TEN SPIRITUAL TRUTHS CHRISTIAN WOMEN RARELY HEAR

A LAYMAN’S PERSPECTIVE

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)

AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
