Christian commentator Allie Beth Stuckey shared her insights about the self-love movement many women are drawn to today. She also talked about the lies that stem from it that don’t align with God’s Word.

Thoughts on Self-Love

Allie Beth Stuckey boldly shared in “Takeaways with Kirk Cameron” podcast about her thoughts on self-love, self-care, and self-empowerment. She remarked how the world embraces this idea today and sometimes gets unbiblical.

“Christians are supposed to die to self,” she said. “And actually Scripture said that in the end days, people will be lovers of self.”

She then admitted that she had had her own journey in this area.

“Of wanting to be the solution to my problems, wanting to be enough for myself,” she explained. “Trying to prove that I am self-sufficient, that I didn’t need God. That I didn’t need His rules. And I think that’s what a lot of women are doing today when they’re latching on to kind of the self-love movement.”

Christ Is Our Sufficiency

Allie stressed that as a Christian woman, “trying to be enough” is not the goal. Instead, Christ should be the ultimate goal. And one’s worth should be anchored in Christ alone.

“We’re not enough… because Christ is our sufficiency,” she explained. “If we were enough for our salvation, sanctification, strength, we would not need Christ. But we needed Him so much that He actually died on the cross. A brutal death that He did not deserve because we’re insufficient.”

“Our insufficiency in all things, salvation and otherwise, comes from Christ,” Allie remarked. “And trying to find our sufficiency in ourselves or elsewhere is just going to exhaust us.”

A woman should see herself the way God does!

The Truth Separates From The Lies

by John Mathai January 16, 2022

written by John Mathai

What is truth? Pilate asked this question of Jesus. Jesus said I am the truth. Truth is greater than facts. Facts maybe right but they are not the truth. This is why many get confused. Most people think facts are the truth. This is how the world operates. The justice system operates on facts. Facts appear to be the truth till the facts are challenged in the court of law. The devil likes to copy the truth. This is the way he leads people away from the truth. We see a lot of things that are a copy of the original. So also our lives can copy good behaviour but that is not the truth. Many follow a guru or spiritual leader but fail to discern the truth. In this world we will be challenged by forms of truth that are not the truth.

Knowledge

Only Jesus said I am the truth. He did not talk about the truth. This is the big difference. Many talk about the truth but don’t know the truth. Truth is a person. In Him truth is absolute. To have Him is to have the truth. His life in me is the truth. Now I can walk in the truth. Knowing about a person is not the same as knowing the person. Many know a lot about a person but don’t know the person. What a sad state this is. Jesus said he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life. This is the life He imparts to us when we believe. Without Him we are just following a form of truth but not the truth.

Eternal Life

Life is a journey and we all go through phases till we come to know the truth. Once we know the truth then nothing can take us away. This is how things were with the first disciples. The first disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and with fire. They did not think about their life but gave all to Him. They received the truth as a personal experience not just knowledge of the truth. Before the Holy Spirit came they knew Jesus as someone outside them. Now they knew Him as abiding in them. This is what God desires for each of us. He wants to come and reside within us. In this way we have the truth within us. This is life and eternal life. Jesus said he who believes in me has eternal life. Come and be saved by the truth and be saved.

God Showed Me This Lie About COVID-19

by Christel Berns April 22, 2020

written by Christel Berns

Right now your mind is likely clouded with everything you’ve read regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic. Updates of COVID-19 positive cases, conspiracy theories about the virus’ origin, and many more. But what does God really have to say about all these things?

Apparently, the Christian author, speaker and Youtuber Troy Black reveals how the media lies about COVID-19.

6 Powerful Christian Movies To Watch During Quarantine

In a recent video post, he wrote, “The media works hard to report the facts, but should we take everything reported to us as if it were the truth? I believe the Holy Spirit gave me a message for you today: God’s truth supersedes the truth we’ve been fed by the media.”

Facts And Truth in God

Troy claims that God had impressed him concerning facts and truth. He said, “Even when we have all the facts reported to us, we’re not getting the whole story. You know the media is all about facts.”

Further, he added, “Even when we have all the facts, even if we have all the information reported to us. If we have facts and we don’t have truth, then we’re still listening to a lie.”

Then he continued, “The facts can only paint a picture of what we can see with our natural eyes, [of] what’s happening in this world today. What can be reported on, photographed, written about. But the truth says something a lot deeper and a lot more eternal.”

News That Are Lies

Troy stressed out that if facts from news reports lead people to be afraid, anxious, and freak out, then God says that that does not come from Him. He does not give us a spirit of fear.

“If we’re watching the news every day, reading those articles. And it keeps taking us back to this place of hopelessness, or fear, or anxiety, then we’re being spoon-fed a lie,” he explained.

The 30-year-old encourages people not to listen to the scare tactics of the enemy. He describes such scheme as “fear-based” and “greed-based” motivation.

The Christian author then said, “If it was the media’s goal not just to share information but to bring some hope and some light into the world, then their stories would not keep getting darker and darker. And it wouldn’t be fighting for the most intense headlines. They would be sharing some messages of hope… good news every once in a while.”

Troy concluded, “But even when the media has nothing good to say, if you know God, there is good news you can always run to, or go back to.”

David And Goliath

Moreover, he illustrated his point sharing the example of how David believed in the truth of who God is more than the facts of what he saw in Goliath and the Philistine army.

David listened to the truth in his heart. And he knew God was with him.

So don’t miss the truth despite what you read on the news. Don’t give in to the lies. Spend more time with the LORD in your secret place and face all those lies with the truth. Guard your heart and set your mind only on things above (see Colossians 3:2).
