God commands young women to “marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully” (1 Timothy 5:14) therefore, if you are a young woman who loves the Lord, you should be obeying this command to the best of your ability. Too many Christians have been swayed by the culture they are living in instead of reading and obeying the Word of God. This world needs children and no, it is NOT overpopulated as the…
A woman asked John Piper this question, and I thought I would take a stab at it since it is what I teach. “Hello Pastor John, my name is Jennifer, and I live on Long Island. I have a question about complementarianism. It is something I have struggled with for a long time, and it is something I need to have worked out before even considering a relationship or marriage in the future. I know the Bible clearly states that…
As many of you watched the many feminist women march on Saturday for the murder of unborn babies and the “end of patriarchy” whatever that means, the women in the chat room were discussing it and had very wise thoughts concerning it. I want to share some of them with you, but first I wanted to share what I thought about Madonna’sspeech since she was one of the main, famous speakers. “Welcome to the revolution of love. To the rebellion…”with…
By Charles Spurgeon The apostle John was privileged to look within the gates of heaven, and in describing what he saw, he begins by saying, “I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!” This teaches us that the chief object of contemplation in the heavenly state is “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world.” Nothing else attracted the apostle’s attention so much as the person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by his blood. He…
Yesterday, I received a comment on a post I wrote years ago called A Sex Starved Husband. I thought his comment would make a great post, so I went to the post and began reading the comments from men regarding the lack of sex their wives are giving them. Ken is mentoring a man whose wife hasn’t given him sex for over six months. I wept as I read their heartfelt comments. The main reason men marry is for sex…
If your husband was offered a great job across the country would you be willing to go with him? Chris Christie, the Governor of New Jersey, “maintained that he would have landed a top White House job if only his wife would have let him.” It reminds me of a husband of a friend of mine who was giving a speech and mentioned that he was offered a great job up in San Francisco but his wife told him if…
Men seem to be the brunt of many jokes in our society today. Read this tale that was wildly popular and I am sure all of the women were cheering. He wrote a letter to his wife why he was leaving and divorcing her. She quit her job without telling him two weeks prior and hid from him the reason why. She didn’t notice his new hair cut, the meal he cooked for her, and the new silk boxers he…
“The Bible does not support the idea of a stay-at-home mother; it’s unbiblical. There were no stay-at-home moms in the Bible; that’s laziness. The Proverbs lady can be seen operating a business and earning money. She seeks wool and flax and works willingly. She sees that her merchandise is good, meaning what she produces and sells. That’s why she’s known well at the gates of the city. She also has money to give to the poor. She has money to…
“Were any of your children high strung as kids? Our youngest daughter has been like that since she was born. She’s highly intelligent, perceptive, and fun-loving, but she’s got this extremely finicky, high-strung, dramatic and overly sensitiveness about her that is really a struggle for me to figure out how best to handle. If she spills a tiny bit of water on herself, you’d think it’s the end of the world and she absolutely has to change her clothes or…
We, as parents, are commanded to bring our children up “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). In Deuteronomy 6, we are told to do this with the Word of God concerning our children:“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and…
