Throwing it Out Part 1 of 3

admin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:00:16 +0000

Sometimes, we don’t realize how strong doubt can be. As a Christian, I know that when I ask God for something I am to believe that He will do it. But sometimes, it can be easier said than done. When we’ve got a big problem or an issue on our hands, it can be hard to not think about it or let it bother us. But, we have to make up our minds to give it to God and let it be. We have to “Let Go and Let God” .

When we ask God for something, our responsibility is not to continue to worry about it. Our responsibility is to simply believe. Hebrews 11:6 says “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” The part I’d like to focus on is the part that says ” …for he who comes to God must believe that He is…” If we come to God we must believe that He is able to bring us out of the trial we are facing or He is able to do what we’ve asked Him to do for us.

James 1:6-8 tells us about the dangers of asking God for something and then not believing. Verse 6 gives us an example of what we’re like when we ask God for something but don’t apply faith to it. It says “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind…” When we look at waves being tossed by the wind, they’re unstable, and even scary at times. When we ask God for something but don’t apply faith to it, we are like those waves…unstable.

Mod.s.t Fashions Look of The Week:Easing Spring Fever

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:59:57 +0000

Usually, around this time of year, the desire for spring’s arrival seems to grow. Stores begin to put out their spring and summer items and designers begin to reveal their spring and summer wear. Although you can’t ditch your boots for a cute pair of sandals just yet, there are some ways you can leak a little spring into your wardrobe while fighting the bitter cold.

Here are a few helpful tips on how to ease your spring fever…

Color- The upcoming seasons will see a lot of pastel and muted colors. Mix a few into your look by wearing a pair of pastel pants with a cozy sweater. (pictured below)

Layering- Layer a sweater, cardigan, or blazer over your favorite spring top. Doing this allows you to wear your favorite warm weather clothing while staying toasty and warm. (Pictured below)

Peep Toe Booties- Peep toe booties have been a huge trend this past fall and winter season. A cute pair of peep toe booties is a great way to show your toes but not show your toes. Try styling them with thin socks or tights. (Pictured below)

Dresses and Skirts- Nothing screams spring more than a cute dress or skirt. A pair of tights with your dress and a cozy sweater with your maxi skirts will help ease that spring fever. (Pictured below)

Florals- Floral prints will make an encore appearance this spring. Try a floral print bag, skirt or blazer.

The look below features a maxi skirt styled with a floral print blouse that’s layered under a chunky knit sweater. Suede peep toe booties, a matching handbag, and coordinating jewelry finish this look off.

I hope these quick tips will help you to modestly stay in style while curing your spring fever. Be sure to hop over to Long Distance Loving and check out this week’s Spring Fever Friday’s Fancies

OUCH!!! Part 2 of 2

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:00:09 +0000

Have you ever wondered why those that tell the truth or “keep it real” are often the most controversial? That is because correction doesn’t “feel” good. Hebrews 12:11 says “All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.” The whipping hurts at first. But after we wipe our tears and heed the correction, we can then see the fruit it produces later on. If you notice, those that do deliver the true uncompromising word of God are the ones people listen to more. I say this from first hand experience with my husband’s ministry. He has a reputation for telling the truth and telling it like it is. I admire his desire to deliver exactly what God tells him to deliver. No matter how it makes people feel. I can also say this from being on the receiving end of some of those correctional words. I know it is always for my own good. I also find comfort in Proverbs 27:5 “Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed.”

There are many scriptures in the book of Proverbs about receiving correction and wisdom. It is important that we walk in wisdom and we are able to take correction. We can’t always be so sensitive and be easily offended. As Christians, we will go through many trials that will require us to suck it up. So, let’s grow stronger in the Lord by denying the fleshly pride that wants to reject God’s loving correction.

“Whatever fancy name you give it, sin is sin. God looks on the heart and as for holiness, why, without holiness no man shall see the Lord” ~Aimee Semple McPherson

OUCH!!! Part 1 of 2

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:00:42 +0000

A while back, I wrote a post titled “Seeking and Speaking The True Word of God”. In this post, I talked about how it is important that we seek to hear the truth, and how it is important that we speak the truth…even if it hurts. How do we really act when we receive correction from God? Many times pride wants to reject the word and take it as criticism (Proverbs 16:2). Whether God corrects us directly, or indirectly through another person, it is important that we heed the words that are given to us (Proverbs 8:33).

