Eric Conn is a wise man. I share many of his tweets on my social media sites. Recently, he shared this one. Joseph Spurgeon responded to this tweet by writing the following: I agree with Mr. Conn, but I want to address one of the responses to his post. Someone argued that until we get solutions to the problems that men face in buying a house, dealing with courts, and getting better economic status, then how can we expect men…
Many years ago, I read Francine Rivers’ book “Redeeming Love” and I loved it! I read it years later and didn’t like it at all. I have grown in the wisdom and the knowledge of the Lord and now have far better discernment than when I was younger. I felt it was far too sexually provocative. The Bible is not. We are to dwell on the lovely and the good. We are not to be entertained by watching others simulating…
“Marriage and motherhood are not a woman’s highest calling. The NT explicitly tells us in 1 Corinthians 7 that only those who burn with lust need to marry so as to avoid sexual temptation. Getting married is a kind of gift to glorify God and according to Paul, it’s but ONE kind of gift.” (Ariel Gonzalez Bovat on Instagram). In the beginning, God created Adam. God said it was NOT good for man to be alone, so He created Eve…
Many young women write to me and tell me that they no longer want the college and career route. They now want to be wives, mothers, and homemakers. Unfortunately, many of these women have parents who want them to finish college and get a career before marriage and child bearing. These parents have fallen for the feminist Kool-Aid and are pushing their daughters into the feminist agenda. It’s heartbreaking! One young man wrote this on my Instagram: “I was dating…
Should women attend seminary? I don’t believe so. Seminaries’ purpose is to teach men to be pastors. Women are forbidden from being pastors. This is what Master’s Seminary states as its purpose: “The Master’s Seminary trains men for pastoral ministry–to preach the Word of God, reach the world for Christ, and teach others to do the same.” I checked out the faculty. At the top, it read, “A United Faculty of Pastor-Theologians.” All of the faculty were men. Our church…
The definition of marriage has been incredibly watered down in our culture. Many believe they don’t need a piece of paper. They can live together, and this is okay. Many young “Christians” believe this to be true. Some believe if you’re having sex and even having children, you’re married. So what exactly is marriage? “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave…
One woman shared the pain she was in because her husband was having an affair. She’s understandably devastated. Another woman responded to her. She had an adulterous husband who had left her for ten years. This was how she responded to the suffering woman: “I have been where you are and it is devastating. My husband and I are back together after ten years of him being away from God. It’s a traumatic thing to go through but also a…
If you don’t read Doug Wilson, you are missing out. I follow him on Instagram. He wrote an excellent post called A Matter of Rank. I am going to share the words on the slides he shared on Instagram. Go to the post for his entire thoughts about this. “The desire that a woman has to usurp the rule of her husband is a desire that goes back to the third chapter of Genesis. This is the source of the…
Women are actually freezing their eggs so they don’t have to worry about not being able to have children later in life. They can put off childbearing while they pursue their careers because, after all, careers are far superior to being home while being a wife and mother. This is at least what women have been told all throughout their childhood through Hollywood, schools, parents, and sadly, even churches. With modern technology, women don’t have to worry about the ticking…
Years ago, Ken and I mentored young couples who wanted to marry. This was at a large church near us. The head of this pre-marital ministry once told us that he had been doing this for over 30 years. When he began, the vast majority of couples were not fornicating nor living together. Now, the vast majority are, even though they have all grown up in this church. What happened??? (This same church forbid me from teaching women to submit…
