The socials are a buzz these days and with that the flood gates of opinions and demands have stepped up from influencers and friends. Today I'm going to share why you're hearing about politics from laundry and knitting instagram sites, proving the neutrality is a myth, and how you can prove faithful in the midst of a social frenzy.

It's the annual SPF Christmas Spectacular with my husband, Andy Hlushak, as a special guest.

Join us as we discuss quotes from the Femina Quote Calendar, G.K. Chesterton and a random nameless Instagram lady. It's the last episode of 2025 and it's always a fun time.

Here's some links to what we talked about:

The verses I badly paraphrased in Revelation: 

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. Revelation 9:20-21

In a recent conversation with a friend she said " Children don't need happy endings, they need just endings." Today I will explore the virtue of justice and it's role not only in stories, but also in real life application and answer questions like is there justice if you forgive, and can mercy ever be cruel?

Text me your thoughts:

Have you read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte? 

Do you have an example of the mercy of the wicked being cruel?

Do you have an application of how to see biblical justice upheld in our nation?

Scripture:

Romans 13

There's something about the turning of seasons, especially the fading of summer into fall, that reminds me of Psalm 90:12 when Moses prayed, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Maybe it's the leaves showing their final act of glory before they let go, leaving behind bare branches, cold and dormant, or even seeing the skeletons pop up in neighborhood yards, jesting about death the deaf, but calling to the wise Momento Mori - remember you will die so lay down personal glory and serve the One true God. The shorter days slip quickly into evening just like how time to slips quickly into the future. It's not a dour season, but a gracious marker to number our days knowing we are but a vapor. Live fully but live faithfully. God is our hope and our glory.

Today is a bit of a Grab Bag of Life. Simple musings that hopefully produce some practical application. Topics include laundry, the idol of precision and withholding truth because of fear of not getting it perfect, why kids should be in church and ideas of how to train them.

We shouldn't base our decisions on how fruitful we think we are going to be. We should be obedient and faithful to what God has called us to do.

Lots of Laundry talk in the first 9 minutes

9:06 - Precision as a form of perfectionism (idolatry and fear) 

25:30 - Kids in church

As we see the fruit of wickedness unfold each day in our nation I have to truths to give balm to the soul and sobering perspective as we live in our small window of time.   

In Job 21:14-15 Job says of the wicked: "They say to God, ‘Depart from us! We do not desire the knowledge of your ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him?’"

All of our days are numbered. Yours. Mine. Our children. The wicked. 

The difference is that when our day comes and our breath is cut off, we will be with God. Fully healed whole justified. 

But for the unrepentant - only God's wrath.

God is not mocked.

We all deserve death. But Christ alone delivers.

Proverbs 18:2 says "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion." Today I am going to share why pursuing a well educated mind is not only helpful in not being the fool, but is actually part of being a faithful Christian. Plus I have a few practical tips to help you jumpstart your own journey of growing in understanding and wisdom.

------

Non HE Top Loader Washers with agitators are superior - Change my Mind.

Text me your laundry hacks and woes.

------

The Bible stays GET wisdom, GET understanding. 

This is not just the accumulation of knowledge but of understanding that grows into wisdom.

"No man is obliged to learn and know everything; this can neither be sought nor required, for it is utterly impossible. Yet all persons are under some obligation to improve their own understanding, otherwise it will be a barren desert or a forest overgrown with weeds and brambles. Universal ignorance or infinite errors will overspread the mind, which is utterly neglected and lies without any cultivation." - Isaac Watts

Stay tuned for PART TWO! The practical tips are next!

"Your life will contribute to a grand and wonderful story, no matter what you do. You and I are spoken. We will contribute to the narrative. But how?" How do we make great stories out of our lives? Today I'm sharing some ideas about living great stories and the blessedness of trouble and obstacles that get us there.

Death By Living - N.D. Wilson

"They had reached their deaths by living.

So will we. How much is the Vineyard can we burn first? How fast can we run? How deeply can we laugh? Can we ever give more than we receive? How much gratitude can we show? How many of the least of these can we touch along the way? How many seeds will we get into the ground before we ourselves are planted?"

