In 1946, Dr. Benjamin Spock wrote a child raising book that changed parenting styles everywhere. I am going to take some quotes of his and give a response and try to keep it biblical and from what I have seen as a result of his teachings. The majority of Americans still believe that spanking, NOT physical abuse, is still acceptable, thankfully, since they have seen how effective it is in dealing with children’s bad behavior. “In all 50 states and…
Written By David Cook THE EVIL INFLUENCE OF TELEVISION! BE CAUTIOUS AND CAREFUL!!! I HOPE YOU WILL READ ALL OF THIS POST. PROTECT YOUR MIND AND THE MINDS OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN!! Only eternity will reveal the sad, horrible effects of television on the minds of Christians in this present evil age we live in. We have no reason to watch things that defile our minds. To say, ‘It does not affect me’ is a very poor excuse indeed!…
The question of when a wife should disobey her husband comes up frequently. It seems that people are more concerned about when a wife should disobey her husband than about obeying and submitting to him. We are told to submit to our husbands in everything (Ephesians 5:24), be obedient to them (Titus 2:5), and we are Sarah’s daughters as we obey our husbands as she obeyed Abraham (1 Peter 3:6). We are told that our husband is head over us…
We are commanded in 1 Thessalonians 4:11 to “study to be quiet.” What does this mean? It apparently means that it’s not our nature to be quiet so we must study how to be quiet. Gill’s Exposition put it this way: “And that ye study to be quiet…. To live peaceably in their own families, and to give no disturbance to other families, by talebearing, whispering, and backbiting; to behave with quietness in the neighbourhood, town, or city, they dwell…
Many women today dress and act like harlots. A harlot is a woman who prostitutes her body for hire and who forsakes the true God and worships idols. We must study how a harlot dresses and acts to make sure we don’t resemble one in any way. “And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart” (Proverbs 7:10). What is the attire of a harlot? It is “showy gaudy (extravagant and costly)…
“I just went to a wedding where the officiant talked about headship and submission. He told the groom that he was to love his wife unconditionally and sacrifice everything for her. He told the bride that submission did not mean she had to be a doormat, and it did not mean her opinion didn’t count, and it did not mean her husband was allowed to bully her. He said absolutely nothing about what submission really meant, only what it did…
There are two types of women described throughout the book of Proverbs. One is a godly woman, and one is a foolish woman. I read through the entire book and noted all of the references made specifically to women, excluding Proverbs 31. First, I will give you the verses of foolish women to make sure none of these describe any of us! “It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman” (Proverbs 21:19)….
If you are a mother, your job, career, and calling is motherhood. It doesn’t matter whether or not you like it or if it bores you, your life on this earth isn’t about doing what you want and liking it. It’s about believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and obeying Him. Therefore, you can choose to love and enjoy motherhood as God’s ordained calling on your life. You can learn to accept that godliness with contentment is great gain and…
Written By Jonas Sikes Why is this generation of kids, out of touch with Jesus, more disrespectful than ever, not caring about anything whatsoever? Well, let’s take a look back in time… not so long ago, there was a generation who started to ignore God’s Word, allow the devil into their homes via cable TV, and in many cases, had two to three jobs so they weren’t really home doing the “Family Thing” Compromise kept increasing, and much evil slowly…
Women are filing 80 percent of divorces! This should not be. Many today have conveniently forgotten the vow they made to God and all of the witnesses that were at their wedding. The vow that they would remain married to their husbands until death do they part, through good times and bad. More people are covenant breakers (Romans 1:31) instead of covenant keepers, which is tragic on many levels. Women in past generations needed their husbands as their providers and…
