A man wrote a LONG, boring post trying to convince people that I am a cult leader. Michelle Lesley used his post to support her claim that I am a false teacher. So, I want to ask you if you think I am a cult leader? Many accuse Bill Gothard of being a cult leader, too. Some of you may wonder why I even bring up Gothard’s name since most seem to despise him. It’s because he was the first…
1. I am not a Pelagian and believe that we all have inherited Adam’s sinful flesh. 2. Michael Pearl is not a Pelagian, and he, too, does not believe in or teach sinless perfectionism. 3. I believe in salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ Jesus and that we were made for good works as God’s workmanship. 4. I love correction from God’s Word, and all who know me personally see a vibrant life full of joy in Christ…
Written by Lisa Vitello in her “New Harvest Homestead” newsletter from 2005 One of the most useful lessons I have learned over the years is the concept of making money by saving money. Our 25 years of marriage have been marked by financial ups and downs. When I was a young, first-time mother, I joined the La Leche League. The Lord really used that lovely group of ladies to set me on a course for the rest of my wifely…
Today, I decided to go through some of my old photo albums. I did shed a few tears, especially for the ones who have passed away. Life goes so quickly by. I’m sure when God puts us on the new earth with Him, we will be thankful since life there will be far better. From the time I was young, I loved to teach. When I got home from kindergarten, I would have my sisters sit down and teach them…
Last weekend, TPUSA held a Women’s Leadership Summit in San Antonio, Texas. I shared this on X the other day: “TPUSA used to be run by men, mostly Charlie Kirk. Now, it’s run by women. They just had their Women’s Leadership Summit. This isn’t good and not God’s plan for women who claim the name of Christ.” Then, I added a picture of one of the women speaking at this conference. One woman, who had attended the conference, criticized me…
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…
