Almost every week while my children were growing up I took them to AWANA which stands for “Approved Workmen are Not Ashamed” from 2 Timothy 2:15. My youngest two children began when they were three years old and went through junior high. My oldest even went a few years in high school. Every week, they had to memorize several verses, sometimes even more. They hid many Bible verses deeply in their hearts. Most every morning, Ken and I read Morning…
The discussion about women teaching the Word is a hot topic in today’s lukewarm culture but I never want to make rules that are not in the Word. If older women are to only teach other women what is in Titus 2:4, 5, they would absolutely have to teach some of the Bible. I have to use Bible verses to teach what good, modest, chaste, and sober are according the the Word. I teach them what a meek and quiet spirit….
Ken and I take a walk around a park near us almost every afternoon and we hold hands the entire time. Once in a while, we will pass these two women. One of them is the daughter of the other one. One time, we weren’t holding hands for some reason and the older woman made a motion with her hands to show us she wanted to see us holding hands. In church whenever we sing, we put our arms around…
According to the New York Times feminists lost with this last election and the entire piece was trying to figure out why. These sentences caught my eye: “You didn’t hear explicit calls for women to stay at home and be subservient to men, although it’s an open question how many Americans are receptive to questioning traditional gender roles. Many who care about the place of women in American society are gripped by fears that men will have a free pass…
“Gentle Parenting” is the rage right now. Some even refuse to say “no” to their children. They have their children sleep in their beds. They would never spank their children, because they claim Jesus is a gentle parent. We were gentle parents but not in this way. We were kind, loving, affectionate, warm, and joyful with our children, but we said “no” often to them as the Lord says “no” to us about many things that harm us or are…
Yes, you read that right. According to Jennifer “Glass and her fellow researchers concluded that the conservative religious culture is in fact a major contributing factor thanks to ‘the social institutions they create’ that ‘decrease marital stability.’ Specifically, putting pressure on young people to marry sooner, frowning upon cohabitation before marriage, teaching abstinence-only sex education and making access to resources like emergency contraception more difficult all result in earlier childbearing ages and less-solid marriages from the get-go, Glass writes in the…
“Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts” (Isaiah 3:16, 17). These women were the opposite of modest. They were proud and evil. Matthew Henry wrote this about them. “Let…
Written By Charles Spurgeon The Lord Jesus Christ acted in what he did as a great public representative person, and his dying upon the cross was the virtual dying of all his people. Then all his saints rendered unto justice what was due, and made an expiation to divine vengeance for all their sins. The apostle of the Gentiles delighted to think that as one of Christ’s chosen people, he died upon the cross in Christ. He did more than…
