A brother in the Lord recently posted the following commentary about a movie that is in the theaters right now (I am not going to mention the name of the movie- it is irrelevant to the point of my post). It left me wondering how can a believer not be grieved by watching immoral entertainment- sin. "We saw the new... Continue Reading →
How can I escape my fear of man? Well, Witherspoon said, "It is only the fear of God that can deliver us from the fear of man." So I started checking out resources on the fear of God- and I came across this 2 minute sermon clip from John Piper. In it, he explains what... Continue Reading →

I take the girls, and we have a “Ladies Theological Society Meeting” -complete with Bible Study, prayer, and chocolate. And, my husband takes the boys to another room in the house, and does “Men for the Lord.” (Which, by the way, was quite an undertaking for those years when some of Dan’s ‘mighty men’ were still in feety-pajamas and needed to be in bed by 8:00 PM).
It has been a while since I posted anything from Wretched. The other day I came across the "Arrogance Test," administered by Todd Friel. I found it to be wonderfully convicting, yet slightly entertaining in a Todd Friel-ish-edgy-sin-exposing sort of way (if you know what I mean). As for me, I'm glad I spent three minutes...

"Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more." Luke 12:48 There is a sense in which all mankind has been given a measure of grace from God- for which all mankind will be required to give an accounting... Continue Reading →
Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! 2 Corinthians 13:5. We all need to check the quality of our professing faith against the fruit of salvation in our lives.... Continue Reading →
“The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and wrathful; the LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies” Nahum 1:2 "God does not take kindly to people who ignore Him; actually, He hates them (Psalm 5:5; 11:5). Ignoring God is a violent assault against the majesty... Continue Reading →
I have been meaning to post this for a while. This video has a great visual to go along with Shai Linne's musical warning about False Teachers. Below is listed three relevant passages of Scripture that warn us about the danger of the modern American prosperity gospel and its false teachers..Weak Willed Women Beware!"But understand...

I have been reading through Andrew Murray's classic devotional The True Vine, 31 meditations on John 15:1-16. I found the following passage to be very helpful in ordering my daily priorities- as it focused my attention on the reason for my earthly existence: fruit bearing. If you are in a season of pruning, reading through... Continue Reading →
Born in 76, saved in 95, happily married since 96, moved from MA to TX in 97- did the reverse two years later. First child born in 99, second and third children (twins) born in 01, fourth child born in 03, fifth child born in 04- started homeschooling the same year. Moved from MA to NY in 05 and then moved again from NY to PA in 09- In all of it, totally feeling my weakness, absolutely embracing the cross, and in an amazing way experiencing the resurrection grace of God. So, I figured why not just boast in it? Hence, Boasting in Weakness: Appropriating the Cross of Christ for Life- 2014.
