There’s a viral video of a pastor who actually preached to wives. This is SO uncommon. How many of you have ever heard a sermon preached to only wives by a man? So, here’s one who finally does and explains clearly men’s battle and what they would love from their wives, then he gets blistered. Sure, he could have stated some things a bit differently and left out a few things, but over all, he was spot on. The title…
Every week, I pick up one of my children’s four children and have them over for the day. This is to give my DIL a break, and I enjoy having them. We work puzzles and I read to them, but we mostly are outside in the front where many of the neighborhood children come to play too. Whenever I have a set of the grandchildren here, my oldest daughter will drop off her 18 month old son, since he loves…
Written By John MacArthur and Jeremiah Johnson “No biblical standard is more viciously attacked today than the God-ordained role of women in society. And no passage is more ridiculed or reinterpreted by assailants within the church than these two verses.” That sober warning comes from John MacArthur’s commentary on the book of Titus. The controversial verses in question are Titus 2:4-5: “so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible,…
Apparently, explaining to women that they are not to deprive their husbands since God is the One who commands this, creates a scenario where sex becomes a “duty” and they no longer enjoy sex. Sex becomes dull. Can I tell you what this attitude boils down to? Rebellion, plain and simple. God commands many things of us, many, and they are ALL for our good! When supposed “sex teachers” are teaching women that duty sex is wrong, they are teaching…
If you haven’t noticed, I like to be blunt in my teaching; teaching that is straightforward. I like teachers who are blunt in their teaching. I don’t need to be coddled, and I certainly don’t want my ears tickled (2 Timothy 4:3). This kind of teaching never helped me. It was Debi Pearl’s blunt teaching that finally helped me. She told me exactly where I was at fault in my marriage. It’s probably why I love the Apostle Paul’s teaching….
Written By John Michael Clark The devil hates your marriage. He uses lies and temptations and seeks to divide the two who have become one. This is why it’s so painful when a husband and wife are living under the influence of his lies. And one area in particular he attacks in marriage is sex. The devil wants everybody having sex except for a husband and a wife. And this gift that was made exclusively FOR marriage is celebrated everywhere…
Many women do not like it when I teach them to not deprive their husbands sexually, but I will continue to do so since it’s biblical. “Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency” (1 Corinthians 7:5). Defraud means to “to withhold wrongfully from another what is due to him.” Incontinency means “lack…
Written By John Michael Clark Normal Christian Husband: What does the Bible mean when it says a husband is the “head of his wife?” Milquetoast Pastor: Well it doesn’t mean you’re some kind of tyrant!! Normal Christian Husband: Riiight… I didn’t assume that it did… So what DOES it mean? Milquetoast Pastor: Well it doesn’t mean your wife is some kind of doormat!! right? Normal Christian Husband: Riight… I didn’t think that either… but what DOES it actually mean? Milquetoast…
This post is an excerpt from the book titled Teachers’ Secrets and Motherhood Savvy by Renee Ellison. I highly recommend this book! I pray that this post will bless and challenge you, wives. Nothing good comes from being quarrelsome and needing to be right with your husband. (A shrew is an ill-tempered, scolding woman.) We can see yet a third powerful picture of discipline in Shakespeare’s play, The Taming of the Shrew. (Perhaps you can find the old black and…
This was shared on my Facebook page last week: The following is a comment about Joel’s tweet written by James D Ferrand: It amazes me, that our generations, mainly 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s babies, most of us grew up in broken homes, and many of us dealt with the social and psychological consequences of such, sowing a lack of growth and maturity because of this. In any case, we were not shown the proper way to have family, with…
