Living a Life of Thankfulness

Living a Life of Thankfulness

“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name” (Hebrews 13:15). On my Facebook page, a man wrote this comment: “Thankfulness is the enemy of comparison and discontent. Give thanks in all circumstances! If you make it a habit to give thanks, you will one day find you are that content person that you admired despite the circumstances. One of the sweetest, most godly…

A True Story of a Wife’s Faithfulness to an Unfaithful Husband

A True Story of a Wife’s Faithfulness to an Unfaithful Husband

Written By Mother Dearest on this post. My maternal great grandparents separated and my great grandmother left the home and crossed the border to a neighboring country, never to be seen again. (She remarried and we met our half-relatives decades later, but not her because she’d passed away long before). She left my grandmother, who was an only girl and the eldest, to raise her four brothers herself. She was only about 11 years old. Many women came in and…

To Love, Honor, Vacuum, and Obey

To Love, Honor, Vacuum, and Obey

Written by me, Lori, with help from my husband, Ken. There are four things that God asks wives to do for their husbands: love, honor, vacuum (housework), and submit, but the hardest of these things for me is to vacuum. It’s not that I don’t want to vacuum but due to a bad car accident years ago, the motion of vacuuming hurts my neck. But why is it that most Christian women will vacuum without much complaining but struggle greatly…

Why Some Men “Follow” Me

Why Some Men “Follow” Me

“The Transformed Wife gets a lot of hate from not just the secular, godless feminists, but even from Christian women as well. They say she takes things too far, and that she is not preaching the gospel. Here’s the issue though. A lot of women within the church still have this defiant feminist attitude within them. What’s interesting is when they attack someone like Lori, they’re attacking one of the few voices that talks directly, and unapologetically about how women…

You Want Emotionally Healthy Children? Stay Married.

You Want Emotionally Healthy Children? Stay Married.

There’s an incredibly heartbreaking article written by “Laura” about her life from a divorced home. There is no easy divorce. This is a lie being perpetuated upon our culture to give parents an easy way out of their covenant of marriage. Divorce devastates children and this is why God hates it. In many posts, I have written about the importance of mothers being keepers at home. It’s been proven that children who are raised by full-time mothers grow up to…

She Wasn’t There For Her Son

She Wasn’t There For Her Son

Written by a man who wants to remain anonymous. “A wife’s place is in the home.” “Wives should be keepers at home.” For the greater part of my life, I was always ambiguous and uncommitted to what these sayings mean. When I married my wife, we were both of the opinion that husbands and wives were just equal partners in “the contract,” and we never sat down together with a premarital pastoral counselor to hash out exactly what this contract…

How Not to Raise Entitled Children

How Not to Raise Entitled Children

An older, godly friend of mine is giving a talk on how not to raise entitled children to the local MOPS group. She said that she’ll be talking to a woman at church and the child will yell to her mom, “I want a donut,” and the mom will immediately leave the conversation to get the child a donut. This is how you raise an entitled child. She teaches that mothers must teach their children to not interrupt them when…

There’s No Place Like Home!

There’s No Place Like Home!

“When a child leaves their home to stay with friends it is common for them to be homesick. In fact, homesickness can be debilitating and can be painful for some children, even as they get older. We’ve all felt the sickening feeling of homesickness and understand that it is a vey real thing. “Sometimes we can feel homesick even when we are at home! I think that’s a homesickness for our eternal home. Home is very much tied to our…

Christmas Was Not Originally a Pagan Holiday

Christmas Was Not Originally a Pagan Holiday

“And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased’ (Luke 2:13, 14). If the hosts of heaven can celebrate Christ’s birth, why can’t we? So what if the date isn’t exactly the same date that Christ was born? It’s a day set apart to celebrate and thank God for sending His Son to be the…

Living According to Your Nature Brings Happiness

Living According to Your Nature Brings Happiness

Suzanne Venker wrote a great article entitled “Four Feminist Lies That are Making Women Miserable.” On her Facebook yesterday, she shared some of the comments she had received from this article. Here is one that struck me the most. There was no name listed so it will go as anonymous. “Living in accordance with your nature is what will bring happiness. Women have no idea how to live like a man, so instead, they ape men and thereby come off…
