Husband too "fired up"

Q: My hubby just got saved and is always praying in his office that he doesn't have time for me or our newborn and toddler. He wouldn't listen when I try to tell him that. Is going to church 4 days a week normal?

A: He's on fire. Let him be for a while. I've seen worse complaints. He lacks a little spiritual maturity in this matter. He is like a young Christian. It's a good thing, but it won't be forever. So enjoy it while you can. He is a newborn Christian. And as a newborn Christian, he is naive and will make a ton of mistakes. You just need to be extra patient with him and tell yourself he will grow up one day and you'll miss this. 

If you pour cold water on him now, whether directly or indirectly through someone else like a religious leader, two things could happen: he will either resist you even more (because of his lack of understanding, he will think you're not on fire enough) or he will be so discouraged (being corrected by a spiritual leader too early) that he will be confused and loose heart entirely. Don't ever pour cold water on a fire. It can erupt in flames. Just let the fire settle into a nice amber. Give him a few more months, and you'll start to see small changes. Be patient and kind please.

Baptism and sinless after

1. Jesus was baptized  2. Jesus’ disciples baptized 3. Jesus commissioned us to baptize 4. Ephesians 4:22 talks about putting off the old man.  This means leaving your past behind and you are not that person. Your dead body is buried and you are now alive because of Christ in you. So the devil cannot point his finger at you and condemn you for your past sins because that person is dead, and you are not that person. You are a new creation. If Christ is in you, Hebrews 6:4-6 says we cannot crucify again the son of God.  2 Peter 2: For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog re...

Woman Leadership

I am convinced of God’s call upon my life. And am prepared to do anything He asks me to do, whether I receive approval from anyone or not.  It’s so important to read the Bible in context and to know the history of Corinth and how the women in their temples were prostitutes calling the men to have sex with them as part of their religious ceremony; and how they thought the church would be the same. That’s why the women there were asked to keep quiet. I am a woman pastor. I am ordained and I am a woman. God calls whom He wills. When God first created the world, He made man and woman equal. When Eve fell, Adam was standing right beside her (Gen 3:6). He did not speak up but watched, listened, received and ate. Nevertheless, Christ, as the new Adam, came as the Son of God and Son of Man, to restore what was lost when man fell. Thus, God’s original plan for mankind where male and female are equal, has been restored, and the curse, broken. Women and men are equal again. Jesus submitted Hi...

Lazy teens

A teen is not a kid anymore. Then again, boys mature about 3 years slower, so just take that into account.  When faced with lazy teens, we need to find out the root issue — is it a spirit of laziness? It has to be addressed. He needs to know that it is a spirit and not him. And that he has to fight it. And what happens when spirits like that are not warded off. And how they can ultimately possess a person when entertained and given into. If it’s not laziness, it is a lack of motivation. What do they really have in mind that is really bothering them or they are inspired about and work on that.
