Cars Keep Women Away From Their Homes

Cars Keep Women Away From Their Homes

The automobile has kept many women out of their homes almost as much as careers do. They are out and about shopping, eating out, running their children all over the place, going to Women’s Bible studies and conferences, and being anywhere but home. In biblical times before cars, young women had the habit of doing this: “…they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they…

Why Women Should Only Teach Biblical Womanhood

Why Women Should Only Teach Biblical Womanhood

My conviction that women shouldn’t be teaching women doctrines other than the doctrine of biblical womanhood, as commanded in Titus 2:3-5, has given me a lot of criticism from many places. I am even being called dangerous, legalistic, ungodly, and a false teacher. Women’s Bible studies are the pathway that has led to many female preachers/pastors, women speaking in the churches, and lukewarm churches. If women can preach/teach Scripture in a church, how is this any different than the men…

Living a Life of Simplicity and Contentment

Living a Life of Simplicity and Contentment

Recently, I shared a picture of my kitchen on my social media. I shared it because of the sun streaming through my windows in the late afternoons as the days grow longer thus showing every fingerprint, all of the dust, dirty cupboards, and making every imperfection clearly visible. It caused me to deep clean it all. Spring seems the time to deep clean and maybe this is why! The sun shows us that our homes need it. Invariably, one woman…

Men, Marry Virgins Since the Risk of Divorce Plummets

Men, Marry Virgins Since the Risk of Divorce Plummets

“Wolfinger found a strong correlation among the three cohorts: women who married as virgins had the lowest divorce rates by far. In the 1980s, 11 percent of virgin marriages (on the women’s part) ended in divorce within five years. This decreased to eight percent in the 1990s, and then fell again to six percent in the 2000s. Similarly, women with the second lowest five-year divorce rates are those who had only one partner prior to marriage.” (source) A woman who…

Does Teachers of “Good Things” Mean Women Can Preach to Women Anything They Want?

Does Teachers of “Good Things” Mean Women Can Preach to Women Anything They Want?

“The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things” (Titus 2:3). Many women these days will use the phrase in this verse “good things” to mean that they are able to teach any doctrines in God’s Word to other women. Is this what is meant? I searched the old commentaries to see what they had to say about it. “Teachers of good things.–Or, teachers of…

No Smartphones, TVs, or Sleepovers For Their Family

No Smartphones, TVs, or Sleepovers For Their Family

There’s a family, Katie and Elisha, who have twelve things they have decided to not do as a family. They both come from godly families whose parents were intentional about raising their children in the ways of the Lord. They are very admirable and will probably challenge many of you in the way you raise your children. Some of these things your husband will disagree with. That’s okay. Submit to your husband’s desires. Both parents don’t have smartphones. They are…

Her Life at Home Pays For Itself

Her Life at Home Pays For Itself

This comment is from Kelly Anne Mabee in response to something I wrote on Facebook. Many women seem to want me to STOP teaching women to be keepers at home since either they don’t want to be home or they can’t. Many wrote that families simply can’t make it on one income. I tried to reason with them and gave all of the reasons why I won’t stop. This comment stood out as amazing to me. I hope it blesses…

What Does NOT Depriving One’s Husband Entail?

What Does NOT Depriving One’s Husband Entail?

Recently, Mountain Housewife tweeted this which caused quite a controversy. “Dear married ladies, your approach to sex should be ‘whatever, whenever, and wherever.’ Then watch your marriage and life thrive.” I then responded to her tweet on my timeline: “Do you agree with her? I love her and she gives great marital advice but I would never give this advice since some men enjoy sex that can be harmful (anal sex, for instance). Some young mothers could never fulfill the…

His Authority Over You

His Authority Over You

Many in the churches have watered down a husband’s authority over their wife. It’s too offensive to many, therefore, the solution is to call it complementarianism, have the husband called to “lead and serve” his wife, and do away with Patriarchy altogether. What does God have to say about this? “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and…

Embrace a Covenant Driven Marriage, Not a Feelings Driven One

Embrace a Covenant Driven Marriage, Not a Feelings Driven One

Written By Owen Strachan One of the most disastrous ideas we face is this: love is a feeling. Survey says: nope. You may well feel powerful positive emotions toward your spouse. I hope you do! But love in biblical terms NEVER reduces to feelings. True marital love is a commitment; it’s a covenant borne of the gospel of Christ. Here are some truths about your feelings and your marriage, friend: –You could EASILY feel drawn to folks who aren’t your…