"We must not attribute our afflictions to fortune, for they are from God, nor our sins to fate, for they are from ourselves; so that, whatever trouble we are in, we must own that God sends it upon us and we procure it to ourselves: the former is a reason why we should be very patient, the latter why we should be very penitent, when we are afflicted." -Matthew Henry

Have you ever heard negative things about the left hand or being left handed because the Bible refers positively to the right hand so many times? That's a false dichotomy and it's a logical fallacy that can trip us up when it comes to understanding theology. Today I will help us spot some classic unbiblical contrasts and how we can help our kids recognize this fallacy in regular scripture reading too.

Sound doctrine is critical to a Christian's faith and life. How we love, how we live, how we act, how we worship - is all downstream from what we believe; and if it's not rooted in the sound teachings of Scripture, it's easy to go astray in the practical out workings of living. Today I am sharing three ways sound doctrine protects us.

According to Noah Webster, Zeal is the Passionate ardor in the pursuit of any thing; it is an eagerness of desire to accomplish or obtain some object. Zeal that accomplishes good and godly things must be rooted in knowledge and be disciplined. Today we will throw off impulsive fervor and learn why knowledge is critical when living zealously for the Lord.  

--------------

Zeal for God must be rooted in knowledge and discipline.

Francis Turretin 

Four reasons why our zeal must be rooted in knowledge:

1. That we may distinguish truth from falsehood, as there may be zeal for error and false doctrine as well as for that which is true; 
2. That we may understand the comparative importance of things, so as not to make much of what is little, and make little account of what is great; 
3. That we may prosecute and defend the truth in the right way, with prudence, firmness, fidelity, and meekness; 
4. That our zeal may have the right object, not our own interest and reputation, but the glory of God and the salvation of men. 

Discipline directs our passions back to God's will. We lay down our ways before God and direct our zeal through His will.

Do you look back at sinful times in your life and feel defeated? Today I am going to share what the God blesses us with so that we can move forward from past sin and grow in holiness and take hold of the peace he gives through Christ.

Have you ever been in a situation where you opened your mouth when maybe you should have bit your tongue instead? James says if you can tame your tongue you can bridle your whole body. This might be impossible this side of heaven, but there is a prayer in Psalm 39 to help us hold our tongues and walk in wisdom especially in the hight of our emotions.

This podcast episode is so practical for our marriages, parenting, and relationships with other people. It will help us remember to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

----------------------------------------------------

“Perhaps he feared that if he began to talk at all, he would be sure to speak amiss, and, therefore, he totally abstained. It was an easy, safe, and effectual way of avoiding sin, if it did not involve a neglect of the duty which he owed to God to speak well of his name.” (Spurgeon)

"Lord, make us to consider this, that we may secure mansions in the house not made with hands." Matthew Henry

"Watchfulness and resolution, in the strength of God's grace, will do more towards the bridling of the tongue than we can imagine, though it be an unruly evil." Matthew Henry 

When we are vexed and troubled and our emotions are mounting up, it is a good and wise thing for us to hit the pause button by asking the Lord to remind us of our brevity - that like Psalm 90 says, "teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

Johnathan Edwards said, "True virtue never appears so lovely as when it is most oppressed;" Today I am sharing how Opposition to virtue is grounds for glory - That all these uphill battles in our lives really matter and are cultivating lasting virtue in us, something more  precious than gold.

-------------------------------------------------

I don't have many show notes today, but here is the quote from my friend that I mentioned in the podcast (I had already recorded but thought I'd leave it here as a bonus):

St. Gregory of Nyssa. (from The Life of Moses): 

"No Good has a limit in its own nature but is limited by the presence of its opposite, as life is limited by death and light by darkness … Just as the end of life is the beginning of death, so also stopping in the race of virtue marks the beginning of the race of evil."

And here are the Jonathan (not Thomas ha!) Edwards quotes:

"“True virtue never appears so lovely as when it is most oppressed; and the divine excellency of real Christianity is never exhibited with such advantage as when under the greatest trials; then it is that true faith appears much more precious than gold, and upon this account is "found to praise and honour and glory.” - Jonathan Edwards

“True virtue does not arise from self-love or from any earth-bound selflessness… but from a desire to see God’s glory displayed above all.” - J. Edwards

What is manifestation? How has this practice crept into the church? Can we really just declare something and make it happen? How do we pray for things we want? Today I am sharing about the trouble with manifestation and how to think biblically about our personal desires, goals, and prayers.

