We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely…
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit. 1 Peter 3:18 Women are often loyal to, suffer for and care about others more than themselves. They fiercely defend and protect the…
Email I recently received: “I have met two Christian men on ANR dating sites and all of them are like myself, in that they were sexually active before they gave their life to Christ. And each of them has the same opinion on nursing vs sex. Each of them believed that nursing can be a permissible act…
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! Luke 13:34
Months ago, I posted a piece on how women have historically breastfed sick adults to boost their immune systems. Unmarried readers, especially men, do not take this as a license to indulge in an ANR. The context is vastly different. God considers context and motive. A Chinese woman breastfeeding a deathly sick adult in public…

Audio Transcript Very often, the best questions we get are very simple ones, like this one today from Maxine, a longtime listener to APJ. “Pastor John, hello and thank you for this podcast. Can you explain to me: Who wrote the Bible?” Well, let’s start at the top and work our way down to who held the…

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your…
God, by nature, is a self-giver. Women, by nature, are also self-givers. Women’s bodies were created to give life, and their personalities and characters also align with this self-giving mission. Research shows over and over that if women and girls are invested in, they tend to reinvest in their communities and those near and dear.…
“A lady inducing is not going to have the same supply as a lady who has recently given birth. A new mom has much more milk.” ANR is tied to fecundity. Men and women into this lifestyle are equally fond of the idea of women making a milk volume that overflows. I strongly believe ANR-loving…

Dr. Carissa Quinn • August 31, 2020 Our picture of what God is like is one of the most important things we can develop throughout our lives. Where is God in our suffering? What is his disposition when we fail? How does he view us? These questions have a huge impact on how we see ourselves, others, and…
Therefore, seek that foxy Christian babe with the gospel on her heart and overflowing breasts on her chest. Or that godly gentleman with a heart of gold and lips to die for. “For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; However, if you cannot control your desires, you…
There are many good things God blesses and desires for his children, like marriage, sex within marriage, children, and I believe, an ANR in marriage. Despite his affirmation of these blessings, for reasons only known to him, he sometimes chooses to withhold them from us. He may be saying “yes, I want you to enjoy…
Jesus prays to be glorified 17 After Jesus said this, he looked towards heaven and prayed: ‘Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they…

“The key to being more intimate with Christ isn’t to try harder. Rather, it’s to abide in Christ in such a way that his sap flows into you and causes a profound change in you as he fills you with his Holy Spirit.” — Pastor R, 2017 His source: I Am the True Vine 15 “I…
Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. By which god do you swear? In whom, or what, do you trust?

Said a breastfeeding mom and milk donor: “My little one gets gassy when I have dairy products, so I have cut them out of my diet. If your baby has the same issue, this milk is perfect for you.” Her statement suggests humans were meant to have only one type of milk — the most…
Christian Standard Bible (CSB) Israel’s Shepherds: Good and Bad 11 Open your gates, Lebanon, and fire will consume your cedars. 2 Wail, cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the glorious trees are destroyed!

Christian Standard Bible (CSB) The Lord Restores His People 10 Ask the Lord for rain in the season of spring rain.

Therefore the people…
