Recently I shared this tweet: “I was raised by nannies and daycares. It sucked. Have this memory of being like three and sitting inside my mom’s closet wrapped in her robe, smelling her smell, missing her so completely because she was gone on a work trip for weeks. Some sad sh+t. Don’t do that to your kids.” The response and comments were overwhelming! I am going to share a few of them since God commands women to be “keepers at…
“The printing press puts into the hands of parents a means of good which they may use to the greatest advantage in the culture of their home-life and in the shaping of the lives of their household. But they must keep a most diligent watch over the pages that they introduce. They should know the character of every book and paper that comes within the doors, and should resolutely exclude everything that would defile. “Then, while they exclude everything whose…
Many are accusing the Duggars of living in a cult. I have a pamphlet that was published by Moody Publishers. It is called “Comparing Christianity with the Cults.” The cults they name are Christian Science, Spiritualism, Jehovah’s Witness, Scientology, Mormonism, Eastern Mystic Religions, Unification Church, Unity, and Wicca. I couldn’t find Gothard being a cult in this pamphlet or meeting the requirements needed to be labeled a cult. There are many families outside of following Gothard who homeschool their children,…
Jill and Jinger Duggar are advancing the persecution of Christians. They were raised by parents who had strong convictions based upon the Bible. They defined modesty by wearing dresses. They defined being sexually pure by not kissing until the wedding day. There’s nothing wrong with having strong personal convictions based upon biblical commands. They absolutely taught their children the Gospel and that true salvation was through faith in Christ alone, but faith without works is dead since our faith is…
Preached By G. Craige Lewis of EX Ministries. It’s the BEST sermon on biblical womanhood I have ever heard. “When the Bible tells the older women to teach, it doesn’t tell them to teach the Word. No, that’s my job. I’m doing that! It’s not biblical for women to gather and have other women teach you the Word. Every time that happens, we lose folks to it. The Bible tells older women exactly what to teach other women! How to…
There’s a family, Katie and Elisha, who have twelve things they have decided to not do as a family. They both come from godly families whose parents were intentional about raising their children in the ways of the Lord. They are very admirable and will probably challenge many of you in the way you raise your children. Some of these things your husband will disagree with. That’s okay. Submit to your husband’s desires. Both parents don’t have smartphones. They are…
This was a series of tweets given by @goinggodward: “Today, I went to pull a student for a session, and as I walked by the auditorium, some kids were leaving, obviously disturbed. I pulled my student from the assembly. It was a co-ed sex education class for eighth graders where actual male and female genitalia were shown on the screen. Some girls were disturbed and embarrassed and got up and walked out. The content wasn’t even suitable for adults. “As…
Recently, I watched a video about Brandon Kirkland called, “From a Life of Sin to a Family Music Ministry.” In it, he shares that he was raised in a Christian home yet rebelled in his youth. What was the catalyst for his rebellion? The first thing he mentioned was secular music and bad company. I was curious to know why other women had rebelled in their youth so I asked those in the chat room and on Instagram. I believe…
“What is the difference between courting and dating,” a woman asked me on my last post. Courting has boundaries and accountability. Dating has no boundaries and no accountability. I decided to research the history of dating in America. “As cultural historians Alan Carlson and Beth Bailey put it in the Mars Hill Audio Report, Wandering Toward the Altar: The Decline of American Courtship, prior to the early 20th century, courtship involved one man and one woman spending intentional time together…
Jinger Duggar said in her interview with People Magazine, “I’ve seen more people honor God and live a very beautiful life who have dated, and sometimes even better than courtship. I could be so consumed with that – with having a chaperone, with not kissing before you’re married, and not holding hands before you’re engaged. All of these things that I had set up for myself that now I kind of laugh at.” I grew up in the dating era….
