By Charles Spurgeon The apostle John was privileged to look within the gates of heaven, and in describing what he saw, he begins by saying, “I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!” This teaches us that the chief object of contemplation in the heavenly state is “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world.” Nothing else attracted the apostle’s attention so much as the person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by his blood. He…
Yesterday, I received a comment on a post I wrote years ago called A Sex Starved Husband. I thought his comment would make a great post, so I went to the post and began reading the comments from men regarding the lack of sex their wives are giving them. Ken is mentoring a man whose wife hasn’t given him sex for over six months. I wept as I read their heartfelt comments. The main reason men marry is for sex…
If your husband was offered a great job across the country would you be willing to go with him? Chris Christie, the Governor of New Jersey, “maintained that he would have landed a top White House job if only his wife would have let him.” It reminds me of a husband of a friend of mine who was giving a speech and mentioned that he was offered a great job up in San Francisco but his wife told him if…
Men seem to be the brunt of many jokes in our society today. Read this tale that was wildly popular and I am sure all of the women were cheering. He wrote a letter to his wife why he was leaving and divorcing her. She quit her job without telling him two weeks prior and hid from him the reason why. She didn’t notice his new hair cut, the meal he cooked for her, and the new silk boxers he…
“The Bible does not support the idea of a stay-at-home mother; it’s unbiblical. There were no stay-at-home moms in the Bible; that’s laziness. The Proverbs lady can be seen operating a business and earning money. She seeks wool and flax and works willingly. She sees that her merchandise is good, meaning what she produces and sells. That’s why she’s known well at the gates of the city. She also has money to give to the poor. She has money to…
“Were any of your children high strung as kids? Our youngest daughter has been like that since she was born. She’s highly intelligent, perceptive, and fun-loving, but she’s got this extremely finicky, high-strung, dramatic and overly sensitiveness about her that is really a struggle for me to figure out how best to handle. If she spills a tiny bit of water on herself, you’d think it’s the end of the world and she absolutely has to change her clothes or…
We, as parents, are commanded to bring our children up “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). In Deuteronomy 6, we are told to do this with the Word of God concerning our children:“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and…
How are we to submit to the Lord? Is is just with our actions but no heart or true desire? No, we want to submit to the Lord because He is worthy, we love Him deeply, and with our entire hearts. He has given us His Word with so many promises and done so much for us that He deserves our lives to bring glory to Him. What does He ask of us? To submit ourselves to our husband. Once…
No matter how hard feminism has tried to say that men and women are equal (the same) in every way, they never will be able to since they are fighting against God’s created design for them, even secular articles write about this. The Magazine Real Simple wrote an article called The Invisible Workload that Drags Women Down. Home is a woman’s domain. Her heart is at home no matter how hard she tries to be a career woman and feminism…
The majority of you would agree that your husband does things that upset you. I asked the chat room to give some examples of how their husbands upset them by failing to do something over and over again and how they handle it as godly, submissive wives. I used to handle it poorly. If Ken failed to pick up his newspapers after reading them, putting the toilet seat down, or not pick up his clothes, I would nag him about…
