This post was written by Rusty Thomas on Father’s Day. Yes, it’s a post for men, but it says a lot to women too. “As goes the father, so goes the family, as goes the family, so goes the Church, and as goes the Church, so goes the nation.” We can look to the failure of our government, church, and culture, but the ultimate failure is traced back to the feminization of men and the masculization of women. Much of…
Many Christians who love God and His Word believe that complementarism is a good way to define marriage compared to egalitarianism where men and women are “equal.” I don’t agree. I don’t like the term complementarism, and I don’t believe its biblical. The definition of complement: “Something that completes or makes perfect; either of two parts or things needed to complete the whole; counterparts.” Was Eve created to complete Adam? Do wives complete their husbands? No, or this would mean…
This post was on the No Greater Joy website written by Michael Pearl and it was just one long paragraph so it was difficult to read. I decided to make a post out of it to make it easier for you all to read! It’s an important post. We must teach our children to remain separate from this wicked world. In our recent article on betrothal, I mentioned that many homeschooling parents insulate their children without, but fail to insulate…
“Good day, Lori. I must say that I have been blessed by your blog and YouTube videos. Yes, I’m one of your subscribers. I have been pondering and worrying in my heart over these messages that you teach. I have so many questions so I would be glad if you could help me answer them?” “Why was the woman created?” Eve was created by God because “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him…
Married women have written to me and told me that they are deliberately choosing to not have children, then ask me if this is a sin. What if ALL Christian couples who could have children decided to not have children? Would this be sin? Of course! One of the main purposes for marriage is to raise godly offspring. The first command God gave to Adam and Eve was to be fruitful and multiply. Did you know that the United States…
A few days ago, I read an article by John Piper called Is There a Place for Female Professors at Seminary? My immediate response when I saw the title was NO! If women are to be silent in the churches and not to teach nor be in authority over men, they should NOT be teaching men in seminary who are preparing to be pastors and teachers of the Word. John Piper wrote: “If it is unbiblical to have women as…
Written By Anne Ortlund Is divorce ever allowable according to the Scriptures? When the Pharisees asked Jesus if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife, He answered with great strength. And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they…
Many churches today accept having female deacons when the Bible is clear that deacons are to be the “husband of one wife.” Yes, women can clearly serve in the churches but they are not to have any leadership positions. God has ordained the men to be the leaders in the churches, yes, even overseeing what Bible studies the women are learning from. I believe many Christian women are becoming biblically illiterate from learning the Bible from women who are not…
“Success isn’t big crowds but it IS bringing HUNDREDS upon hundreds of thousands of people to salvation through Jesus, it IS ABSOLUTELY helping to restore the broken and feeding the hungry – which is just what female preachers like Joyce are doing. In Jeremiah 18:1-5, God presents Himself as a potter and us as the clay, where He easily molds us from one thing into another. Who are we to tell Him how He might use a person? Who are…
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. There are many women who act…
