Every single time I write on women being keepers at home, I am asked the question, “What if my husband wants me to work outside of the home?” God has made it clear that He wants women to be “keepers at home” so they don’t blaspheme His word. “To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed” (Titus 2:5). He commands younger women to “marry, bear children, guide…
This post was written by Rusty Thomas on Father’s Day. Yes, it’s a post for men, but it says a lot to women too. “As goes the father, so goes the family, as goes the family, so goes the Church, and as goes the Church, so goes the nation.” We can look to the failure of our government, church, and culture, but the ultimate failure is traced back to the feminization of men and the masculization of women. Much of…
Last week, I shared this message and this graphic on my Facebook page. “This is a page from Debi Pearl’s book ‘Created to Be His Help Meet.’ ALL women’s Bible studies should consist of older, godly women teaching young women the doctrines of Biblical Womanhood listed on this page. Do you realize how much stronger marriages in the churches would be? How much more loved, disciplined, and trained children would be? How much more young women would enjoy homemaking and…
Written By Bonnie Myers When the Bible says, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body” “”in Ephesians”¬ “5:22-23″¬, God does not include a caveat. It doesn’t say, “unless, of course, your husband is mean and angry” or “unless your husband doesn’t treat you like you think he should.” Husbands are…
On Instagram last week, I shared this: Here are the answers I received. I wept as I read them: Struggle with poor self-esteem. Seeking love everywhere I could and being rejected, because I was too needy. I definitely search for mother figures in women I meet. (a response from a man) I was a wild teenager: alcohol, sex, and lying. My parents were clueless. My mother wasn’t there for any of my things. I now homeschool and am at all…
According to Sheila Gregoire, my teachings to women ruin sex and marriage for women. “Among those harmful teachings, she [Sheila] said, is the practice of ‘obligation sex’ in Christian marriages, which proponents like The Transformed Wife blogger, Lori Alexander, argue is good for marriages.” Then she quotes me from a video I made last month: “‘We don’t use sex to manipulate our husbands. We don’t deprive our husbands sexually. We give it to them willingly and freely, because we love…
We have too many friends our age (in their 60s) who have children that are either not married or are not having children. These friends WANT grandchildren desperately, but their children aren’t interested. Why is this? In an article called Thirty, Flirty, and (Not) Thriving, the author, Helen Roy, explains why this is happening: “This is one of the quiet tragedies of feminism and modernity: the disappearance of intergenerational female friendship. We are now reaping the bitter rewards of a…
A few weeks ago, I was watching Elisabeth Elliot teach a group of people on some topic that I don’t remember. I think it was about being a godly woman. In the class, I noticed there were men and women. When her talk was done, she said her next teaching will be to men on how to be real men. It reminded me of her speaking to men and women in our chapel service at Westmont College many years ago….
We can see it coming in our culture. Soon enough, polygamy will be accepted and celebrated. We must have good biblical arguments to defeat the wide acceptance of this practice. Yes, God did seem to allow it in the Old Testament, but is it God’s ideal? God allowed slavery, yet He never commanded, nor mandated it, and few would argue that slavery was in God’s perfect will. Biblical scholars point to the fact that God made ONE wife for Adam,…
How come so many women want to turn all of my posts on marriage into abuse? What is their intention and purpose for doing this? Yes, there are women being abused, but for the majority of women who are not, they need good, solid teaching on becoming godly wives. I asked these questions to the people on my Instagram. Here are some of the GREAT responses: I believe it’s because they want to equate abuse with submission…
