From Matthew Henry Commentary See here, What a great affliction it is to a man to have a brawling scolding woman for his wife, who upon every occasion, and often upon no occasion, breaks out into a passion, and chides either him or those about her, is fretful to herself and furious to her children, and, in both, vexatious to her husband. If a man has a wide house, spacious and pompous, this will embitter the comfort of it to…
Since my grandchildren left The Screwtape Letters on my coffee table, I have decided to write a post on all the chapters that seem applicable to what I love to teach, namely anything concerning women. From chapter three, this man that the Devil and his helper are working on has become a believer so they are trying to find ways to make him fall away from the faith, namely, hoping he has shallow roots when any type of hard times…
Voddie Baucham preached a GREAT sermon on Biblical Womanhood that, as far as I could tell, was 100% biblically accurate, so I encourage all of you to listen to it. It’s amazing to hear from a godly man preach these truths that most preachers run from. I am going to summarize a few points that stood out to me, in case you don’t have time to listen. Love is not a random force and it is not sensual as our…
Some women were asking me what they should do with their time because they are lonely and get bored being at home all day long. They also wanted to know if it was okay to go to Women’s Bible Studies. Trey, a man who comments on my blog once in a while, wrote the following comment that is worthy of its own post. Thank you, Trey. First of all, have you asked your husbands if they are pleased with your…
There are famous women preachers/teachers that other women love to share these preachers’ words excitedly and pronounce them good and inspiring. I look at these women’s words and read them over and over again trying to make sense of them. They may sound good but they aren’t biblical. They make up words that aren’t in the Bible and point women to ways that aren’t of God. They “hear” from God, write it down on paper, and act if these words…
Younger women are commanded to be “keepers at home” in Titus 2:5 so they won’t “blaspheme the Word of God.” Many times when I am writing a post such as this one, I will go to biblehub.com and read all of the commentaries of old on the verse that I am studying. I love to learn from these godly, old men who weren’t influenced by feminism and the age in which we live. So I am going to pull out…
Written By Charles Spurgeon “The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord” (Proverbs 16:33). If the disposal of the lot is the Lord’s whose is the arrangement of our whole life? If the simple casting of a lot is guided by him, how much more the events of our entire life–especially when we are told by our blessed Saviour: “The very hairs of your head are all numbered: not a sparrow falleth…
About twelve years ago, I led several groups of women through Created to Be His Help Meet. After this, I began mentoring women one-on-one. I became involved in our large church’s mentoring program and they sent me the women in the most difficult marriage situations. Ken and I then began mentoring couples who were engaged or planning on becoming engaged through the same church. I mentored women by phone, email, and in person. I love mentoring women! One young woman…
You have been given an important role, women, in the health or lack of health of your children and husband. A large part of your ministry to your family should be fixing them nourishing food for their bodies to keep them healthy and free from illness. Please, don’t say you can’t cook or don’t know how. If you can read, you can learn! My sister had malignant melanoma a few years ago. While she was raising children, she didn’t enjoy…
Women can easily be deceived since it is easier for us to be led by our emotions and feelings. (It is good to be aware of this, women.) This is why women are not to teach nor be in authority over men. Then there’s this verse: “For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers (various) lusts,Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of…
