When The Biblical Truth Hurts: Losing Friends • Speaking Truth In Love | Christian Homemaking

Welcome to a full morning of homemaking in our house. My goal is to provide you with footage to inspire you to be productive - give you cooking motivation, cleaning motivation and healthy homemaker/from scratch recipes, but mostly it is to share the encouraging message from God in the voiceover. This video can be used for visual purposes or as an audio only podcast.

Speaking the truth in love is difficult and our world makes it even more difficult. We live in a post truth world. Truth is no longer truth. Truth has become whatever people want to believe. Right is wrong. Up is down, and boys can be girls if they want to be.

It's unfortunate that when we speak the truth in love we are considered judgmental, unloving, unaccepting, and just not relevant to society. Most of the time we speak lies instead of truth, and appeal to people’s emotions to be a friend to the world instead of a friend of Christ.

Flourless Brownies:

1 can black beans (rinsed very well)
1/3 cup mashed ripe banana or applesauce
1/3 cup oats
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup peanut butter
3-4 tbs chocolate chips
4 tbs cocoa powder
2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda

Blend all ingredients in blender except chocolate chips. Stir in chocolate chips last. Cook at 350 for 12 minutes. Allow them to completely cool in order to fully set (they may appear not fully cooked when hot). Enjoy!

I can sincerely relate to this title. 🤍 Speaking boldly in truth is going to offend the world, but the Word of God calls for us to do so. Walking the narrow path is not easy. I've lost friends because of sharing the truth of the gospel as well. May God continue to bless and protect you, Anna. He is our refuge and strength; He will bring the right people into our lives. If anyone has prayer requests, please do share! Praying for all 🫶🏽🕊️

[pattyhansen]

that was really powerful...3:42 "Our fear compounds OUR sin, not theirs" never thought about that. we are not to be afraid. So just speak the truth.

[mrs.carter]

I know exactly how you feel. I left Islam to follow Christ. I spoke the truth to Muslim family and have lost them. I spoke the truth to so called Christians and lost them. I have gained more peace and closeness to God therefore I rejoice. Hallelujah

I almost cried watching this… I have been boldly speaking the truth and the backlash has been really hard. It’s uncomfortable to be out there, “unashamed of the gospel of Christ” when you are standing against people who are rejecting you or calling you terrible things and saying that you are judgmental. Thank you for this video. It showed up in my feed and I wasn’t subscribed to you, and I know that was a little divine timing from the Lord. 💛

I had confronted a friend asking if there was anything I had done to offend her once I saw she had excluded me from her Bible study fellowship. She was not forthcoming and decided to pretend like there was nothing wrong. Unfortunately, she was kind in person when others were around, but ghosted me behind closed doors. I still miss her but, I realize, that it wasn't true friendship. Great words of inspiration!

[mellisugahelenae]

Because of my faith, I have not only lost my friends but also my sister and brother. My father was an alcoholic and my mother was totally misguided. My grandparents died so early that I never knew them. God has replaced everything in abundance. Even the deceased grandparents. He is truly Lord over everything. (❤ Erica from Switzerland❤)

[sarahjones]

I really like your videos, and they really are inspiring because you’re saying the right things. I became a Christian now for over 4 months and it’s been a good journey and I know that there is nothing more important then God. ❤your such a good mom! 🎉

[Anitalevy]

Very true, I`ve lost many friends and even a neighbour as I walk on the path of Christ.. It`s so sad, but it`s become a blessing that these people have left as all they want to do is live in sin, and now I can live in peace.. praise the lord.

[deidreabraham]

This is the best youtube channel that fulfills my thirst and has helped me find who I am in christ jesus.Thank you very much may God continue to bless you and your family.

[AnnieK]

I love your content, Anna. I can relate to your testimony as well, as I also came from a New Age background and found Jesus only 3 years ago (Praise God!). I have not been bold enough in sharing my faith, this video is a wonderful encouragement to do just that.

[chelseav]

I actually recently went without YouTube intentionally for a week. It doesn't sounds like much but I've noticed I've been more hooked on screens in my limited spare time but I'd like that time for reading my bible or on other activities not on screens.

I think it is fitting this was the first video I watched once I came back on.

I have lived a life serving others but still way too much unto myself and been to carnal. God's been working for a decade I me but I still need so much more from Him.

I have lost many family and friends being on this road because I didn't want to let sin consume my life but it was seen as self righteous instead of a good thing.

I subscribed and I pray the Lord continues to change me and make me less carnal. He is working.

Thank you for the scripture. Our Biblestudy reads the KJV because it hasn't been through a ton of translations and isn't from a corrupted source. We want the truth, as you mentioned, in it's purest form.

[Dancermichaela]

Thank you so much for sharing the truth. You are a beautiful soul 🙏🏽

[edub]

Your voice is so soothing.the connection I have to this video soon I as clicked on it. I have become isolated and lost almost all my friends. God isolated me to get rid of all the drama and focus on true meaning. I have bare minimum and feel better. God has me at a stand still, I have faith in his timing for my next step. I think he is building my faith. I had gut feeling at first that my life was going in the wrong direction. It got so bad I was going into work feeling sick when I clocked in. God didn’t want me there no more, I worked there 25 years. That gut feeling turned out to be the Holy Spirit guiding me out of miserable situations. Hope you see this comment, would like to talk to you. Love your video

[avapucilowski]

I feel like we sometimes crave chaos and drama in our life’s. We feel unsettled with the stillness and quietness of peace that comes by knowing who Jesus is. I hope to instill more moments of peace in my life by just spending quiet time with the Lord and meditating on the word.

[yachannaparkes]

You have a beautiful spirit sister. I enjoyed listening to your thoughts and insights on scripture. Actually I am listening to you as I clean my house in the night and it's giving me so much strength and joy in this moment. May Abba keep blessing your ministry here and your family, I pray in Yahshua's name. ❤

[mzfitmama]

I have even lost family immediate family like parents relationship brothers and sisters. When I came closer to God they dissolved. Even though they are believers as well

[stephbalmer]

I'm a Christian wife and mother to 2 under 2 living in Northern Ireland with plans to move to America in the summer for my husband's vocation to study at seminary! I have found since becoming a mother, I have personally grown a lot as I felt the Lord call me to be a keeper of my home. Many of my relationships feel like they're either over or fizzling out as I'm not conforming to the status quo of how to be a mother in todays culture, even among Christian friends who are working mums so I have less in common now. It's nice to know it's not just me that feels that! ❤

[dannie]

Wonderful message. Working on being more bold and speaking the truth with love. I needed to hear this!

[Fruitofthefemme]

This was so helpful. Been trying to do this and find courage with my family and parish. Thank you

"Soft language makes soft people." George Carlin

When I try to engage in conversation with others, I am reminded of this quote by George Carlin. The advantage of taking this walk at 52 is that you have lived and learned from your mistakes. That's the place I am at. People who stopped being friends with you over telling the truth of Christ and from his teaching weren't your friends to start with.

Keep being who you are. Just remember, more and more Americans are seeing the insanity of our society. We are looking at a great country like Russia, which is holding the teaching of Christ and their Orthodox Christian values as more important than Western acceptance. We are realizing that the insanity of our society and we are done with it. We want the values we grew up back over socially acceptance.
