Many in the churches have watered down a husband’s authority over their wife. It’s too offensive to many, therefore, the solution is to call it complementarianism, have the husband called to “lead and serve” his wife, and do away with Patriarchy altogether. What does God have to say about this? “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and…
Written By Owen Strachan One of the most disastrous ideas we face is this: love is a feeling. Survey says: nope. You may well feel powerful positive emotions toward your spouse. I hope you do! But love in biblical terms NEVER reduces to feelings. True marital love is a commitment; it’s a covenant borne of the gospel of Christ. Here are some truths about your feelings and your marriage, friend: –You could EASILY feel drawn to folks who aren’t your…
Written by David J. Stewart Jesus plainly taught that divorce only happens… “because of the hardness of your hearts” (Matthew 19:8). No! Leave if you must, but divorce is wrong. Marriage is a lifetime covenant. I received the following e-mail from a woman who left her husband. In a subsequent e-mail she confirmed that she had divorced him… “I saw your website. I have a question. I am divorced. My husband and I are both saved. I am saved 24…
Written By Laurenlou There is one passage of Scripture I have always wondered about and have never been able to fully understand or explain. “Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety” (1 Timothy 2:15). You read that passage and you’re like what? Women saved through child bearing? There was a story of one tribe who believed this meant literal salvation so the women were encouraged to bear as many…

Last week, I shared this tweet on my social media platforms: “Learn to serve your family and others because you love them and want to glorify God in everything you do. In this way, you’ll never expect to *feel* appreciated by others since this is self-pity which is satanic. Keep your eyes upon Christ and what He commands of you. His blessings are abundant!” Of course, there were women who were angry with this as some are with everything I…
Written By KB Davies A woman that does not submit to her husband cannot submit to God. It is absolutely impossible. You see, there is ONLY one way for a married woman to submit to Christ (and to God) – and it is by obeying God THROUGH submission to her husband. Like it or not, this is what the Bible explicitly says. “But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the HEAD OF A…
Written by Josh on Twitter Did you all hear that several people got up and walked out during John MacArthur’s preaching this last Sunday? What was he preaching? On the woman’s role in submitting to her husband and how the husband provides and is the savior and protector of the wife. This is hands-down one of, if not the most, offensive topics today even to many Christians. So many have been conditioned by the culture and had their thinking changed…
He was raised in a home with an abusive father. Now, his ministry is to stop abuse from happening which is honorable BUT in doing so, he has watered down the meaning of submission to mean honor. God would have used the word honor instead of submission if he only meant honor. He does command wives to reverence their husbands in Ephesians 5:33, but He also commands them to submit to and obey their husbands multiple times. This man came…
