Written By Pastor Gabriel Hughes There are times where, as a pastor, I’ve been asked to interview a young man on behalf of a young woman in my congregation. These are among the questions I ask. They are the same questions I’ll ask any young man who wants to date, court, or marry one of my daughters: 1. What is the gospel? Defend the deity of Christ. 2. How often do you study your Bible? Pray? Attend church? 3. What…
Written By Annabel from Feather Your Nest Dear Laine has gone to her heavenly home. She has been in home hospice for weeks and she wrote to me last about three weeks ago. The last email I said, “I love you Laine.” I have loved Laine for more than 30 years. I began getting her letters when the girls were at school. I didn’t know her from a bar of soap, but I felt each letter was an actual letter…
Someone from Canon Press, Doug Wilson’s organization, asked me to review Doug’s new book, Keep Your Kids. I was sent an Advanced Reader’s Copy and read it right away. Here is my review of this book! When you want to learn how to raise godly children, find someone who has raised godly children. Doug Wilson has raised godly children and is worthy of learning from. In reading his new book “Keep Your Kids,” some things were deeply impressed upon and…
This is a comment given by Trey on my post Living Like An Abigail: I hear so many Christian wives these days talking about how bad their husbands are. The problem even seems to exist with Christian husbands who are reading their “Bible steadily, listening to sermons, and praying.” The one actually causing the problem in the marriage never seems to be the wife though. It is always their husband’s fault. And then I hear statements like these, “This is…
Our culture is noisy. Social media and culture are noisy. How are we, as Christian woman, supposed to live according to God’s Word? We are to be quiet. First, let’s look at how worldly women are. “She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house” (Proverbs 7:11). Here, God is referring to a harlot, a worldly woman. She is loud and wants to be heard by the way she dresses and speaks. She is stubborn and wants…
Her husband is an angry, bitter, and unkind man. He isn’t a believer. She loves the Lord deeply and wants to live in obedience to Him. She’s worried about her husband’s eternal soul. He doesn’t physically abuse her in any way, is a good provider, and is faithful to her. He’s just incredibly difficult to live with, and she suffers because of it. She read what I wrote about obligatory sex. She knows it’s true and applies to her since…
Women have tried to convince me that “obligation sex” is unbiblical. Posts and articles have been written arguing that it is definitely not biblical. Well, let’s ponder this for a bit. What is the definition of obligation? “An act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound; a duty or commitment.” So, naysayers are telling me that wives don’t have a “duty or commitment” to be sexually available for their husbands? What does God have…
There’s nothing that seems to cause so much division among Christians as the topic of Halloween. I have even deleted old posts about it because of the division it caused. I shared this on Facebook today. As always, it caused a TON of division. In response to all of the division in the comment section, I wrote the following to help clear things up for women: “See, I used to be just as strong and adamant as many of you…
“Anti-suffragists believed that women should reform society from within the home and that restricting the right to vote kept men manly and women ladylike. They also believed that women were already busy with their homes and families, and that suffrage would add to their duties in adverse ways.” This is from a poster that was created by women who vehemently opposed women suffrage shown above. (My comments are in parenthesis.) “The history of all states where women have the vote…
Recently, I wrote my thoughts about Allie Beth Stuckey and Candace Owens in my private Facebook group. “God commands women to be keepers at home. Allie Beth and Candace Owens are no different than female preachers. They stand behind pulpits and preach in conferences. Allie even teaches theology, like Calvinism. She’s not biblically qualified to teach this. They travel often and must put in a lot of time and energy for their speeches, writing books, and podcasts. They both have…
