2022, Christian Living, Holy Soap Box, It's a Bonus Post

I Went Shopping

2 Comments

Made in South Carolina.

That got me to look.

And look I did, all 25 pages. I found about 3 that I think I would be pleased to wear, considering colors and styles.

Some of you will surely understand when I say the world of clothing makes me sad.

Obviously, the goal is money but the hook that seems to work on too many is that we must look sultry, sexy, and skimpy.

Admittedly many (perhaps most even) of these dresses I saw would be considered fully clothed compared to others I see on Facebook, Programmed Streaming, and around town; but some of these I would not wear out of my house.
(In the house, for my beloved, oh yeah — but that’s another story that I’m not telling here.)
And that has nothing to do with my chronological age or the shape of my frame, it has EVERYTHING to do with – is FATHER GOD pleased. 
Would I be honoring Him or would the evil one be snickering that he conned me into believing his lie that how I dress is my choice?
Seriously, I think this way.
And I know some of you do too. 
But from what I see, not enough of us yet.

Are there guidelines in Scripture, true for all generations as to physical modesty? 
Absolutely there are! 
And I am willing to discuss those with any SERIOUS SEEKER who is pre-determined to please GOD. 

Modesty (even among professing Christians)  is all but lost in this world.
Genuine Modesty of body and SPIRIT.

Where are the women who do not flaunt much-uncovered (or skin-tight spandexed) endowments to any man in sight; either in person or digitally? 

I heard a sermon on porn recently. 
The preacher said TV commercials are porn. I agree.
Some might be so bold to call it soft porn, certainly not the stuff of pedophiles and sex trafficators. 
I’m just being real here. Underwear is advertised, wearing only the advertised underwear. The key word there, y’all —UNDERWEAR. 
But alas what can we expect sinners to do, but sin — lack of modesty is part of it. 

So this evening I am not talking to females or males that know GOD and have embraced modesty in every sense of the WORD. 
No. I am addressing here or hoping to address Christians not yet aware of how important it is to be obedient to all of Scripture — including how we clothe these bodies in whom The Holy Spirit abides. 
As I said, I am willing to discuss this with SERIOUS SEEKERS who are pre-determined to please GOD. 

Again, what can we expect sinners to do but sin?
But we who profess with our mouths that we have been saved and washed in the Blood of JESUS; what did He not wash (clean) our closets too?!
Do we really think with the Price He paid that we have the right to dress any way we please? 
And if we are pleased to dress sultry, sexy, and skimpy, should not we check to see if we really are Christians? 
Repeating a prayer 10 years ago with no transformation since — is not proof of salvation. 
Do we really think we can go to the Anchor Stores, The Big Box Stores, or even the neighborhood General Store and buy anything on the rack and wear it just like the people walking in those stores that are lost without CHRIST? 

What are we thinking?!

Why am I preaching this?

Because I care.

And why do I care?

Why wouldn’t I? My Father does.

Media for the Weekend

Leave a comment

How about I share with you a collection of videos I have watched this week. 
Perhaps you will take advantage of the coming weekend and watch them too. 

This is just barely over 8 minutes

This one is 15 minutes – a very important 15 minutes.  I URGE you to watch it!.

Now this one is 40 minutes, but if you are serious about JESUS,  please invest the time. 

Another 14 minutes, please.

1 Peter, 2022, Questions

Chasing Rabbits

Leave a comment

Devils. Demons. Evil spirits. 
Is that it?
Are there other names that refer to the fallen ones in the spiritual realm? 

Are they real? Do they exist? Do we have a real enemy? 

Oh my, my Friends.  
To answer the question do we have a real enemy I went to the Word, a familiar Word.  1 Peter 5:8.  Do you know the verse? 

Do you know it in context? 
To gain context I backed up to verse 6 and discovered I needed to back up at least one more  — you see verse 6 begins with, Therefore. And when you read a Therefore in Scripture, you need to know why the Therefore is there for. 

Actually, I urge you to backup all the way to 1 Peter 4:17 but for this session let us read 1 Peter 5:5-8.

5 You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God is opposed to the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, 
7 having cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares about you. 
8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

First, do you see verse 8?
There is our answer, do we have a real enemy?
We do.  

But allow me to chase a rabbit that popped up as I read.

Did you notice verse 7 stuck right there in the middle? 
It’s familiar, isn’t it?
Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 
Did you notice that verse 6 and verse 7 are one sentence?

Could it be? Could it be when we have anxieties it is because our humility has slipped?
I’m just asking. 

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, 
7 having cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares about you. 

Let me finish chasing this rabbit with verse 5. 
We know GOD resists the proud but He gives grace to the humble, don’t we? The WORD states it. 

All this being read, let us be alert, on guard, and not become prey to our enemy. 
How? 

Here’s what I think.
When we feel the anxieties rising, we will (again) humble ourselves and (again) seek The LORD and we will obey Him – we will TRUST Him (again) to be with us and protect us through our troubles, our cares, our fears. And as we do this (again and again) our enemy will see and he will know he lost another battle.
I like that. I like it a lot.  Do you?

Do devils, evil spirits, and demons exist? 

Here’s a link, there you will find Bible references to get you started in your search for Truth.  Click

Oh, one by the way before I leave today — you do know there is a WHOLE LOT MORE in those verses than we looked at today? Yeah! 

Love, Kathie

2022, A Quick Hello

The End of the Day

2 Comments

I’m here with nothing spectacular to say, I just wanted to put something on the page to say hello, Friends.

It’s been a remarkable day and it is just about to close. I hope you have had some delight in your day and that the coming tomorrow will bring even more joy. 

Perhaps you have had the great joy and privilege of praying with a sister or brother.
If you do not have someone dear that you regularly pray with, I encourage you to ask The LORD to bring you a trusted prayer partner.
There’s something strengthening, encouraging, stretching, and sometimes corrective when you have a sister or brother who will regularly pray with you.
You learn things about yourself. :)

The clock is chiming.
