Eastern European breastfeeding wife’s list of benefits
This was translated from a Slavic language, so pardon the sometimes incoherent phrasing. I also found a majority of Eastern European women online seem to be turned off by the idea of HBF, so I don’t think Eastern Europeans are any more into it than Westerners. “I’m Veronika, … third baby. I have 2 girls,…
Honey
True story. I have a sweet tooth. My blood sugar level has been known to spike in the past. Women’s bodies produce sugar. Real sugar. What a shame many women never get to realize their maximum inherent sweetness, both figuratively and literally. I think I’ll have to invest in a blood glucose meter when I get…
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
If you struggle with intrusive mental images of ANRs, then “think often that Christ suffered agony for your purity. Fight image with image. Christ crying in agony.” Titus 2:14 Christ gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for…
“Drink heavily from her breasts” – God

That they know you, the only true God
When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal…
Would you be content if you never experienced it?
Christian, would you be content never tasting the blessing that an ANR is? If these first century Christians were content having their lives stolen from them so violently, then you should be able to endure the pain of being ANR-less for the rest of your life. The same Spirit that empowered these early believers…
Trust God
If God could speak the Universe into existence, create planets and stars billions of times the size of our own, send His only begotten Son to die for your sins, then He’s more than capable of bringing you your ANR partner. Trust His timing. God could easily cause an ANR- desiring spouse to appear the…
The Ministry of Reconciliation
Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so…
Fix your eyes on what is unseen, not what is seen
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again,…

Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if…

I Kissed Legalism Goodbye
Be very careful who you allow to shape your soul. Joshua Harris, author of the widely popular I Kissed Dating Goodbye and other well-known Christian manuals on dating and purity, has not only divorced his wife, he has also renounced his faith. I’m especially shocked because I, along with other godly Christians I know, read his…
John Piper – What is Idolatry?
In our circles, Pastor John, we hear a lot about idols. So what is an idol? Why are they dangerous? And what does an idol look like in today’s world? Maybe the best way to get at this instead of trying to reach out to the whole Bible and pull all the pieces together —…
