This was written by my pastor. “So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 This last month has been especially challenging as we have experienced the deaths of several members and family of members. As I have met with families, prepared funeral services, and been involved in officiating them, I have once again been reminded of some biblical truths that we don’t often think about in our daily lives….
In our over 41 years of marriage, we have never had boundaries. No, we didn’t have boundaries about privacy when using the restroom. We are considerate of each other. If one walks in on the other, it’s no big deal. We would never get angry about this. We didn’t have boundaries with our parents. They knew they were welcome in our home whenever they wanted to come over. My 91 year old dad stops by often and unannounced. We have…
There is a video that clearly shows the differences between males and females. I will briefly summarize the videos findings here. The average skeletal muscle of females is 46.2 lbs. The average skeletal muscle of males 72.7 lbs. Men have stronger bone structure, a slightly bigger heart, and far higher testosterone levels, ten times the amount. Zuby, a UK based rapper, broke the British women’s weightlifting records, and he’s not even a power weight lifter. Those who want to be…
Our pastor taught us that “The Bible is a better interpreter than any commentary. Scripture is truly the greatest interpreter of Scripture.” This is so true! Many are so good at twisting Scripture to say what they want it to say rather than examining the context of the passage and cross referencing it with other verses to find out the author’s intent and what the author actually meant. Let’s take a look at a verse and how many take it…
Written By Lindsay Harold When the topic of women staying home is brought up, the most common argument against it is that women today have to work in order to pay the bills. That’s often true or at least they believe it is. Yet many of those bills exist because they are working outside the home. For example, if the wife stays home, they don’t need daycare, a second car, her work clothes, gas money for her commute, eating out…
Written By Joel Webbon at Right Response Ministries Is Complementarianism biblically sufficient? NO!!! God is a Father, and we have no other choice but to live in the Father’s world. Therefore, we are all subject to the Father’s rules, whether we agree with them or not. God the Father has determined to work through fathers. He has appointed fathers in the home (husbands/fathers), fathers in the church (elders/pastors), and fathers in the state (civil magistrates). A woman’s responsibility is serve…
Jill Filipovic, who has 162,000 followers on Twitter, tweeted this recently: “More mothers at home makes for worse, more sexist men who see women as mommies and helpmeets. Men with stay-at-home wives are more sexist than men with working wives; they don’t assess women’s workplace contributions fairly; and they are less likely to hire and promote women. Stay-at-home mothers are psychologically and emotionally worse off than working mothers by just about every measure, from depression to anxiety to anger; they…
Written By Ken Alexander We live in perilous times where far too many of the recent generation of children is getting to adulthood without ever learning true respect. Our society is loaded with self-seeking disrespectful young people who hardly respect themselves, let alone others. Where does such lack of self-esteem and respect come from? From poor parenting and a serious cultural breakdown of the family and sexual morality. Just look around you and you will see disrespect all over the…
There was an article written by Psychology Today titled “Why Women are More Likely to Want a Divorce.” Here are a few comments that women made about this on Facebook: “If you’re doing a majority of the household work and childcare plus working full time and you no longer love your spouse…they become just another stressor…then big surprise, the women ask for divorce.” This comment received hundreds of likes and loves. “With the women I know who initiated divorce, a…
“It is good for a man not to touch a woman” (1 Corinthians 7:1). God created us. He knows that touching members of the opposite sex gets the motors running. It’s good for young couples to have strict boundaries in place before marriage in order to stay sexually pure. “Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband” (1 Corinthians 7:2). Marriage is God’s design to prevent fornication. If a…
