Before I began writing for my blog over ten years ago, I knew I wasn’t a good writer. When I began writing, I kept apologizing for being a poor writer. A few months after I began my blog, a good friend of mine who teaches writing wrote to me and told me that I am a good writer. She told me that reading my posts was like having me sit across the table from her and talking to her. She…
In the olden days, women could not be career women. Life was far from easy. The woman’s work was needed in the home just to survive. There was no running water, no restaurants, no gasoline, no dishwasher, no washing machines, and so on. There was also no birth control, daycare centers, nor public schools. Women were NEEDED at home. The sin they struggled with was staying at home. They would want to wander to other women’s home to gossip, and…
“In the Betty Crocker Cookbooks of old, you may be fortunate enough to find a hidden creed slipped inside. It is beautiful words written from a fictitious Betty Crocker (though keep in mind that a real-life virtuous woman did write it!) in the 1920’s. It was meant to inspire homemakers from long ago to join the ‘Home Legion’ and declare ‘Good Homemaking for a Better World.’ Oh how the times have changed (insert sorrowful sigh)… but doesn’t that sound lovely…
“Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse God and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips” (Job 2:9,10), FOOLISH, void of understanding or sound judgment; weak in intellect; unwise, imprudent; proceeding from depravity. God’s Word has a lot to say…
Beth Allison Barr has degrees from higher institutions of education and a high-powered career. When she had small children, she was asked if she was going to homeschool them. Well, this greatly offended her as if all she was created to do was be a wife and mother. Therefore, she wrote an entire book explaining away God’s will for women in order to fit her lifestyle. Instead of molding her life into the Bible, she molded the Bible into her…
The role for women spelled out in God’s Word is so terribly maligned these days. Our culture is always trying to undermine it. Even most female “Bible” teachers are participating in doing this by twisting Scripture to mean the opposite of what God intended! In the beginning, God made man from the dust of the earth. He made the woman from the man’s rib, because the man was alone and needed a help meet. “It is not good that the…
My home was not one of peace when I was growing up. My mom and dad argued regularly when my dad was home which wasn’t often because he worked so much. They were not happy together at all. There were times in my teenage years when I wish they would have divorced, but those thoughts were fleeting. However, they stuck it out until the day my mom passed into the arms of Jesus. When my mom was around 80 years…
IMAGINATION, A conception or imagining of some event; a scheme, plot, or project, especially of evil. “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). “An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief” (Proverbs 6:18). “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in…
For many years, I listened to the Dennis Prager radio show. He spoke often about men’s and women’s struggle. He said whereas men struggle with their sexual nature, women struggle with their emotional nature. I believed it 100 percent! Women absolutely struggle with being led by their emotions and feelings more than most men. This is why women are more easily deceived (1 Timothy 2:14). I never struggled with my sexual nature. I didn’t feed it when I was young….
“Purity culture tells women that, through the way they dress, the way they move, and the roles they play in churches and in households, they’re the ones responsible for making sure the men around them won’t ‘stumble’ sexually. As a result, it cultivates an environment in which victim blaming and rape culture flourishes and results in debilitating shame for hundreds of thousands of women.” (Matthias Roberts) These are the feminist talking points to make women feel no responsibility whatsoever for…
