Question answered by Tony Capoccia Question: Could you elaborate on the ministry of “women evangelists.” I’m thinking now of Billy Graham’s second daughter, Anne Graham Lotz (AGL). She actually is not preaching in a “church” or “worship” setting, so many say it’s okay for her to go out and preach to large crowds (usually made up of “believers,” men and women), because this is not a “church” setting. I’m really having a hard time justifying this in my mind. I…
Written By Pastor Matthew Trewhella Divorce is an ugly thing. It mires the mind of a child. It leaves him ill prepared and at a distinct disadvantage with his peers for the life that lies ahead of him or her. It removes all innocence. What order his life once had is left strewn on the floor. The most foundational part of his life which gives cohesiveness to his existence is gone. Life no longer has the promise it once did….
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves…” (2 Timothy 3:1,2) The big movements of our time (feminism, Women’s Rights, CRT, BLM, rainbow coalition…) are all built upon being lovers of their own selves without regard to anyone else. Here’s what the commentaries of old say about being lovers of their own selves: “Lovers of their own selves. Selfishness well heads the dreary list. It is the…
“The printing press puts into the hands of parents a means of good which they may use to the greatest advantage in the culture of their home-life and in the shaping of the lives of their household. But they must keep a most diligent watch over the pages that they introduce. They should know the character of every book and paper that comes within the doors, and should resolutely exclude everything that would defile. “Then, while they exclude everything whose…

The fashions of this world have never been that important to me. I wear very little make up. I don’t have my nails or toenails done. I don’t wear nail polish at all. I cut my own hair. I color it once a month. I wear clothes that are comfortable and modest. I’ve never cared about the fashion of the day. My house is uncluttered and comfortable. Most of our furniture is hand-me-downs from my parents or from Craigslist. Most…
As many of you know, I was extremely ill throughout my children’s childhood with parasites, neck fusion, brain tumor, two brain surgeries, and two intensive rounds of radiation. I had determined while they were young that I wasn’t going to make their lives miserable just because I was miserable. I missed out on many Thanksgiving meals, Christmas celebrations, and Easter dinners with the family, birthday parties, and summer vacations. I had read that self-pity was satanic, so I decided I…
My ministry is in obedience to what God has commanded older women to teach young women in Titus 2:3-5, namely biblical womanhood. I teach them to be sober, chaste, modest, discreet, keepers at home, and good, with meek and quiet spirits. I teach wives to love, submit to, obey, and reverence their husbands, and mothers to love their children. I encourage all women who love the Lord to become the women that He has called us to become with His…
Up until last week, Elizabeth Prata had me on her blog roll of blogs she recommended but a few months ago, she became upset knowing that I believe that older women should only teach young women biblical womanhood per Titus 2:3-5. (I am not exactly sure this is what sparked her fury against me.) She began digging into all of the dirt about me she could find from the trolls and sharing this on my Twitter feed. I tried talking…
From what I have seen, those who are writing critiques of the Anti-Duggar Documentary are either those who didn’t watch the Duggars and don’t know much about them, or those who hate the Duggars and the way they lived, the mockers. I watched every single episode of the Duggars. I loved this show. It was my favorite show on TV. I wish I had their example when I was raising children. They were kind, generous, served in the community, joyful,…
