Written By Ken Alexander If you are like most of us, your life’s schedule is very full and overflowing. There is always something tugging at you that needs to be done, and many of us feel a twinge of guilt when we just sit and relax, read a book, or veg in front of the TV. Yet, we seem to know how important taking time for ourselves is, so “What gets left undone?” A wise, old law professor started his…
The book of 1 John ends with this verse: “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” We read this and think that we don’t have idols. We no longer are like those cultures in the past who made idols and worshipped them. But guess what? We are like them. We just have different idols. Anything we put before God, we are idolizing and essentially saying that we don’t trust God. Putting idols in our lives steals our joy. It’s easy to…
Written By Darryl McIntyre The following is a message I wrote 15 years ago to encourage a Christian lady who was going through a severe burnout, which was complicated by a series of failed relationships. I have concealed her identity. She was an attractive lady and highly successful, but said that her life felt empty. She was eager to meet Mr. Right and start a family. Now in her late thirties, she was discouraged about her prospects of meeting a…
Years ago, I attended a conference on Daniel taught by Beth Moore at a local church. It was fantastic theatrics, and she spoke about visions she saw. I was not impressed at all and thought how inferior the many women in the audience must be feeling, since they don’t have these awesome visions from God like she does. In the Old Testament, God gave visions to the Prophets. In the New Testament, He gave visions to the Apostles, but even…
John Michael Clark wrote a list for men on these issues, so I decided to write a list similar for women. A few tips on building attraction with your husband: 1. Pay attention to what makes him moody. 2. Don’t get upset when he shuts you down. 3. Publicly embarrass him with compliments. 4. Look up and smile at him when he enters the room. 5. Make his life more restful by not arguing with him and needing to have…
Just as I will never support anything having to do with feminism, I will never support anything to do with environmentalism. Does this mean I don’t care about the environment? No, I do care, but there’s not much I can do on a global level. We must remind ourselves to accept the things we cannot change. This is one of them. We can’t stop women from taking birth control pills that are contaminating the waterways with their urine. We can’t…
In 1996, Pastor John MacArthur preached a number of sermons called The Fulfilled Family. I quoted one in a post a few days ago. The first sermon in the series is called “A Plan For Your Family.” Feminism’s goal was to destroy the family, and they have been successful at doing this. When the family is destroyed, the nation is destroyed. We can’t expect to wander far from God’s design for us and have anything good come from it. Here’s…
Yesterday, I shared a tweet by a man who goes by the name “King David – the Coach of Kings.” It read: “Unpopular opinion. Single mothers who ‘don’t need men’ are actively denying their sons the ability to become a man. Women cannot solely raise boys into men. They need a father, a father figure, or a masculine influence to enter manhood. Nothing else can replace it.” This triggered many single mothers. I don’t see why, however. You would think…
In 1996, John MacArthur preached a series of sermons called The Fulfilled Family. In my opinion, his two sermons on God’s Pattern For Wives are my favorite sermons of his on this topic. Here are some quotes from Part 2 on this series. “What kind of woman is the prototype of the ‘90s woman? What is the modern super-woman supposed to be? Maybe something like this: she works, builds her own career, demands equal pay, refuses to submit to her…
In an article in WSJ called “Cheap Sex and the Decline of Marriage,” you will find that the free, cheap sex that feminism promoted is not so cheap. There are some very interesting facts in this article that isn’t even written from a Christian perspective. A man named Kevin said this, “Girls are easier to mislead than guys just by lying or just not really caring. If you know what girls want, then you know you should not give that…
