As I have shared before, I like preaching and teaching that is direct. I love teaching that doesn’t beat around the bush but simply lays it out as truth, no matter how “harsh” it may seem. I want to be convicted and challenged at church by our pastor and by anything that I read. This is why I loved Debi Pearl’s book so much. She spanked me with her words! I needed it. I needed truth far more than I…
Written By Richard Steele (1672-1729) This is the wife’s special qualification. If she has all beauty and learning but no respect for her husband, she is not a good wife. Creation suggests it. She was made after the man (1 Tim. 2:13), from the man (1 Cor. 11:8), and for the man (1 Cor. 11:9). This order was not by man’s doing, but God’s. Even after the fall the divine order stands: “He shall rule over thee” (Gen. 3:16). The…
Recently, I was asked this question by Jessica: “I am curious on your thoughts on a topic regarding raising children. I am fairly traditional and a conservative Christian. I plan to homeschool my children, keep them away from secular television, books, and off social media. However, I don’t want to raise kids that grow up to be outcasts since entertainment is such a big topic of conversation. Or, I know several religious families who’s kids grew up to be rebellious…
Women have often asked me about oral and anal sex. Most young women now shave their pubic hair. Some are into violent acts in the bedroom. Pornography has invaded the marriage bed. God commands that we keep the marriage bed undefiled. I love what Reverend Richard Steele wrote about this topic in the early 1700s. “Maintaining Regular but Moderate Marital Sex. ‘Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge’ (Heb. 13:4). Marital…
Written By Jayme Lawson A long while back when I was a carnal Christian and swept up in the culture, worldly entertainment, a sinful life, false teachings, and worldly ideas, I was a Pharisee, but didn’t know it. And I had a charismatic self-righteous bone to pick with a woman named Lori. For weeks, I judged this lady and ranted about her and her website. I was very upset with her and criticized her, but thought I was defending women,…
Written By Nancy Campbell at Above Rubies Do you remember Jael in the Bible? God called her “blessed above all women who lived in tents.” The Kenites lived in tents in those days. Why was she given such honor? Because she destroyed the enemy who came to her home. You can read the whole story in Judges 4:17-23 and 5:24-31. God gave the Israelites victory over the Canaanites who had held them in slavery for 20 years. Captain Sisera ran…
Everyone now knows what happens in the month of June. It’s gay pride month, and we will be seeing it celebrated all over the place. I walked into Target the other day, and there was a huge display right when I walked in. How are we, as believers in Jesus Christ, to respond to this? For one thing, don’t allow it to steal your joy. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Every single time you see anything related…
This was written by Peter Marshall in 1949. He was Chaplain to the United States Senate in 1947 and 1948. There never has been a time when there was a greater need for Keepers of the Springs, or when there were more polluted springs to be cleansed. If the home fails, the country is doomed. The breakdown of the home life and influence will mark the breakdown of the nation. If the Keepers of the Springs desert their posts or…
Sometimes, it’s difficult understanding the depths of wickedness and godlessness happening in our nation today. These verses will help you understand. “Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.” (2 Timothy 3:8,9) “Yea, and all that will live godly in…
Andrew Tate made a video about the importance of women marrying, bearing children, and being good wives. Many women were furious with him. I loved it! He spoke truth. You can listen to him say it on Instagram. Listen if you can! It’s incredibly powerful. A life with no children is vapius. And it’s inane and it’s pointless. And you may sit here and think that your career matters. But the truth is that your job will fire you at…