---------------------------

Manifestation is the practice coming out of the New Thought movement which has similiaries to New Age beliefes where you bring your desires, goals, or intentions into reality through focused thought, belief, and action and even your spoken word.

Manifestation is troubling for many reasons - the biggest being it leads people away from their true need of Christ. It teaches that all we need and desire can be found in our own power. It teaches that we are little gods with power and authority to create and call into existence the things that are not.

It drives us away from God because it falsely teaches we have the ability and power to create our reality and that our lives are about our will. It tears down trust in God.

It is so good for us to return to the Word each day and to get our understanding about God and our world and our lives from the Bible.

Prayer shows our dependence on God, helps us put our trust in him, helps us not lean on our own understanding, and pray allows us to present our requests to a good, holy, God.

How are we enjoy the temporal joys of life? Are they really all a vanity, or chasing after the wind? Today I am sharing how we can faithfully enjoy the good gifts God gives while also heading the wisdom of finding our purpose and delight in Christ alone.

Let's talk about the enjoyment of temporary pleasures and pursuing the eternal. Are they at odds with each other? Is there a balance to strike between the two? And what's the bigger picture?

Scripture References:
James 1:16-18
1 Timothy 6:17-19
Ecclesiastes 9:7
Ecclesiastes 2

"So when we consider the good things, the temporal blessings on earth, here is the wisdom - these things are gifts from God to be enjoyed by us and be a blessing, to fill us with thankfulness and to be shared, and used in godly ways." - SPF

"The wisdom is to not make our focus and the meaning of our life the pursuit of pleasure - while good gifts from God are to be for our enjoyment, they are not what we chase down. It's not where we get our meaning, it's not how we solve our problems." - SPF

""If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world." C.S. Lewis

The internet has made so many things better. But along with our ability to constantly access information, we can hit a point of input overload, leading to overwhelm and even a dullness of hearing. How can we prove faithful with the availability of constant input via the world wide web? Today I am sharing three ways to grow in our discernment when it comes to all the input from the internet. 

Too Much Input Can...
1.  Make it difficult to discern everything
2. Desensitized and distract 
3. Drive us toward overwhelm and anxiety

How to Grow in Discernment:

1. Always be going to the ultimate authority on all matters - God's Word in the Bible.
   1. Hebrews 5:11-14
2. Cut through the input by understanding what the Lord's will is
   1. Ephesians 5:6-17

"The best thing we can do is not just throttle the amount of input from the internet we consume each day, but to make sure we are getting input from the source of all truth and goodness: God's Word."

Charles Spurgeon once preached "Such merry hearts have a continual feast." Where does a merry heart come from and how can we have a truly "merry" Christmas this season?

But I believe as Christians, there's always a reason to celebrate and that we can cultivate a merry heart and mirth by doing two things:

1.  believing in God's promises and 
2. rejoicing and their fulfillment.

The believing part makes our hearts merry

And the rejoicing is our audible mirth.

"That's a lovely idea, Diana," said Anne enthusiastically. "Living so that you beautify your name, even if it wasn't beautiful to begin with making it stand in peoples thoughts for something so lovely and pleasant that they never think of it by itself. Thank you, Diana." - Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery 
--------------------
"This good name proceeding from a good conscience, this honor from virtue, this perfume of faith and obedience, this splendor and sparking of the white stone, which only shines upon heavenly hearts - is far more desirable than riches."

This past week our city was in the direct path of Hurricane Helene, a category four storm with projected winds of 140mph. There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the storm and aftermath. What do we do when faced with potential suffering? How can we fight the dread of what may come? Today I'm sharing truths to help us prove faithful in suffering and potential sufferings so as to live in faith and not in dread.

2. Understanding suffering requires a trust in God. 
3. There is purpose in suffering and there are fruits birthed through suffering.

