“Dear Lori, I have found your blog in recent weeks and have spent a great deal of time going through it. I think your doctrine is sound but sometimes I just can’t fathom how to live this way. I am a man, turned 21 and in flight school, and men are very wicked. “Do you know how many men in the world beat their wives mercilessly? Men rape and steal and kill. Our nature is aggressive, and it causes us…
A man on Facebook named Dr. K. N. Jacob wrote the following: “If you are not attracted to him, DON’T MARRY HIM. “It’s never too late to get married. Marriage matters, never act out of panic. It’s better to be single than with a man you are not attracted to. The primary purpose of marriage is intimacy. Companionship can be found with your family and friends. Children can be adopted. “A lot of ladies past 30 years make this blunder…
Many are worried about the future these days. We have a wicked tyrant as our president with an evil agenda to destroy America. It can all seem so frightening and overwhelming, can’t it? Michael Pearl wrote four great articles years ago on How to Survive the Coming Apocalypse. “Now, it seems like I have gotten away from my subject of preparing for hard times, but I haven’t. I just want to testify that the dark curtain coming down over our…
Many try to argue that the authority structure between men and women only happened after the Fall but was completely done away with in Christ. Both assumptions are completely false. In Wayne Grudem’s book Systematic Theology, he clearly explains the authority structure before the Fall. I will summarized them. Adam was created first, then Eve. The reasons for women being silent in the church even goes back to this fact in 1 Timothy 2:13. Eve was created as Adam’s help…
Women tend to look at what worked for them rather than examining the big picture. This is why I am not a fan of the 19th amendment. I will give you a few examples. College. Whenever I speak against college, undoubtedly there will be women who will tell me they met their husbands at college and have a back-up plan in case something happened to their husbands. This is great BUT look at the big picture! College has wreaked havoc…
Years ago when my children were teenagers, I read through these journals of a mother who had nine children. I loved learning from her! She was a godly woman who loved her husband and children. However, I came to the part where she wrote about sleeping with her children (like four would be in their bed at one time) and never sleep-training them. She felt that those who didn’t have a family bed but did sleep train their children were…
Written By Nancy Campbell in her Magazine Above Rubies Deception has taken hold of our culture in much greater ways. Things that were abhorrent in the secular word are now often accepted in the Christian world. The gross darkness of sin is creeping over the earth. Now is the time to shine brighter than ever, to speak the truth more boldly, to rise up and reveal the glory of God more fully. In this day when most mothers continue to…
An Instagram page called “Raising Teens Today” shared a quote by Komal Shahid: “Make your daughter so capable that you don’t have to worry about who will marry her. Instead of saving money for her wedding day, spend it well on her education. Instead of preparing her for marriage, prepare her for herself. Teach her self-love and confidence.” It had almost 13,000 likes. “Make your daughter so capable that you don’t have to worry about who will marry her.” God…
Women believe their husbands should meet their emotional needs, whatever that means. Here’s what Psychology Today said about this: “The idea of ’emotional needs’ is one of the more harmful notions of pop psychology. The term came into popular discourse in the 1980s, as part of what is known as the culture of self-obsession, which has grown steadily, as scores on measures of narcissism indicate.” I am not a fan of psychology, but I agree with this completely. I tried…
Dr. KN Jacob made a video about Seven Reasons Why Men Leave Their Wives After Many Years Together. It was excellent! I am going to summarize his points and add some of my own. I have seen marriages end after many, many years of being together. It harms the adult children just as much as it would have if the parents divorced earlier. Divorce has long-term consequences to the next generations. Women, do all you can to keep your marriages…
