“I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” (Ps. 57:2)
For Christians, we live in troublesome times but there is truly “nothing new under the sun” as we know from the Word of God and history. In time and eternity, our God’s purposes for [...]

The following “Jacy’s 50 Promises” is my revision of the “50 Promises” circulated everywhere including on cards at Hymans Seafood in Charleston, which by its presence there while waiting for dinner, reminded me that I should “recreate” or “add” to it a bit. For those that are familiar, you know I would have made it [...]

Legacy Study: “Lovely Fruitful Women”
But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, [...]

“Because your loving-kindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.” Psalm 63:3
The truth of God’s Word teaches us that Christ and Christ alone, is “better than life.” For believers, the thought of life without Christ is unbearable and impossible to conceive. He is our life, our hope, our salvation and we [...]
False Christs and the Movies: “What say ye of the Christ?”
We watch little TV except for an occasional “decent” movie, special broadcast or news presentation or, on occasion, a really excellent PBS special of our favorite artists. This past week it was interesting to see in perusing the channel lineup how many “false christs” and “false gospels” are portrayed, preached and taught on TV. I was [...]

“What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” Rom 7:7

“Speaking the Truth”
“What is worse than speaking the truth? Keeping quiet. God has told His people to speak the truth, to the believers and the unbelievers and to do so boldly. The Apostle Paul and Stephen stood up and gave us an example of how we should stand up and speak truth about the evildoers and that [...]

“No Other Gospel” Finding True Freedom in the Message of Galatians
“Paul’s letter to the Galatians confronts the “different gospel” that took root in first century Galatia and still entices believers today. He exposes it as a deadly distortion of truth and provides much needed correction. Understanding his teaching is as important today (maybe more so!) as it was then.” _Carol Ruvolo“No Other Gospel” teaches us [...]

In counseling we often hear from the counselee (believer) that he/she feels “defeated” and cannot get a grasp on Romans 12:31 “If God is for us, who can be against us? Because they carry around old baggage of their belief of “Satan’s control” over their lives and the misunderstanding [...]

Ministering to Sisters in Love
One of the most often-asked questions I receive is from sisters inquiring about various women teachers, their books, studies, websites and ministries. Many of these inquiries come from sisters who are novices in doctrine and are sifting through the plethora of Christian books and study guides seeking what is good to teach, study or read. [...]

Contentment…Blessed Contentment…
At ReformedWomen we periodically discuss “contentment” in the lives of believers and have studied the subject several times in our book studies. I was reminded of Thomas Watson’s book, “The Art of Divine Contentment” again yesterday and thought I would share an excerpt on Philippians 4:13 that was posted at DH’s site:
