10 spiritual truths christian women rarely hear
TRANSCRIPT
1. LIFE IS NOT SHORT Eternal life is actually quite long. Trying to achieve your best experiences on earth may deduct from your experience in the afterlife.
Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven (Mat 6:20)
2. SHOPPING IS A REAL ADDICTION & GENUINE IDOLATRY
Excessive shopping has a poisonous effect on the spiritual life because it shifts your devotion from the Creator to the created.
Diet from lesser goods To increase appetite for highest good!
3. VANITY IS NOT A VIRTUE Giving excessive attention to how
you look is a heavy and
harmful burden. How much time &
money is lost in trying to obtain
momentary notice?
…let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the
imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is
very precious. (1 Peter 3:4)
4. WOMEN’S CURVES ARE SENSUAL
Don’t underestimate how fitted clothing arouses the sexual senses of men. Accentuating the shape of your sexual parts draws unhealthy
attention and makes for unnecessary distraction.
…sinning against your brothers and
wounding their
conscience when it is
weak, you sin against Christ.
(1 Cor 8:12)
5. WOMEN SUFFER FROM PRIDE THE SAME AS MEN
Pride is a high or excessive esteem of one's self for some real or imagined superiority, as
rank, wealth, talents, character, etc.
Those who honor themselves will be humbled, but people who
humble themselves will be honored. (Luke 14:11)
6. EXTREME FEMINISM OPPOSES FEMININITY
Feminism as a correction to chauvinism is fighting fire with fire. Pride invokes more
pride & militates against unity and peace.
Masculinity + Femininity in loving relation to one another is God’s ideal economy.
Productive relations must be complementary not adversarial.
7. TIME AND ENERGY ARE LIMITED RESOURCES
“I can do all things thru Christ” is about contentment,
not ambition. Energy
distributed left will
naturally deprive
the right, by
design.
Godliness with contentment is great gain. (1 Tim 6:6)
First Law of Thermo-dynamics: Energy Can Neither Be Created
Nor Destroyed - Only Transferred
8. OLDER WOMEN SHOULD TEACH YOUNGER WOMEN
Women will need to vie for
younger women’s respect and
attention just like everyone else.
Gain and maintain influence to
lead them.
…teach what is good, and so train the young women…
(Titus 2:3)
9. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A PASTOR TO LEAD
The church is in dire need of mature, faithful Christians with useable gifts. Support ministries and lay leaders will minister in ways and crevices of
society that clergy never will.
Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus (Romans 16:3)
10. YOU NEED TO KNOW BIBLICAL THEOLOGY
Christian doctrine is a pillar of our faith and a key component of the discipleship process. Don’t let Satan fool you or allow intellectual laziness
to keep you from engaging God and his truth with your mind.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:5-6)
