Fatigue can make a “nag” of anyone! Nothing goes further to make a woman less able to cope with unruly children, household or job crisis, and thousands of other mundane irritations. Scripture offers ways for women to reduce fatigue and avoid weariness. Support from an understanding husband or close friend

Integrity – Singleness of Heart
Some mistakenly associate the word “integrity” only with reputation – an external appearance. True integrity is a quality of character – an inward reality that refers to singleness of heart or mind, the development of a blameless character by adhering to an exemplary moral code. The biblical model of integrity
Continue ReadingShame – Feeling Unworthy
Shame is a deep inner response to the potential for, or the actual experience of, being exposed as deficient or unworthy in another’s eyes. The word “shame” is closely related to “mortified”, which is derived from the French word meaning “death”. Shame is the experience of profound embarrassment, a feeling

Before their disobedience in the garden, Adam and Eve “were both naked… and were not ashamed,” but afterward they were afraid. Their sense of shame and fear is at the core of modesty – the need to cover our bodies. In His grace God provided clothing for the first couple,

Femininity is a reality of God’s design and making – His precious gift to every woman – and, in a very different way, His gracious gift to men as well. The difference between men and women is not a mere matter of biology. Throughout the millennia of human history, up

God identified Himself as a “Helper” (Heb. ‘ezer) to Israel (Ex. 18:4, Deut. 33:7). The word does not imply inferiority. It describes function rather than worth. No one loses value in humbly assuming the role of helper. As a “helper” to the man, the woman became his partner spiritually in
