In understanding Scripture, the “law of the first mention” is critical. When God states something the first time, He lays down a foundation for that particular truth. He adds to it and develops it throughout the rest of His Word, but He does not change from the establishing of the “first mention.”The first mention of marriage in the Bible is in Genesis 2:24. In this Scripture God speaks of the man and his wife and the father and mother. God puts male and female together—His plan from eternity. There is no mention of same sexes.
If we want something to work properly, we must read the manual from the one who designed it. God is the one who created our bodies and designed marriage, and we better make sure we take notice of His manual.
One of the synonyms of marriage is matrimony, usually called “holy matrimony,” the union of a man and woman for life. It comes from the Latin word, “matrimonium,” from “mater,” from which come the words mother, maternal, matrimony, marriage.
Therefore, the full understanding of marriage is that the wife can become a mother. This cannot happen naturally in a homosexual relationship. It is totally unnatural and against God’s divine order of creation and His eternal plan for us.
We cannot bow to mortal man’s deception, distortion, and desecration of divine truth.

It is so true that you can save so much money when you buy in bulk, prepare foods from scratch, and from the garden. It takes time and effort to be a good homemaker but it saves a lot of money. You can quit your job and “do good to your husband all the days of your life” (Proverbs 31:12).
“I’m pregnant!” No, not me, although that would be amazing! But these are usually the words a mother will say when she sees the pink line! Actually, It’s not such a nice-sounding word, is it? For something so wonderful I am sure we could think of a better word.
How do you feel about your home? Do you feel like a prisoner? Are you longing for the day when you can get on to something different?
Your home is what you make it to be! Build good and lovely things into your home today.
The devil is afraid of mothers who know who they are and God’s purpose for their lives. The devil wants to destroy the family but he can’t do much damage when there is a praying, God-fearing, home-loving, motherhood-embracing, nation-changing mother in the home! As a mother, you are a powerful force for the kingdom of God.
I am encouraged by this Scripture in Proverbs 24:25-27 TPT: “Set your gaze on the path before you. With fixed purpose looking straight ahead, IGNORE LIFE’S DISTRACTIONS. Stick to the path of truth . . . DON’T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE SIDETRACKED FOR EVEN A MOMENT.”
Today I would love to bless you with a song from my daughters, Serene and Pearl. I'll give you the words too, so you won't miss the blessing as they sing. Be thankful for your husband and children today. Don't ever take them for granted. Click on the link to enjoy the song.
Dearest mothers, you have such a high calming and such a beautiful role in society. And so needed. Embrace it. Never look down upon it.
If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I'm just another decorator.
Do you feel overwhelmed at all you have to do? Don’t give up in Despair. Keep plodding on. Do a little bit at a time and soon you will have the job completed the job.
A few days ago, I shared the picture of two of my granddaughters helping me make my annual Christmas cake. I notice that a number of folks are asking for the recipe. Sorry for the delay, but here it is for you.
THE IMAGE OF GOD’S FACE
This is another Scripture you can pray. It is powerful to pray God’s Word. Horns in the Bible speak of power and authority. Pray that the usurping power of the wicked and those who are wanting to control humanity will be cut off and the authority of righteous men will be lifted up for righteousness exalts a nation. It is interesting that the golden altar of incense in the temple had four horns, one on each corner. And we know that the altar of incense represents prayer and praise. Let’s take up our authority in prayer. It is our greatest weapon of war. Pray as families together every day.
The deep state, the world economic forum, the great reset, and others want total jurisdiction over our lives. They are taking dominion over our bodies. We will no longer enjoy freedom unless we fight for it. We must resist all tyranny.
Amen! I love to pray the Scriptures when I am praying. I can’t pray anything more powerful than the Word of God. Join with me in praying this prayer and that all the lies and deception from the media and the government will be exposed and become powerless. Amen again
1 Peter 4:12-14 tells us not to be surprised at the fiery trials that come our way. Instead of complaining about them, this Scripture tells us to rejoice and be happy! Paul gloried in his tribulations knowing that they were working God’s character into his life (Romans 5:3-5). Be encouraged dear one. God will not let you go.
You can trust God for each new day. God doesn’t give you today what you need for tomorrow. He will give that to you tomorrow. Lay your head on the pillow and have a good sleep. Give all your worries and concerns to God. Stop worrying about them right now. Tomorrow you will wake with fresh wisdom, fresh strength, and understanding what you need to do. God‘s mercies and blessings and strength for each new day.
