Christian Homekeeping: The Things People Won't Talk About

Or in other words - HOT TOPICS! Just what is a hot topic? To me, it is something that once spoken about or brought up, brings a firestorm of criticism because it is a sensitive topic to some people. It is also something that is generally about truth and of God and that rubs the devil the wrong way.

Some hot topics I've blogged about on here that have ruffled feathers are:

Holiness - especially when you bring up living right
Hair - this is a big one for women
Proper roles of a man and woman
Birth control
Keeper at Home
Debt - envy and covetousness are neighbors
Training Children in Godly education
Social media - busybody much?
Dress

Most people wouldn't dare talk about these topics because they prefer popularity or a smooth religion of no offense. People are more concerned about offending someone than saving that person's soul from hell. There are those that will go to hell unoffended because of your lack of standing for the truth! There are those that will go to hell because they didn't want to offend. Truly, the bible is offensive to those that don't follow it! You might as well get over that and make sure you are a light to the world.

"Well, I don't want to scare all of my Facebook friends away by sharing something truthful." So really what you are saying is that you value popularity or people liking you MORE than you value their souls. Pastors are more concerned about being like the flock or popular among the flock, then actually being an example before the flock. Didn't the Bible say that preachers should be instant in season and out of season? Obviously, they will be hated if they preach and teach the truth.

Let's get busy talking and sharing the truth - there may not be much time left to share the gospel anymore in this country - as indicators have already showed us that we will (eventually) be silenced in some way. Most people are already living like we are there already and that God is dead.

What do you care more about? Souls or your own reputation, popularity and "friends"? A true friend will tell you the truth! A true friend will tell you that the bridge is out ahead and scream for you to stop! Will you be that true friend? Or will you rather send people to hell by being their enemy and keeping the truth you know and the light you have, hid?

*Note - there is a time and place to everything, I know people like to misconstrue my posts so I'm putting this in here for your benefit. You don't go around just telling everyone off - God will lead you in a time and/or place to share God's truth. However, if you are silent about it all the time, then who are you really trying to please?

Quotes to Ponder

If you’re a friend to all and an enemy to none, then you’re leading no one. - Unknown

The objective in Christian homeschooling is not to teach children how to "deal with the real world." I do not want to teach my children how to merely survive this life. As believers in Christ, we are called to be overcomers! - HE magazine

The modest virgin, the prudent wife, and the careful matron, are much more serviceable in life than petticoated philosophers, blustering heroines, or virago queens. She who makes her husband and her children happy, who reclaims the one from vice and trains up the other to virtue, is a much greater character than ladies described in romances, whose whole occupation is to murder mankind with shafts from their quiver, or their eyes. - Oliver Goldsmith

Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world. - Charles Spurgeon

In a time of universal deceit, telling the TRUTH, is a revolutionary act . -George Orwell

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. -Winston Churchill

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Christian mothers too often neglect their home-centered role for the empty promises of fulfillment in the workplace, while they warehouse their children in daycare centers. Parents send their children to secular schools where God is outlawed, and they allow them to watch trashy movies and listen to vile music—and hang out with those who do the same. After years of training in the ways of rebellion through godless schooling, debauched entertainment, and peer association, Christian parents are somehow surprised when their teenagers rebel, forsaking the God of their fathers.- Philip Lancaster

You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts. - Charles Spurgeon

“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininty, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error….”-Tasha Tudor

SECULARISM is a philosophy that claims that there is no God-or that if there is a God, He is irrelevant. HUMANISM essentially says that in the absence of God, humans can and should act as gods by judging, choosing, and defining what is right for themselves. The philosophy pervading the public education system combines these two philosophies into one.-Ken Ham

The true defining situation for a person is what they do when they are alone and don't have to do anything else. What do they do? Do they do frivolous things? That's when you define what you are. -Kevin Rollins, former CEO of DELL

How can there be too many children? That’s like saying there are too many flowers. -Mother Teresa

Fifty-nine modern nations are plagued by the high-tech benefits of birth-control pills. Each of them have waged a cultural war against babies. Each of them suffer below-replacement birthrates. Each of them face potential extinction. But concerns such as national suffering, dangerous international geopolitics and the disappearance of entire nations are matters that would require mature thinking – something that was successfully bred-out of the American people when they accepted the pill as, in the words of Hugh Hefner, the greatest invention of the 20th century. - Geoffrey Botkin

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength. -Corrie ten Boom
