Femininity is in tatters. The family has been split apart. Churches worldwide are weakening. What must be done to regain the purity of a life that seeks to honour Jesus? How can we re-capture the depth of His love for us? How can femininity and true beauty be regained?

It starts with the Gospel. It starts with an almighty, sovereign God who “did not spare His own Son,” a Saviour who “for the joy set before Him endured the Cross,” a Holy Spirit “who is in you,” empowering you to do His will.

The Gospel is Jesus Christ

He came, He gave
He is mighty to save
To all who will repent and believe

This blog is dedicated to re-capturing femininity; femininity as God designed it. Femininity in our culture is desperately lost. Scripture testifies of this in Proverbs 31. “An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels.” A wife of excellence is more rare that precious gems. In the 21st century, this is sadly apparent.

So let us raise the bar to a level of excellence that is rare and mysterious. Let us live our growing years with patience, our single years with dedication, our waiting years with service, our longing years with purity, our married years with faithfulness, and our entire lives under the blessings of our eternal covenant with the Prince of our souls, Jesus Christ.

May He have all the glory!

Resolved to be Pure

I am right now enjoying the beautiful and hot weather of Palm Spring, California as I wait for the 2011 Resolved Conference to begin! It is sooo beautiful here! There is not a cloud in the sky and the temperature has reached the mid 40's! Whew! Lots of time in the pool is definitely required!

Of course, when the weather gets hot it's easy to be tempted to wear less to beat the heat. However, we must be careful that we still are modest. We've been bought with a price: the precious blood of Christ! (1 Corinthians 6:20) We now belong to Him and must honor Him in and through out bodies.

1 Peter 1:18-19, "knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ."

During our stay here in California, I have felt the Holy Spirit gently convicting me of this message. It is so easy for us to compare ourselves to others. This is dangerous because often we think that we are doing well because others are dressing so provocatively. We can't compare ourselves to others. We must compare ourselves to Christ's standard found in His Word.

In His sovereignty, the Lord caused Nancy Leigh DeMoss' daily "Seeking Him" devotional to be just what I needed:


Nancy Leigh DeMoss: "Do you ever find yourself at the point of a decision?

“I’m not sure if this is right or not?!”

There’s a question mark in your conscience, but you’re not exactly sure what the Bible says about it. Jonathan Edwards anticipated moments like these and wrote:

"Resolved, never to do anything of which I so much as question the lawfulness."

He’s saying, “If I have any question in my heart about whether what I'm about to do is acceptable to God and His Word, then I'll stop.”

So many of us today try and see how close we can get to sin without getting into serious trouble. Wouldn't we be better off staying as close to purity as we can?

Paul tells us in Romans, "Whatever is not of faith is sin.” If there's doubt in your heart that God is giving you freedom to do something, then why do it?"


Exactly! So join me in staying as close to purity as we can that "the Word of God would not be treated as a lie." (Titus 2:5)
