A godly, pastor’s wife lent me her book Modesty: More Think a Change of Clothes by Martha Peace and Pastor Kent Keller. I love that it has a godly man chime in since it’s good to know men’s opinions about these things. They state that the purpose of this book is “about repenting from immodesty and becoming modest and pure in your heart and outward dress.” “We should not dress or act in any way that would cause another person…
Women today want to speak in church. I know this because whenever I write anything on this topic, I have a lot of women telling me that I am wrong, and they use a few verses to try to prove it. I shared this on Facebook a few months ago: A woman brought up this verse to refute what I shared. But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is even all…
There met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart. She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house (Proverbs 7:10, 11). I decided to dig into these verses to find out the opposite of what we are called to be and study the qualities of a harlot from the old commentaries to make sure none of us can be accused of any of her ways. Many women act as harlots today…
When I was a little girl, my parents attended Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, CA. Ray Ortlund was the well-beloved pastor at this time, and my parents became good friends with him and his wife, Anne. When I was five years old, my parents moved about an hour away, but Anne would come out to our home to give Bible Studies. As an older woman now, I love her writings (except for her book about marriage which I wasn’t too…
This marriage testimony was given in the chat room from a woman who wishes to remain anonymous. I want to take a moment and share an experience with you ladies who have husbands who are not only disobedient to the Word, but in direct contrast with it. I was sorting through years of paperwork this morning and I found some very old receipts and statements. I found my husband’s ambulance bill from when he crashed his car into a house…
Rush Limbaugh received a telephone call yesterday from a woman named Angela. She’s a Christian who has been married for 27 years and is a wise woman! They were discussing a new policy that has been instituted at Princeton. If you don’t believe that universities are poisoning our culture (as Dennis Prager consistently states on his radio program), you sure will now. RUSH: “Princeton – they’re setting up a person to guard against and advise against and to rehabilitate men…
Many women who want to be home full-time with their children have a problem with their husbands wanting the same things. Most of these husbands had mothers who weren’t home full-time to nurture and give them emotional support; therefore, they don’t understand what they missed, but it does affect them deeply. They usually have a hard time being emotionally close to their wives because of the lack of motherly care and affection. Dr. Brenda Hunter in Home By Choice explains…
Last Sunday, our church held their service on the beach at Lake Michigan. We are in Door County, WI where we’ve come almost every summer since I was a child. My grandpa built a cabin up here in 1959 and then my dad built one right next door thirty years ago so we’ve always loved coming here. During the service, there was an older man with long, gray hair in front of us sitting next to his wife who had…
Of course, careers for women came from a godless, heathen world! There is nothing in the Bible that encourages or instructs women to leave their homes for hours every day, leave their children with strangers to raise, and go to a job. If there is one, I have never read it. Yes, some women in the Bible made things in their homes and sold them like Lydia and the Proverbs 31 woman, but not one left their home all day…
Women are twice as likely as men to get depressed and studies have shown that not only are women more hormonal but we are much more relationship oriented. Women suffer depression over loss more easily than men as well. If they move to a new place and lose old friendships, they can easily get depressed. Those who were not close to their mothers, rejected by their mothers, had distant mothers growing up or lost their mother by the age of…
