If you don't mind me asking, how would you like

to see Proverbs 31 used? The part that always bugs me about how it's used is how the churches I've attended completely ignore the part where the woman described is working and trading outside the home. They try and use it as "you should stay home and raise kids" defense.

Mostly, I'd just like to see it used less?

In my experience, there's an undercurrent to the way that this passage gets used that's like, "...and this is the part of the Bible for women!" This really gets under my skin because it just isn't true at all. The WHOLE Bible is for women and the whole Bible is for men. I don't like the insinuation that women should keep returning again and again to this one passage when there's the entire Bible right there to study. Romans is ours too! And Genesis! Isaiah! 2 Timothy! Joel! Revelation!

Biblical womanhood (whatever we mean by that) must begin with women being well-versed in the whole Bible, and that can't happen if Proverbs 31 is treated like a banner chapter for so much of women's min. Proverbs 30 is actually the one part of Proverbs that really moves me (specifically "Feed me with the food that is needful for me...") and I've never gotten to study it in a formal context! Meanwhile, I've sat through seminars and studies and read books and listened to podcasts giving me Proverbial 31 and telling me, "Here ya go," like it's Necessary and Sufficient for Biblical Womanhood. And these two chapters are right next to each other!

Granted, I'm not a guy, but I don't see men's ministry pulling a few specific bits of Scripture and saying, "These are the Men's Chapters." There's just a presumption that the whole of Scripture is relevant to men.

In fact, if you really want to get into it, Proverbs 31 is actually directed more at men than women, saying, "this is the kind of woman you should marry." If we took half the Proverbs 31 talks directed at women and gave them to men, I think that would be a big improvement.

(I know I'm being somewhat hyperbolic here in places. I've been sitting on this ask for a little while knowing that it was basically unavoidable trying to refine my answer and like. Sorry. I am Frustrated and this is what you get from me.)

#i feel like I'm gonna get in trouble over here bc Biblical Gender Roles are Fraught #but I am sick to death of Proverbs 31 #at my Christian school in HS youth group at women's retreat in college min Bible study at conferences in women's books and podcast and and #totally sick of it #my problem with Proverbs in general is that it often seems as though 90% of its content is said more clearly and more powerfully #elsewhere in Scripture #and I think that goes extra super quadruple for 'how do I live a Godly life'? #that's so much of the Bible guys!!!!! #ask me hard questions #only thou art holy #i enjoy being a girl

This’ll only make sense if you’ve ever been into Harry Potter as well as Percy Jackson, if it makes sense at all, but:

Everybody always talked about if Harry had been raised by McGonagall he would’ve stopped Voldemort in his first year, how he’d have been top of the class along with all the rest of it, etc, and basically how they wanted to see that.

But we’ve got that in Jason. I get we collectively don’t really like Hera, because let’s face it, she kind of sucks. But despite them being the same person, Juno is a totally different person. Mars was way better than Ares, Somnus was way different than Hypnos, and Juno was different snd better than Hera. And Juno is so like McGonagall.

They’re both towering intimidating women in caretaker positions, but the kids around them (specifically Harry/Jason) also have them as a secret sort of motherly figure when push comes to shove. They’re the women that are always there guiding them and teaching them, that they can turn to in a pinch, and when looked at deeper they do kind of see/treat as a mother figure. They’re both reserved and quiet, very intelligent, strict on the outside but got massive soft spots for the kids (McGonagall with basically every student, Juno with the entirety or New Rome as their patron at least) and for their one motherless kid in particular.

Now, obviously I’m taking slight liberties with Jason here because we didn’t get nearly as much Jason/Juno content as we did Harry/McGonagall content. But I at least totally believe everything I’m saying.

There’s that scene in Ravenclaw tower in the last book where the Carrows go after McGonagall and Harry fucks them up for daring to lay a finger on her, and you really get the parental thing there.

Jason did save Juno of course in The Lost Hero, but granted, he was just following orders and not really knowing why. But he still did it, and I put his nonchalance down to amnesia. I am convinced pre-HoO Jason with all his memories would have positively leapt to Juno’s aide the second anyone dared threaten her.

Im not being funny, but Jupiter was AWOL the whole time, they basically even said it in HoO about the Titan War from what little he remembered. It definitely would’ve happened like fighting the giants. Jupiter probably hardly ever, if ever, said a word to him and all the help he got was a lightning bolt from his dad. And you don’t even NEED a god to take down a Titan, so maybe Jupiter didn’t even bother in the first war at all.

Jupiter was the equivalent of the Dursley’s. Actually related by blood and supposed to be responsible for this kid, but did fuck all and didn’t even seem to like him much.

Juno was his patron, effectively a guardian. It would’ve been Juno most likely that gave him counsel if anyone did. Would’ve been Juno expressing even a modicum of pride or approval after the war if anyone did. She was his McGonagall.

