Bad things happen in this life. Evil things happen. Many question the goodness of God because of these things. Babies are diagnosed with leukemia. Women who want so badly to have children are infertile. A diagnosis of cancer shortens a life. Where is God in all of this and how should we respond in and through our sufferings? In a book called The Made From Scratch Life by Melissa Norris, Melissa tells of a time when she lost a baby…
We often hear the praises of all of the wonderful things that feminism has accomplished for women. This was being passed around Facebook recently: The fight for women to vote is tragic to me because all the women who fought to be able to vote were doing so because they felt they knew better than men (even though God made men the leaders), which led to the superiority attitude of women in our culture, which has been devastating. (Most sitcoms…
From The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Hey Mama, Right now, it’s a frenzy. Feed them, house them, school them, disciple them. Clean, cook, answer calls, pay bills, show up, be available, clean up the crises. And there are plenty of those these days. Fast forward 10-20 years: You’re not young. But you have grandkids. Your children are still your life. But those grands are your joy. Sometimes your kids help you with big stuff. The projects they complete on your behalf,…
One brave woman on Facebook is continually speaking the truth on her newsfeed. One day she wrote: WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SCRIPTURE? 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 ~ 34 – Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for…
One of the reasons we are given that women are not to teach nor be in authority over men is that Eve was deceived. So does this just mean that Eve was deceived, but it doesn’t mean that all women are more easily deceived, as this one author wrote? Got Questions is a very reliable source for most biblical questions. They answered a question concerning women pastors/preachers. I agreed almost 100% with their answer except for this paragraph: “The fact…
For years I tried to tell my husband how to eat healthier and all it did was drive a deep wedge into our marriage. Trying to control others, especially our husbands, is a terrible way to live. It is counterproductive to a good marriage. We are called to be their help meet and to submit to them in everything, NOT try to control or change them. This is the Lord’s job. I have been following ayoung woman on Facebook. She…
Christian women are floundering today. They have no idea what they are supposed to do with their lives. Should they work after having children or be home full time? But if they don’t work outside of the home, they will probably get bored and won’t make any money, so they will feel useless. Oh, what should they do? Mark Taspon did an interview with Mallory Millet, who is the sister of Kate Millet. Kate is one of the founders of…
Older women are told to teach young women to be keepers at home, but what about grandmothers? Are they to be keepers at home? Here is how God’s Word defines the role of older women: The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women…(Titus 2:3, 4). Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children,…
Young women’s desires and passions are not well regulated these days. Whatever they “feel” like doing, they do, and they are easily led by their emotions. I had one woman comment on Trey’s homemaking post, and she wrote this: “I hate the man who wrote this. I do as I please.” I wrote back, “You act like a child. Were you not taught to not hate others you disagreed with? Were you not taught that the world doesn’t revolve around…
My post that has gone viral numerous times has been shocking to some of my friends and relatives, considering some of the other more controversial things I have written. It’s on homemaking, for goodness sake! Women today have no clue that they were created to be their husband’s help meet and work hard serving them as keepers at home. No, the blurring of roles and the desire to be served instead of serve is as destructive upon marriage as anything…
