This document provides 10 spiritual truths for Christian women that are rarely heard: 1. Life is not short and focusing too much on earthly pleasures can detract from eternal life. 2. Excessive shopping can become an addiction and idol that takes attention away from God. 3. Focusing too much on appearance and vanity is a heavy burden and wastes time and money better spent on spiritual growth. 4. Clothing that accentuates sexuality can arouse sinful thoughts in others and cause unnecessary distraction.

1. TEN SPIRITUAL
TRUTHS CHRISTIAN
WOMEN RARELY
HEAR
A LAYMAN’S PERSPECTIVE

2. 1. LIFE IS NOT SHORT
Eternal life is actually quite long. Trying to achieve your
best experiences on earth may deduct from your
experience in the afterlife.
Lay up for yourselves treasures in
heaven (Mat 6:20)

3. 2. SHOPPING IS A REAL ADDICTION
& GENUINE IDOLATRY
Excessive shopping has a poisonous
effect on the spiritual life because it shifts
your devotion from the Creator to the
created.
Diet from lesser goods
To increase appetite for highest good!

4. 3. VANITY IS NOT A VIRTUE
Giving excessive
attention to how
you look is a
heavy and
harmful burden.
How much time &
money is lost in
trying to obtain
momentary
notice?
…let your adorning be the hidden
person of the heart with the
imperishable beauty of a gentle and
quiet spirit, which in God's sight is
very precious. (1 Peter 3:4)

5. 4. WOMEN’S CURVES
ARE SENSUAL
Don’t underestimate how fitted clothing arouses
the sexual senses of men. Accentuating the
shape of your sexual parts draws unhealthy
attention and makes for unnecessary distraction.
…sinning
against your
brothers and
wounding
their
conscience
when it is
weak, you sin
against
Christ.
(1 Cor 8:12)

6. 5. WOMEN SUFFER FROM
PRIDE THE SAME AS MEN
Pride is a high or excessive esteem of one's
self for some real or imagined superiority, as
rank, wealth, talents, character, etc.
Those who honor themselves will
be humbled, but people who
humble themselves will be
honored. (Luke 14:11)

7. 6. EXTREME FEMINISM
OPPOSES FEMININITY
Feminism as a correction to chauvinism is
fighting fire with fire. Pride invokes more
pride & militates against unity and peace.
Masculinity + Femininity in loving relation to
one another is God’s ideal economy.
Productive relations must be
complementary not adversarial.

8. 7. TIME AND ENERGY ARE
LIMITED RESOURCES
“I can do all things thru Christ”
is about contentment,
not ambition. Energy
distributed left will
naturally deprive
the right, by
design.
Godliness with contentment is great gain. (1 Tim 6:6)
First Law of Thermo-dynamics:
Energy Can Neither Be Created
Nor Destroyed - Only Transferred

9. 8. OLDER WOMEN SHOULD
TEACH YOUNGER WOMEN
Women will need to vie for
younger women’s respect and
attention just like everyone else.
Gain and maintain influence to
lead them.
…teach what is good, and
so train the young women…
(Titus 2:3)

10. 9. YOU DON’T HAVE TO
BE A PASTOR TO LEAD
The church is in dire need of mature, faithful Christians with useable gifts.
Support ministries and lay leaders will minister in ways and crevices of
society that clergy never will.
Priscilla and Aquila
my helpers in Christ
Jesus (Romans 16:3)

11. 10. YOU NEED TO KNOW
BIBLICAL THEOLOGY
Christian doctrine is a pillar of our faith and a key component of the
discipleship process. Don’t let Satan fool you or allow intellectual laziness
to keep you from engaging God and his truth with your mind.
My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge. (Hosea 4:5-6)

SHALL SET YOU
