Feminism, Part 1

Conforming is Hard
Algebra. The dreaded subject by many highschoolers, and the very subject that gives my son and me grief every school morning. This is stupid....this doesn't make any sense.... why do I have to learn this...when will I ever use this in life.... .....are the broken record of phrases frustratingly sung by my son. As I…
Fulfill the Law of Christ

Secure My Place
Can it happen, The thing that I most fear? Could I lose my freedom, When it is so near?
To Be an Enemy
Don't want to be an enemy But I have to tell the truth Their ways are against God They need to hear reproof
The Law Our Tutor
The old law was our tutor, Instructing in things we needed to learn, Until faith in Christ could be established, His purpose we could discern.

Blessed to Not Be Confused
We are living in confusing times. We still have false teaching, hypocrisy, and racism, but we can add to that mass confusions about marriage, sexuality, and gender. In such times, I feel blessed that I don't have to be confused.
Something to Fight For
These are some of the verses that can bring out the fight in me in a good way. They remind me that I have something to fight for. That there is not only a right way to share the gospel, but a wrong way.
Dependent On My Spiritual Self
I didn't know what it was. I had been feeling that something was missing for a while. Something that I once had but now was gone. I was searching trying to find it, but it just seemed like the answers weren't coming fast enough. And finally, it came to me. Life has been pretty peaceful…
Poem: Does Your Heart Burn?
They said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?" Luke 24:32 Unaware of His presence, Walking with Him, Talking with Him, Their hearts burned. Just another man, On a journey to Emmaus, But something was…
