Jana Duggar just turned 28 years old. There was a post on the Duggar Facebook page wishing her Happy Birthday. Of course, there were many critical comments directed towards the Duggars under this post. Here is one that stood out to me: “I would really like to see at least one of the Duggar girls go out on their own, without needing a man. Go away to college, or university and experience life in the outside world! You don’t need…
My mom is very sick. She mostly lies in bed all day long and wants to go to heaven. She has lived a good and long life for 87 years. She’s been an amazing mother to me, and we’ve been close for all of our lives. It’s hard for me to see her in the condition she is in. Death is a very hard thing to watch, even if it’s an old person. At the beginning of last September, I…
Written By J. R. Miller The wife who would always hold in her husband’s heart the place she held on her wedding day will never cease striving to be lovely. She will be as careful of her words and acts and her whole bearing toward him as she was before marriage. She will cultivate in her own life whatever is beautiful, whatever is winning, whatever is graceful. She will scrupulously avoid whatever is offensive or unwomanly. She will look well…
Do you have a childlike faith in God? Do you obey Him regardless of the cost because you trust that what He commands He will provide? Do you trust that His ways are best even if you don’t like them nor understand them? Do you trust Him enough to be a keeper at home even though it seems impossible? Do you have the faith to submit yourself to your husband’s leadership in everything even though he may make bad decisions?…
Many people today believe that women can pray and prophesy in the churches. Does the Bible actually say that women can do this? Let’s look at 1 Corinthians 11, which teaches about head coverings. We are told that the head of the woman is the man and that “every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head.” Is this referring to a woman’s activity in a church service? Does this mean that women can pray and…
There are many foolish women today. A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing(Proverbs 9:13). Foolish means“void of understanding or sound judgment; weak in intellect; unwise; silly; vain; acting without regard to the divine law and glory.” Universities don’t make women wise. They make them foolish; for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3:19). What they learn in these places of “higher learning” is that there is no difference between men and…
Many people today literally live in fear of having a fever. My mom raised us to not fear them at all but understood that it was the body’s way to rid itself of viruses and disease. I raised my children the same way. I would give them a lot of warm water with fresh lemon juice and organic, raw honey just like my grandmother did with her seven children. (Nowadays, I have also added elderberry syrup for any colds or…
Written by Walter Martin First Peter 2:24 says of Christ, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” One of the primary rules of biblical interpretation which must never be violated is context. What is the context in 1 Peter 2? Answer: salvation. There is no way to interpret it in any other sense. The verse is talking about…
“Hi Lori, Long time follower of your blog. I feel called to homeschool my two children, but don’t feel that I can at this time, and was hoping you would have some sage advice for my situation. My husband passed away when the kids were quite young and we need to live with my mom to help with the childcare since I have to work to bring some money into our home for food, utilities, and mounting healthcare bill since…
Children desperately need their mothers home full time with them. I asked the women in the chat room to name all of the benefits there are for children who have mothers home full time with them and here are their responses. Carlee: “This is somewhat specific to babies but getting to experience all the milestones firsthand, getting to rest when they rest if they’re keeping you up all night, knowing all the little things they like and don’t like, forming…
