Many years ago, Ken and I read Oswald Chambers. We are now reading Charles Spurgeon because we enjoy his writings more because he understood our new lives in Christ clearer than Oswald did who is the type that focuses on us as “sinners” and Spurgeon on us as “saints” once we are His. One of my dad’s friends said that reading Oswald was like drinking castor oil! Something I did learn from Oswald’s writings, however, is the term, “self-pity is…
The Bible tells us that a “virtuous woman is a crown to her husband.” What does virtuous mean? It is a woman with high moral standards, chaste, righteous, good, and pure. She loves the Lord deeply and tries to be obedient to His Word by walking in the Spirit. She is prudent with the money her husband makes by using it wisely and carefully. She works with willing hands and does it cheerfully. Her children can even hear her singing…
Many of you know of my health struggles the past 28 years. I have written about them on my blog, even having to go through brain surgery for the second time and Cyber Knife a few years ago which was traumatizing. I have detailed all of this in my book but I thought it was time for an update for all of you who would like to know. We go to Door County, WI most summers but I have had…
There is such a need in the Church today for Christian women to hear the message of loving their husbands and being submissive to them. They need to learn how to discipline, train, and raise their children while being keepers at home. The skills of keeping a clean and tidy home have been lost on this generation of women. Modesty is not a word many women in the Church are aware of these days. Few know what being discreet, chaste,…
Amazon allows anyone to write a review of a book without purchasing it, so I am receiving a numberof one star reviews from trolls who haven’t read my book but are on a crusade to discredit it. I mostly ignore the trolls, and my sister warned me to not read their reviews. (She just finished my book and loved it!) No one likes being continually insulted and slandered, however, but when I read Paul’s persecution my woes cannot compare. God…
Many Christians teach that we should “die daily” and “take up our cross daily.” What does this mean? (This was a question asked ofMichael Pearl and he answered on a video.) Okay, let’s look at that. That’s a commonly misunderstood concept. Always consider the context. He says, “If any man come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Jesus is preparing his disciples for his crucifixion. He’s been telling them about…
Remember the post I did a few weeks ago about popular female teachers and writers? It has come out, as I am sure most of you have heard, that the very popular “Christian” blogger and speaker, Jen Hatmaker, doesn’t teach about sin, repentance, obedience, or hell. She just wants everyone to “love ” each other and get along. I have been warning women about women like this because if they don’t teach about God’s love and mercy, without teaching about…
Everyone seems to rave about what feminism has done for women and how great it is for them. I happened upon an article called 11 Ordinary Things Women Weren’t Allowed to Do in the 50s and 60s. As you can imagine, I was curious to see what great things feminism has accomplished. Number one: Open a bank account. Okay, this is an okay one, although I would have been fine without it. My dad supported me until I got married…
In all the years I have been mentoring women, frequently I have women asking me, “Well, what about him? Doesn’t he have to do this and that, too? What about Ephesians 5:25? He’s called to love me as Christ loves the Church and he isn’t so I can disobey, disrespect, and be the leader in the home since he isn’t obeying God, so there!” No, they don’t add the last part but this is in essence what they are saying…
Many women are rebellious today and want to do what is right in their own eyes. They are rebellious to all types of authority and they don’t want to be told what to do: what to wear, what to do with their bodies, and what to do with their lives. They want to do what they want to do regardless of who it hurts in the process. One example is from a man who wrote about his disgust with so…
