1. What does Scripture teach about women working outside the home? Generally, we are not given instructions about all situations or problems we encounter, as was Israel under the law. Paul provides general guidelines to guide us. At times, Paul gives his judgment on marriage using general principles he learned, which becomes the Word. (I... Continue Reading →
1. How do we ‘put on’ and ‘put off’ things in our walk as believers?A simple example: A saint who has been walking after the flesh can ‘put off’ the flesh by ‘putting on’ God’s way of thinking, to manifest Christ.

What is an idol? It is anything on which we set excessive attachment, usurping God andHis Word.

Could you clarify Titus 2:4… how to love my husband and children? The term love has two aspects. One is to have godly care, devotion, and affection and the other is charity, which is love in action. “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly... Continue Reading →
Learning to see someone’s heart and soul, rather than focusing on their flesh is beneficial as we minister. I call it having ‘love eyes’ for others. Godly love is unconditional love and kindness, yet we are to remember: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” (Col. 3:23)... Continue Reading →
Faith is something unseen, invisible to human eyes: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Heb. 11:1) So, sometimes what we believe can feel allusive, especially during difficulties. Our view of God can be limited by what we know, but also what we trust in the depth... Continue Reading →
Most saints don’t understand how the doctrines actually work with sufferings for our benefit. They’re specifically designed to be ‘for us’ in this dispensation: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) Difficult situations are humbling...

A card game has similar aspects to our faith walk and can help us think about choices. Will we decide to be a player?

Why do we sometimes feel as if we are held captive and do things we don’t want to do? The reason is we still have the flesh, which has lust and sin. This will not change until we get our glorious new bodies. Satan is temporarily the god of this world (II Cor 4:4), but... Continue Reading →
““And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;” I Thesssalonians 4:11 In this society and time, saints seem to have the tendency to stay in a state of busyness. This is a focus on the issues of this life,... Continue Reading →
Pro 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Pro 31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. Pro 31:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. Pro 31:13 She... Continue Reading →
The carnal believer, walks as a man and wastes time on fleeting vanity, but the spiritual man, walks as a son of God and redeems it with the wisdom of Christ. One squanders earthly resources for no gain, while the other, endued with divine wisdom, invests in eternity. The difference - one spends the other... Continue Reading →
Sometimes, a saint may think to themselves, How can I encourage others, when I live far away or am homebound? We are to be God's representatives while we are here on earth: “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.” (II...

In our walk, understanding how to walk worthy in Christ is vital. Ephesians 5, where we're instructed to "walk circumspectly," offers rich insights worth our attentive meditation.

As I continue to explore the believers walk from Ephesians 5 my understanding is heightened to God's profound call to believers to live with intentionality and spiritual awareness. Much can be considered in Ephesians 5:8-14, but in v10-15 Paul provides a framework for understanding how believers should navigate their relationship with the Lord and in turn the...

In the scriptures, we often encounter the profound contrast between light and darkness. From Genesis "in the beginning" and "let there be light" to Revelation and "a new heaven and new earth" with the "new Jerusalem" where "there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the...

In our studies of God's Word, we often grapple with the tension between our positional identity in Christ and our practical, day-to-day walk. As believers, it is evident, we are called to a higher standard - one that reflects the new man as children of God. But what does this look like in practice? The... Continue Reading →
