Get Back to the Biblical Model of Courting and Christian Households

Get Back to the Biblical Model of Courting and Christian Households

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 Thoughts on Hannah Harper Winning American Idol

My Thoughts on Hannah Harper Winning American Idol

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?…

Is It Better If You Don’t Marry? Is This God’s Will for Most?

Is It Better If You Don’t Marry? Is This God’s Will for Most?

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 95 Year Old Dad’s Childhood

My 95 Year Old Dad’s Childhood

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…

They Purposed to Abstain From Debt

They Purposed to Abstain From Debt

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…

Idolizing Stars

Idolizing Stars

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…

She Excels Them All – Proverbs 31:29-31

“Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Her Children Call Her Blessed – Proverbs 31:28

“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” “Her children arise up — Whose testimony is the more considerable, because they have been constant eye-witnesses of her whole conduct, and, therefore, must have seen her misdemeanours, if there had been any, as well as her virtues; and call her blessed — Both for her own excellences, and for many happy fruits which they have gathered from her wise and godly education of them….

She Looks Well to the Ways of Her Household – Proverbs 31:27

“She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.” Proverbs 31:27 “She diligently observes the management of her domestic business, and the whole carriage of her children and servants. Whereby he also intimates, that she spends not her time in gadding abroad to other people’s houses, and in idle discourses about the concerns of other persons, as the manner of many women is, but is wholly intent upon her own house.” (Benson Commentary)…
