That's right, women pastors is the topic! This can be a heated issue so let's jump right in! I have heard people say that part of the reason women shouldn't be pastors is because we are too emotional or hormonal to lead anything. They are holding the belief that somehow just because we go through a time of the month that can lead to extra emotions will somehow make us incapable of being in charge of anything important. If you think this or know someone who has said it, then your head is in the wrong place. That's a worldly view on a biblical topic. The world does not define who we are as people, or as women. God does. Our Identity is found in Christ alone.  A woman's ability or calling to lead has absolutely  nothing to do with her having too many emotions or hormones to properly execute tasks or a certain role that may hold  authority.  The only thing that matters on this topic is the Bible and what it says, not my opinion, not your neighbors, not even your

Before I dig into the explanation, let  answer the question. Is everyone a "child of God?" Simply put, the answer is no. Now lets go further into this!!! Did God create you? Yes! Colossians 1:16 - For by Him all things were created, in the heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities- all things were created through Him and for Him. Does God love you? Absolutely! John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. However, like I said, that doesn't make you a "child of God." Only those who receive Him as the Savior will become His children. Romans 9:8 - This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise that are counted as offspring. So what does all this mean? It means that because of "The Fall" of Adam and Eve (read Genesis 3), we are all b

How do we know what a false teaching is vs. what the Truth, or God's word truly is? It's simple really, anything that contradicts what the Bible says is false and should therefore be avoided.  Okay easy answer. What about the signs of this? How can you tell if it's a contradiction?  Signs of false teachings will be things such as taking away or adding to the word, misinterpretation of the word, etc. False teachings can also be just when someone is preaching and choosing to omit the parts of the word that don't "sound good" for their own gain. Whether it's to be liked by man, or to continue to receive their big paycheck or their TV deal, etc.  The most common false teaching that fits the above description is that of "prosperity gospel," which is the teaching of using God for your own gain and purpose rather than doing what scripture tells us to do, which is allow God to use us for His purpose.  These teachers that use a prospe

I've said this before but I think it's time to say it again. I know I share it often but it's so important to get it out there that I will continue to repeat it as many times as I need to so that everyone can hear this important truth. Jesus is coming soon!!! This is typically a Facebook status that I post but figure since I share my blog in places other than Facebook, I should share this here as well. This is also going to be an elevated version of the Facebook post with more information, details, explanation, and most importantly, scripture! So here we go!! Jesus is no joke y'all. Heaven is real. Hell is real. When you die and leave this Earth, you will end up in Heaven or in Hell. You get to decide where you're going because when Jesus died for you on the cross, that was His GIFT to you. You do NOT need to earn it, it's His gift to everyone. All He asked is that you believe Him, you believe and follow His word and you accept him as your Lord and Savior.

Everyone has their part to play in many different scenarios. In this we are speaking about the roles we play in marriage as husband and wife. More specifically I am going to speak about the roles of the wife; and even more specifically I am going to obviously be speaking about the Godly roles of a wife. If you have been reading my blog posts thus far or even if you are visiting my site for the first time now, it is apparent that I am a Christian and that this blog speaks on issues from a biblical stand point.  So that's what you get when you read what I have to say, truth from the Bible and the Bible alone. So here it is, being a Godly wife. In order to know what it means to be a Godly wife, we must first understand what the word Godly means. We can get this from 1 Timothy 2:2 in which Paul uses the word in conjunction with peaceful, quiet, and dignified. To be Godly is to be Christlike, also meaning to strive to imitate Christ, who is perfect. Although we all know as sinners

I've been wanting to write a post about how to be more Christ-like and what that means. I'm still working on the Marriage Roles post because let's face it, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to marriage! So I am still trucking away on that one!  Anyways, something happened to me recently in a Christian community that I am apart of on Facebook that just gave me the perfect example of what's it's like to NOT be Christ-like as a Christian; and how damaging that can be to fellow Christians you will encounter.   When you are a true follower of Christ you will come under attack frequently. If you're not being persecuted then you're probably doing something wrong. Not everyone agreed with Jesus, I mean look how that ended, He was crucified for claiming to be exactly who He is. So as followers of Him, people won't always agree with us and they will find ways to attack you or find your flaws and try to exploit them.  Well before I get into