I’m sure many of you remember being on the receiving end of your mother’s belt. If you remember the experience, you may also remember the words that followed those swats. “I’m doing this because I love you” As a child, you probably didn’t understand the concept of disciplining someone out of love. However, those lessons followed us all the way to adulthood. Some of us wouldn’t be the wonderful women we are today, had we not been instructed to “go get the switch ”. Proverbs 3:12 says “For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.” So, just as our parents disciplined us because they love us, God also disciplines us out of love. I believe God sometimes corrects us because He wants to bless us. He knows we won’t be able to handle the blessing in our present state. So, when He corrects us, if we obey, we will be able to get what He had in store for us.

Confessing Our Sins and Receiving God’s Forgiveness Part 2 of 2

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:00:08 +0000

So, we know what confessing isn’t. But what exactly is confessing our sins? When we confess, we have to first recognize that sin hurts God. We have to hate our sin and have godly sorrow. 2 Corinthians 7:9-10 talks about this type of sorrow. Verse 10 says “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death” This is not saying we should walk around in depression. When we have godly sorrow, we feel bad about what we have done enough to turn away from it. Examples of this godly sorrow can be found all over the Old Testament. Back then, they outwardly showed their godly sorrow by tearing their clothing or even putting ashes on themselves. Jonah 3:5 describes how the people of Nineveh fasted and put on sackcloth when they realized their sin. I am not saying this is what we have to do. But this just illustrates the type of godly sorrow we should have when we repent for our sin.

Finally, after we confess our sin, have godly sorrow, and repent, we have to accept God’s forgiveness and live guilt free. The enemy will try to steal our joy by holding our sin over our heads by using guilt to remind us of the wrong we have done. Don’t allow him to do this. We can counter those attacks with the Word of God. A good scripture to remember in those times is Romans 8:1. It says “So now, those who are in Christ Jesus are not judged guilty”** Once our sins have been forgiven we receive a “not guilty” verdict.

When we sin, it breaks our communion with God. But, once we repent and receive forgiveness, that communion is then restored. Woman of God, no matter what you have done, God will forgive you. When I think of the wreck-less lifestyle I lived before giving my life to God, I can’t do anything but thank Him for keeping me from harm and forgiving me for the wrong I’ve done. Instead of guilt, live in praise. If you ever begin to feel guilty for sin after you have asked for forgiveness, begin to praise God for forgiving you. Soon, the guilt will melt away and all you will feel is gratitude towards a wonderful, loving God.

**Romans 8:1 quoted form the New Century Version

Confessing Our Sins and Receiving God’s Forgiveness Part 1 of 2

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:00:09 +0000

I once read a woman’s account of devout worshipers she saw in Mexico. Described as “tragic”, she said they walked miles to a particular shrine or cathedral. Some of them were even crawling on their knees. This was done as an act of penitence. Fixed into their religious culture was the image of a God that had to be appeased through sacrifice and suffering to receive forgiveness for sin. God’s word tells us something very different about receiving forgiveness for sin.

1 John 1:9 says “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This is very simple. Does it sound too good to be true? Well, it’s not. There is no suffering required to be forgiven. Jesus suffered for us when He died on the cross. It doesn’t even matter how far astray you have gone. If you confess your sins to God, He will forgive you. I like how the scripture says that God is faithful. This tells me that forgiveness is guaranteed. The scripture also says that we will be cleansed from all unrighteousness. This is like getting a clean slate. Praise God!! We get to start all over from scratch and not have to worry about those past sins hanging over our heads.

Confessing our sin isn’t throwing a “forgive me Lord” out there only to go back to living the same way again. If we truly love God as we say we do, we wouldn’t want to do that. Jesus said in John 14:21 that if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. Once we learn truth, we are then obligated to walk in it. Doing other wise is sin, and not walking in God’s commandments. If we sin with the mind set of “Well I can always repent” we are then abusing God’s grace. There are some out there that choose to abuse God’s grace. I believe that is like playing with fire. Just think about how in the Old Testament when the Israelites would get caught up in idolatry. God would take His hand off of them and all sorts of terrible things would happen. I don’t ever want to get to the point where God would just leave me to myself because I chose to willfully abuse His grace…
