The older I get, the stronger my opinions against public schooling become. I don’t see how sending our children away for hours every day, five days a week, for most of their growing-up years can be beneficial in any way. They are forced to be away from their home and their mothers for most of their childhood! How were we ever convinced that this was good? Did mothers fall for the idea so easily because it would take away the…
“Wifely thriftlessness and extravagance have destroyed the happiness of many a household and wrecked many a home. On the other hand, many a man owes his prosperity to his wife’s prudence and her wise administration of household affairs.” (JR Miller) In pondering this statement, I thought about all of the women who are marrying their husbands with a boatload of debt due to their college education. They failed to ever consider what a burden this would place upon their future…
“Militant feminism has and is creeping into the churches. The apostate church as described by Paul in II Timothy 3:1-5 embrace her heresies. The rise of a dark, subtle sensual spirit of antichrist blended with Babylonian charm is sweeping over our land like a storm. This is why, in post-modern America, a well-known study by George Barna shows that since the late 1960’s, men have been less likely to attend church than women; 39% men versus 61% women on any…
Many churches today accept having female deacons when the Bible is clear that deacons are to be the “husband of one wife.” Yes, women can clearly serve in the churches, but they are not to have any leadership positions. God has ordained the men to be the leaders in the churches, yes, even overseeing what Bible studies the women are learning from. I believe many Christian women are becoming biblically illiterate from learning the Bible from women who are not…
Dalrock wrote about cross-dressing on his blog, and it is definitely food for thought. God definitely wants women to dress and act like women, and he wants men to dress and act like men, but it has become acceptable in our culture for women to dress and act like men, even in the Christian culture, sadly. Yes, our wicked culture has now decided that men can act and dress like women, but we clearly know this is wrong. How did…
Many wives have contempt towards their husbands. I know, since I used to have it towards my husband, and I see many women having contempt towards their husbands by the way they treat them and talk about them. Contempt kills a marriage. What is contempt? According to the dictionary, it means “the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn.” For some reason, it’s easy for us wives to feel that we are better…
There is a parenting movement called “Jesus the Gentle Parent.” Was Jesus the Gentle Parent? First of all, He was never a parent and didn’t raise children. His purpose was to point people to their need for a Savior. He wanted people to clearly see their sin and that the wrath of God was upon them because of it. If their eye caused them to sin, He told them to pluck it out. If their hand caused them to sin,…
Thirty seven years ago, we said “I do” in a little Baptist Church right next door to Master’s College in Newhall, CA. We were both 22 years old at the time. When I was getting ready in my bedroom at my parent’s home, one of my bridesmaids came in and warned me that I shouldn’t go through with the wedding. She had been married just a short while and was terribly angry at her husband that day so she let…
Written by Kate Singh (with some of my additions, which I believe are biblical in parentheses) The house is empty all week. It just sits there. A $1,700 to $3,000 mortgage. No one uses it really. Everyone works 60-hour weeks to pay for a home they don’t use. They have a yard that has grass, nothing really living and producing. Just water-wasting grass that is another thing to deal with on the weekends. They have dogs that don’t get walked…
We were discussing public schools in the chat room last week because one woman told me that the high school her son attends is the “darkest place” she’s ever stepped foot on. I drove past that school the other day and I saw young teenage girls with their stomachs and breasts half uncovered, tight jeans, and short shorts. I grieved for them along with the guys who were exposed to this all day long. One woman asked what she should…
