Why do you think God used Sarah, who we know obeyed Abraham twice when he asked her to lie and then she was put into the King’s harem, as an example of submission for us to follow in 1 Peter 3:5, 6? “For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husband: Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as…
As many of you know, my post Men Prefer Debt-Free Virgins Without Tattoos went viral and is causing quite a stir. I should have definitely titled it “Godly Men Prefer Debt-Free Virgins Without Tattoos.” I want to make clear that the audience I teach are those young women who want to learn biblical womanhood as according to God’s instructions in Titus 2:3-5. They love the Lord and His beautiful ways. I have received almost 90,000 comments on this post on…
Do you know how much more attractive debt-free virgins (without tattoos) are to young men? Unfortunately, there are so few of these types of young women anymore because of the high costs of college (debt) and sexual promiscuity even from those within the church. As believers in Jesus Christ, we need to live in a way that is pleasing to the Lord because His ways are the best. He calls debt a burden and urges us to live lives of…
A few months ago, my dad listened to Gary Thomas on “Focus on the Family.” My dad liked what Mr. Thomas had to say so much that he bought Thomas’ book “A Lifelong Love” for all of his children and their spouses and all of his grandchildren and their spouses. I was the first one he gave the book to and I’m very skeptical about marriage books but this book is fabulous! Both of my sisters think it’s the best…
“The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober (most of the time), to love their husbands (if they make them happy), to love their children (which includes leaving their children all day so they can have a career),tobe discreet (this doesn’t mean they can’t do what they want to do), chaste (but living with…
“My mom lived her life the way you teach. She married young and had a bunch of children. She submitted to my dad but he divorced her so she was left alone with all of these children and no way to make a living. Your way doesn’t work and is destructive for women.” This is a story I have heard over and over again but with a few different details. Because of this story according to them, women need to…
Written By Elisabeth Elliot from her newsletter in 2002 “Submission”–what does it mean? The question, asked of me by women only, never seems to refer to submission to civil law, military officers, the boss, or the schoolteacher. It’s submission to a husband that is the sticking point. Instead of resorting to Webster this time, I’ll give you Oswald Chambers’ definition: “Etymologically [looking at the basic meaning of the word], submission means surrender to another, but in the evangelical sense it…
Written By Anonymous Thank you for this article Sex is Basic to Marriage. Thoughts on two points immediately come to mind: “When wives deprive their husbands, they are opening up their husbands to be tempted by Satan. This is not good at all! We are to do nothing to cause our brothers to stumble, no, not even our husbands.” This is so true. However, the modern husband is expected to “suck it up.” “Be a man and serve your wife,”…
There is a good reason that the Lord commands wives to ask their husbands at home if they have a question concerning something that is said at church or they want the elders to “fix” their husbands. “And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church” (1 Corinthians 14:35). 1 Peter 3:1 is God’s prescriptionfor how wives are to win disobedient husbands. Our…
Written By Kaylee Marie Lim, one very wise woman! The role of being a perfectly fit helper does not make one inferior to the leader. “There is no loss of dignity in subordination when it serves a higher purpose. God made you to be a help meet to your husband so you can bolster him, making him more productive and efficient at whatever he chooses to do.” (Debi Pearl) I only learned this when I humbled my heart enough for…