Some fruits of suffering:
- steadfastness
- a closer deeper relationship with God
- the ability to minister to others through the comfort you've received
- Salvation to be known to us and to others

God gives us gifts and abilities to use for his glory, and to produce a return. The gifts and abilities vary, but the task is the same and we will be held accountable. Today I am sharing three encouragements to help us be ready and be faithful to the Lord our God.

Enjoying SPF?
If you've been following SPF for a while and want to support the show two ways you can do it are:

1. becoming a monthly Patreon supporter at $5 a month
2. leave a review encouraging others with one reason to listen to the podcast.

The Parable of the Talents
Matthew 25:14-30
Jesus tells us parable in the midst of talking about his return. It is an overall message for us to be ready, and also to be faithful with what God has entrusted to us now. It proclaims to us that we will be held accountable for our decisions, and that God gives us gifts and abilities to use for his glory, and to multiply, meaning make bigger, create more, make better, with what he gives us. This is a great reminder that this life is not our own, but we are to live for the Lord.

Three Encouragements to Honor God with Your Talents:

1. The first encouragement is that God entrusts us with valuable things and we are blessed to be under His Lordship. He gives and we are to be profitable with it.
2. The second encouragement is because God gives, because He is the one from whom these blessings flow, we are to be about his business. 
3. God is a generous and good God, and we get to partake and share in what is gained and we will be held accountable.

WWJD - remember the "What Would Jesus Do" bracelets in the 90s? What happens when people wrongly assume what Jesus would do in our current culture? How can we prove faithful when people co-opt the name of Jesus to give approval to a counter-biblical worldview?

Jesus ate with the tax collectors and sinners.
Matthew 9:10-17
Eating with sinners was not the end goal.
The end goal was repentance and for sinners to follow Christ; to be rescued out of darkness and brought into the Kingdom of light.

Three Ways to prove faithful with red flag WWJD messages:

1. Scripture interprets Scripture 
2. Scripture always glorifies God, not man. God's glory is the chief end; not the glory of man and his pursuits and desires.
3. Learn logic and be able to point out logical fallacies to help you become better at identifying bad and incongruent arguments.

A question we all need to consider is "Where is our security?" Where are we laying up our treasures and how is that impacting what we are hoping in? Today I am sharing good truth to move us away from a false security and into the unwavering hope of eternity.

Check this out:
Time Timer - a visual 60 minute timer: https://a.co/d/3LhNF2m

What are we putting our hope in? What is the source of our security?

Luke 12:13-21
1 Peter 1:3-4
Lamentations 3:21-26

Our security is in the resurrected Christ! Who gives us an inheritance that will never perish, spoil, or fade!

Don't seek earthly comforts, but speak truth of Christ to your soul. 

"It is good for one to hope in the Lord!"

Ways to put your hope in Christ:

1. Know the worthiness and loveliness of Christ.
2. Count it all joy when you experience trials of various kinds.
3. Know Christ's will and leave the results to God.
4. "I say to myself" - ingest the truth as much as you can.

"Don't trust the spirit of the age to tell you 'Take security in This!'"

Today I am sharing why knowing history will give you fortitude and encouragement in the current political and cultural climate plus a truth concerning birds to give you peace and hope.

History Is a wise companion and counselor.

Knowing history allows us to have a better frame of reference for how the Lord has worked his character, his fulfillment of promises, and allows us to draw strength instead fastness from those who have walked before us during difficult and hard times.

History reminds us we are not alone in our trials.

**Note about end times and eschatology - If you read the last 10 or 20 years of current history, you will not have a proper view of eschatology in light of Scripture and all the the Lord has done and is doing.

History is a wise companion and helps us learn from the past and build for the future. When we learn from history, we mature as people there’s a famous quote by Cicero that says "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child."

Charles Spurgeon once preached, "You must either be overcome of evil, or you must yourself overcome evil: one of the two. You cannot let evil alone and evil will not let you alone. You must fight, and in the battle you must either conquer or be conquered." Today I am sharing the hard, yet Spirit-accomplished call to overcome evil with good.

