“And that ye study to be quiet…” (1 Thessalonians 4:11). This verse has convicted me along with the verse about having a meek and quiet spirit which God wants us to adorn ourselves with. I have been pondering these verses a lot recently with all of the controversy swirling around social media. Many young women seem to have no problem calling out and going after pastors (men) on social media. Some respond with cruel accusations. It’s an ugly sight to…
Motherhood is a woman’s highest calling. Yes, we are called to glorify the Lord. What does this mean? It means we are to obey the Lord. What does the Lord call women to do? What is their highest purpose in life? From the beginning, God said it wasn’t good for man to be alone, so He created a help meet (helper suitable) for him (Genesis 2:18). Then, He commanded they be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). The woman’s curse from…
Like many Christians, I was raised in a lukewarm Christian home. My dad read us Bible stories from some Bible story books once in awhile. I never saw my parents reading their Bibles nor did they ever read it to us. They didn’t talk about the Lord often. They took us faithfully to a lukewarm church. Then I attended a lukewarm Christian college. The OT professor taught us from a book he had written, and he didn’t believe in the…
A person I once respected and shared some of her posts has turned against me. Several months ago, she told me how much she appreciated my teaching but something caused her to come after me. And true to her pattern when she decides to go after someone, she goes hard. I tried to dialogue with her but her laundry list kept growing. Yes, we disciplined our children, and yes, I love the Pearls. From what I understand, her primary complaint…
My conviction that women shouldn’t be teaching women doctrines other than the doctrine of biblical womanhood, as commanded in Titus 2:3-5, has given me a lot of criticism from many places. I am even being called dangerous, legalistic, ungodly, and a false teacher. Women’s Bible studies are the pathway that has led to many female preachers/pastors, women speaking in the churches, and lukewarm churches. If women can preach/teach Scripture in a church, how is this any different than the men…
“The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things” (Titus 2:3). Many women these days will use the phrase in this verse “good things” to mean that they are able to teach any doctrines in God’s Word to other women. Is this what is meant? I searched the old commentaries to see what they had to say about it. “Teachers of good things.–Or, teachers of…
Written By Eric Conn One reason Christianity attracts more women than men is because the church today emphasizes a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus (often in erotic overtones), over against a world-transforming, culture-making mission of dominion. Consider these lyrics, which have been sung in corporate worship by many a protestant church: “Your love is extravagant Your friendship, it is intimate I feel like moving to the rhythm of Your grace Your fragrance is intoxicating in our secret place Your love…
Written By Wesley Norris I’m old enough to remember when “Christian” psychology was permeating the Church and being promoted all over Christian radio and bookstores across America. Christians were eating this stuff up like it was the best thing that’s happened to Christianity. I’m thankful that dangerous period of time is over bu I’ve seen a few people promoting it again on social media. Christians should know that psychotherapy does not come from God. In fact, this field of fake…
Pastor Voddie Baucham preached a powerful sermon about mental disease called “Nebuchadnezzar Loses His Mind.” I encourage you all to listen to it! I took notes and will share them with you. Drugs just mask the way you feel. There are seven things you must consider about mental illness. You’re a physical and spiritual being. You live in a fallen world. You’re going to have bad days. You’re going to feel badly. Stuff is not going to work as well…
Written By the Bible Bashed Podcast on Twitter The MacArthur Witch-Hunt: This situation is an example of what happens when two sides have so many unshared presuppositions that communication becomes absolutely impossible. For the sake of those watching, I will outline some of the most significant ones: 1) What does “abuse” mean? This is a word that is being used in multiple ways throughout this discussion. 2) Is “abuse” a legitimate grounds for divorce? 3) Is “abuse” a legitimate grounds…
