About five years ago, women began wearing thong bathing suits on our beaches here in San Diego. When they were laying on their stomachs on their towels, they looked naked. I got to the place where I despised walking on the beaches with my husband. I hated being where naked and promiscuous women were, but he liked walking on the beach, so we continued walking on the beach. Well, those same beaches have completely eroded and are filled with rocks…
Pastor Voddie Baucham preached a sermon called “What’s More Important Than A Wedding.” I took some notes and then will add my thoughts. Young women want to be brides but not wives and mothers. They want a wedding but not a marriage. What happened? It happened over a half century ago and is perfectly portrayed in Snow White (1937 which was post Depression era) and Cinderella (1950 which was post WW2 era). Let’s look at the comparison between the two….
It was December 1979 when a suitemate of mine introduced me to her brother. Her brother and I walked slowly down to our dorms. We chatted comfortably. When we arrived at the front of our dorms, we chatted some more. I didn’t think he was that handsome at the time. He wore a rust colored sweat suit, his hair parted in the middle, and big horn-rimmed glasses but he was tall, intelligent, and made me laugh. We talked easily. It…
Years ago, I used to publish handwritten posts on all of my social media sites. Some of you may remember them. Women asked me if I would make a book out of them, so we paid a woman in the chat room to type them all out for me. This sat in my file for a few years. Recently, I decided to put the book together as something that women could read daily to encourage them on their walk as…
Written By Richard Steele (1672-1729) This is the wife’s special qualification. If she has all beauty and learning but no respect for her husband, she is not a good wife. Creation suggests it. She was made after the man (1 Tim. 2:13), from the man (1 Cor. 11:8), and for the man (1 Cor. 11:9). This order was not by man’s doing, but God’s. Even after the fall the divine order stands: “He shall rule over thee” (Gen. 3:16). The…
Women have often asked me about oral and anal sex. Most young women now shave their pubic hair. Some are into violent acts in the bedroom. Pornography has invaded the marriage bed. God commands that we keep the marriage bed undefiled. I love what Reverend Richard Steele wrote about this topic in the early 1700s. “Maintaining Regular but Moderate Marital Sex. ‘Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge’ (Heb. 13:4). Marital…
What does submission look like? Very few of us have had godly role models to show us. Laine wrote a letter giving her readers concrete examples of what submission looks like. May you be blessed by her wisdom! Before I begin sharing concrete examples, however, I must explain that my heart changed toward my husband when I began to fall in love with Jesus all over again. When I began to thirst for His Word and time alone with Him…
Once in awhile, I will receive an email from Evie Magazine. It has some interesting articles from an unbiblical perspective. Consider this article called “How You Can Have Higher Value in the Sexual Marketplace.” “Many women find themselves getting ghosted right after sex. One woman shared her experience: ‘Of course, some men ghost after sex even if you withhold it for weeks. I once dated a guy I waited two months to sleep with. In that time, he took me…
In an article by New York Post called Millennial men want 1950s housewives after they have kids, the author Jennifer Wright wrote: “Even in normal times, women spend approximately two hours more per day tending to domestic work than their partners. A 2013 research paper by economics professors Francine D. Blau and Lawrence M. Kahn claimed that ‘modern men do not adjust the amount of time they dedicate to housework based on their wives’ employment status.’ “‘Professional working mothers who…
Pastor John Street preached a sermon called The Emotionally Abusive Marriage in July 2020 at Grace Community Church. He wants Christians to look at difficult things like this through a biblical perspective rather than a psychological one. How much we love God and how much we love others determines everything else about our spiritual walk. You many not agree with everything he has taught in this sermon, and he admits to not covering everything that can happen in emotional abuse,…
