One woman shared a YouTube of an episode from Petticoat Junction that was broadcast in the late 1960s. It’s such a clear picture of the convoluted nature of feminism. I am going to write out some of the conversation for you. It’s about one of the sisters, Billy Jo, whose been in Chicago for six weeks and the other sisters, Bobbi Jo and Betty Jo, are busy around the home getting ready for her arrival. Billy Jo’s boyfriend, Jerry, picks…
A woman wrote me and asked me for marriage advice since she just got married a few days ago. Since I write about it almost every day, I went to the wise women in the chat room and asked them what advice they would give and this is what they wrote: Honor your Husband – doing your best to be a godly help meet to him and focusing on your role as a keeper at home The best advice I…
Many women are continually upset at their husbands because their husbands act like men instead of women. Once women understand that men are different than them, they will be more content with their husbands but they sure aren’t being taught this important truth these days. An article titled Women Aren’t Nags – We’re Just Fed Up explains clearly the faulty thinking of women today. First, the author wanted her husband to take care of all of the details of hiring…
It’s interesting to note that God doesn’t tell us that men can build up or tear down their homes. No, it’s women who have this type of power and unfortunately, many are tearing their homes down with their own hands thinking the grass is greener somewhere else but finding that it was all a lie. It’s vitally important that we build our homes up, women, not just for our sake but for our children’s and grandchildren’s sake. You want to…
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Proverbs 31:29 Why does this woman excel all of the other women who have lived virtuously? What makes her so amazingly special? I believe it is because she has given her life for others. She learned from an early age to deny herself and that the greatest of all is the servant of all. She most likely also knew that godliness with contentment is great gain. Her main ministry was…
Written By Nancy Campbell Modesty and beauty should go together. Both enhance one another. Modesty does not have to be old-fashioned and drab. There are some dear Christian women who feel they must wear plain and drab clothes to be modest. But we don’t find this anywhere in the Bible. Far from the truth. The Proverbs 31 woman was dressed beautifully in “fine linen and purple.” When Sarah went down to Egypt, the Pharaoh of Egypt noticed her and brought…
In Romans 1, the Apostle Paul teaches the progression of sin away from godliness and towards a reprobate mind (a person abandoned to sin; one lost to virtue and religion). Because that, when they knew God, they glorifiedhimnot as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened (Romans 1:21). In the previous verse, we are told that everyone knows there’s a God because creation “screams” (my version) His name! “For the invisible…
by Gary Smalley and John Trent Largely unused in marriages, homes, friendships, and businesses is a tool called emotional word pictures that can supercharge communication and change lives. This concept is as old as ancient kings but so timeless that it has been used throughout the ages in every society. It has the capacity to capture people’s attention by simultaneously engaging their thoughts and feelings. Along with its ability to move us to deeper levels of intimacy, it has the…
“Do you want to be free? Do you want to be in control of your emotions and not have them control you? Do you want them to be your friend and not be afraid of them? Do you, as a Christian, want your emotions to enhance your spiritual life rather than work against it? You can only do this if you rise up and take control of your thoughts. The ‘stream’ of your thoughts will be the most important factor…
There are women who are STANDING for their marriages. Yes, they are married to disobedient, unfaithful, and difficult husbands but they understand the cost and are willing to obey God instead of listening to those around them encouraging them to take the “easy” way out and get divorced. Several women in the chat room are standing strong in the gap for their husband’s soul and their marriages even though many have told them to divorce their husbands. It is a…
