A year ago, I began an anti-inflammatory diet to heal my battered gut. I have suffered from a bad gut since I was 30 years old. I was diagnosed with multiple parasites and was put on many, toxic drugs. I’ve had a bad gut since then, and Covid made it worse. I couldn’t digest food, not even a yam. A friend of mine has a daughter who was 12 at the time. She was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. She had…
Written By the Puritan Richard Baxter (1615 – 1691) from his book “The Godly Home.” These are Richard Baxter’s instructions to wives. They are convicting and challenging! Direction 1 : Be especially loving to your husbands. Direction 2: Live in a voluntary subjection and obedience to them. It is God who appointed them your heads. Do not deceive yourselves by giving the bare titles of government to your husbands when you must have your will in all things, for this…
This post was written by a 23 year old man whose parents taught him to flee pornography. You can find him on X as James Anderson White. My parents’ vigilance prevented me from almost any exposure to pornography— ever. Here’s what they did plus what l would recommend in addition. 1. Understand the problem. You cannot be vigilant about the porn issue until you understand its severity, maliciousness, and consequences. Do the research. Average age of exposure when I was…
Written By Celeste Shally A few days ago Mike’s Grandma Trudy died at the age of 97 (nearly 98). I feel compelled to share with you about this woman I’ve known and loved for 35 years. Grandma Trudy was a shining example of a woman devoted to loving and serving her family. Her claim to fame was her amazing cooking. In fact, for one of her milestone birthdays we created a cookbook of all her amazing recipes entitled “Trudy’s Treasures”….
This is from a sermon preached by Gabriel Hughes on biblical womanhood. Now, my friends it may not look like I belong there, but I have actually attended many women’s conferences. My wife has been to several of these women’s conferences, and I can tell you from experience that what we’re reading here in Titus 2 verses 3 through 5 to older women and younger women, this is seldom taught in any of these women’s conferences. They might talk about…
I love a lot of things about It’s a Wonderful Life. But one small aspect that never would be included had it been made today, is that in the alternative timeline part of the story, Mary is a spinster working woman. And it’s presented as a very sad and lonely thing. It adds substantially to the dystopian wild nature of that scene, as it taps into a deep fear women have of being alone, as well as a man losing…
This is from Ellicot’s Commentary on 1 Timothy 2:12: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor 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 sphere of action and influence–the quiet of their own homes. St. Paul caught well the spirit of his Master here. He raised once and for ever the women of…
A woman shared this privately with me on Instagram last week. I asked her if I could share it because it’s so powerful. She said, “Yes!” Here it is: “I am a divorced 30 year old woman. I was a terrible wife, and my husband was physically abusive but I was also emotionally abusive to him. We both did wrong, and I regret the divorce. I moved in with my 90 year old grandma after our separation, and I continue…
This was written by Stacee Kameya on Facebook in response to the above post. A lot of these women in the comment section don’t seem to understand men. Men are not trying to come home and annoy their wives by throwing their socks on the ground and their clothes. They just worked a long hard day, laboring and using their bodies all day. They’re sweaty, they smell, and they are exhausted. The only thing they’re thinking about is getting out…
Written By Jonathan Hollerman on Twitter What does the Church teach about Womanhood and Marriage? Egalitarian – “Equality” of sexes, marriage is mutual submission, no hierarchy Complementarian – Pietistic headship and submission, rejects male “authority” Biblical Patriarchy – “Father Rule” Historical and biblical view on gender roles Since Christians have increasingly rejected Biblical Patriarchy over the last 100 years and brought secular philosophy of love and marriage into the church, we’ve seen the utter destruction of the Christian family. Just…
