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…
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…
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.”…
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…
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…
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…
