In September of 1903, an article in The Atlantic called Why Women Do Not Wish the Suffrage, the author explains why women didn’t want to vote (only 4 percent wanted to vote in a poll taken). They knew their highest calling was in the home and raising the next generation. They wanted their entire focus to be upon this and not concerned with things that they weren’t involved with, like fighting wars, being policemen, or going out and making a…
Here is an excellent post written by a man named Dominic Tennant. His blog is called “In the Habit of Goring: Where a Recovering Ex-Atheist Skewers Things With A Sharp Two-Edged Sword.” He has a VERY interesting take on women as businesswomen or women rulers. Aside from Deborah, this is the recurring response to the argument against female rulers. To know what is appropriate for women in business, we need to first go back to what is appropriate for women…
Last summer, a popular female preacher asked if we could have a live debate online. Her views are pretty much the opposite of mine. Just the fact that she is a female preacher tells me a lot about her. I declined. I am not gifted as a public speaker, and debating her isn’t something that I wanted to do. Many write me and tell me how upset they are with me because I don’t want to argue my position with…
On a church sign in front of the Knoxville Baptist Church reads a sign, “Remember, Satan was the first one to demand equal rights.” Satan wanted to be like God, and this desire did nothing but wreak havoc on mankind. His goal is to kill, steal, and destroy. He wasn’t content with the role God created for him and wanted more. Fighting for equality with men is never God’s intention for us. There’s not one Bible verse that tells women…
Written By Ken, my husband With Lori’s posts going viral again and USA Today and others wanting interviews, it gives me pause to consider what this is all about. Certainly I am Lori’s biggest fan and love her heart for trying to fulfill God’s admonition for the older Christian women to teach the young Christian women. What is always a concern is the big pushback she gets from society, and even fellow Christians who don’t seem to get that what…
Several years ago, I wrote up a flow chart asking if mothers should have careers. I decided to repost it on December fourth. I have been asked for a statement about this post from numerous “news” outlets, magazines, and sites. My statement has been something like this: “I am an older woman teaching Christian women biblical womanhood as according to Titus 2:3-5 in the Bible. One of the things God commands older women to teach young women is to be…
What would happen if many mothers decided that they wanted to go home and be the ones raising their own children? An anonymous man wrote a good comment on my post called Going Against the Titus Two Mandate on why some women don’t want to go home full time and what would happen if many of them did decide to go home full time. (Yes, I understand that some mothers have no choice but to work outside of the home…
Can you point out the lies this woman is believing? “Our purpose is to love God and lead others to him. My mother has worked hard her whole life along with my dad. They are the most godly people I know, and seeing my mother work and my dad encourage her in her career has benefited me much more than her staying home ever would. It has taught me to work hard and strive for the passions God has given…
George W. Bush said the biggest impression that his father left on his life is that his father loved his mother fiercely and was deeply dedicated to her. My youngest son wrote to my husband just a few weeks ago how thankful he was and how much it impacted him to see how much Ken loved me through all of my years of pain and suffering. My son wants to love his wife in the same way. Children growing up…
Why do women get so angry when I teach that mothers need to be home with their precious children full time? You would think I am teaching something evil by their reactions towards me! It’s not easy to teach in this feminized culture. I love it, however, when I read comments from my posts from wise women that understand the importance of mothers at home and being keepers at home as God commands. Here are two that have stood out…
