Most of you heard about the fiasco between John MacArthur and Beth Moore. He told her to “Go home” which is biblical and I applauded him for doing so. However, many Christians were outraged over it. This past Sunday, he preached a sermon in response called Does the Bible Permit a Woman to Preach? I encourage you ALL to listen to it. It is fantastic! Here are a few of my favorite remarks of his: Women are collectively moving to…
So, women are leaving the churches because men aren’t leading in “Christ-like ways.” How are they not leading in Christ-like ways? They believe in male leadership in the home and the church, and wives are to submit to their husbands, plus women aren’t allowed to teach in the churches or have authority over men but to be in silence. This angers the women, so they leave. “‘I cannot count the number of women who have reached out to me over…
“And that ye study to be quiet…” (1 Thessalonians 4:11). This verse has convicted me along with the verse about having a meek and quiet spirit which God wants us to adorn ourselves with. I have been pondering these verses a lot recently with all of the controversy swirling around social media. Many young women seem to have no problem calling out and going after pastors (men) on social media. Some respond with cruel accusations. It’s an ugly sight to…
Many women ask me what books I recommend since I don’t recommend any that are written by female preachers. They don’t teach biblical womanhood. They don’t teach what God commands they teach. They have no biblical qualifications for teaching what they are teaching. Older women are commanded to teach the young women biblical womanhood as clearly stated in Titus 2:3-5. I have a saved Instagram story with all of my favorite books. Since many women are not on Instagram, I…
Written by David J. Stewart Jesus plainly taught that divorce only happens… “because of the hardness of your hearts” (Matthew 19:8). No! Leave if you must, but divorce is wrong. Marriage is a lifetime covenant. I received the following e-mail from a woman who left her husband. In a subsequent e-mail she confirmed that she had divorced him… “I saw your website. I have a question. I am divorced. My husband and I are both saved. I am saved 24…
We are told that Eve was deceived, but Adam was not. This is why women are forbidden from teaching in the churches and having authority over men. “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” (1 Timothy 2:12-14) False teachers will tell you that just because Eve…
There are many female preachers and pastors these days. In fact, it’s difficult to find a church that doesn’t have a female listed as a pastor. I decided to do a Bible study to find the qualifications that God specifically gives for women being pastors and preachers. First, let’s look at the qualifications of men who are to be elders, pastors, and preachers in the churches. “This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop,…
My husband, Ken, helped me on this one! It is not by accident that all of the Church’s greatest preachers and theologians have understood God’s clear command forbidding women from preaching in the Church. “Women pastors and women preachers are the most obvious rebellion against the word of God.” (John MacArthur) “We will add that our surprise is all the greater when women of piety mount the pulpit, for they are acting in plain defiance of the command of the…
There’s a lot of disagreements of women’s roles in the churches. The Apostle Paul made it extremely clear with what our roles are. I decided to look up what the commentaries of old wrote about 1 Timothy 2:12: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, not to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” “The whole purpose of these weighty admonitions of the great founder of the Gentile Churches relegates Christian women to their own legitimate…
“The joy and ‘uncomfortable conversations’ behind the decision of a growing number of men to throw off the shackles of an ‘archaic’ marital tradition.” This from an article called Meet the Australian men taking their wife’s surname. So instead of taking her husband’s last name, he is taking his wife’s father’s last name. Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? Not at all. When a couple marries, they become one flesh and the husband is the head of his wife. Therefore, the…
