The Learned

Should Women work? Yes, women are God's keys to the Transference of Wealth:  1. The Proverbs 31 woman The Proverbs 31 woman didn't just provide for her family. She made enough to buy land.  Proverbs 31:16 She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard. She did not just sell cookies -- it wasn't just a hobby job over the weekend when the kids were out. She did not just sell her goods to one or two customers, but was a supplier, not just to one business but to businesses. She was a manufacturer, supplier and distributor of clothes, Proverbs 31:24 She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants. 2. Lydia, the seller of purple Acts 16:14-15 14 Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. 15 And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faith...

Acts 2 13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.” 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.  Romans 8 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. My dad wrote a whole thesis against speaking in tongues when he was in Bible School. But one night, the Holy Spirit fell on him. He was baptised in the Holy Spirit and he couldn't stop speaking in tongues.  He knew my mom was a Pentecostal so the next day, he went to look for her. "HEY, LEE, YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES, RIGHT?" He shouted.  "Shhhhhhh.... Keep quiet or we'll both get caught." Apparently, pentecostals were pretty rare in that Bible School...

Don't try to change what the church is. It is a place we go to worship God. It is not a social club. The problem arises when we try to replace God -- as if the world steps into the church so we can meet their needs and so that we could be a friend to them. The world steps into the church so that God can meet their needs and God can be a friend to them. We can never replace God.  They try to replace God because they don't have God themselves and they don't expect God to meet the needs of these people or to be a friend to them because they don't have God meeting their needs or being a friend to them themselves.  Don't put anyone in position of influence in a church when that person doesn't fully rely on God or knows God intimately because what they will produce are more non-Christian Christians. When we don't believe that the world can experience God the way that we experience Him, we try to save them by other means -- parties, various themed activities, and s...

Q: My hubby doesn't have time for us as he is heavily involved in ministry, mostly teaching Bible study. I feel that I need counselling. He was involved before my son was born. A: You don't need counselling. You need a good talk with your hubby. He's a father now. And a responsible leader would raise great leaders to replace them. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2 Jesus calls us to raise disciples, which means people who can take over the work instead of being burnt out or worse -- bottleneck.

Q: My 13 year old is confused because someone of the same sex is interested in her. She's never been attracted to the same sex till now. A: Homeschool and refrain. It's normal to feel drawn to people who appreciate you and cherish you. Nothing wrong with your kid. But she has no idea where this will lead to.  1 Peter 2:11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, 2 Tim 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Flee from youthful lusts which war against the soul -- Run. Homeschool immediately. Do not send her back there. You will probably be persecuted for protecting her but at least you won't regret this. Don't take chances. It is our job as mom's to guard their hearts to the best of our ability. She's just 13 -- barely a teen. You need to protect her at all costs.

God created blood in a way where it is possible for one person to give life to another. This is part of His creation when He created blood. It is to teach us the importance of receiving His blood as well. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13 NKJV My husband is O blood and he saved a little boy from my church once. If I were to receive any blood at all, I would rather receive from a Christian than one that is not.
