Years ago, I was sitting at the lunch table with a handful of the teachers where I taught. I was pregnant at the time. Every single woman at the table admitted that they regretted having children. (This reminded me of one of my bridesmaids coming to me on my wedding day telling me she regretted getting married!) I was shocked! I couldn’t imaging regretting having children. My mom loved having and raising children. I was looking so forward to it….
People have accused me of being a Pelagian even when I had no idea what it meant. Years ago, we attended a week long conference with Michael Pearl teaching Hebrews. It was fantastic! I went on to listen to all of his teachings of many of the books in the New Testament. I love his teachings. Do I agree with him 100 percent? No, but I don’t agree with anyone 100 percent, and I bet you don’t either. He is…
Written By Michael Pearl The utopitarians are trying to establish what God has already promised to institute, a kingdom of peace and happiness in a paradise where all share in the bounty of a renewed earth. They, too, want that kingdom, but since there is no god to determine man’s destiny, it is up to them to institute this kingdom. They abort babies to prevent increased population from placing further stress on an already overtaxed planet. They must purge society…
Do husbands nag their wives? There are three verses in Proverbs about nagging, quarrelsome wives: Proverbs 21:9 – It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. Proverbs 21:19 – It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. Proverbs 27:15 – A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Proverbs 25:24 – It is better…
“In a family the husband needs the wife to prepare his food; to make, mend, and wash his clothes; to fetch water; and to keep the rooms and furniture in the house clean. The wife needs the husband to till the soil, to build and repair the house, and to earn money to buy the goods they need. God has put into a man’s heart the capacity to love his wife, and into a woman’s heart the capacity to love…
Before 1960, women couldn’t abort their babies lawfully, therefore, unborn babies were protected in their mothers’ wombs. The majority of women didn’t attend college before the sixties. Most of them were married at a young age, began having children since birth control wasn’t widely used nor available, and were full-time homemakers. Marriage was sacred back then. Most people married, and they married for life. Divorce was rare. Children were raised in two parent homes. The husbands worked hard to provide…
Is it sinful for married couples to choose not to have children? God commands we be fruitful and multiply. (Genesis 1:28; Genesis 9:1) The purpose of marriage is to produce godly offspring. (Malachi 2:15) Happy is the man who has a quiver full. (Psalm 127:5) He makes the barren woman to keep house and be a joyful mother of children. (Psalm 113:9) Women are saved (find true fulfillment) in childbearing. (1 Timothy 2:15) Got Questions responds to this verse in…
“Hi Lori, Could you tell me how you did sleep training with your children, why you did it that way, and how you kept intimacy alive with your husband when you had young children. You are a blessing. Thanks in advance. Latisha” Hi Latisha, My first baby cried almost every waking moment the first three months of her life. It was exhausting. I needed my sleep desperately. I wonder if a lot of mothers get post-partum depression due to lack…
Today I turn 63. I love celebrating my birthdays and growing older. I am thankful to have lived for another birthday. I almost died at 45 years old from a brain tumor that causes sodium wasting disease. I almost died from it a few times since then, but God wasn’t finished with me yet. I am thankful I was able to finish raising my precious children. I am thankful I was able to dance with my sons at their weddings…
“Hi Lori, After a long time trying, the Lord has blessed my husband and me with our first child. As you are a wise, God-fearing woman whose judgement I trust, I’m writing to you ask if you have any advice for this pregnancy or any resources you would recommend I read. Lily” Hi Lily, For pregnancy, you simply need to eat as healthy as you can. I would recommend not using anything toxic to clean with or putting anything toxic…
