EXPLAINING YOUR HOPE | As we walk with Christ on our daily journey, living with Him as Lord and Savior, there will be a difference in how we show up in the world. Our attitudes, behavior and character should reflect the hope we have in Jesus.
Godly women who "think well" in the Bible:
--Moses' mother devises a great plan to save his life (Exodus 2)
--Jael delivers God's people from evil warriors by her shrewdness (Judges 4)
--As men act like cowards all around her, Deborah judges Israel well (Judges 4)
--Naomi forges a wise plan to bless Ruth, a plan that eventuates in the birth of David, the kingly forerunner of the Messiah (Ruth 2-3)
--Abigail's incredibly shrewd intervention keeps David from slaughtering dozens of people (1 Samuel 25)
--An unnamed woman identified as "wise" helps David forgive and reconcile with Absalom (2 Samuel 14)
--An unnamed woman saves Abel Beth Maacah from Joab's wrath (2 Samuel 20)
--Esther shows amazing fortitude, strength of character, and remarkable shrewdness in effecting the deliverance of the Jews from their enemies (Esther 4-9)
--The Proverbs 31 woman has great "wisdom" (26) and is praised by her husband as having done "excellently" (29)
--Mary is the first eyewitness to the resurrected Christ while the apostles are gripped by fear (John 20)
--Priscilla is used (with Aquila) to help the silver-tongued Apollos understand the Christian faith more accurately, showing her knowledge and acumen (Acts 18)
--Timothy's mother and grandmother are clearly godly women of strong character (2 Timothy 1)
--Mature godly women are summoned and directed (!) to teach and train younger Christian faith in godly femininity in order to cultivate the family and the home (Titus 2)
There are many other instances of this kind of wise and godly womanhood in the Bible. This is a mere sampling. But it suffices to show that there are not a few women who think well; there are many women who think well and glorify God in doing so.
In fact, in a good number of biblical examples, godly women help godly men in a very clear way: their sound thinking HELPS GODLY MEN NOT DO VERY STUPID THINGS. Are these interesting narratival episodes? Yes. Are they more than that? Yes. They are showing us a pattern that applies to our own lives. Godly men must not think that they can feel free to neglect feminine counsel and feminine wisdom. To the contrary, a godly wife--who gives wise counsel--is one of God's greatest blessings in a man's life.
Such a blessing saves numerous godly leaders from utter disaster throughout biblical history. This is, to repeat, God rebuking us proud men who think (at least in our less great moments) that we're self-sufficient. We don't need to hear counsel, especially from a woman. Instead, the biblical record shows us quite clearly that if strong men had only listened to themselves and other men, they would have shed blood like rivers, and defamed the honor of God in extremity.
Brothers, we are not subservient to feminine counsel. Feminism lies in many ways. We must lead, and we must lead without slavishness or fear. We do so without necessarily having our wife always agree with us (as one example). We men are called to lead, and so in humility and conviction, we lead.
But we do not lead in pride and self-exaltation. We are not threatened by godly women; we see godly women as a gift, not a threat. In appropriate contexts (like marriage), we should welcome godly feminine counsel. In the life of the church, further, we do not silence the feminine voice; in good and right ways, we hear from godly women.
We make clear as men of God that we want to hear from them. We value their contributions. We honor their gifts. We want a thriving woman-to-woman ministry in the local congregation, and we want women to flourish and thrive and serve in all kinds of meaningful ways in God's church.
There is much more to say here, but the point is this: in rejecting feminist lies, we also must reject anti-woman lies. The Christian faith does not denigrate womanhood, or put it beneath godly manhood; the Christian faith honors godly womanhood, and shows it to be of great value and great worth to God and man.
@Pastor_Gabe Revivals follow repentance. If we want revival in our nation, then there needs to be repentance of all pagan worship in the churches. Put away all of your pagan/papist/traditions of men unholy days. where the Jesus of them is not the Jesus of the Scriptures. Deut. 12:30-31
"I believe the Lord has decided that we will have the country back..."
No one knows if God will actually grant revival to this nation or if He means for it to perish in judgment. Preach the gospel, call out sin, and tell the people to repent. If God means to save, He will save.
Oh my. Given Chan's coziness with the RCC and his endorsement of Mike Bickle (before it was known he was a sexual predator, but still known to anyone with any discernment he was a false prophet), Todd White, and Benny Hinn, this is sure to be a fun ride.
Join our persecuted Christian family members in prayer as Todd Nettleton, host of VOM Radio, introduces you to our brothers and sisters in Christ in North Korea. Christians in North Korea are sent to prison and labor camps, where they are starved, overworked and tortured.
Jesus Christ is not half God and half man. He is not a blend of two natures, nor a man temporarily empowered by divinity. He is the eternal Son of God who took on a true human nature without surrendering or diminishing His divine nature.
One Person, two distinct natures. Truly and fully God, and truly and fully man. Without confusion, without change, without division, and without separation.
The same Christ who upheld the universe by the word of His power also grew tired, bled, suffered, and died for sinners. If you lose the Hypostatic Union, you lose the biblical Gospel itself.
SUZANNE AFTER SURVIVING A TERRORIST ATTACK.
In the village of Madagali, Suzanne and her father were working their crops when Boko Haram militants suddenly attacked. She begged them not to kill her father, but they shot him repeatedly in front of her. In her terror and grief, she cried out, “Jesus Christ, we have no one but you! Have mercy on us!”
The terrorists turned on her. They demanded she go with them (which would likely mean forced conversion to Islam and marriage). When she refused, one put a gun to her head and fired. The bullet entered one side of her head, passed through both eyes, and exited the other side. They left her for dead next to her father’s body.
Villagers later found them and prepared to bury the bodies. A thorn pricked Suzanne, waking her. Disoriented, blind, and in pain, she survived—but doctors could not save her eyesight. She is now blind and relies on her husband and children for guidance. Yet she testifies: “God saved my life.
Despite losing her father, her sight, and suffering lasting effects on her hearing and memory, Suzanne’s faith remains unwavering. She draws strength from Scripture, such as Jesus’ words about losing one’s life for His sake to find it. She chooses to forgive her attackers, echoing Christ’s command to love enemies and pray for persecutors.
When asked about forgiveness, she smiled and said of the shooter (in ignorance): “Oh God, forgive them.” She even says that if militants came again, she would welcome them, offer them a seat and water, eat with them, and pray.
Her response: “My faith is still unwavering.” This mirrors Jesus, “who is killed and died for our sins.”
This story sadly reflects the reality for many Christians in Nigeria and other parts of Africa (e.g., areas affected by groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, or Fulani militants). Thousands have been killed, churches attacked or burned, and millions displaced in what some describe as a silent genocide or intense religious persecution. Attacks often target Christians specifically with ultimatums to convert or die.
Yet testimonies like Suzanne’s (others, who was shot in the face for refusing to deny Christ and now prays for his attackers’ salvation) show extraordinary resilience, deliverance through God’s mercy, and the transformative power of forgiveness. Many survivors report finding deeper peace in Scripture, community support from Christian aid groups, and even starting anew with farms or businesses while choosing to forgive.
These stories are deeply moving because they reveal Christians enduring real terror—yet responding with gospel hope, not bitterness. They embody Jesus’ teachings in the hardest places and serve as a light amid darkness.

"I feel like the Lord is saying..." is common in the charismatic movement. It is the movement's bread-and-butter lingo.
It is absent, however, from scripture.
