English Standard Version Paul in Macedonia and Greece 20 After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell and departed for Macedonia. 2 When he had gone through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece. 3 There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by…
Much props to Veronika Robinson. As mentioned in a previous post, I’d rather have a wife who breastfeeds too much than too little. Wanting to nurse everything that breathes is more laudable than refusing to nurse even your own infant. Not only is she okay breastfeeding her toddler, as seen above, Veronika is also cool…
English Standard Version The Coming of the Holy Spirit 2 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them. 4 And they…
English Standard Version The Promise of the Holy Spirit 1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many…
2 You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our[a] hearts, to be known and read by all. 3 And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.[b] — 2 Corinthians 3 Footnotes 6 I planted, Apollos…
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. — Titus 3 God prefers to work when we give up on our own efforts and realize how utterly dependent we are on his mercy. In the same way, he works best in…
I recently heard a sermon on Galatians 5 and 6. The pastor noted how the fruit produced by the tree isn’t for the tree, but is meant to serve others. This mirrors the heart of God, who for our sake, made him who knew no sin to be sin, so in him, we might be…
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10 – NKJV For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am…

The dying thief rejoiced to seeThat fountain in His day;And there have I, though vile as he,Washed all my…
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.” — Isaiah 1:18-19 FeastingFood
Christian, you were born dead and unresponsive, until Jesus Christ decided to take the initiative and yoke himself to you, thus breathing life into your formerly useless lungs. Now, God’s cup of wrath towards you is empty. You now wear his righteousness. What’s more, Christ is still advocating for you right this moment. His bloody…
“A huge, mighty God who chooses the least likely.” — Shai Linne, Election God prefers to use the unlikeliest, even the taboo, to glorify himself, for example, using a woman nursing her husband to bring unrivaled stability to marriages. Or his Son becoming a curse to rescue sinful men from the curse of sin, which…

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…
Enjoy this Gospel classic from Norton Hall Band.
How Christ’s blood was, spiritually speaking, transfused into sinful human veins, is modeled by the way a wife, as an image bearer of Christ, transfers her life- and health-giving milk into her husband’s digestive system. The medical field has many parallels to Christianity, and to ANR. Like Christ saved his Bride’s life eternally, she seriously…
See The tender heart of the Father Softness
An imperial symbol of torture and execution has miraculously become a globally-recognized token of grace. Torture and execution is somehow now our victory symbol. The same act meant to nourish infants is now being rediscovered for what it is– a rare gift between a man and woman, with power to save marriages on the rocks.…
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.…
“3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own [breasts and milk] but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own [lips] but yields it to his wife. 5 Do not deprive…
5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Freedom in Christ
“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…
“Breastfeeding is touted for infants because of the nutrients, which help to build immunity. Historically, women have breastfed adults who were sickly to help build their immune systems. The practice has continued more recently than you might realize in countries such as China” (emphasis added). That just really hit me last weekend. THAT IS THE…
17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. — Romans 5 Abundance
