Women’s Conferences Fail to Teach Women Biblical Womanhood

Women’s Conferences Fail to Teach Women Biblical Womanhood

This is from a sermon preached by Gabriel Hughes on biblical womanhood. Now, my friends it may not look like I belong there, but I have actually attended many women’s conferences. My wife has been to several of these women’s conferences, and I can tell you from experience that what we’re reading here in Titus 2 verses 3 through 5 to older women and younger women, this is seldom taught in any of these women’s conferences. They might talk about…

Put Down Your Excuses and Put on Your Aprons!

Put Down Your Excuses and Put on Your Aprons!

This was written by Stacee Kameya on Facebook in response to the above post. A lot of these women in the comment section don’t seem to understand men. Men are not trying to come home and annoy their wives by throwing their socks on the ground and their clothes. They just worked a long hard day, laboring and using their bodies all day. They’re sweaty, they smell, and they are exhausted. The only thing they’re thinking about is getting out…

Which Way Modern Women?

Which Way Modern Women?

Author Unknown What does the Church teach about Womanhood and Marriage? Egalitarian – “Equality” of sexes, marriage is mutual submission, no hierarchy Complementarian – Pietistic headship and submission, rejects male “authority” Biblical Patriarchy – “Father Rule” Historical and biblical view on gender roles Since Christians have increasingly rejected Biblical Patriarchy over the last 100 years and brought secular philosophy of love and marriage into the church, we’ve seen the utter destruction of the Christian family. Just look at the statistics:…

Great Questions For a Dad to Ask a Guy Who Wants to Marry His Daughter

Great Questions For a Dad to Ask a Guy Who Wants to Marry His Daughter

Written By Pastor Gabriel Hughes There are times where, as a pastor, I’ve been asked to interview a young man on behalf of a young woman in my congregation. These are among the questions I ask. They are the same questions I’ll ask any young man who wants to date, court, or marry one of my daughters: 1. What is the gospel? Defend the deity of Christ. 2. How often do you study your Bible? Pray? Attend church? 3. What…

The Problem Always Seems to Be the Husband

The Problem Always Seems to Be the Husband

This is a comment given by Trey on my post Living Like An Abigail: I hear so many Christian wives these days talking about how bad their husbands are. The problem even seems to exist with Christian husbands who are reading their “Bible steadily, listening to sermons, and praying.” The one actually causing the problem in the marriage never seems to be the wife though. It is always their husband’s fault. And then I hear statements like these, “This is…

Living Like An Abigail

Living Like An Abigail

Her husband is an angry, bitter, and unkind man. He isn’t a believer. She loves the Lord deeply and wants to live in obedience to Him. She’s worried about her husband’s eternal soul. He doesn’t physically abuse her in any way, is a good provider, and is faithful to her. He’s just incredibly difficult to live with, and she suffers because of it. She read what I wrote about obligatory sex. She knows it’s true and applies to her since…

Is “Obligation Sex” Biblical?

Is “Obligation Sex” Biblical?

Women have tried to convince me that “obligation sex” is unbiblical. Posts and articles have been written arguing that it is definitely not biblical. Well, let’s ponder this for a bit. What is the definition of obligation? “An act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment.” So, naysayers are telling me that wives don’t have a “duty or commitment” to be sexually available for their husbands? What does God have…

Can a Marriage That Doesn’t Begin With Butterflies Last?

Can a Marriage That Doesn’t Begin With Butterflies Last?

Recently, I made a video called Love is Not an Emotion. The following is my favorite comment underneath the video! “Oh wow! I’m not the only one! I also don’t cry over movies or books, and I also didn’t have butterflies when I accepted my husband’s proposal (the second one). Lack of butterflies caused me to panic the first time he proposed, and I needed more time to think things through. I knew I liked him. I knew in terms…

Love is Longsuffering

Love is Longsuffering

Our culture is highly repulsed by any type of suffering. If you explain to others that you use a rod on your child because you want them to equate sin with pain, they cry abuse. They also cry abuse if a husband isn’t treating his wife exactly like she wants him to treat her, not helping enough with the housework or children, doing things she doesn’t like, doesn’t meet her emotional needs, and definitely doesn’t make her happy. In their…

Is Marriage and Child Bearing God’s Plan For All Women?

Is Marriage and Child Bearing God’s Plan For All Women?

“I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully” (1 Timothy 5:14). Whenever I share this verse, undoubtedly someone will tell me that this verse refers to widows only. I have pondered this. Why would God command this of only young widows and not younger single women? Then, I thought of Titus 2:3-5 where God commands older women to teach younger women to love their husbands and…
