Daily Routines for Homemakers

Proverbs 31:15 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. These are just some helpful suggestions, not rules that you have to follow, but are some things that have worked for me . If you are unable to be a full-time homemaker, you can adjust your schedule in a way that works for your family. Along with keeping a daily and weekly cleaning and tasks schedule, you can organize your life with other daily routines. For example, a morning routine could include one or more of the following: • Wake up and get dressed, do your personal Bible study, exercise and stretching, get your children up and fed with breakfast, do a morning Bible study or devotional together, and start to homeschool or send your children off to school if they go to a public or private school. • An afternoon routine could include your daily and weekly chores, lunch and snacks, homeschool lessons or online ministry, running errands, taking a short nap or...

Believe and Exalt God's Word | How to Study the Bible

2. Believe and Exalt God's Word  Romans 10:17 -  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. If you, as a believer, want to really know and understand God's word, the next step after being saved is to decide for yourself to believe and exalt God and His word ABOVE ALL ELSE. Very few Christians are actually Bible believers. Many, if not most, follow after man's wisdom above God's word in the form of certain theological systems, denominational teachings, the traditions of men, etc being placed far above God's word. Not only that but they might also exalt other forms of man's wisdom over God's word such as various worldly philosophies, religious superstitions, science falsely so-called, psychology, the latest fashions and trends, politics, etc.  If you decide to be truly "Bible alone", and exalt God's word, you will be going against Satan's course for this world. You will literally be thinking completely differently than t...

Romans 3:7-11 | Women's Rightly Divided Bible Study

Father God, thank you for this time that we can spend reading and studying your word, in particular today the book of Romans chapter 3. Thank you also Father God for preserving your word for us perfectly and without error in the King James Bible.  Romans 3:7 7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? God absolutely has to judge sin. The sin nature lies and tries to convince us that we are good enough and that God will not judge us. It also lies and says that it would be unrighteous of God to judge unbelievers.  8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. This slander is what grace believers hear all of the time from legalists. They claim that the true gospel of the grace of God isn't the real gospel because it means that if we are eternally secure in Christ, then we will just live however we want ...

Keeping a Homemaker Schedule

  Proverbs 31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. These are just some helpful suggestions, not rules that you have to follow, but are some things that have worked for me . If you are unable to be a full-time homemaker, you can adjust your schedule in a way that works for your family. God wants women, especially the young women, to be busy taking care of their families, studying His word and teaching her children Gods word. He doesn't want us being idle, nor to be busy doing things that are not profitable or edifying. 1 Tim 5:6 says, But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 1 Tim 5: 13 And withal they learn to be  idle , wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies (gossiping), speaking things which they ought not.  14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak repr...

How to Study the Bible | 1. Believe the Gospel

1.  Believe the Gospel Anyone can read and study the Bible, but in order to really understand the Holy scriptures, you must be saved. When a person is saved, he has God's very own Spirit living in his spirit. This Spirit of God in you includes the whole Godhead, but it's the person of the Holy Ghost that helps you to understand the scriptures. This is the Holy Ghosts ministry to believers (the church the Body of Christ) today in the dispensation of grace. The Holy Ghost is not enabling us with apostolic or sign gifts today, but is doing something even better- teaching us God's word. This spiritual education builds an edifice of sound doctrine in our inner man. This stays with us for eternity! Let's look at some verses. As we study the word (rightly divided), then we have the choice to believe it or not, and then we can choose to yeild to obeying it or not to. God let's us decide for ourselves. 1 Corinthians 2:13-16 in the KJB says, “ Which things also we speak,...

Romans 3:3-6 | Women's Rightly Divided Bible Study

Father God, thank you for this time that we can spend reading and studying your word, in particular today the book of Romans chapter 3. Romans 3:3 in the KJB says, 3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?" Not all Jews believed God but some did. Some saw that they couldn't keep the law in their own efforts. They needed to have faith first and foremost. But just because not all of them believed, doesn't mean that God failed.  In today's dispensation this is also certainly true. Even though the vast majority of people in the world since the dispensation of grace began are unbelievers, and never choose to believe the gospel of their salvation, that doesn't mean that God has failed or that God is unjust or unrighteous. God is completely true to His word and will save anyone who simply believes the gospel of the grace of God.  Romans 3:4 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That...

