Some women didn’t like Debi Pearl’s book “Created to Be His Help Meet” because they claimed she gossiped. She told the story of a fat, ugly woman in her book. Her point was that men were still attracted to her because of her smile and joy. Was this gossip? I tell things about what I see other women do and then use them as an example of what we are to do or not to do. Is this gossip? I…
Written By Brian Sauvé Imagine the fruit that could have been born in Christian households, churches, and communities if instead of lionizing functional lady pastors producing lady Bible studies, we had obeyed Titus 2? What would that have looked like? Well, instead of empowering women theologians to serve as quasi-elders, making it seem as if women needed women teachers to learn their systematic and biblical theology rather than the office God appointed for that function (male elders and husbands), we…
“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” (1 John 5:19) We must remind ourselves that this is not our home. We are pilgrims and strangers passing through. We must keep our eyes on things above. Our hope is in Christ alone. It’s easy to get comfortable here and always expect peace and happiness. We live in the richest nation that has ever existed. All of our needs and more are met daily….
Written By Joseph Spurgeon Let me speak plainly to the mothers. You labor daily, caring for your children, supporting your husband, managing the home. These are good and noble tasks. Yet I know the weariness that can settle in. The frustration. The sense that your efforts go unseen or unappreciated. You may feel as though your husband doesn’t notice, or that your children repay your sacrifices with ingratitude. A few years ago, The Huffington Post published an article titled, “If…
“Hello! May I ask two questions if that’s alright with you? I’ve read some stuff on the internet about you, and I just would love to know where your heart is on such matters and just hear the truth! 1) Do you really think that a Christian single lady with no husband in sight is sinning if she’s working in a noble job such as a nurse, teacher, or any other field in that area? (I go to a very…

Written By Lindsay Harold on Facebook Women don’t need “women’s Bible study.” They need Bible study, just like all believers do. Women need doctrine. Women need exhortation. Women need correction. They need these things from the qualified male elders of their church, not emotional fluff marketed to women and taught by another woman. Women are not a special and different kind of Christian than men. They don’t need their own parallel church just for women. There’s no different set of…
There’s something about women that needs to be addressed. I’ve noticed that women are far more likely to jump on a new “movement” than men are. I’ve done this, so I write from experience. These then become their strong convictions that they want to force upon others, especially their husbands. They want to be the leader in their families. Now, these convictions aren’t called sin in the Bible, but they try to use the Bible to support their convictions. I…
There’s nothing that seems to cause so much division among Christians as the topic of Halloween. I have even deleted old posts about it because of the division it caused. I shared this on Facebook today. As always, it caused a TON of division. In response to all of the division in the comment section, I wrote the following to help clear things up for women: “See, I used to be just as strong and adamant as many of you…
“Anti-suffragists believed that women should reform society from within the home and that restricting the right to vote kept men manly and women ladylike. They also believed that women were already busy with their homes and families, and that suffrage would add to their duties in adverse ways.” This is from a poster that was created by women who vehemently opposed women suffrage shown above. (My comments are in parenthesis.) “The history of all states where women have the vote…