She would’ve been way more of a role model, an example for Jason to live up to. Jason basically lived by the Roman motto of the strong protect the weak. Where do you think he got that from? When was the last time Jupiter helped anybody? But Juno was Rome’s patron, she protected the Legion and she cared. He would’ve been more likely to see that in practise and emulate it. He was her champion so he’s make her proud and be New Rome’s first line of defence.

And Jason was smart and accomplished just like everyone’s idea of Harry if he’d been raised by McGonagall. We’ve got it right here in PJO and everybody’s sleeping on it. Rick has got to hurry up with those Roman prequels because I am losing my goddamn mind.

#Jason deserved a good parent #juno deserved a demigod kid to dote on #they’re quite literally my favourite demigod/godly parent duo #there’s so much potential to their dynamic. it could’ve been so interesting. nobody else has a second godly parent as a patron.

The first time FCG cast Turn Undead (I think every this campaign), they didn't know it would effect Laudna, and they apologized after, and Laudna said "it's good". People collectively decided that he didn't acknowledge her, because this fandom loves ignoring canon for the sake of cheap angst. (Episode 69, timestamp 3:49:20)

The second time they cast it, they didn't acknowledge her after, and that was a dick move, but people immediately divorced it from all context, namely that they got crit the round prior, were down a lot of HP, and were surrounded by undead enemies who were actively killing him. Not being entirely polite and deferential to Laudna in that situation is entirely reasonable and understandable if you are not utterly incapable of empathizing with them.

The third time, and this is the one that REALLY gets me, the third time, HE LITERALLY ASKED IF HE SHOULD CAST TURN UNDEAD AND LAUDNA TELLS HIM TO DO IT. I am grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you until your head pops off and rolls under the couch. LAUDNA TOLD THEM TO CAST IT. They asked, she determined they were undead, and told him to cast it. (https://www.kryogenix.org/crsearch/html/cr3-74.html#l1h16m9s)

#not tagging this because i dunno #i feel like people are really attached to this one and i don't wanna fight #i think people blow this shit way out of proportion #and i just don't think at this point Laudna feels as hurt by turn undead as people want her to feel #she let FCG come into her dreams immediately after the undead pirate fight #which is the incident where FCG actually did something uncool (not apologizing after) #unlike the other two where they did absolutely nothing wrong #she didn't have to let them do that if she felt any sort of mistrust or resentment #and she didn't seem to feel that! #she hasn't really done anything with the whole 'the gods hate me' thing after the one time she said it in canon #maybe because she immediately parlayed with an undead pirate whose godly patron turned him undead because he wanted to be undead #that mighta been a little 'oh i guess at least one good is cool with the undead' #or Marisha just decided to drop that thread #i dunno #it happens #i think it's not gonna be a point of contention between them #i just think people want stuff out of this that they're maybe not gonna get #and it's making them warp reality a little #pretend that shit didn't happen like it actually did #that Laudna literally actually told FCG to cast it that one time and everyone immediately decided that NO he did it TO HER AGAINST HER WILL #hate it.

Serving with Honor

All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited. Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because they are brothers, but should serve them all the more, since those receiving their good service are beloved believers. Teach and encourage these principles.

If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching, he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and semantics, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions, and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.

Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate: Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ, which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time. He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share, treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,” which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith.

After being caught by mortals, Ichor was desperate. He'd been stolen away from Emil and his family, and couldn't do a single thing about it. He'd been revealed to his kingdom and his people for the monster he was. For the God he was.

He was a creature, and he'd been caged by enemy soldiers.

Already half-way across the continent, he'd been locked away and cut off from all communications. The other gods. The world. He knew nothing.

And along with that, his captors were testing the limits of his godly power. He could be injured and damaged, tortured, without any sort of repercussions to his captors. He was amassing scars and losing himself.

Then when he was finally brought back into the daylight, things had changed. The mortals looked different, a lot of time had passed, their weapons were more powerful and deadly.

They held him in place, and he was forced to watch as they snuffed out minor gods, one by one. He must've been locked up for ages, seeing how many gods had been captured in his wake. He couldn't help them, couldn't even save himself.

The roar of the crowd, the cheers of the mortals. It was disgusting. Yet he couldn't feel rage. The same reason he loved the mortals was the one that brought him here. Their capability was endless, each one unique and powerful. They could change. Unlike the gods. All he felt was sorrow.

So when all was done, they dragged him off and loaded him into a cart. He didn't even bother fighting back when they dragged him out into the sunlight and dropped him on the grass.

It wasn't until he was brought back into a dark area that he brought himself back and realized that he was with the other gods. His brother was holding him, trying to get through to him. Chance was there, a warm comforting hand on his back.

He could only cling to his brother and shudder.

It was only a few days later that he'd learn of the Gods losing the war and being sealed away in the very catacombs their followers once used to take refuge. Now few worshippers remained, and the gods were nearly powerless. Ichor most of all.

