My Husband, My brother in Christ

I especially enjoy writing about Biblical Womanhood as well as the application of Biblical theology from the perspective of a woman longing to communicate my love for who God is as revealed in His Word of knowable and applicable truth and NOT who I imagine He is from some sentimental, me-centered perspective that is based on relative, roller-coaster ride of self-sustained religion 'truth'. In other words, I like to encourage others to press on in His truth and His love for His glory.

But then, everything I have written has likely been said a whole lot better by someone else. I definitely have no insight that is deeper than what God has already revealed. Therefore, if you find anything of value here than give God the glory!

"Lisa at Deo Volente is another blogger that I'd love to meet with and share some coffee. She's been through some rough circumstances in her life, and she's come through them clearly showing the grace of God, and honouring Him through those circumstances. Her various posts are sometimes funny, often really make you think, and always theologically sound."-Jen at JoythruChrist

Lisa is passionate about her reformed faith and her posts reflect how her faith is practically applied to situations in her life. Very difficult ones, from time to time...Ukrainiac

"Lisa's site has become one of my new favorites to read and to participate. I think she brings a nice touch to the application of theology to everday life as a woman and as a mother. It's sort of like Secret— strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." -Young Wilderness Voice

"Praise the Lord! I have finally found the sold-out, brainy Christian women bloggers, and from what I can tell so far, most of them are Reformed to boot! I knew they had to be out there somewhere. It was just a matter of time. I was directed to Lisa’s blog this morning ...which led to Carla’s blog ... and these are leading me to many others." -Katy at Logoscentric

If only...

I didn't read my Bible... if I was just content reading other books about the Bible so that I could be tossed to and fro by every wind of Doctrine... I could just listen to sermons and sit back and not be compelled to be a Berean, testing all things against God's Holy Word. Wouldn't my life be easier if I did not know what I know and long to know my God more deeply?

I mean, really... I wouldn't be offended by, for example, how the trinity is defined in the book "The Shack"... a book that most everyone else around me thinks is so great. It wouldn't bother me when people take the Lord's name in vain... right? I could just go along my merry little way, content with dubious "Christianity" that glories in doubting and vague proclamation of ambiguous relative truth, embracing a JUDGE NOT!! attitude even when I am called to be discerning as I seek to be relevant to my culture, changing Scripture to fit the currant trend, making the Gospel more attractive as I blow off the Christian forefathers who have gone before me because they just can't relate to today. SHHHH!!!! Just don't mention the wrath of God... only focus on what everyone wants to hear. Don't mention that the Holy Spirit isn't just my comforter, but has come to convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment.

...but... there's no turning back... because of what I know as I long to grow in the grace and knowledge of my Lord.
No turning back.

...why would I ever want to turn back? Just to please men?

But God... help me to only want to please you even if it means I am rejected, scorned, forsaken by men... help me to remain teachable... help me to be gentle and patient and kind and humble for Your name's sake.... help me.

Below is a video testimony about how God saved our marriage after an 18 month separation, 5 years into our marriage. We had 2 children when we separated. We now have 6 children and have been married for... well, OH so much longer!!!... by the grace of our faithful Heavenly Father.
