Abstinence is unrealistic and old fashioned

Christian Women Bloggers: Maintaining God-Intended Femininity
"Since the publication of my book, Should She Preach? - Biblical Evangelism for Women, I have received questions from several sisters in Christ regarding to what extend can Christian women write, teach, and or share the gospel online (i.e. blogs, journals, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.). It's a legitimate question. Some Christian women have asked the question in a sincere and thoughtful way, while others have asked the question with venom in their words, ready for a fight."

O Magnify the Lord With Me ~ A Marriage Plea
Since I've been homeschooling these last three years, I haven't had much time to write what's been on my heart as much. For this season in my life, I'll have to let videos and other authors do it for me.
I was moved deeply by this sermon excerpt from a wedding on May 19, 2012. Bob Jennings, who gave the service, went home to be with Jesus shortly after in November 2012.

What is Legalism?
Legalism is:
1. Distorting the gospel by adding conditions to free grace: Acts 15:1, 7-11; Gal.1:6-7, 2:11-16, 4:8-11, Gal. 5:2-4; Col. 2:16-17.
2. Substituting man-made regulations for the Word of God: Matthew 15:1-3.
3. Majoring on the minors and neglecting the more important issues: Luke 11:42.
4. Over concern with the externals while disregarding matters of the heart: Matthew 23:27.
5. Regarding with contempt or judging a brother based on matters of personal conviction: Romans 14:1-5.
6. Trusting in ourselves that we are righteous based on religious performance: Luke 18:9-14.
7. Hypocrisy, the leaven of the Pharisees: Luke 11:53-12:1.
Legalism is not:
1. A zeal for the commandments of Christ: Matthew 5:19; 1 Corinthians 7:19.
2. A ministry that teaches others to follow Christ in obedience: Matthew 28:20; 1 Thes.4:1-2.
3. Strong personal convictions (as long as they are not required of others): Romans 14:2, 5.
4. Man-made restrictions for personal protection from sinful habits (as long as we do not begin to view them as binding on others): Romans 13:14; 1 Corinthians 6:12.
5. A zeal for good works: Eph.2:10; Titus 1:16, 2:7, 14, 3:8, 14.
6. Limiting our liberty for the benefit of others: Romans 14:15, 21, 15:2; Acts 16:1-3.
7. Obedience: John 14:15, 23, 15:10; 1 John 2:3-5, 5:2-4.

Feminism is of the World - Femininity is of the Lord
Women's Liberation is nothing more than Women's Minimization. The worldly and demonic philosophy of Women's Liberation communicates to women than they can do anything a man can do and they should try to do it. Yet, God created Woman for a much higher purpose than to imitate Man. He created Woman to be that which Man can never be--a bride, a helpmate, a mother, a person with dignity equal to Man's, but with a distinctly different, God-ordained, and beautiful role in His grand and perfect design. Feminism is of the world. Femininity is of the Lord. And, in this case, opposites do NOT attract. ~ Tony Miano

Jesus or Your Favorite...?
"If the Biblical Jesus Christ were to rebuke your favorite theologian, favorite denomination, favorite politician, or favorite sin, would you forsake all and follow Him? Or would you cling to what you "feel" is right in the face of Truth and be as the rich young ruler who turned from Christ. Or the throngs of people who only wanted a Christ to vanquish their enemies, feed them unlimited fish and bread and not dare crush them and their sin?"

Life After Abortion Trailer
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah

To Train Her Children: Young Men's Attitude Towards Women
This is a lecture for college age young men, but I had my sixteen year old watch it. My goal for my boys is to fear and love God with their soul, mind and strength and be godly husbands. Their future wives are depending on me to show my them how to treat them, and that females are not objects to play with emotionally and physically.
"When you are around girls, you treat them with the utmost dignity even though it might even be offensive to them."

Abortion: A New Perspective
When I was about 12 years old, I saw raw footage on television of the Holocaust. I was haunted by the gruesome images of the endless piles of mangled bodies to be disposed of like rubbish. Their lifeless, emaciated faces brought sadness in my heart of what their life was like, and what could have been. Their humanity was stricken by an evil regime determined to exterminate, rob and erase their heritage.
At the same time, I was curious how the entire western civilization allowed such atrocities to go on as long as it did. I remember in Jr. High writing an essay about the Holocaust and the indescribable horrors. Even though I got an “A” on my assignment, my question was never answered from my research. How could seemingly decent normal people, who love their families, enjoy museums, music, go to church, etc., and vote Hitler in, knowing full well of his anti-Semitic views? Where was the outrage from the neighbors, co-workers, and teachers as to why there were empty homes, classroom seats and company desks? There must have been a great amount of fear, but still, why didn’t the masses revolt over something so disgustingly inhumane? In retrospect, it is easy to judge.
A couple of years ago, I ran across a testimonial video of Gianna Jessen, an abortion survivor. I didn’t know there was such a thing as an abortion survivor, but here she was speaking so eloquently about her life and purpose. The one thing she said that grabbed my heart was, “...the silent Holocaust didn’t get me!” Right then I knew my answer to my question about the Third Reich. As a culture and our depraved nature, we compartmentalize abortion to an issue which brings indifference, which in turn can be self seeking. Most people who call themselves a pro-lifer would deny they are indifferent, but their voting record would indicate the issue of abortion is not a priority.
I recently watched a documentary of the rise and fall of The Third Reich. Hitler rose to power coming out of the depression and the people were desperate for relief. His systematic way of taking over European countries, robbing businesses, lives and the press, was bringing revenue to Germany like never before. Many German voters didn’t like Hitler’s personality and world view, but were willing to put all those issues aside for wealth and patriotism. After Hitler came to power, many of the German people, for the first time, were eating fine delicacies, taking lavish vacations, and living in comfort afforded to them by their socialistic dictator.
How much do we compartmentalize the life that is inside the womb to an issue? Do you vote for the lesser of two evils? Are wealth, freedom, your party and patriotism more important than the millions of human lives being snuffed out every year in our country? As a culture, we have dehumanized a beautiful and natural life stage, and it has infiltrated thinking more than we realize.
If over half of the population says they are pro-life in our country, then why is it still legal? The apathy for innocent lives, just like most of the Germans of WW2, is worse than a staunch pro-choice feminist; especially if you call yourself a Christian, because it is the majority who rules. We need to take a stand in the polls, unlike those who silently voted Hitler in, and stop voting for the lesser of two evils! If only half of the population who declares itself to be pro-life would vow to never vote for the pro-choice candidate regardless of their party, and put pressure on the politicians, I believe we will see this silent Holocaust come to an end. This may seem ideal to some, but it was just as daunting with the abolitionists of the Civil War.
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. 1 Timothy 6:17

The Principles of Courtship
This sermon is excellent on the biblical principles courtship. It also addresses the legalism if we go too far. It's about the heart and not rules.
and said, ‘Therefore a Man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? Matthew 19:5 (Emphasis mine)

Recovering Biblical Womanhood - Paul Washer
As you can see, I'm a big fan of Paul Washer. I've met him at a meeting last fall, and he is just an everyday brother who loves the Lord and has devoted his life to serve Him. I believe God has raised him up to jar this generation out of our lukewarm sleep through his fiery sermons that have spread over the internet over the past couple of years. He is usually very intense and offensive to many, but in this sermon he is lighthearted and funny. I found myself busting out in laughter at myself throughout. I'm also convicted at my silliness and lack of obedience to God's commands as a wife.
