Re: Introduction

Ladies, in my humble opinion, you are doing a wonderful job following Titus 2:3-5. I greatly desire to obey God's command in Genesis 1:28 and fill the world with his little soldiers to set the world on fire with his love as Jesus wanted to in Luke 12:49.

Re: Introduction

Following my recent volunteer effort attempting to bring The Truth to dissipated heathens I am anxious that new season's fabrics might hold a shallow appeal for anyone hoping to pass muster in the wedding stakes. There is a satanic sub-text in every fashion image plastered on billboards, stuck on busses, in glossy magazines, shouting lies.


"What lies?" the Christian daughter may wonder.


The lie that one should look appealing by dressing like a paint bomb.
The lie that "strumpet" is the new coy.
That fabric should be sheer and flowing.
Accentuating rather than concealing.


And sure enough the stereotype bombards us every day until we almost think that a splash or two might cheer him up, orange, flamingo, electric blue.


It's not really about the colour is it.


Did you notice the hats? Why anyone would go outside with anything like that on their head is beyond me. No Christian husband would tolerate such a thing and if you bought one and put it on all you'd attract is male birds.

The feather obsession is not limited to heads. Cheery prints are now available for the home seamstress in a variety of unusual avian themes. The problem is not so much green feathers as it is the fabric itself. Would any Christian parade herself in such a manner?

No.

Having arranged matters with your new owner and after the funds had cleared your father may be expected to invite his new son-in-law to meet you. Whether or not you're kept in the same building, you will certainly not be in the same room where Biblical values are followed and he opens the door and walks in and is clobbered with this?

Can you imagine his disappointment.

When you see this stuff on the roll it looks cheerful, matching your eyes perhaps or complementing your hair. But the reality is altogether something else and I am happy to provide these examples of what results from an impulsive purchase at the fabric shop.

Re: Introduction

Thank you. My first official date with him is going to be at my house chaperoned by my parents, of course. My mother has told me to cook, and I'm trying to come up with a good menu. What suggestions do you have? He likes plenty of coffee, bacon, lard, pies, and venison. What dishes work well with that?

You have the makings of a fine meal there, Sister. I advise chopping the bacon with the venison and stuffing the resulting mixture into the stomach of the deer. Simmer until done, about two hours or so. Serve with the coffee and a nice slice of pie (maybe two, or three) and everything will be perfect.

Better to just give him all the pie he can eat.

Re: Introduction

Hello,

So, after much prayer, consultation, and time in my prayer closet, I am planning on making a meat pie with venison, bacon, and turkey (a food from his childhood), stuffed deer stomach as dear Alvin Moss suggested, and three different pies - apple, cherry, and pecan for in 1 Samuel 8:13 it says, "And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers". Should I bake a cake, bread, or anything else? Is a soup or salad necessary? I do not want to go too overboard, as Philippians 4:5 instructs, but I also want to show him that I am quite decent in the kitchen?

I also plan on trying to show him I can follow 1 Timothy 5:1-2. I enjoy raising children up in the Lord, and keeping them on the straight and narrow path, despite how much it pains my foolish, female, little heart. I am constantly reminding myself though that while the pain hurts, it will be gone, and the alternative, eternal damnation in hell is so much worse. They deserve the pain now, and in the long run, I'm doing them a huge favor, and in following the teachings of the Lord for I hope that in my future, I can try to emulate the Proverbs 31 woman.

One concern of mine is that I'm starting to get old. I know that the Lord gave Sarah a child, in Genesis 21:2, but not every woman is as blessed as she was with her advanced age. However, I am putting my trust in the Lord, my father, and my future husband and master, to do right by me and help me add more soldiers for Christ. After all, in Psalm 113:9, "He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord." I hope I will receive the same blessings, and I spend two hours in my prayer closet praying. I sure hope He hears my prayers!

True Christians at Landover Baptist Church, I can not express how grateful I am of all the loving support, advice, and instruction I've received here. My father and mother are grateful that I can get more teachings and instructions from people they know aren't God-mockers, atheists, catylicks, mooslims, and whores. You are doing a wonderful job of following His final instructions on Earth found in Matthew 28:18-20.