#light's spot #tw death #oc #Ichor #Catacombtale #this is one of my favorite parts of his story #cuz it's right after he's finally been content with Emil for years. #they have a family and a stable life #he doesn't have to deal with godly politics as long as he keeps up with his duties #then he's taken #he never gets to come back #he never sees Emil or his children again #they know he's been caught and horrible things are happening #but he doesn't know #for a long time he believes they blame him for bring too weak to escape #to protect them #then when he gets returned to tye other gods #they were all hiding away on the mountain this whole time #they existed in a perfect bubble still #and it's only a minor disturbance to their long existence #but for Ichor it changed everything #and the other gods don't understand his change #only Reward and Chance understand #Reward because they're brothers and he knows Ichor too well #and Chance because he lost Judgement who was the most important person in *his* life #it's just so much fun to dissect!!!

Good Morning!☀️

But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7]For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. I Timothy 6:6-7

Many have been caught in the trap of measuring their success by their possessions. Add to this the tactic of advertisers of trying to keep you dissatisfied with what you have and you have the makings of an endless circle of accumulation. Mean while the stress of paying for all of these things makes it hard if not impossible for you to enjoy them.

Advertisers often use fear, especially fear of loss, in seeking to separate you from your money. The same salesman that sold you a car last year may come this year trying to stir up enough dissatisfaction in you to move you to get this year's model! Imagine how it changes things when you are walking in contentment instead of constantly accumulating more!

We did not come into the world with any of the things we now have, and had no desire for them. The desire was carefully cultivated in us by the world around us. When we leave this world we will leave them all behind. Far better than holding on to things that we lived without before, and will leave behind later, is being content in God, making him our delight and not things, living to please him and resting in his provision.

Godly living with contentment eliminates manipulation into purchases that are not to your benefit. It keeps your heart light and your spirit free. It enables you to smile in situations that cause others to frown. Godliness and contentment is great gain!

#Godliness and contentment is great gain #discontent breeds fear

before reading the novel, if someone gave me a selection of lines from zhao yunlan talking about shen wei and asked me to say who says it, i’d say shen wei. it’s unbelievable how obsessed zhao yunlan is. and tbh, relatable! at least shen wei has been in the know about it since the beginning, always keeping track of his feelings and of kunlun’s lives, but kunlun has spent 5000 reincarnating and constantly feeling incomplete for reasons that he can never pinpoint, finally he gets the missing piece, i would be obsessed too!

#this is also fueled by my own personal headcanon #that kunlun's novel story is like body horror #because he explicitly asked shen wei not to do anything to him and just live a good life with the gifts he gave him #and shen wei went and basically forced his essence in the equivalent of a too small container #he took an already mangled kunlun (missing various parts of body and soul) #and put him in a tupperware two sizes too small to make him keep living on earth #that has to hurt my man #that is a kind of suffering that only a god can endure #and kunlun has been turned human #this is almost like. lovecraftian horror #how can a human come to terms with such a great suffering? #such a great loss?? #a human shouldn't be able to feel godly pain #i would think it fucks deeply with your brain/heart/soul whatever #and at that point #if i had to choose between that kind of suffering/loss #and simply being content but wasting away like shen san #i'd also choose like shen san #guardian #guardian novel #guardian hc #zhao yunlan #weilan #shen san extra

June, 1 (Morning) Devotion

“The evening and the morning were the first day.”

Genesis 1:5

Was it so even in the beginning? Did light and darkness divide the realm of time in the first day? Then little wonder is it if I have also changes in my circumstances from the sunshine of prosperity to the midnight of adversity. It will not always be the blaze of noon even in my soul concerns, I must expect at seasons to mourn the absence of my former joys, and seek my Beloved in the night. Nor am I alone in this, for all the Lord’s beloved ones have had to sing the mingled song of judgment and of mercy, of trial and deliverance, of mourning and of delight. It is one of the arrangements of Divine providence that day and night shall not cease either in the spiritual or natural creation till we reach the land of which it is written, “there is no night there.” What our heavenly Father ordains is wise and good.

What, then, my soul, is it best for thee to do? Learn first to be content with this divine order, and be willing, with Job, to receive evil from the hand of the Lord as well as good. Study next, to make the outgoings of the morning and the evening to rejoice. Praise the Lord for the sun of joy when it rises, and for the gloom of evening as it falls. There is beauty both in sunrise and sunset; sing of it, and glorify the Lord. Like the nightingale, pour forth thy notes at all hours. Believe that the night is as useful as the day. The dews of grace fall heavily in the night of sorrow. The stars of promise shine forth gloriously amid the darkness of grief. Continue thy service under all changes. If in the day thy watchword be labour, at night exchange it for watch. Every hour has its duty, do thou continue in thy calling as the Lord’s servant until he shall suddenly appear in his glory. My soul, thine evening of old age and death is drawing near; dread it not, for it is part of the day; and the Lord has said, “I will cover him all the day long.”