Reading the Bible to Our Children

Proverbs 22:6 KJV Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it. One of the most important things that you can do as a mother is to read the Bible to your children. You can share Bible verses with children of all ages. For very young children, you can find children's Bible story books to help introduce them to the Bible. Then, as they get older you can get them a children's KJV Bible.  They also have children's Bible Journaling books and children's coloring books with Bible themes and Bible verses.  For pre-teens and teenagers they have study Bibles, however these do not always teach doctrine correctly so you might want to look through them first.  The Berean Bible Society has great material for children's Bible study for those who homeschool and for Sunday school. And the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) has some great family friendly books that teach children about science from a creationist perspective (they also ...

Fallen from Grace? | Salvation Basics

Fallen From Grace? So, in previous studies, we talked about how a believer is justified and is eternally secure in Christ Jesus. So, what about this verse that talks about being "fallen from grace"? Does this mean that a believer can lose their salvation or their spiritual blessings in Christ? Galatians 5:4 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. The answer is NO a believer can NEVER loose their salvation. They are now identified with Christ (Col 3:3-4) and for a believer to loose their salvation, God would have to reject Christ too (2 Tim 2:13)! We also cannot loose our spiritual blessings in Christ. We did learn however that a believer can have loss of rewards at the believers judgment seat of Christ if they choose to live after the flesh instead of walking in the Spirit (1 Cor 3:15).  Now in this verse we are told that for believers who put themselves back under the law, they are fallen from grace, whic...

Romans 3:1-2 | Women's Rightly Divided Bible Study

Father God, thank you for this time that we can spend reading and studying your word, in particular today the book of Romans chapter 3. Romans 3: 1-2 Romans 2 ended with the following verses: Romans 2:28-29 in the KJB says,  28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. In those verses we learned that the Jews are not saved just because they are Jewish or circumcised. In Romans 1 we learned that the Gentiles are under sin and guilty before God. In Romans two we learned that the Jews are also under sin and are guilty before God. In Romans chapter 3, we will learn that the whole world is under sin and is guilty before God.  Romans chapter 3 verses 1-2 continues on from Romans chapter 2 and says, "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is th...

Biblical Submission

Submission is a common word in the King James Bible. The Websters 1828 dictionary defines submission as: • The act of submitting; the act of yielding to power or authority; surrender of the person and power to the control or government of another. • Acknowledgment of inferiority or dependence; humble or suppliant behavior. • Obedience; compliance with the commands or laws of a superior. submission of children to their parents is an indispensable duty. • Resignation; a yielding of one's will to the will or appointment of a superior without murmuring. Entire and cheerful submission to the will of God is a christian duty of prime excellence. Believers are to submit themselves to God's will. They are also to submit themselves to serving one another in love and charity. Children are to submit to their parents; younger people are to submit to [respect] their elders; we are to submit ourselves to obeying the laws of our land (human government); etc. Women are to submit to t...

Will God Ever Deny a Believer? | Salvation Basics

Will God ever deny a believer? Once we are saved, God never denies a believer of their eternal salvation or even of their spiritual blessings in Christ. As we have talked about in previous studies in this series, a believer is • Justified and Completely forgiven of all our sins (Romans 5:1: Col 2:13-15) • Given (imputed to us) the very righteousness OF God in Christ. (Romans 4:22-25, 2 Corinthians 5:21) • Made a new creature in Christ Jesus (2 Cor 5:17) • Eternally secure in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:23) • Sealed with that holy Spirit of promise (Eph 1:13) • Complete in Christ (Col 2:10) • Given all spiritual blessings in Christ (Eph 1:3) To understand the basics of salvation, you HAVE to start by reading and studying Romans chapters 1-8. Read it several times and then study it out, verse by verse with a King James Bible. This is for our being established in the grace faith. Established means to NOT be moved away from the grace message. The whole book of Romans establishes us in the grace...

The Shed Blood of Christ | Romans Bible Study

Father God, thank you for this time that we can spend reading and studying your word, in particular today the book of Romans chapter 3. Thank you Father for the shed blood of Christ and how that He died for our sins, was buried and rose again for our justification. And that by simple faith in this glorious gospel, we are saved. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen.  The shed blood of Christ  Hebrews 9:22b in the KJB says, "and without shedding of blood is no remission."  And Romans 3:25 says, "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;" Have you ever noticed that within Christendom there are many false gospels that leave out the shed blood of Christ? They will tell people "just believe in Jesus"! But to be saved today we are not to just believe in Jesus, but to also believe how that Christ died for our sins (He shed his blood for...
