A woman asked me recently about writing a book for singles. “What about a book how to date for singles? The dos and don’ts in terms of dating for marriage for women, for what to look for in a man, topics to talk about to determine if we have compatible values, prayer examples for discernment, guidance, heartbreak, etc. There’s a lot on how to be a good Christian wife, but not a lot of information for single Christian women wanting…
Recently, I was sent this email from a Pastor: Lori, I very much appreciate all that you do to help women understand proper biblical gender roles. Teaching biblical gender roles is also a big part of my preaching ministry. In my preaching and teaching on this subject, I find it is the women who have the hardest time accepting what the Bible says. I had an idea that may help women in this area. I do not know if you…
Written by Ken For those who are still wondering what this blog is all about, it can perhaps be summed up in one word, “Family.” There is nothing more important than family when it comes to our lives and relationships, especially our relationship with God. Not only is God going about His business of creating a family of God who will love, serve, and glorify Him for an eternity, but God is using this life for our childhood as He…
On Twitter recently, there’s a lot of talk about Bathsheba being raped. The Bible doesn’t say she was raped, but I didn’t have a strong opinion about it either way until I figured out that it was feminists spreading this rumor for the purpose of dismantling Patriarch. They will argue that men can’t be the ones in authority since it usually results in abuse of some type. Therefore, they must do a lot of twisting of Scripture to come to…
There’s a lot of disagreements of women’s roles in the churches. The Apostle Paul made it extremely clear with what our roles are. I decided to look up what the commentaries of old wrote about 1 Timothy 2:12: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, not to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” “The whole purpose of these weighty admonitions of the great founder of the Gentile Churches relegates Christian women to their own legitimate…
One woman named Dr. Jennifer Rubin tweeted this recently: “This is the daycare costs for two children in Seattle during the month of July. Please tell me how grad students and postdocs are able to afford childcare.” The cost is $5,922.00. Then many responded to her about other countries giving mothers up to two years of paid leave and free childcare. Jennifer also retweeted this by Dr. Sarah Odell: “I would like to remind everyone that while childcare is important…
The day after Roe v Wade was overturned, Beth Moore responded to Karen Swallow Prior’s tweet. Here is what Karen wrote: “Our work now is just starting: we must help and support moms, dads, and babies. Love them all – and in so doing making abortion unimaginable.” Beth responded, and it’s the ONLY thing she has written on this topic: “Yes, step up, church. Take responsibility for the fact that pro-life is either pro-all-life – which is in step with…
“When the family shall no longer have a head, and the great foundation for the subjection of children in the mother’s example is gone; when the mother shall have found another sphere than her home for her energies; when she shall have exchanged the sweet charities of domestic love and sympathy for the fierce passions of the hustings [political campaigning]; when families shall be disrupted at the caprice [impulse] of either party, and the children scattered as foundlings[abandoned infant] from…
ADVICE ON MARRIAGE TO YOUNG LADIES Do not marry at all. But if you must avoid the Beauty Men, Flirts, and the Bounders, Tailor’s Dummies, and the Football Enthusiasts. Look for a Strong, Tame Man, a Fire-lighter, Coal-getting, Window Cleaner, and Yard Swiller. Don’t except too much, most men are lazy, selfish, thoughtless, lying, drunken, clumsy, heavy-footer, rough, unmanly brutes, and need taming. All Bachelors are, and many are worse still. If you want him to be happy, Feed the…
Shared By Lindsay Harold on her Facebook page Here’s a rather humorous and helpful list of tips for wives from the 1970’s, published in the Dear Abby column. This was mainstream advice back in the day but utterly taboo today. I only came across them because I saw someone, with a rather large internet following and a ministry specifically geared toward Christian married women, saying some of these made her nauseous. That makes no sense as these are very sensible…
