Welcome Home! Thank you for coming to A Christian Home and visiting our site today.   We seek to be a complete web-resource for your homelife and encouragement. May the LORD bless you as you seek to follow Him and know His ways.  May He direct your thoughts, ALL your reading and ALL your web-searches. We pray you'll find encouragement for your home & family.  A Christian Home is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Word of God and for the restoration, encouragement and for the Truth, for the strengthening of marriage, family and home.  Our purpose for this site remains the same from the beginning:  to help you find good things & resources for your home and family.  Here you will find hundreds of pages and hundreds of outside links that will instruct and encourage you and to help shine light on the path and strengthen your walk with the LORD.  We're A Christian Home because the Word matters. Home matters and  marriages and families matter!  Relationships matter.  Knowledge of the Truth matters, Modesty matters and so much more!  But mostly, we have kept this site available  because we seek to encourage the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord Jesus in all that we do: that the Word of God be not blasphemed.

Q: Why so many pages of duplicate links?
A: The reason for this is because people most often come to this site through a link from another site;  so, in order to make known, or make available, all the different resources on our site, we make an effort to reference various links throughout on each page.

Do you have questions about femininity & modest dress? More articles & clothing sites have been added! You'll notice we don't link to all "modest clothing" sites.  This decision's been made intentionally.  We do not represent all the sellers "modest" clothing that ask to be included on our website.  The ones we post can be honestly recommended to you.

Make this day a sweet one!
There aren't that many days left in this year...
Resolve to do well, resolve to finish well ---
Even if you didn't keep your "resolutions, press on!!

LOVE YOUR HUSBAND. Love your Children! You have no idea just how long or how short a time you will have with him or them.  So far as it depends on you... walk in love. Be pleasant.  Be faithful.  Today is ALL you've got.

 

KEGEL!!  Do these exercises routinely...
just remember...
if you do, and you don't stop, you won't drop. 

Try this.  While sitting at your desk here at the computer... begin to daily implement several repetitions of
Kegel exercises - Abdominal & pelvic floor strengthening exercises.  Lift and hold--- tight, tight, tight, tight, tight, tight for twenty counts - relax for ten; repeat several times.  You won't regret doing these - but, believe me, you will regret it if you don't (especially if you are a mom of many or are in the midst of becoming a mom of many!)

I was looking for material regarding "modesty" from a man's perspective and came across this letter and though most of the men & women who visit this site are older than the "girls" this young man was writing to, his letter is quite inspirational and timely, though written a few years ago. I've no idea who he is and so this is not a blanket endorsement of *any* thing on the site except this letter: A Letter to the Girls I  know:  Dear Girls...

Just a Man
a wife's response to prngrphy
by Debbie Yuck


You're a fool if you believe it's harmless to indulge in internet porn, images, stories,
chatrooms or email lists that are sexually explicit.  Be honest, be accountable.
 

men and women ...
There is no anonymity before God... He sees, He hears,
The Lord knows all your actions, words and thoughts and all the
thoughts and intents of your heart.
 

Protect your marriage! Guard your eyes and your heart!
Be swift to resist temptation.  Don't click.
You have no idea the horrific consequences of internet porn.

 Just don't even go there.


 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.  And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."
Matthew 5.27-29

Internet porn will destroy your marriage, your family, your home and your life!
It really  *IS* sex and it really *IS* sexual sin, and you will get caught and it won't be like you think! 
There *ARE* consequences for you and everyone in your family
.

Notable & Quotable

Impersonal realities do indeed exercise over me some kinds of constraint, as does the wind when it constrains me to battle against it or the rain when it compels me to take shelter. But the constraint of which I have been speaking is of a wholly different kind; it is a constraint to be pure-minded and loyal-hearted, to be kind and true and tender, and to love my neighbor as myself. And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.

  And finally, Dear Sisters...
Whatever I share, I share with you because The LORD has been very merciful to me and He is trustworthy and with the encouragement, provision, blessing and care of my husband: it's "my" work, but together, we bring you this site.  It is with thanks and praise to the LORD Jesus... He is my Rock and my Redeemer, He is my Strength, my Source and my Shield.  He's brought me through many trials, has carried me through dark days and hopeless seasons---He's given me light and He's given me hope.  That's the reason this whole website exists... to share help and hope for women and families... and it's my prayer to inspire and encourage you to be the woman God's designed *you* to be.

The advice given is peer advice and there is no intent to be the "final authority" on any matter shared.  Trust the LORD, talk with your husband about anything you read here.  I have no intention to be the "last word" --- I do not think I know everything and pray to not come across that way.  God bless you in your home.  The plate's have been dished up here; please eat what you want and leave the rest.  May the LORD fill you.
