Exalting Christ in the Gathering of Believers

Authentic believers are coming out of the worldly system of religion to remain in small home groups where all who attend share the same mind: to exalt Jesus Christ and to edify one another in His Word.

How Do We Live?

"More is caught than taught." If our lives do not match our words, people will believe the way we live rather than what we say.

The Role of Women

Women's roles are just as important as men's, just different. The sad thing is that women who want to be like men are admitting they think of themselves as less than men. They are assigning low value to themselves for being women.

 
Women who love what God made them will embrace their role, enjoy it, and be creative in it.

I am a Christian woman. by Eternally Minded Mamas
Not a pastor.
I never will be a pastor because pastors are men.
Elder and pastor are the same and when God describes qualified elders He says: HUSBAND of one wife. That is plain, understandable language. There is no Greek interpretation needed
(In the early church, these terms, along with episkopos, meaning "overseer" or "bishop", were used interchangeably to describe the same group of local leaders.)
Ladies, God has some great things for us to do: teach women, teach children, share the gospel, love the brethren, serve, use our gifts to bless the church body and our families... And this is just the beginning of a huge list of things we are called to do!
We never have to wonder if we are called to be a pastor because it's not something God has called us to.
This doesn't mean we aren't equal. This just means we have a different role. Each gender works best within the parameters God has placed in His Word. We can trust Him since He created us and He knows what is best.
For whatever reason, our society is obsessed with women taking men's roles and turning men into followers rather than leaders. God is not interested in this. God has called men to lead.
There is a reason that Christ chose 12 men and not 12 women.... Men lead men and women lead in other ways under men. This is not sexist, this is just good and godly order.
Let's enjoy the things God has called us to do and let the men do the things they're called to do and let's do it with joy and gratitude in our hearts!

"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God." Titus 2:3-5

Remove Yourself from Rebellious Church Gatherings

A lot of people use the excuse of "no perfect church" to remain where the people are not dedicated to God's Word, they are only performance-oriented. I reject the notion that we should stay in church gatherings where the people are resistant to the Word of God.

2 Corinthians 6:17 "17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."

1 John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever."

How Marriages Can Last

The Older I Get

Funny how age has a way of clearing the clutter.

When we’re young, the world tells us to chase bigger paychecks, nicer cars, fancier titles, and the approval of people who won’t even matter ten years from now. But the older generation learned something most people don’t understand until life has humbled them a few times…

Character is worth more than possessions.

A loyal friend.
A person who keeps their word.
A family member who shows up when life gets hard.
A heart that’s honest and a soul that treats people right.
Those things will carry you a whole lot farther than money ever will.
At the end of the day, most people aren’t remembered for what they owned.
They’re remembered for how they treated people.
