Written By Pastor Robert R. Reed This article is a defense of women being “keepers at home” (Titus 2:5). The issue before us is not whether a woman should work, but where she should work. Every individual, whether male or female, is created by God to labor in His kingdom. Even in paradise our first parents were given a vocation (Genesis 2:15). Work brings health, happiness, and stability to those who are engaged in it. To work is to imitate…
From The Old Schoolhouse Magazine An anonymous reflection from a daughter who finally sees clearly. I told myself I was being brave. I scrolled past another post on my feed–someone else sharing how they cut off a “toxic” parent for the sake of their mental health. And something inside me cheered. “Yes. Finally,” I whispered to no one. “I’m doing the right thing. I’m standing up for myself.” Except I wasn’t. I was building a wall. A thick, cold, pride-wrought…
Some women didn’t like Debi Pearl’s book “Created to Be His Help Meet” because they claimed she gossiped. She told the story of a fat, ugly woman in her book. Her point was that men were still attracted to her because of her smile and joy. Was this gossip? I tell things about what I see other women do and then use them as an example of what we are to do or not to do. Is this gossip? I…
The above picture is of my college friends and me at Jan’s wedding (the bride) a few months before my wedding in 1980! (I am the second one from the left.) All of us only wanted to be wives, mothers, and homemakers. We went to college because that was what we were supposed to do in order to prepare for a career. None of us wanted careers. Four of us graduated from college. The other two dropped out after a…
One woman took me on about my last post about women preachers. She argued that Susan Heck is a great Bible teacher and does teach biblical womanhood. So, I researched her since other women have told me this too. Here are the books she has written: Sermon on the Mount, 1 John, 1 Timothy, 1 Peter, Putting Off Sins, 2 Timothy, Philippians, Ephesians, Spirit-Filled Marriages, James, John 13-17, Colossians, and Prayer. She has only written ONE book on biblical womanhood!…
Written By Brian Sauvé Imagine the fruit that could have been born in Christian households, churches, and communities if instead of lionizing functional lady pastors producing lady Bible studies, we had obeyed Titus 2? What would that have looked like? Well, instead of empowering women theologians to serve as quasi-elders, making it seem as if women needed women teachers to learn their systematic and biblical theology rather than the office God appointed for that function (male elders and husbands), we…
My gut has been bad since I was 30 due to parasites then years of harsh drugs to rid myself of the parasites. I have tried everything to heal my gut including fasting, living on only juices, drugs, supplements, and anything anyone recommended. Nothing helped. I have continually struggled with diarrhea and pain. About a year and a half ago, I tried a low inflammatory diet that healed Jordan Rubin’s Crohn’s disease. Since I began that, I haven’t had diarrhea…
“Around 69% of divorces in heterosexual marriages are initiated by women.” The vast majority of these women are college educated. “Women often feel less satisfied in marriages due to unmet emotional needs, poor communication, and lack of independence.” My grandmother and mother never even thought about emotional needs. It wasn’t a term until the 1980s when a psychologist came up with it. Read HERE why he did. It’s only cause devastation upon marriage. Both my grandma and mother married quiet…
College is incredibly expensive these days which puts the students or their parents into deep debt. Sadly, even Christian colleges are corrupt since our culture is incredibly corrupt. It’s not a good nor wise place to send daughters. What are they supposed to do in the meantime before marriage? I asked the women in my Facebook group, and they gave me many great ideas! Childcare/daycare in the home Nutritional Therapist (takes some online courses) and open a wholesale account with…
“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” (1 John 5:19) We must remind ourselves that this is not our home. We are pilgrims and strangers passing through. We must keep our eyes on things above. Our hope is in Christ alone. It’s easy to get comfortable here and always expect peace and happiness. We live in the richest nation that has ever existed. All of our needs and more are met daily….
