Casting Down Wicked and Vain Imaginations

Casting Down Wicked and Vain Imaginations

IMAGINATION, A conception or imagining of some event; a scheme, plot, or project, especially of evil. “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). “An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief” (Proverbs 6:18). “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in…

Women Struggling with Pornography

Women Struggling with Pornography

For many years, I listened to the Dennis Prager radio show. He spoke often about men’s and women’s struggle. He said whereas men struggle with their sexual nature, women struggle with their emotional nature. I believed it 100 percent! Women absolutely struggle with being led by their emotions and feelings more than most men. This is why women are more easily deceived (1 Timothy 2:14). I never struggled with my sexual nature. I didn’t feed it when I was young….

The Fornication Culture is Toxic, NOT the Purity Culture

The Fornication Culture is Toxic, NOT the Purity Culture

“Purity culture tells women that, through the way they dress, the way they move, and the roles they play in churches and in households, they’re the ones responsible for making sure the men around them won’t ‘stumble’ sexually. As a result, it cultivates an environment in which victim blaming and rape culture flourishes and results in debilitating shame for hundreds of thousands of women.” (Matthias Roberts) These are the feminist talking points to make women feel no responsibility whatsoever for…

Repentance and Victory Over Gluttony!

Repentance and Victory Over Gluttony!

There’s a woman named Jillian on Instagram. Someone asked what right does she have to teach biblical truths since she is obese (or something derogatory like this). Jillian answered by saying that she used to make all kinds of excuses for her obesity. It was NOT her fault at all. But now, she admits it was laziness and gluttony, and it is her fault! She has repented for her sins and now, she’s doing something about it. Through intermittent fasting…

The Dangers of “Christian” Psychology

The Dangers of “Christian” Psychology

Years ago, Ken and I went to a counselor/psychologist in hopes of healing our marriage. He wanted to know all about my childhood and past hurts. In pondering this method and reading a book by Dave Hunt called “Beyond Seduction: A Return to Biblical Christianity,” I can now see why most psychologists and counselors don’t help. Instead of addressing sin in the couple’s lives, they want to find the source of the sin and deal with that instead. Dave Hunt…

God Used to Be Taught in the Public Schools

God Used to Be Taught in the Public Schools

In 1958 (the year I was born), my grandpa bought a piece of land in the forests of Wisconsin on Lake Michigan. He built a cabin on the land where we spent our summers with all of our relatives. These are my favorite childhood memories! We had no TV or Internet, so we talked, played, swam, hiked, and just had fun together. About 38 years ago (the year my oldest daughter was born), my dad bought the cabin next door…

We Must Stop Being Legalistic

We Must Stop Being Legalistic

On my Instagram stories last week, I had a question and answer time. I let women ask me anything. One woman asked me about post-partum depression. I answered that I believe a lot of it is due to lack of sleep. This is why we sleep trained our children as young babies. We used the cry-it-out method. Some women scolded me. They also scolded me for other things I said were okay, such as circumcising one’s son, drinking a little…

Handling Our Emotions in a Godly Way

Handling Our Emotions in a Godly Way

A few days ago, I shared a post on my Facebook page that was written by a group called “The Gentle Mamma.” It was titled, “Hold Your Sons.” In it was written, “Put your hand over their hearts and send them the purest love in existence.” Only God’s love is pure. Pure love is spelled out in 1 Corinthians 13. Most of us fall short on a daily basis of anything close to pure love. “Tell them their emotions matter.”…

Why Do Women Tend to Vote Democrat?

Why Do Women Tend to Vote Democrat?

A woman who goes by the name Pardes Seleh on Twitter asked the question, “Why do women tend to vote Democrat?” Here are some of the responses she received: “Women are naturally more ‘nurturing,’ so I think the idea of the state as a giver and protector is more appealing to them. Notice that women who are married tend to be more conservative — their caring instincts are redirected toward their family as opposed to ‘society.’” “Women are socialists by…

The Social Justice Movement Causes Depression

The Social Justice Movement Causes Depression

Many female preachers and women have jumped on the Social Justice Movement bandwagon. But is this God’s will for women, and is it what we are called to do? No. In fact, in an article from Evie Magazine, they have found that Over 50% of Liberal, White Women Under 30 Have a Mental Health Issue. All women are taught in high schools and college is that they are victims, oppressed by the Patriarchy. They need to fight this injustice. You’ve…
