I am a 40 something year old lady who loves Jesus Christ. I hope to share my love for Christ with anyone who wants to know Him. I want to encourage sisters and brothers in Christ who are in love with Him too. I hope to admonish some and strengthen those who are weary. My faith is for real. It is who I am. My thoughts are toward God and heavenward nearly 24/7. I have strong opinions that some people can’t handle, but I hope to fellowship with others like me.
I’m so tired of fake and phony “Christianity”, those who love being seen in the buildings they go to on Sundays dressed up in their nice dresses and suits saying amen to the preacher. Then they go back to their homes and to their jobs and live ungodly lives. You can’t distingush them from the unbelievers. Their lives do not bear any evidence of Christianity. Are they really Christians at all?
I know this world is not the true home for a Christian, but I’m so tired of it being as if I should be ashamed for following the teachings of Christ. Things are tough. Many “Church people” live immoral lives. I want to know where God’s people are?
Hi, I am a young christian who is striving to live for the Christ. I read all your posts and I agree with all that you have written. I study a lot and tend to not find others who share the same perspective as you and I do. It is very hard living in this world waiting for our redemption. At least we have the helmet of salvation to keep us with a sound mind! It was so comforting to read your views and to know that I am not taking things to the extreme as some would think. I just take God’s word very seriously. I would like to encourage you to keep fighting the good fight with your sheild of faith and sword of the spirit!
In Christ’s Love,
Carol
My sister in Christ,
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. You don’t know how much I appreciate them (then again, maybe you do!). We are few in number, but our views are not extreme. They are right on! Yes, it is very hard working among the wicked 5 days a week. Some days are rough. It was so wonderful to get your post. Thank you again.
I’ve been reading 2 Peter 2:7 a lot lately about how Lot endured living among the wicked in Sodom. God will deliver us out of this wicked world soon and He will deliver the wicked into the tribulation period & judgement. Jesus said the last days would be like it was in the days of Lot in Sodom & Gomorrah. The wicked people on my job are just as wicked as that bunch Lot had to endure. It’s that way just about everywhere you go now. Can you imagine how much worse it would be if the Lord tarries another 10 years? I can see how hard it is for a young person, especially if she/ he is going to public high school. I see the tramps, pimps and harlots that are produced from there first hand. If I had children, there’s no way I would send them to public school.
I want to encourage you Carol! Hold on to Jesus Christ, our Lord! I will! I’ve come to far to turn back now. There is nothing better than Him. I take Him and His Word seriously too. I believe Him. I trust Him and I’m going to live for Him even if I’m the only one. I’m so sick & tired of phony, wishy-washy people who claim to be Christian. By the power of the Holy Ghost, we can and will endure to the end. We will overcome the phony Christians who “two-face” Jesus and us. We will also overcome the wicked and this world.
God bless you young lady!
Hello, I posted the comment to you a few weeks ago. Thanks for the encouraging letter you wrote back. I keep watch on your website for more articles. I feel like we are on the same page. I was wondering if you would mind praying for my husband and I and I would love to return the favor if you have any need for intercession. I have recently moved cross country and feel very alone in my faith. I long for someone to share my heart for the Lord with, so I am hoping to find a bible study or even one single friend who shares the same need for depth with the Jesus’ Word. Unfortunately my husband and I do not share the same priority as far as the bible and worship go. We even dispute over which church is right for us as a family. I so wish he and I could find some common ground spiritually. I would be so grateful to know there was someone in this world who would understand and pray on my behalf. I feel like I am slipping because of the lack of spiritual support lately. I hope all is well for you and peace to you in the name of Jesus.

Hello Carol, my friend and sister in Christ.
Yes I will definitely pray for you and your husband to come together as one in your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I can imagine it is tough when husband and wife don’t agree, especially on the things of faith.
I pray that the Holy Spirit will strengthen you. HE is the one who empowers us & makes us bold for Christ. Keep the faith friend. Don’t let go. God is ALWAYS there. HE is your support and when it gets right down to it. HE is the only support we need because HE will supply all that we need.
Thank You and Bless you. My prayers are with you also!
slm07, it is so refreshing to read your articles and responses.
God bless you and thankyou for your devotion to Jesus Christ and the Word of God.
Thank you for your kind words and compliments. May the Lord bless you.
I’ve been slack in blogging lately, but I will do better.
