On Saturday morning, I decided to go through the new comments on my old blog Always Learning and either approve or delete them. I seldom do this but I found one written by Pat on the post titled “Should Husbands Ever Discipline Their Wives” (and no, it’s not about domestic discipline, as many know today). It was so good that it was worthy of a post of its own! “It’s amazing to me after looking at all these old yet…
Most of us have been raised with a contraceptive mentality, even those of us who have been raised in the church and in Christian homes. Right before marriage, we are asked what contraceptive we’re going to use as if getting pregnant on the honeymoon would be a terrible thing. Then after we’ve have two children, we’re expected to begin preventing any more children since this contraceptive mentality causes us to think of children as an inconvenience and disruption to our…
God never intended for women to seek out and conquer men’s role in cultures. God has different and perfect plans for women and they aren’t the same as men’s. A transgender from Texas has won the girl’s state championship for wrestling two years in a row. Feminists claim they are equal to men in every single way so they fought to be men. Now, some men are pretending to be women and proving that the feminist’s claim is simply wrong….
One man posted this question on his Facebook wall: “Should a wife have sex with her husband even when she is not in the mood?” I answered, “Yes, because a wife who loves the Lord and His ways certainly will, since she is not led by her moods or emotions but by the perfect Word of God.” A woman responded to me, “Lori Alexander, really? You do realize that a woman is a human being in her own right and…
Studying the Word of God is something I love to do. Each time I read it, even with those passages that I have read many times, I learn something new. God’s Word is definitely a twoedged sword! The KJV uses the word “suffer” in this verse which means to allow or permit: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, not to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence” (1 Timothy 2:12). Once in a while, I…
A woman wrote, “If a husband ever says, ‘You’re not submitting!’ I would say, ‘Bad leadership!’ The husband always initiates! If he is loving her to death, I promise he will have a submissive wife. Husbands create the wife they have. If you’re mean and angry all the time, that’s what she will become. You’re the leader. If you speak tenderly and serve her, she will be your reward. Serving and honoring you.” Did she speak the truth? Where in…
You are probably asking, “How in the world do career grandmothers make young mothers’ lives harder?” I will tell you. Many people will encourage older women that after their children are grown, they are free to do as they please. They can finally do something for themselves! They can go back to college, pursue careers, travel, or do whatever they want but is this God’s will for them? In 1 Timothy 5:10, we are told what older widows (those over…
Training children in the way they should go is not an easy task. It takes a full-time mother who is willing to sacrifice her time and energy for her children. It is not for the selfish or the me-centered. A mother must be intentional about how she is raising her children. I have seen too many mothers fail to teach their children to obey them when they were young and these children grow up to bring their mothers great heartache…
On Friday, a young women privately messaged me on Instagram and shared with me that she had only been married a few years, yet her husband is deeply addicted to pornography. It has been devastating on her marriage so she asked for my advice. I immediately decided that I needed to write out a post warning young women to not marry porn addicts. We’ve seen too much devastation in marriages with this addiction. Here is the post that I wrote:…
For some reason, the goal of higher education and having a career never appealed to me when I was young even though I attended public schools most of my childhood. When the other girls were talking about what they wanted to be when they grew up, all I could think about was wanting to be a wife and a mother. I did attend college, however, because this is what young women were and are supposed to do. I attended a…