Support SPF $5 a Month: patreon.com/sheprovesfaithful.com

SPF Newsletter: sheprovesfaithful.com/newsletter

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21

Note there are two options: Either be overcome with evil or overcome evil with good. There is no passive place in the fight against evil. We are either being overtaken or we are taking over.

"Let not the evil of any provocation that is given you have such a power over you, or make such an impression upon you, as to dispossess you of yourselves, to disturb your peace, to destroy your love, to ruffle and discompose your spirits, to transport you to any indecencies, or to bring you to study or attempt any revenge. 'He that cannot quietly bear an injury is perfectly conquered by it.'" - Matthew Henry

Evil for evil does not succeed. Spurgeon said, "Nobody ever did overcome evil by confronting it with evil yet."

Spurgeon said "Good is the only weapon which in this dread conflict we are permitted to use, and we may rest assured it will be sufficient and effectual."

Overcoming evil with good is to offer patience, forbearance, kindness to the one who wronged you. To defeat evil, we do what is good. Proverbs 16:32 says Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Overcoming evil with good is a challenge and it's something done through Christ at work in us and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Scripture does command us not to seek getting even, or revenge after being personally wronged, society as a whole must all be held accountable to the same just laws.

Good for evil includes direct and overt acts of kindness. Paul gives us several ideas in exercising good to overcome evil in chapter 12:14-21

"Fix it, then, in your minds that evil is to be overcome; it is a matter of necessity that we wage this war and succeed in it." - Charles Spurgeon

What do we do when we come across an internet post targeting Christians but it seems off? Today I am walking through a post about deconstruction, what God honors, and the trajectory of two responses we can have when it comes to our questions and wrestlings. 

If this is your first time know that SPF exists to IDENTIFY the truth in God's Word in order to GROW a biblical Worldview so you can CULTIVATE fruitful Christian living. 

Today’s is a discernment episode where I break down a recent internet post I came across about deconstruction and what God honors.

"Deconstructing isn't a threat to God. God honors the wrestlers, the doubters, the honest. Deconstructing is a threat to the status quo, to power structures, to control mechanism. And those things never back down quietly. Press on dear questioners. It is not God who opposes you."

Deconstructing has become a popular term for those who were walking in a Christian evangelical lifestyle, but began to have doubts and questions about God and the Bible. The sad part is deconstruction might begin as a rejection of some truths in the Bible, but ultimately it leads many to a total rejection of Jesus and His atonement for sins on the cross.

Here's the red flag of Deconstruction when it comes to doubting, wrestling, and asking questions: Where do you go for answers? What is the trajectory of the attitude of the heart?

I want to juxtapose it with a Charles Spurgeon teaching on Psalm 25. There is a clear distinction in the attitude and trajectory of the heart.

“Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.”Psalm 25:5

When the believer has begun with trembling feet to walk in the way of  the Lord, he asks to be still led onward like a little child upheld by  its parent’s helping hand, and he craves to be further instructed in the  alphabet of truth. Experimental teaching is the burden of this prayer.  David knew much, but he felt his ignorance, and desired to be still in  the Lord’s school: four times over in two verses he applies for a  scholarship in the college of grace. It were well for many professors if  instead of following their own devices, and cutting out new paths of  thought for themselves, they would enquire for the good old ways of  God’s own truth, and beseech the Holy Ghost to give them sanctified  understandings and teachable spirits. “For thou art the God of my salvation.” The Three-One Jehovah is the Author and Perfecter of salvation to his people. Reader, is he the God of your  salvation?"

Progress?
Progressive Christianity is a popular movement that seeks to  progress Christianity forward rather than reforming Christianity back to Scripture.

The most dangerous thing about progressive Christianity is that there is no gospel. St. Augustine said, "you out to say plainly that you do not believe the gospel of christ. For to believe what you please, and not to believe what you please, is to believe yourselves and not the Gospel. Ultimately that is what the issue is. It is a belief in self and the ability for humanity to transform themselves and their community by their own power and ideals of love and justice.

So how do we make sense of progressive Christianity?
Matthew 21 The Parable of the Tenants
The issue with progressive Christianity and every other belief system is that it is at war with the authority of God. It is at war with His ways. For the chief priests and elders there was a pride in them and a love for their own authority that prohibited them from admitting that Jesus was from God and that Jesus was God.

