Written By Nancy Campbell Many women don’t like this phrase. Even Christian mothers. And yet it’s in the Bible! Isn’t that amazing? However, I think it comes down to the fact that we either believe the Bible or we don’t. If we believe the Bible we must receive every word as the living, breathing Word of God. It is an eternal Word. It is as up-to-date as tomorrow’s newspaper! Therefore, if you believe the Bible, would you like to come…
She is like the merchants’ ships; she brings her food from afar. Proverbs 31:14 We spent several months in Wisconsin this summer in the cabin my dad bought 30 years ago. Since Ken works from home, we had the opportunity to do this, and we greatly enjoyed it. In order to find fresh food, once a week I would drive about 40 minutes to the nearest health food store and buy up things mostly on sale. They have great monthly…
There’s an old home we walk past every day. It is not in good shape. The yard isn’t either, and the whole place appears completely unloved. A few weeks ago, there were a lot of trucks in the driveway. After a week or so, it was empty, and I told Ken I thought that they had probably been evicted from the way they left it. One day, we walked by, and the garage door was left open, so while Ken…
Women try to convince me that just because they work outside of the home, it doesn’t mean they aren’t keepers at home. I am not sure how you can be at home if you aren’t home! It’s a recent phenomenon to have so many women who are not homemakers anymore and many more who are out in the workforce. When God instructs women to be keepers at home and guide the home, it was to prevent them from running from…
There is a “Christian” woman blogger who had a post go viral recently. She’s a great writer so I went back to her beginning posts. Every post was filled with Bible verses and were about the LORD. She has many children but recently she divorced her husband. Now in her recent posts, she never mentions the name of the LORD nor quotes Scripture yet thousands of women are reading her words. Warren B. Smith wrote, “And it is, indeed, very…
She seeks wool and flax, and works willingly with her hands. Proverbs 31:13 “Not that it is the duty of kings and queens to use manual operations, but it is the duty of all persons, the greatest not excepted, to improve all their talents, and particularly their time, which is one of the noblest of them, to the service of that God to whom they must give an account, and to the good of that community to which they are…
Women have used this verse to try to convince me that women are not to wear pants. The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination to the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 22:5 The problem with this argument is that men didn’t wear pants in biblical times either, therefore, it doesn’t seem to apply specifically to pants. Men wore long, flowing robes…
Whenever I teach that women are called to be keepers at home, without fail I have women asking me how they are supposed to afford it. I wrote this on my Facebook page last week about this topic: When I teach that women are to be the ones to work hard at home and be keepers at home, I teach what God calls women to do; looking well to the ways of their household and not eating the bread of…
Most Americans have a problem with self-control. You can see it by their expanding waistlines and I can hear it from the comments from the women in the chat room. Food is abundant and inexpensive in our country and junk food that is filled with non-food is available for practically nothing. The Apostle Paul wrote about discipling the body. “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye…
If we don’t like parts of the Bible, can we simply decide they aren’t agreeable to us and refuse to believe them? Jen Hatmaker believes she can, and she does. Here are a few of her quotes from a recent article: She was asked: “You took a stand last fall saying LGBT relationships can be holy, and it got your books banned from LifeWay stores. Why was that important to you?” Jen replied, “I just sort of have this dream…
