Recently, I shared a post on social media about Debi Pearl and her angry dad. He worked hard to support the family, but would flare up in anger and even cuss at her mother and children at times. Yet, Debi’s mother remained cheerful and kind. She eventually won him over with her godly behavior. He never became perfect (imagine that!), but he was a far better man due to Debi’s faithful mother. Some felt her mother should have gone to…
Saint John Chrysostom (c. 347–407 AD) was a prominent early Church Father, Archbishop of Constantinople, and one of the greatest preachers in Christian history. An appreciation of the mutual need that man and wife have for each other can serve to resolve and strengthen love and harmony between spouses. “God divided the activities of our lives into two areas, public and domestic. Wives were entrusted with the household, and men were given civic duties, in commerce, in the courts, in…
Written by William Gouge V @William_Gouge_X on X in response to a video Lila Rose made. I never thought I’d ever agree or repost a Lila Rose clip, but here we are. My thoughts: First, this guy knocks it out of the park (watch the video). Christianity needs to get back to the biblical model of courting and the traditional Christian (and biblical) household codes. Ninety-nine percent of postmodern Christians have zero understanding of biblical marriage, or its intended purpose…
A woman responded to this post I shared on my Facebook this way: “This is so wrong and not from God! He says it is better not to marry if you don’t need to (or want to). It is better to focus on following Jesus and serving others. It is not wrong to want or need to marry, but it is better if you don’t.” Timothy Allen responded to her: What you’ve just done is twist the word of God…
***Rules for the Wife at Home*** 1. Overlook husband’s faults and instead focus on his better side. 2. Never nag or try to manipulate your husband into doing things your way. 3. Trust God and trust your husband. Pray for him daily. 4. God first, husband second, children third, house fourth. 5. Submit to your husband’s authority and allow errors in his judgment. 6. Allow him to provide for the family and appreciate the money he brings in and the…
For the past few days, I have been reading “Being Elisabeth Elliott” by Ellen Vaughn, and it’s heartbreaking. Elisabeth married her third husband, Lars, when she was 50 years old and knew right after marrying him, that she had made a mistake. He became extremely controlling and angry, even keeping her from her daughter and eight grandchildren. The family did an intervention to help her but after a few days, she said she wanted to go back to her husband…
Written By Moonlight_Myth on X I lost my husband because of pride. At 2:50 a.m., he tapped me for help and I pushed his hand away. I didn’t know that was the last time he would ever touch me. My husband and I had a small argument one Tuesday morning while getting ready for work. He complained about the way I sliced the bread said it looked messy and “unpresentable.” His words hit me like a slap in the room….
Written By @RRROBYN on X I can tell you as a person with divorced parents, it just never gets easier either. The way it’s hard just changes. It used to be that there was always the feeling that something was missing on every birthday, Christmas, and life milestone. The sadness permeated my childhood and adolescence, not because I hated my parents for divorcing, but because I loved them so much. I still do. Wondering who I might be, how I…
My best friend was raised in a feminist family. Her mom and her aunts were all feminists and career women. The summer before her junior year in high school, she went to a Christian summer camp and believed in Jesus Christ. But then, she went back to her high school where Mormonism, Buddha, and other false religions were mixed in with Jesus. She decided to go to Westmont College since it was close to home. It’s a small Christian college…
Written by Pastor A. Gene Robinson I watched a woman break down in regret, and it cut deep. Years ago, a Christian man proposed to her. He told her she didn’t have to grind herself into the ground. She could build a home. Raise children. Be covered. Be protected. Be cherished. She was offended. Feminism told her that offer was an insult… that dependence was weakness… that partnership was oppression. She chose the lie. Years later, the tears came. Not…
