During the years, more than a few people have asked me why I use the word “help meet” instead of help mate to describe the reason God made Eve for Adam. I love the KJV Bible and have used it for many years. Here is how the word is used in the KJV: “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). Help…
We have all heard that the sin of Sodom was sodomy which the 1828 Webster Dictionary simply defines as “a crime against nature.” What led up to this sin and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? “Behold this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty and committed abomination before me;…
Women entering the workforce have caused war between the sexes. Women want to take over men’s roles (careers), but most men don’t want to take over women’s roles (keepers at home). Take this example of what has been spread around Facebook: A man named Brian wrote: “No man working 40 hours a week wanna come home to a hot pocket and fruit punch!” A woman named Jessica responded to him: “No woman working 40+ hours a week wanna come home…
Men have ten times as much testosterone as women. I remember my mom telling me she felt sorry for men since their sex drive is so strong. I never agreed with her. I figured God made them that way for a reason. Both sexes have their battles (men battle their sexual nature and women battle their emotional nature), but God created us this way for a good reason IF used for good and brought under control. I asked the women…
In almost every post I write about God ordaining men to be those in authority, women will use the example of Deborah in the Old Testament. Here is a great response to this argument written by Scott LaPierre. Judges were Israel’s primary rulers for almost three-and-a-half centuries. They also commanded armies, making them some of Scripture’s strongest leaders. So why did Deborah serve as judge? Her position is often the first mentioned to support female leadership. Does she conflict with…
We live in a highly sexualized culture. We can’t even watch a football game without seeing scantily-clad women and commercials that would make our grandmothers roll over in their graves. Evil is considered good and celebrated, and good is considered evil and offensive. Pornography is watched by most men (and even many women now), and living with one’s boyfriend before marriage is considered okay even in the Christian community. How do parents raise their children to withstand the sexual aggression…
When I was a young mother, there was a lot of talk about “quality time” among those young mothers who were career women. They felt that if they gave their children quality time, it would make up for the quantity of time they weren’t with their children. It sounded good, but in practice, it was not good at all. Children are not ignorant. They can tell when they are being neglected. Many of my friends loved coming over to my…
“There are no high-fertility countries that are gender equal,” according to an article in The New York Times called Americans are Having Fewer Children. “Women have more agency over their lives, and many feel that motherhood has become more of a choice.” Many are not choosing to have children and be home to raise them. No, they want to be men and have freedom to have careers, use birth control so they can have sex without consequences, and pursue their…
Written By Amber Haring I love to read! And yesterday while I was perusing the book section at Target (read: throwing five books at a time into my cart), I noticed the huge section of romance novels. And right next to them was a section on loving yourself and the self-help section, and it got me reminiscing on old habits and life lessons. I used to read romance novels all the time! I loved them! In fact, one summer I…
Feminists have twisted the word “patriarchy” to make it a despised word. What does patriarchal mean since I sure hear women throw it around a lot trying to convince people that America and men are bad? According to the dictionary, it means “relating to or characteristic of a system of society or government controlled by men.” When these women speak of patriarchal, they act as if America is this way. We have women in every branch of government except the…
