Yes, There was an Authority Structure Before the Fall

Yes, There was an Authority Structure Before the Fall

Comments 2 comments

Many try to argue that the authority structure between men and women only happened after the Fall but was completely done away with in Christ. Both assumptions are completely false. In Wayne Grudem’s book Systematic Theology, he clearly explains the authority structure before the Fall. I will summarized them. Adam was created first, then Eve. The reasons for women being silent in the church even goes back to this fact in 1 Timothy 2:13. Eve was created as Adam’s help…

Look at the Big Picture, Women

Look at the Big Picture, Women

Comments 6 comments

Women tend to look at what worked for them rather than examining the big picture. This is why I am not a fan of the 19th amendment. I will give you a few examples. College. Whenever I speak against college, undoubtedly there will be women who will tell me they met their husbands at college and have a back-up plan in case something happened to their husbands. This is great BUT look at the big picture! College has wreaked havoc…

The Firestorm Over Sleep Training One’s Baby

The Firestorm Over Sleep Training One’s Baby

Comments 6 comments

Years ago when my children were teenagers, I read through these journals of a mother who had nine children. I loved learning from her! She was a godly woman who loved her husband and children. However, I came to the part where she wrote about sleeping with her children (like four would be in their bed at one time) and never sleep-training them. She felt that those who didn’t have a family bed but did sleep train their children were…

The Darkness of Sin Creeping Over the Earth

The Darkness of Sin Creeping Over the Earth

Comments 6 comments

Written By Nancy Campbell in her Magazine Above Rubies Deception has taken hold of our culture in much greater ways. Things that were abhorrent in the secular word are now often accepted in the Christian world. The gross darkness of sin is creeping over the earth. Now is the time to shine brighter than ever, to speak the truth more boldly, to rise up and reveal the glory of God more fully. In this day when most mothers continue to…

Teaching Daughters to Be Feminists or Godly Women

Teaching Daughters to Be Feminists or Godly Women

Comments 4 comments

An Instagram page called “Raising Teens Today” shared a quote by Komal Shahid: “Make your daughter so capable that you don’t have to worry about who will marry her. Instead of saving money for her wedding day, spend it well on her education. Instead of preparing her for marriage, prepare her for herself. Teach her self-love and confidence.” It had almost 13,000 likes. “Make your daughter so capable that you don’t have to worry about who will marry her.” God…

The Curse of Emotional Needs

The Curse of Emotional Needs

Comments 9 comments

Women believe their husbands should meet their emotional needs, whatever that means. Here’s what Psychology Today said about this: “The idea of ’emotional needs’ is one of the more harmful notions of pop psychology. The term came into popular discourse in the 1980s, as part of what is known as the culture of self-obsession, which has grown steadily, as scores on measures of narcissism indicate.” I am not a fan of psychology, but I agree with this completely. I tried…

Why Men Leave Their Wives After Many Years

Why Men Leave Their Wives After Many Years

Comments 11 comments

Dr. KN Jacob made a video about Seven Reasons Why Men Leave Their Wives After Many Years Together. It was excellent! I am going to summarize his points and add some of my own. I have seen marriages end after many, many years of being together. It harms the adult children just as much as it would have if the parents divorced earlier. Divorce has long-term consequences to the next generations. Women, do all you can to keep your marriages…

Should Women Be Police Officers?

Should Women Be Police Officers?

Comments 17 comments

A woman asked John Piper if it was okay for women to become police officers. He answered her here. I will give a few comments from his article and then respond. “And here’s my conviction: to the degree that a woman’s influence over a man – guidance of man, leadership of man – is personal and directive, it will generally offend a man’s good, God-given sense of responsibility and leadership, and thus controvert God’s created order. To an extent, a…

Be a Warrior and Fight For Your Children

This article was written by Debi Pearl in her magazine No Greater Joy. Many years ago Alexander Scourby made an audio recording of the entire King James Bible and it remains the standard to this day. He has great diction and a storytelling tone that make his recording so captivating. It is like listening to a really good novel. In 2020 I decided to read the Bible through while listening to Scourby. I used his recording on YouTube because it…

Einkorn Sourdough Pancakes

Comments 9 comments

For many years now, I have been making my own Sourdough Einkorn Bread. I have had to throw out a lot of the starter since I didn’t know what to do with it, but now I know! I found a pancake recipe with the starter, changed up the ingredients to make it healthy, and these are the best pancakes you will ever taste! When my grandchildren are here, they eat every single pancake. When it’s only my husband and me,…