Hold the Line in Your Home
Study the Christian creeds and confessions.
Creeds and confessions are actually wonderful tools to use and understand the Scriptures to help build up our faith with the truth that is found in the Word of God.

"Throughout church history it has been necessary for the church to adopt and embrace creedal statements to clarify the Christian faith and to distinguish true content from error and false representations of the faith. Such creeds are distinguished from Scripture in that Scripture is norma normans (“the rule that rules”), while the creeds are norma normata (“a rule that is ruled”)." RC Sproul

Building culture requires reformation.

Reformation is the constant course correction to Scripture. 

We need reformation because it's easy to get off course with our sinful nature. Sinners are going to sin. Its easy to get off course with good intentions. We need to be constantly reforming which means always going back to what God's Word says so we know what God desires in culture building and Kingdom living. 

"Sometimes reformation is quiet and steady and sometimes it's loud and disruptive." 

Some days it's a clear the temple day and some days its a clear the table day.

Both ways appeal to Scripture as the standard, and both ways allow us to see the goodness, purity, and potency of God's mission and purpose. 

Matthew 21:12-17 

Three things we can learn about reformation from Christ so we can be potent culture makers:

1. Reformation requires vigilance.
2. Reformation appeals to Scripture.
3. Reformation clarifies the real mission of God.

"You know what's weird? day by day nothing seems to change, but pretty soon everything is different." - Calvin and Hobbs

The key to building christian culture - to uprooting ungodliness in our hearts, in our children's hearts, in our culture and replacing it with the beauty and freedom found in godliness - is to do it day by day.

It may not seem like anything significant or meaningful is happening . . . but pretty soon everything is different.

Proverbs 14:4 says, "Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox." Messes come with progress and fruitfulness through the messiness of work.  Today I am going to share about the glory of the mess as well as a bit of cleaning insight to help you with your role as keeper of the home.

Two Proverbs to help you cultivate Christian culture in your home this summer (and help pave the way for the fall):

Grow in being hard to offend (because you are slow to anger through good sense).

• Proverbs 19:11 Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense

Scripture says good sense, or prudence makes a person slow to anger - that means the person is able to be cautious and deliberate the situation instead of being reactionary.

Be a hard worker (in other words be on a trajectory of building something)

• Proverbs 18:9 Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.

This proverb punches hard when you consider what it means: there is no neutrality with work. With your work you are either building or you are tearing down.

“This proverb applies this principle to work. Constructive work is the law of human life and progress. There is an active principle of destruction operating in the history of man; and he who is a slacker at his work, who does not put into it all his strength, is a brother to the man who in wickedness sets himself to the activity of destruction. No living being can be merely a spectator. Each works or wastes. Not to work well, is to aid the process of waste.” G. Campbell Morgan

"We must recognize that from the very creation of mankind, God intended us to be workers, producers, and agents of growth and dominion. He connected our identity to our work. He established our telos-our purpose- as cultivators of creation. He called for a flourishing garden-a productive and beautiful place where our work does important things. God did all this." - David Bahnsen, Full Time

Our culture constantly uses the word “inclusive” but is there a time for the Church to exclusive? What about when it comes to matter of “church discipline?” Today I am sharing how we can avoid being deceived by worldly voices when it comes to being inclusive and exclusive in the church.

Show Notes:
The purpose of church discipline is the reconciliation and restoration of an unrepentant sinner.

Church discipline does not exist for personal vendettas against another; it’s not about a pastor being the ultimate judge or authority; and it’s certainly not the ability to condemn someone to hell.
The end goal in church discipline isn’t even punishment.

So what is church discipline and what is the aim, or purpose?

Church discipline is seen in several places in Scripture, but there is an excellent order given by Jesus to us in Matthew 18 concerning confrontation of sin and church discipline. Church discipline is the final plea for an unrepentant person to forsake their sin and turn back to the Lord. 

There is a process met with a desire to see a person turn from their sin and know the grace of God, and for order and peace to be restored to the body of Christ.

The final part of the process is a removal of that person from the fellowship of the church.

For what purpose?

