Vaginal odor is a health issue affecting many women. It’s both unpleasant and embarrassing, and it can seriously undermine a woman’s self-esteem. It normally results from a vaginal yeast infection, although oftentimes the cause may be something else. Needless to mention, keeping your vagina healthy is vital for your overall health, healthy births and healthy marriages. Also, everyone who’s been through this will know that vaginal odor can seriously affect your sex life, not to mention your relationship with your partner. Although moderate vaginal odor is normal and nothing to be worried about, a strong vaginal smell, such as a fishy vaginal odor, could point to a more serious problem and requires medical attention.

James 1:26-27 NKJV MY TAKE: While Christianity contains elements of pure religion, Christianity is MORE THAN a religion. James, in the text given above, defines pure religion as something that contains two fundamental elements: 1- Genuine Love for those in need. 2- Keeping oneself from worldly filth. That is religion as defined by James. Christianity is evidently much more than that. The definition do...
