Many women disagreed with me on my post about Popular Female Influencers Divorcing. I knew they would. It’s not popular to ever question a woman who is divorcing her husband even when she has “biblical” reasons. I had my reasons for doing so. A woman in the chat room who was a young and popular blogger shared the following. She explains my reasons perfectly. “When women leave their posts (their calling as wife and mother) and pursue building something else…
Written By Pastor Joel Webbon, Right Response Ministries Let me to begin by saying this: “ALL of Scripture has relevant application for ALL of life.” That being said, allow me to flesh out that statement a bit: 1 Peter 3:1-6 and 1 Timothy 2:9-15 are two biblical texts that explicitly speak to women. So a woman could certainly exposit these texts and apply them accordingly. This, of course, assumes that the audience being taught does not have men present (“older…
Written by a very good friend of mine, Carol Hopson It’s that time of year again when we all are facing Christmas and all that we have to do during this busy season. Or maybe we’re consumed with fear, discouragement, loneliness, or anxiety because of all we hear in the news. It seems that we can quickly be pressed into the world’s mold without even realizing it. Romans 12:2 warns us, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be…
There’s an article called “Artist Highlights Moments That Make Single Life Blissful.” The artist is “living her best life (along with her pup!) and loving every moment of living alone.” Living alone means you can shed your hair and not worry about the mess. It mean binging. “Living with someone makes it hard just to let go and eat as much as we want. You want to keep up appearances and make yourself look a little more put together than…
Last week, I responded to a viral post concerning Anna Duggar. I took each point the author made and tried to explain how what she wrote was false, or it was true and she was trying to make it seem like a bad thing. After pondering this, I came to this conclusion: What I have noticed is that some women who have suffered through physical or sexual abuse in their childhood or marriage, tend to project their experience onto everyone…
In 1 Timothy 2:11-15, we are given two reasons why women are commanded to not teach nor be in authority over men in the churches. The first reason is that Adam was created first. He was in authority over Eve. Eve was created to be his help meet. Men are to be in authority over women. I know this is highly offensive to many, but I don’t care. None of God’s order or ways are offensive to me. I understand…
One of our beloved cats died yesterday. Rascal was almost eleven years old. We bought him along with a female cat named “Baby” so he could have a friend. We had them both indoors for seven years but due to family having allergies to cats, we had to lock them in our garage. We soon decided that they needed freedom, so during the day, I opened the garage door just enough for them to scoot under it to get out….
King Jehoshaphat was a benevolent king. Oh, don’t you love benevolent leaders! Life is so much better when leaders care about their citizens and do what is best for them. Any way, back to the story. “A great multitude” was coming up against Jehoshaphat and his people. “And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.” Did you see how he handled his fear against his enemies, women? He went immediately to…
Written By Michael Pearl at No Greater Joy Dear Mr. and Mrs. Pearl, First of all, praise God for Created to Be His Help Meet! A woman at my church recommended this book to me. I started reading it and it has changed my life and my marriage! I told a few other women about it and they are reading as well, and their marriages are much better. Thank You. Thank God. Recently, I have gone back to work full-time…
Many people lack discernment. Even many Christians lack this important quality. What is discernment? Here’s the 1828 Webster Dictionary’s definition: “DISCERNMENT, noun The act of discerning; also, the power or faculty of the mind, by which it distinguishes one thing from another, as truth from falsehood, virtue from vice; acuteness of judgment; power of perceiving differences of things or ideas, and their relations and tendencies. The errors of youth often proceed from the want of discernment.” I saw this in…