For the hope and prayer that they would come to realize and understand their sin and repent to the Lord. Then they are to be welcomed back warmly by the church.

Lord willing church discipline is a temporary experience for the unrepentant sinner, so that the Lord would use this to open eyes and soften their hearts.

Biblical church discipline is designed for the hope of restoration and with the aim of forgiveness and love.

That means for the offended, we must be ready to forgive. That means not giving way to the schemes of the devil that would like the offended to be bitter and angry and resentful. A lack of forgiveness on the church’s behalf of a repentant sinner means they are being outwitted by the designs of Satan. 

The cold shoulder is a trap.

The bitter root is a deep trap.

In a Ligonier Table Talk issue this was written about church discipline, “When discipline is brought against Center, forgiveness, and restoration must always be the goal. We cannot control whether the center will respond with repentance, but we can stand ready to forget when Center turns from his transgression. As we are engaged in church, discipline, or even when we are facing someone who has sinned against us personally, and less significant way, let us stay and ready to forgive when the person repents.”

Today I am addressing cultural push back I received with advice on how being a mother hampers life and confuses the value of one’s work. Plus I’m sharing how to dig deep and develop a biblical worldview on motherhood with two simple questions.

Show Notes:
Much of culture's push back to biblical values and commands is rooted in humanism, which defies the authority and purposes of God. Psalm 128 teaches that those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways are blessed. Christians root their values and purpose in the Truth of the Scriptures which teach that God is the authority and lays out His ways for us to walk in.

When we read the Scriptures, we find our worldview including what to believe about motherhood. It should be wrapped up in the truth of God, and who we are according to him. While worldview involves our thoughts, it also involves our actions. And so here we have a full worldview of godliness, both the belief that there is prosperity when we fear and obey the Lord, and such a belief that our hands find themselves diligently doing these things. And from that there is prosperity.

"Religion and piety are the best friends to outward prosperity, giving God praise that it is so, and that we have found it so, and encouraging ourselves and others with it." Matthew Henry 

Two questions you can ask are - by what authority and to what purpose? when considering the cultural push back to motherhood. 

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table. NKJV Psalm 128:3

How do we pass on a biblical worldview to our children? Today I’m sharing two research based factors in transferring a biblical worldview to the next generation in our homes.

Show Notes
One question I think we need to think about as Christian parents who long for our children to walk faithfully as Christians is: Are there things we can do while our children are in our home to transmit a biblical worldview?

Two most important factors in transmitting a biblical worldview to your children, according to recent research: Habits and Pursuit.

Habits: Part of creating a family culture revolves around typical things you do in a family - your routines, your traditions, the repetition in your life. Make these habits God-centered and God-glorifying. Deuteronomy 8

Pursuit: This is the intentional process to seek out relationships with your children and spouse. That pursuit regardless of what is going on interpersonally will be a source of comfort, encouragement and security for your family.

And do it all with joy.
Nehemiah 8 “Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Spurgeon said, “When Satan temps us, his spark falls upon tender; but in Christ’s case, it was like striking sparks on water; yet the enemy continued his evil work. Now if the devil goes on striking when there is no result, how much more whill he do it when he knows what inflammable stuff our hearts are made of.” Today I’m sharing insights from the Scipture to help us prove faithful we the temptation for the counterfeit comes along.

A few battles in the American War for Independence helped turn the tide for the Patriots, but it wasn't because of their huge imposing armies. Today I am sharing a little American history and how it helped me remember that God uses the small humble things to accomplish big things demonstrating His might and glory. This includes God using the small humble Christian family to turn the culture back to one that exalts Christ.

Today I am sharing three things we can do to prove faithful with past memories.

Jesus teaches us in Matthew 12 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. How do we identify fruit as good or bad when it’s being deceptively packaged as kind, loving, or helpful? And as Christians, how can we prove faithful in bearing good fruit in our own lives?

Loyalty is the virtue of faithfulness to a commitment or cause or person.

Theology can often be dismissed in really helping our every day issues. But when we study the Scriptures, learn the doctrines of grace, and seek to know the God who created all things - it really does help. Theology has so much to offer including the ability to teach the anxious heart.
