My mother-in-law has never preached behind a pulpit, but she’s consistently sharing the Gospel with others. She’s never preached to a group in a church service nor has she preached on a street corner or anywhere else. She is friendly to the people in the stores she shops in. She invites neighbors into her home and shares the Gospel with them. She makes friends with the children in her neighborhood, and teaches them to make things. She loves sharing the…
There’s a short clip where Doug Wilson and George Gilder discuss what pornography has done to men: “Pornography is an attack on male sexuality. Men in the course of their lives see a lot of female naked bodies. That’s not a shocking or new thing. In old pornography, you saw naked female bodies. In contemporary pornography, you see male and female bodies. It’s the male bodies that are the shocking novelty for most men. Erect bodies. It’s a very corrosive…
A few days ago, Eric Conn interviewed me for his Hard Man podcast. (I will let you know when it’s posted.) One question he asked me was why I thought I received such vitriol in my comment section, especially on Twitter. (I was SO thankful when Twitter finally gave me the option to no longer allow comments.) He told me had never seen such vile and slanderous comments. I asked the women in the chat room why they thought this…
***Warning: This is NOT a typical post of mine. It’s just for fun! When Calls the Heart is one of the few shows that I watch. It’s the only show I watch on Hallmark, since Hallmark began having homosexual couples in their movies. Two of its executive producers are Christians, and it’s an appropriate show for children, most of the time. This is just a TV show, but I thought I would share my thoughts about the past season any…
Many women teach the exceptions to biblical womanhood rather than the truth. It’s far easier to teach the exceptions rather than the truth. Rather than teaching women that they are to be quiet in the churches, learn in silence with all subjection, and that they are not to teach men nor be in authority over them, they teach the exceptions in order to teach the opposite of truth. They’ll teach that Phoebe and Priscilla were leaders in a church, and…
The book of 1 John ends with this verse: “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” We read this and think that we don’t have idols. We no longer are like those cultures in the past who made idols and worshipped them. But guess what? We are like them. We just have different idols. Anything we put before God, we are idolizing and essentially saying that we don’t trust God. Putting idols in our lives steals our joy. It’s easy to…
Years ago, I attended a conference on Daniel taught by Beth Moore at a local church. It was fantastic theatrics, and she spoke about visions she saw. I was not impressed at all and thought how inferior the many women in the audience must be feeling, since they don’t have these awesome visions from God like she does. In the Old Testament, God gave visions to the Prophets. In the New Testament, He gave visions to the Apostles, but even…
Just as I will never support anything having to do with feminism, I will never support anything to do with environmentalism. Does this mean I don’t care about the environment? No, I do care, but there’s not much I can do on a global level. We must remind ourselves to accept the things we cannot change. This is one of them. We can’t stop women from taking birth control pills that are contaminating the waterways with their urine. We can’t…
? Written by @bernadinebluntly on Instagram ? You’ve been lied to. ? The future is not female. Men are not oppressors. The patriarchy is not the ultimate evil. Marriage is not a trap. ? Submission is not abuse. Children are not the death of you. Abortion is not “healthcare.” Doing “whatever you want” is not freedom. Sex is never casual (never). And gender is not fluid. ? Traditional values are not outdated. Progressivism is not progress. Gender roles are not…
Voddie Baucham’s new book “Fault Lines” was being reviewed on Twitter, and I liked what I saw, so I bought it. He began the book by sharing of his upbringing. He was raised by a single mother in a place filled with crime and gangs in Los Angeles. He eventually wound up in Texas and came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Once married and with children, he moved to Africa to explore his roots. Here’s an excerpt that…
