“Let the women learn in silence with all subjection” (1 Timothy 2:11). Many women hate this verse, even Christian women, and more and more churches seem to be ignoring it. Many women don’t want to learn in silence, and they don’t want to be in subjection. They want to be able to speak and preach/teach in the churches or at least listen to the women who do these things. They must think they know better than God. They must certainly…
The other day, Dennis Prager played a clip of this song from 1972. It’s called “Ain’t No Woman Like the One I’ve Got” and sung by the Four Tops. I listened to it when I was in high school and loved it! (Listen to it. You’ll like it, too!) It made me think how many men would absolutely LOVE to have a woman like this one. She doesn’t ask for things, no, not even diamond rings and it doesn’t take…
“I find it absolutely preposterous that God would call women to places of influence and leadership within business and finance and medical practice and public education, but then in the church relegate them to mopping floors and rocking babies and leading the decorating committee. That God would think so little of women as to solely give them pacifying tasks. That He would trust them enough to lead a Fortune 500 company but not lead His flock. You don’t have to…
Jeremy Vuolo wrote praises about his wife, Jinger (formerly Duggar), and remarked how pleasant and sweet she is. Women with these qualities make it easy for their husbands to live with them, and we should all strive to be known as being pleasant. The 1828 Webster Dictionary defines pleasant this way: “Pleasing; agreeable; grateful to the mind or the senses; cheerful.” I asked the women in the chat room what they think of when they think of a pleasant person….
“A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones” (Proverbs 12:4). Whenever I read verses specifically directed towards women, I want to study them. I want to understand them and remember them to either aspire to be like them (the positive traits) or not be like them (the negative traits). We forget so easily, and this is why we need to be in the Word daily. I read the…
“For ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another…that ye increase more and more; And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you” (1 Thessalonians 4:9-11). What wonderful verses for godly keepers at home to memorize and obey! Loving God and loving others are the most important commands in the Bible. If we don’t love others, all of our work and good deeds…
Many believe that parents don’t have much responsibility in the way their children turn out. They cite a few godly parents whose children turned out to be rebellious and then cite a few ungodly parents whose children turned out to live for Jesus. (There are absolutely exceptions, but these don’t negate the responsibility that God has given to parents to do everything in their power with His power flowing through them to raise godly offspring.) Many, when asked what they…
This is a comment that is full of wisdom, left on my post She Would Give Anything to Be Desired By Her Husband. There is a lie that has gone out into the world, from the very depths of hell. It tells women that to be chaste whilst single is stifling, but sex in marriage is boring. It fits in neatly with the larger feminist message that for a woman to be under the authority of her own husband is…
There’s a beautiful 28 year old woman who is a full-time career woman but her greatest desire is to come home to someone so she made a video about her thoughts. She has an aching loneliness. She’s never had a long-term relationship but from her video, it sounds like she has sex with guys. She wonders why she can’t attract a man for long-term. She’s into a bikini model challenge to try to look better thinking this will attract a…
Audrey Broggi is fantastic! This post was written by her on her Facebook page. I pulled out an old dusty journal. I had started it in March of my junior year in college and it carried me through many emotions of that spring: my relationship with my parents, my classes, friends, a young man, my job, the following summer, and the beginning of my senior year in college when Carl began to pursue me and my whole world changed. And,…
