The Proverbs 31 Woman is Not the Doctrines of Womanhood

The Proverbs 31 Woman is Not the Doctrines of Womanhood

Comments 29 comments

For International Women’s Day, Dale Partridge put up the following post on his Instagram account: These qualities of a godly woman are great and supported biblically but many women were up in arms over it and took him to task. One woman named Rachel wrote, “This image of a biblical woman isn’t incorrect, it’s simply incomplete. Where is the Proverbs 31 description of a woman who is a busy, independent, entrepreneurial, respected leader in her home and community? Cherry picking…

Mommy Blogs Doing More Harm Than Good?

Mommy Blogs Doing More Harm Than Good?

Comments 39 comments

From Raising Godly Children Christian Moms, if you’re more influenced by “mommy blogs” than your husband and/or pastor, that’s an issue. If you spend more time reading “mommy blogs” than studying your Bible, that’s an issue. These Christian “mommy blogs” are having an enormous influence in the American Evangelical Church and I think they’ve done more harm than good to be honest. Christian moms are running to these blogs, social groups, Facebook pages, etc. when they should be running to…

No, Wives Do Not Have to Submit to Evil

No, Wives Do Not Have to Submit to Evil

Comments 41 comments

We have had a few men through the years who want me to teach that wives should submit to their husbands in everything, yes, even if husbands ask their wives to do evil. They feel that I need to repent since I don’t teach women this. I don’t believe women should submit to physical abuse nor to anything evil the husband asks her to do. Yesterday, two men took me to task on this very topic since I listed a…

He Wants the Children Vaccinated. She Doesn’t.

He Wants the Children Vaccinated. She Doesn’t.

What do women do who are completely against vaccinating their children but their husbands want their children to be vaccinated? They believe that vaccines contain aborted babies and can cause harm to their children. They are even afraid that their children could die from them since some have. Can they disobey their husbands’ will in this circumstance? Are the husbands asking their wives to sin? (Yes, some believe that vaccinating children is sinful.) I asked the women in the chat…

Modesty and Beauty Should Go Together

Modesty and Beauty Should Go Together

Comments 31 comments

Written By Nancy Campbell at Above Rubies Modesty and beauty should go together. Both enhance one another. Modesty does not have to be old-fashioned and drab. There are some dear Christian women who feel they must wear plain and drab clothes to be modest. But we don’t find this anywhere in the Bible. Far from the truth. The Proverbs 31 woman was dressed beautifully in “fine linen and purple.” When Sarah went down to Egypt, the Pharaoh of Egypt noticed…

Being Mocked For Serving One’s Husband

Being Mocked For Serving One’s Husband

A woman in the chat room alerted me that I was on Diply and told me she prayed for me. I had never heard of this site before but found it easily. It’s not a Christian site but the author of the article wrote, “A Christian blogger is facing major criticism after a Facebook post encouraging women to find majority of their joy doing housework and submitting to one’s husband.” I am not sure which post he was referring to…

Why Most Men Don’t Want More Children

Why Most Men Don’t Want More Children

Comments 28 comments

Women will frequently write me and tell me that they want more children but their husband do not. I have some ideas why men may not want more children. First of all, many wives put their children above their husbands once they have children. They co-sleep with them even if their husbands don’t want this. The women give all of their time and energy to their children and have little to no time left for their husbands. They forget that…

Are Husbands Commanded to Submit to Their Wives?

Are Husbands Commanded to Submit to Their Wives?

Comments 24 comments

Whenever I teach about wives submitting to their husbands, I inevitably have women bringing up Ephesians 5:21, “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God” as if this teaches husbands that they must submit to their wives, too. But what does the very next verse state? “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” There is no addition here that states, “and husbands submit yourselves unto your own wives” as much as many women would…

Parents are to Raise Their Children, Not Strangers

“As schooling becomes more rigid and consumes more of childhood, it is causing increasing harm to children. Many of them are unable to meet unrealistic academic and behavioral expectations at such a young age, and they are being labeled with and medicated for delays and disorders that often only exist within a schooled context. Parents should push back against this alarming trend by holding onto their kids longer or opting out of forced schooling altogether,” wrote Kerry MacDonald in her…

Written and reposted with permission by Michael Foster at It’s Good to Be a Men J. C. Ryle warned, “It is only too true, that thoughtlessly entering into marriage is one of the most fertile causes of unhappiness, and too often, it may be feared, of sin.” A chorus of henpecked husbands and divorced men say, “Amen!” Marriage is full of risk. It shouldn’t be entered into lightly. Many are the victims of an ungodly woman. In Proverbs 7:26, Solomon…
