There were five different women I was able to speak truth to this week. I love it when God puts women into my life! I took a few of my grandchildren to the park down our street three times this past week, and each time I found a young woman to speak truth to. I guess I will call the park my “fishing hole!” The first one had two young children and was pregnant with her third. Her husband is…
This post is for those who don’t read my writings on social media! The comment section is open for those of you who would like to discuss anything. Does anyone even read blogs anymore? I do! Beth Moore: “You have beaten the drum loudly about what women in SBC churches cannot do. So, what CAN they do? Clarity here is essential. What is a woman to do who has been gifted BY GOD to teach the Bible, especially if…
Saint John Chrysostom (c. 347–407 AD) was a prominent early Church Father, Archbishop of Constantinople, and one of the greatest preachers in Christian history. An appreciation of the mutual need that man and wife have for each other can serve to resolve and strengthen love and harmony between spouses. “God divided the activities of our lives into two areas, public and domestic. Wives were entrusted with the household, and men were given civic duties, in commerce, in the courts, in…
“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives.” (1 Peter 3:1) The KJV commands wives to win disobedient husbands without THE word in 1 Peter 3:1. The NIV states “without words.” The NLV “without any words.” The ESV ” without a word.” The NKJV “without a word.” The NASB “without a word.” The ASV “without the word.” The…
Written by William Gouge V @William_Gouge_X on X in response to a video Lila Rose made. I never thought I’d ever agree or repost a Lila Rose clip, but here we are. My thoughts: First, this guy knocks it out of the park (watch the video). Christianity needs to get back to the biblical model of courting and the traditional Christian (and biblical) household codes. Ninety-nine percent of postmodern Christians have zero understanding of biblical marriage, or its intended purpose…
My husband told me that a Christian stay-at-home mother won American Idol last week. I responded, “That’s too bad. She won’t be a stay-at-home mother any longer.” I used to watch that show, but I grew bored with it. I saw other full-time mothers tell the judges on their first audition that they were doing this for their child/children. How is leaving home often and touring around the nation helping the children? Yeah, they’ll have nicer things, but so what?…
A woman responded to this post I shared on my Facebook this way: “This is so wrong and not from God! He says it is better not to marry if you don’t need to (or want to). It is better to focus on following Jesus and serving others. It is not wrong to want or need to marry, but it is better if you don’t.” Timothy Allen responded to her: What you’ve just done is twist the word of God…
My dad was born on April 24, 1931. He turns 95 years old today. He was in my home recently, so I decided to gather as much information as I could about his childhood. I didn’t know much about it at all, sadly. (Make sure to ask your parents about their childhood before they die!) He grew up in a small apartment above a bowling alley in North Chicago. It was about 600 square feet. His bed was right above…
Written By Glenn Schreiber on Facebook We started our marriage in debt from my wife’s student loans. It was minimal, and we rented a home at a low cost and saved up to purchase our first home debt free. This was 1990 through 1993. We purposed to abstain from debt, and raised our five children to live that way themselves. “Now godliness with contentment is great gain” “And He said to them, ‘Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s…
When I was a child, there was never any star that I idolized. I didn’t have pictures of any famous singers or actresses on my wall. I’m not sure why, since most of my friends had stars they idolized. Maybe it was because I was secure having a mom and dad who loved me. Maybe it’s because I always believed in Jesus. My mom never taught me not to idolize anyone, but neither of my sisters did either. The other…
