Someone from Canon Press, Doug Wilson’s organization, asked me to review Doug’s new book, Keep Your Kids. I was sent an Advanced Reader’s Copy and read it right away. Here is my review of this book! When you want to learn how to raise godly children, find someone who has raised godly children. Doug Wilson has raised godly children and is worthy of learning from. In reading his new book “Keep Your Kids,” some things were deeply impressed upon and…
Recently, my husband asked me to look for our car’s title. In the process, I found a file full of letters and cards my children had written to me and many other treasures. I shared one of these on social media and some asked me to make a post out of it, so this is it! May you be convicted and encouraged. It’s so easy to forget to do right. This is why we must be reminded often. I don’t…
There are many women who claim the name of Jesus Christ who blaspheme His Word. The women who aren’t sober and sober-minded blaspheme His Word. They drink too much and get tipsy or even drunk. They allow their emotions and feelings to dictate their behavior rather than the Word of God. They don’t spend time in His Word, listening to godly preachers (men), nor attend a biblical church faithfully so they aren’t growing in the wisdom and the knowledge of…
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 1 John 3:4 We raised four well behaved children. Someone recently told me I brag about myself too much. Please, read my first book, “The Power of the Transformed Wife” if you believe this to be true. I share all of my weaknesses and sins in this book. Then, I share what Christ and His Spirit have done in my life to transform me, as He…
According to Wikipedia: “Blanket training, also known as blanket time, is a method adapted from the methods encouraged in To Train Up a Child, published in 1994 and written by Christian fundamentalists Michael and Debi Pearl. To Train Up a Child promotes several harsh parenting techniques, with a focus on child obedience, which have been linked to multiple child deaths.” Before beginning, I want to tell you that people took the Pearls to a secular court to prove their book…
God has a lot to say about us being set apart and holy from this world. Here are some verses about this. How are we to be in the world but not of it? He wants us to walk in obedience to Him and glorify Him in all that we do. This seems like far too much to ask of us, doesn’t it? I’m going to share some things that I have made a habit of doing in order to…
This Catholic man, Harrison Butker, gave the commencement speech at a Catholic College. He encouraged the graduating women to be wives, mothers, and homemakers. He received a loud, thunderous applause to this! Why can’t all Christian colleges encourage the young women in this way? Why can’t all Christian pastors preach this? Why aren’t all godly, older women teaching this to the younger women? Why??? “For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all…
Written By Laura Johnson “False teaching is easily identified by the fact that it is willingly received by all, and is to everyone’s liking.” John Calvin We live in a culture that is constantly testing and blurring the lines of Scripture. Because of this, it is hard to see the truth hidden behind cultural lies or half-truths. We are quick to justify our actions and claim Legalism or Christian Liberty. However, “Obedience isn’t legalism” (CS Lewis) and Christian Liberty is…
Ellie Gonsalves, a model and actress, gave 178 reasons why she chooses to remain childfree to her over a million followers on Instagram. (I won’t link to her since she’s extremely immodest.) She’s insightful about all of the hard parts about bearing and raising children. It’s far from easy! None of God’s ways are easy, but they are good. Here is part of her list: 1. They are YOUR responsibility until the day you die 2. Post partum hair loss…
Written By Reverend Brian Abshire in SALT Magazine from October 2009 The time to start teaching your children to worship is when they are babies. Children are NEVER too young to learn but teaching them is often difficult, because we are often not willing to do what is necessary. Look, we all realize that babies make “happy noises” and no one in my experience has ever been frustrated with a baby cooing during a church service. It is the child…
