Femina - encouragement for Christian women

Hi Everyone

By | Filed under Uncategorized | Tags: From Me

Hello and many thanks to you who have been checking in here in the infancy of my blog. I am still learning how to find my way around, and you may have noticed, I’ve already changed the scenery at the top. The water lily was pretty, but it was a little too heavy for me. The green grass selection is a little closer to the mark since spring is really coming here in the Northwest. (By the way, spring weather here is all of the following: hail, rain, snow, wind, sunshine, and all within half an hour. No kidding!)

Last week I worked a few days in figuring out what I would do with a blog since now I have one. And since my kind-hearted husband had prepared it all for me, title and all, I had no more excuse for putting it off.  So my plan for now is to post different women’s studies that I’m working on or have in my files. I hope to post a new one each week in each category (fruit of the Spirit, feminine virtues, unmarried sisters, etc.). That way, if any of you are inclined to use them, you should, Lord willing, have a new one coming each week.

Please bear with me because I’m sure to hit some glitches and snags, and if I find something I like better than the green grass, I will certainly switch with no warning. My family can tell you I do the same thing at home. I’m one of those furniture re-arrangers, I confess it.

So thanks again for your many welcoming comments. I truly appreciate them, and I’m betting this will be lots of fun.

 Blessings,

Nancy

Spurgeon on Contentment

You say, “If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.” You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.

Fruit of the Spirit

4 / 10 / 0710 / 17 / 11
By Nancy Ann | Filed under Uncategorized | Tags: Fruit of the Spirit

This is a study I lead over the course of ten weeks on how we can walk worthy of our calling as Christian women, specifically considering how we can be full of the fruits of righteousness in our marriages. Though the primary applications will be to married women, there is no reason that unmarried women should feel excluded. This first lesson is a discussion of fruit in general. Subsequent lessons will examine each of the fruits mentioned in Galatians.

Women, Marriage, and the Fruit of the Spirit: Part 1

We are all pretty well acquainted with the passage in Galatians 5:22-26: 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness [gentleness], goodness, faithfulness, gentleness [meekness], self-control [temperance]. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with it is passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.(*These verses are from the NKJV. The words in brackets are from the KJV.)

If we want fruit in our lives, we must first acknowledge the source of all such fruit, which is of course the Spirit of God who indwells His people. That is why it is called fruit of the Spirit and not the fruit of Jane or Susan. Notice that the antithesis of Spiritual fruit is the flesh with its passions and desires. Paul mentions here a few specific manifestations of fleshly passions: conceit, provocation, and envy.

Christ is beauty to adorn, gold to enrich, balm to heal, bread to strengthen, wine to comfort, salvation to crown. If we are in danger, Christ is a shield; and if we are disconsolate, he is a sun; for he hath enough in his wardrobe abundantly to furnish the soul. – Thomas Watson
