A person I once respected and shared some of her posts has turned against me. Several months ago, she told me how much she appreciated my teaching but something caused her to come after me. And true to her pattern when she decides to go after someone, she goes hard. I tried to dialogue with her but her laundry list kept growing. Yes, we disciplined our children, and yes, I love the Pearls. From what I understand, her primary complaint…
My conviction that women shouldn’t be teaching women doctrines other than the doctrine of biblical womanhood, as commanded in Titus 2:3-5, has given me a lot of criticism from many places. I am even being called dangerous, legalistic, ungodly, and a false teacher. Women’s Bible studies are the pathway that has led to many female preachers/pastors, women speaking in the churches, and lukewarm churches. If women can preach/teach Scripture in a church, how is this any different than the men…
“The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things” (Titus 2:3). Many women these days will use the phrase in this verse “good things” to mean that they are able to teach any doctrines in God’s Word to other women. Is this what is meant? I searched the old commentaries to see what they had to say about it. “Teachers of good things.–Or, teachers of…
Written By Eric Conn One reason Christianity attracts more women than men is because the church today emphasizes a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus (often in erotic overtones), over against a world-transforming, culture-making mission of dominion. Consider these lyrics, which have been sung in corporate worship by many a protestant church: “Your love is extravagant Your friendship, it is intimate I feel like moving to the rhythm of Your grace Your fragrance is intoxicating in our secret place Your love…
Written By Wesley Norris I’m old enough to remember when “Christian” psychology was permeating the Church and being promoted all over Christian radio and bookstores across America. Christians were eating this stuff up like it was the best thing that’s happened to Christianity. I’m thankful that dangerous period of time is over bu I’ve seen a few people promoting it again on social media. Christians should know that psychotherapy does not come from God. In fact, this field of fake…
Pastor Voddie Baucham preached a powerful sermon about mental disease called “Nebuchadnezzar Loses His Mind.” I encourage you all to listen to it! I took notes and will share them with you. Drugs just mask the way you feel. There are seven things you must consider about mental illness. You’re a physical and spiritual being. You live in a fallen world. You’re going to have bad days. You’re going to feel badly. Stuff is not going to work as well…
Written By the Bible Bashed Podcast on Twitter The MacArthur Witch-Hunt: This situation is an example of what happens when two sides have so many unshared presuppositions that communication becomes absolutely impossible. For the sake of those watching, I will outline some of the most significant ones: 1) What does “abuse” mean? This is a word that is being used in multiple ways throughout this discussion. 2) Is “abuse” a legitimate grounds for divorce? 3) Is “abuse” a legitimate grounds…
Written By Larry Alex Taunton on Twitter SEX: FROM FEMININE TO FRIDA Now that I’ve got your attention, let me tell you a story from history. Romans 1:18-32 says there is a pattern to sexual degeneracy, and a society that rejects God will inevitably follow it. It spirals downward in three stages: 1. Worship of nature 2. Homosexuality 3. A debased mind According to the Apostle Paul’s argument–you can dismiss it if you wish–this is a kind of blueprint for…
We are told that Eve was deceived, but Adam was not. This is why women are forbidden from teaching in the churches and having authority over men. “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” (1 Timothy 2:12-14) False teachers will tell you that just because Eve…
In researching for my last post about courtship and dating, one article from the New York Post had this to say about makeup: “‘The cosmetics industry exploded in the 1920s,’ Weigel writes. ‘Previously, only prostitutes and actresses ‘painted.’ Victorians had viewed ‘natural’ outer beauty as a sign of clean living. But around 1900, more and more women were starting to apply cosmetics. By 1912, the Baltimore Sun reported that even respectable society women ‘are seen on our streets and fashionable…
