The Danger of Adding to Scripture

The Danger of Adding to Scripture

In Revelation 22:18,19, we are given a stern warning about adding or taking anything away from Scripture. Therefore, I try very hard not to do either of these things. I want to teach exactly what God commands that I teach and the way that He commands it. Let’s take the command for women to be “keepers at home” so they don’t blaspheme the word of God in Titus 2:5. Many women want to add onto this command. I don’t and…

Finding It Difficult To Smile in Drudgery

Finding It Difficult To Smile in Drudgery

“The creative mind finds it difficult to smile in the midst of drudgery. The difference between a smile and a gripe is not the circumstance, but the point of view. To the rancher it’s a useless place to raise cattle; to the oil man it’s a treasure trove. To the tired mother, repeating the same chores day after day, struggling to keep peace with the children, aware of her fading youth and her failure to have achieved the self-expression she…

Intact Families are Extinct in Shows Today

Intact Families are Extinct in Shows Today

When was the last time you watched a TV show or movie that had a mother and father who loved each other, had more than one or two children, and the mother was home full time and the father worked hard to provide for his family? The first seasons of “Little House on the Prairie” had this. It was a very popular and well loved show! I loved “When Calls the Heart” on Hallmark up until the last season. This…

The Good Wife is a Good Housekeeper

The Good Wife is a Good Housekeeper

“The good wife is a good housekeeper. The wife who would be happy, and make her home happy and permanently beautiful must work with her hands at the housewifely tasks which the days in turn bring to her. The foundation of wedded happiness is good housekeeping. In other words, good breakfasts, dinners and suppers, a well-kept house, order, system, promptness, punctuality, good cheer – far more than any young lovers – dream does happiness in married life depend upon such…

She Brought Peace and Stability to Their Home

She Brought Peace and Stability to Their Home

Written By Hannah Schrock in No Greater Joy Magazine Growing up, Mama had a system and it worked to bring peace and stability to our large and growing family. Nearly every day when the clock rolled around to 4 pm, Mama would have us all start getting ready for the evening. We each cleaned up our jurisdiction, creating a neat environment so our minds were subconsciously more relaxed. Once things were in order, dinner was started. Mama always had dinner…

They Have Tasted Careers and Are Not So Fond of Them

They Have Tasted Careers and Are Not So Fond of Them

“Many 19-year-old girls, I’ve talked to many of them, believe that their career it going to be the most important thing in their life. Very few 30-year-old women believe that, even if they have high-powdered careers…” (Dr. Jordan Peterson). The 30-year-olds have tasted careers and have found them to not live up to the expectations that they were told all of their lives. From the time girls are young, they’re asked what they want to be when they grow up….

Working Mamas Missing Their Children

Working Mamas Missing Their Children

A woman shared this on Facebook recently: I love her honesty. She shares what our culture tells women, yet she is believing the lies. The feminist agenda collides with God’s will for women, therefore, women are living a lie in a confused, chaotic state. Does society tell women to care for their children? No, it actually tells women to let others care for their children. Put them into day care when they are young and then into public schooling for…

The Quiet of Our Own Homes

The Quiet of Our Own Homes

Charles J. Ellicot edited a commentary on the Bible in the 1870s. Here is what was written 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…

Working Mothers Make it Easy for Teenagers to Fornicate

Working Mothers Make it Easy for Teenagers to Fornicate

When I was in high school in the mid-1970s, most of my friends’ mothers were in the workforce. Homes were left empty during the day. One of my church friends (the only other girl that was my age in our church) would tell me about her fornication exploits. She and her boyfriend would go to her home during lunch and fornicate. She had a number of abortions. No one was home, since her mom worked outside of the home. It…
