How to Dress for
Have you noticed how people are dressing immodestly today? The clothes are getting tighter, shorter, or even skimpier. The sad thing is that it is creeping slowly into the church. Have you been to a church where you have seen women wearing short dresses or low-cut necklines? I have and it’s a sad day that happens. If we don’t like it, do you think God loves it? When we show up at worship with immodest dress, we are disrespecting not only ourselves but God. God doesn’t like us to be immodest, and most of the time I see immodesty in women “In like manner also, women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness, and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array” (1 Timothy 2:9).

Old Testament Prophetesses:
Noadiah Who is Noadiah and why is she considered to be a false prophetess? Noadiah means witness, ornament, of the Lord. She is only mentioned once in the Bible in Nehemiah 6:14. Nehemiah wrote “My God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat, according to these their works, and the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who would have made me afraid” (Nehemiah 6:14, NKJ). The only thing we know about her is that she was part of a group who opposed Nehemiah when he wanted to rebuild Jerusalem which earlier had been destroyed by the Babylonians.

So of course, like everyone else, I needed to research since I didn’t how to make any of the facial products that I wanted to use. While researching, I came across several recipes that use apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, and other items that I have in my cupboards. I was amazed that you could use coconut oil or apple cider vinegar on your face. I found several recipes for each product that I wanted to make so I could try out different ones to see which one fits my face.

Sapphira
Sapphira and her husband are only mentioned this one time in the Bible, but it is powerful and will leave you thinking. Sapphira is an example of what happens to you when you lie. God hates lies. “Lying lips are abomination to the Lord, but they that deal truly are his delight” (Proverbs 12:22). This should be a lesson to us all.