Yours in Christ,
Elizabeth

Re: Introduction

Home-baked bread is always a welcome accompaniment to any meal. Ecclesiastes 9:7

In my view a home without cake is like a True Christian(TM) without a Bible (KJV 1611). I would send you the coffee cake recipe, but I have made it so often that I no longer need to measure out the ingredients, just do it by eye.

Soup? Hmm. I would ask his mother. As for salad, definitely not. Real Men don't eat salad - is salad even mentioned in the Bible?

Re: Introduction

Thank you on the advice about what to serve and what not to serve. What type of flour should I use for the bread? I have found a few verses in the bible mentioning something akin to salad. Not the direct word, but a version of it. By no means do I mean to defy the fact that True Christian men do not eat salad, but I did want to bring to light these verses.

Yours in Christ,
Elizabeth

What does this mean? Salad? Christian people surely don't eat muslims.

Re: Introduction

When Jesus had to feed the multitude, did he feed them salad? No. He fed them fish (meat). He could have changed the grass to lettuce if he wanted to give them salad, but no, he fed them meat.
Matthew 14:19-21 19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

"Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith" Proverbs 15:17.

Thank you for your thorough introduction, so many wretches just turn up and start spouting nonsense and it's great to see someone actually reading The Bible.

When considering herbs, however, an element of caution is often beneficial as I discovered recently. Imagining myself to be doing some sort of research I had wandered into an environment where novel interpretations of "herb" produced an outcome that was not Scriptural at all

_http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showpost.php?p=1081182&postcount=34_

Although a dinner of herbs would be rather a C.minus affair, God is reminding us, there is actually something worse. Hatred and beef. Suggesting "hatred and luxury" would be an interpretation and I won't suggest that, but however bad salad is hatred is worse and I would not encourage you to serve the meal God chose to illustrate hatred.

Especially since your father has romantic intentions for you with this young man. My host in the link also had romantic intentions, quoted Scripture about "herbs" and certainly knew how to serve beef BUT, and it's a big but, is that the sort of path you want to tread? There was no parental supervision there.

So think carefully about what you're about to do. Do you really want to serve salad?

I hope that is helpful.

Re: Introduction

Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful responses. As my foolish, stupid head got me off the right track and thinking about feeding him salad, I received a very sound beating from my father who thank Jesus follows Proverbs 22:15. I am so grateful that he taught me my lesson and my place as a daughter and female.

Mitzalizalor: I greatly appreciate your thoughtful response. I will be far more careful in the sense that I will carefully read and understand Scripture before using it. I understand why As I am eager to serve him, I would hate to displease my future lord and master, since I want to follow 1 Corinthians 11:8-9. After all, I am his helpmeet, as said in Genesis 2:18. So, I will never feed him salad, but always everything that he loves and enjoys! After all, his pleasure before my own, ALWAYS. 1 Peter 3:1-6!

Dear Miss Lamb,

I did not mean to offend or worry you any more than you already are. Everyone has slightly different biological clocks. And my mother's side was curst even more with a biological clock that ends slightly sooner than others. Since I want to bear as many children as possible, I am slightly worried about my age. However, if it is His plan, you will find a husband. Take a look at Hebrews 11:11, and Psalm 113:9. I hope it will comfort you.

Yours in Christ,
Elizabeth

I'm over it, Liz. The Holy Ghost revealed to me while I was in prayer that there is definitely a husband in my future. God is so good, all the time. As the hymn says: "Oh Lord, my God, my Savior true, I give my heart to none but you. Your love, your peace, your Spirit send, my soul to heal, my soul to mend. I praise Your Name, Sweet Jesus, now; I freely on my knees do bow. For thee a cup of thanks I pour, and leave it now by heaven's door."

Re: Introduction

Praise the Lord Miss Lamb!!! What a blessing - I'm sure your husband will love your piety and your pies. Psalm 103:1-2.
