The was written by Lisa Vitello in her newsletter New Harvest Homestead Some twenty years ago, when my first child was still small and we lived in Southern California, I attended a church near our home. It was a fairly typical evangelical church with a large congregation and lots of young couples with children. It seemed like a perfect fit for us at the time. I hadn’t been attending too long, but I made a few friends right away. One…
Posted by Joseph Spurgeon on Facebook Westminster Divine Daniel Cawdrey on a Woman’s Subjection to Her Husband (He wouldn’t be well received by reformed people today): Question. What is the main duty of the wife? Answer. Subjection or submission to her husband (Genesis 3: 16). Question. What does this subjection consist of? Answer. In these two things: an acknowledgment of his superiority over her. In her respect to him, as her superior. Question. How does it appear that her husband…
Written By Pastor Toby Sumpter The reason why #spankinggate matters is there is a full court press from the liberal left to groom and disciple our children. The world hates the idea of us teaching our children to rule their emotions, to have self-control, and above all else be obedient to Christ. Everyone knows that children are the future, and we are fighting over rival visions of the future. One vision worships the goddess of feelings and sentiment. In that…
Housekeeping Monthly in May of 1955 reportedly published an article on how to be a good wife. It was called, “The Good Wife’s Guide.” Women mock these today, but most marriages would be strong and survive until death to they part IF these were followed. (I will add my commentary on some of them!) 1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of…
A few months ago, I decided to have all of the articles from New Harvest Homestead written by Lisa Vitello typed out for me so I could make posts from them. Lisa wrote these in the early to mid 2000s and they’re full of gems of wisdom. I decided to put together one this morning and she titled it “Titus 2 Wisdom: Loving Our Husbands” which is ironic since I just posted my video “Learning to Love Our Husbands” for…
This is an email a woman wrote to me. She gave me permission to share it. I follow your main page The Transformed Wife. I saw your post teaching women how to handle it when their husbands are committing adultery. My husband committed adultery last year with a girl ten years younger than us. I believe it happened because I was quarrelsome, and I wasn’t letting my husband lead. I believe I did play a part and drove him away…
Lisa Vitello used to publish a newletter called “New Harvest Homestead” in the early 2000s. She is an excellent writer, and I know many of you will love her writings. They’re priceless! I don’t have to tell most of you that “vintage” is very popular right now. Just tack that word on to most anything and you can sell it for a good profit on eBay, Vintage dishware, vintage fabrics, vintage clothing; it’s a true phenomenon. All that is old…
My husband has encouraged me to make videos to go along with each chapter in my book “Biblical Womanhood: A Study Guide.” I finally decided to do it and enjoyed it thoroughly! When I have made videos before, I just spoke off the top of my head about something I had been pondering. It’s a lot easier to have a book and outline in my hand about what to talk about. Since I have been teaching biblical womanhood for twenty…
The other night, I listened to a sermon by Voddie Baucham called The Sufficiency of Scripture in the Disciple-Making Ministry of the Church and the Home. I encourage you to all go listen to it! He affirms what I teach concerning what women should be teaching other women. Older women are commanded to teach younger women. What are they commanded to teach them, so the young women don’t blaspheme God’s Word? “That they may teach the young women theology, Bible,…
Written By Bill Smith on Facebook “The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him: What, my son? What, son of my womb? What, son of my vows? Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.” (Proverbs 31:1-3) In 1969, Mallory Millet was invited by her sister, Kate, to attend a meeting to start a revolution. They were in the preliminary stages of forming The National Organization of Women. Kate was…
