This world is chaotic and noisy, but we, as believers in Jesus Christ, are called to be peaceful and quiet. “And that ye study to be quiet and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you” (1 Thessalonians 4:11). How do we study to be quiet? “Orderly, peaceful; living in the practice of the calm virtues of life. The duty to which he would exhort them was that of being subordinate to…
In Titus 2:5, older women are commanded to teach young women to be “good.” Do young women have the ability to be good? In Romans 7, the Apostle Paul admits that he has no ability to be good: “For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now…
In our devotions the other day, we read these verses: “But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believes not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, HE IS JUDGED OF ALL: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth” (1 Corinthians 14:24, 25). What does prophesy mean? We are answered in 1 Corinthians 14:3:…
Lenient discipline produces undisciplined children and countries. Strict discipline produces disciplined children and countries. I will give you an example of this from The Shaping of a Christian Family by Elisabeth Elliot. “Singapore is one of the cleanest, most efficiently managed, and drug-free cities in the world. Stamped across the entry visas in large red letters are these words: DEATH PENALTY FOR DRUG DEALING. It works. It not only saves the city for the citizens, but it saves many a…
Written By a Retired Minister in Tennessee I like the old paths… Moms were at home, dads were at work, Brothers went into the army, and sisters got married BEFORE having children! Crime did not pay; hard work did And people knew the difference. Moms could cook, dads would work, And children behaved. Husbands were loving, wives were supportive And children were polite. Women wore the jewelry, and men wore the pants. Women looked like ladies, men looked like gentlemen…
When I was five years old, my mom got Ulcerative Colitis and would spend weeks in bed. Ulcerative Colitis is when the colon (the large intestine) is badly damaged and bleeds. Doctors told my mom that there was no cure and told her to eat only white things (white bread, white rice, and white potatoes). They also gave her some drugs. She tried this for a while but only got sicker. She began to read every book she could find…
Tucker Carlson had a very tragic monologue on his TV program the other night about how men are failing in body, mind, and spirit. Are we just going to stand by and watch men continue to go down the path to destruction? No! We, as mothers, need to do what we can to raise up masculine men and it is possible; for with God ALL things are possible! For one thing, the public school system is set up for girls,…
This post was written by Trey from a comment on this post. Yes, some women were terribly angry and offended with Trey for writing this and wrote that it wasn’t biblical. I added scripture to everything he wrote to prove that what he wrote was scriptural. One woman asked him if his wife treated him this way. You can go to the post and see how he responded. If anything Trey wrote upsets or offends you, research your Bible to…
A woman commented on Ben Shapiro’s post about Matt Walsh writing and speaking too much about Jesus: “I love this! One thing I don’t understand is how can you be a Democrat and a Christian? Pro-choice, marriage equality, anti-gun (we have a right to defend ourselves). I’m not saying I’m against marriage equality because it’s not my place to judge. But I don’t go around promoting it.” Is it not our place to judge? How can we rebuke, exhort, and…
Many women today hate the idea of being modest. They think if men lust after them, it’s all the men’s fault, and they should be taught to control their lusts. Others argue that women are visual, also, so why shouldn’t men be taught to be modest? For one thing, the Bible is specific in commanding women to be modest. It never once tells men to be this way, although nakedness and shame are written throughout the Bible. God knows how…
