Do Your Children Rule Your Home?

Do Your Children Rule Your Home?

Comments 12 comments

People considered us strict parents. Our children did not rule our home. We did. They weren’t allowed to do whatever they wanted. They ate what I gave them: nourishing food. If they were “hungry” as children are continually saying, they could only have something simple like a piece of fruit or nothing at all until mealtime. Allowing them to eat whenever they want isn’t teaching them any self-control. If you don’t teach them self-control, they will struggle with it when…

There are many young “Christian” women bloggers these days who have huge followings. They write books and speak at conferences even though they are married and have children. Is this what God has called them to do? No, God has called them first and foremost to be a help meet to their husbands and then a mother to their children and finally, a keeper at home. It’s heady stuff having a lot of people reading what you’re writing. Yes, I…

Thanking God for Simple Pleasures

Thanking God for Simple Pleasures

Comments 4 comments

Written By Sunny Shell at Abandoned to Christ I love my life. I really do. What I love most may seem boring to many, and possibly absurd to others. But still, I love everything the Lord has given me–especially the simple,dailypleasures many miss because we think we deserve any good we receive. I love sunny days because they remind me of the warmth and awesomeness of God’s grace; His face that cannot be seen by any human lest we be…

From David Murray on Revive Our Hearts Radio Well, I’ll sum it up very briefly . . . it (technology) is killing us.I can expand on that if you want. I love technology–I’m a technophile–I just love it! But, and it’s not just Christians saying this, it’s a very broad range of secular opinion, from a sociological viewpoint, educational viewpoint, health viewpoint. We’re seeing, increasingly, the digital revolution is changing us in detrimental ways. It’s damaging us, and I think…

Women Showing Their Breasts While Breastfeeding

Women Showing Their Breasts While Breastfeeding

Comments 14 comments

Many young women today believe that it’s fine to nurse a baby in public and have other men see their breasts because feeding a baby is much more important than what men think or being modest, and this is why breasts were created. I disagree. In my grandmother’s generation, women were always careful to cover themselves when they nursed their babies. It was the same for my mother’s generation. They wouldn’t have dreamed of allowing other men besides their husbands…

Are We Good Enough?

Are We Good Enough?

Comments 10 comments

There are a lot of women teaching other women that they are “good enough” and if their husbands cheat on them, it’s not their fault. It’s purely the husband’s fault. If a man breaks up with them, it’s not their fault for they are the “pearl of great price” and “worthy of more.” Yes, I have read these things being written by women lately. Are these women good enough and the pearl of great price? Is there never any fault…

This was an article in Above Rubies Magazine from October 2012, and I kept it because it was so powerful. I decided to type it up for all of you to read so it can encourage you, too. It was written by Jennifer Flanders, who had 12 children at the time! Actions speak louder than words. You can say you respect your husband, but he’ll have a hard time believing that unless your behavior backs it up. What does respectful…

Confusion Over Sexual Personhood is Epidemic and Devastating

Comments 11 comments

When I was growing up, we were shown clearly defined gender roles in our home and in our church. My mom was a full-time homemaker, and my dad worked hard to provide. When we went anywhere as a family, my dad drove, and at restaurants, he was always the one to pay. He took care of the broken and heavy things in and around the home. He took us to church every Sunday and once in a while read Bible…

My husband and I graduated from Westmont College in 1980. During our time as students, there were no female Bible professors. Robert Gundry was our Bible teacher at the time and was very well known. His position has just been filled by a woman named Sandra Richter. She wrote a post against what John Piper had to say concerning women professors at seminaries. Here is what she wrote. (Now, remember, she is going to be teaching the Bible at a…

Following Our Heart and Feelings

Following Our Heart and Feelings

Comments 5 comments

“It always gets me when people talk about ‘listening to your heart’ or ‘following your heart.’ Jesus didn’t say, ‘Lay down your life, take up your cross, and follow your heart.’ In fact, the Lord said quite the opposite. ‘The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?’ Christians should not follow their hearts, but the Word. We live in a time where people are more concerned with living by their feelings than…
