“My son, keep my wordsAnd treasure my commandments within you.Keep my commandments and live,And my teaching as the apple of your eye.Bind them on your fingers;Write them on the tablet of your heart.Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’And call understanding your intimate friend;That they may keep you from an adulteress,From the foreigner who flatters … Continue reading Because We Love God
Bible Studies
For the past year the Lord has been having me write chronological studies of books of the New Testament. And I have been keeping those in collections on my computer by books of the Bible. My husband has encouraged me to create a new category and subcategories for those who might want to read these particular studies by book. Each one is from my personal devotions and they may not cover every verse or every chapter, and they might be in reverse order by chapter since that is the order in which they were posted, i.e. the last will appear first. This is a work in progress, so this may take me a while to recategorize and retag each post. I hope and pray this is beneficial to you.
A Godly Woman

Walk as Children of Light

“But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, … Continue reading Deceived With Empty Words

Cut It Off!
“If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire. If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and … Continue reading Cut It Off!
Called of God According to His Purpose
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and … Continue reading Called of God According to His Purpose
Biblical Foundation for Witnessing
Witnessing for Jesus Christ, i.e. sharing the message of the gospel of our salvation with the people of the world, has a biblical foundation and a protocol for what must proceed our witnessing and what should be an active part of our witnessing. I believe the Lord wants me to talk on that today. Our … Continue reading Biblical Foundation for Witnessing
Walking According to The Spirit
