This is from Ellicot’s Commentary on 1 Timothy 2:12: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. The whole purpose of these weighty admonitions of the great founder of the Gentile Churches relegates Christian women to their own legitimate sphere of action and influence–the quiet of their own homes. St. Paul caught well the spirit of his Master here. He raised once and for ever the women of…
A woman shared this privately with me on Instagram last week. I asked her if I could share it because it’s so powerful. She said, “Yes!” Here it is: “I am a divorced 30 year old woman. I was a terrible wife, and my husband was physically abusive but I was also emotionally abusive to him. We both did wrong, and I regret the divorce. I moved in with my 90 year old grandma after our separation, and I continue…
Written By Suzanne Venker Gone are the days when children are home with their mothers, when morning meant moving slowly, when kids played outside in their neighborhoods and were called inside at dusk, when TV viewing was limited, when bedtime was early, and when obesity and mental health issues were rare. That childhood was replaced with daycare, after-school care, fast food, unlimited screen time, latchkey kids, countless extra-curricular activities, no downtime, sleep deprivation, and childhood obesity. The most powerful voices…
Recently, I wrote my thoughts about Allie Beth Stuckey and Candace Owens in my private Facebook group. “God commands women to be keepers at home. Allie Beth and Candace Owens are no different than female preachers. They stand behind pulpits and preach in conferences. Allie even teaches theology, like Calvinism. She’s not biblically qualified to teach this. They travel often and must put in a lot of time and energy for their speeches, writing books, and podcasts. They both have…
This quote is from Strangers and Pilgrims on Earth by Jes. She lives a few hours north of me and is a kind and godly woman. Christ is the secret to a happy home! He is the source of peace and joy, and His ways bring beauty and order into a home. A husband and wife loving each other who welcome children into their lives and raise them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. They attend a…
My grandmother grew up in a generation where most women married, bore children, and guided the home. Most of the food they ate was whole food; the way God created it and cooked from scratch. Many of them had their own gardens. My grandmother did. There were few toxic chemicals in the air back then. The land wasn’t being sprayed with toxic chemicals. The water was pure. Women weren’t on birth control pills so they knew if they had sex,…
As many of you know, I have had a lot of health problems since turning 30 years old. I am 65 years old. God has taught me many wonderful things through these years of trials and suffering. I raised four wonderful children while going through many health struggles. They saw a sick mother who never wavered in her faith of God Almighty and never asked, “Why me?” I was more, “Why not me?” His grace is indeed sufficient. I have…
“The American woman of today is not very different from her mother or grandmother. She is equally attached to the classic feminine values – sexual attractiveness, motherly devotion, and the nurturing role in home and community affairs. She is not a great figure in public life or the professions. And like most men, she is repelled by the slogans of old-fashioned feminism.” This was in “Harpers Magazine” in October of 1962. Women of this time were rejecting feminism of the…
There’s a reason women being “pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen” is now mocked these days. Women instead are praised for being in the workforce. The health of this nation has gone downhill quickly since women left their homes for the workforce and fast food joints popped up everywhere. Here is a great thread that was written By Casey Means on Twitter. Of all the unintended consequences of the feminist movement, perhaps the most generationally damaging was the implicit push…
