“Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand” (Philippians 4:5). We live in a culture of excess. Most of us buy and have too much stuff. We have too much clothing. We eat too much. We spend too much time on social media. Some drink too much and watch TV too much. Most of us aren’t known for our moderation but God tells us that we should be known for it. What is moderation? “Let…
It was heartbreaking to see so many Christian women claim that this man who had sex with his wife in the middle of the night without her consent, agreeing with the masses that he had raped her. Where is grace in the marriage? Where is forgiveness, bearing with him, and enduring all things as clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 13? Where is a biblical marriage? This happens one time and most of the women jumped on the worldly train claiming…
Last April, I made a video called Should Wives Have Sex With Their Husbands When They Don’t Feel Like It? It was viewed by many, and many were very angry with me and accused me of promoting marital rape because a woman wrote to me and told me her husband asked to have sex with her one night. She told him no but found him having sex with her in the middle of the night. She asked if this was…
With social media so prevalent and overwhelming, it’s hard not for young women to become discouraged and discontent with their lives. They see women making videos of their perfectly clean and decorated homes, making meals from scratch, having big and bountiful gardens, homeschooling their well behaved children, and making a ton of money from the business they run out of their homes. I want to tell you all that no one can do everything perfectly. It’s impossible. Don’t believe everything…
Women from socialist countries have tried to convince me that living in a socialist country is great! They have many months off after having a baby. They have free daycare and everything else. They have it made, right? Here’s from a woman who lives in a socialist country: “I live in a place where most women work. There is ‘excellent’ childcare in my country which means they’re in free education from the age of two and a half years old….
Women have asked me if it’s okay to work once their children are in school. What does God’s Word have to say about this? God commands young women be keepers at home. Period. Children always need a full-time mother. I was a full-time teacher for the first two years of my oldest daughter’s life. I can tell you that I didn’t feel like I was a good teacher, a good mother, nor a good wife. We were never created to…
“We need to stop framing equality as a nice bonus to a happy marriage. It is the bare minimum. Inequality is not inevitable. It’s not just the way men are, or a minor inconvenience. It’s time women listen to their own needs and value their own work. Household chore inequality exacts a real toll on our health and well-being. It is abuse. Like other forms of abuse, it exploits one person for the other’s gain. And like other forms of…
A woman wrote an email asking me these questions so I thought I would make a blog post out of them. 1. What do you think of infertile women who choose to have a career because they can’t have children? It’s not what I think; it’s what God commands. Just because a woman is infertile doesn’t mean she has to have a career. There were many women in the Old Testament who were infertile for a long time (Sarah, Rebekah,…
All throughout God’s Word, we see the different roles between the sexes. God didn’t hide this from us but clearly delineated between the sexes! He chose men to be the leaders throughout His Word. He created Adam first. Then He chose men to be the Patriarchs, Priests, Prophets, Kings, the forerunner of Christ (John the Baptist), Christ Himself, the Disciples (Apostles), the Authors of the Bible, Elders, and Deacons. As I have been reading through 1 Timothy, something else stood…
Beth Moore tweeted this the other day: “My basic take on life thus far: If tons of folks say one thing and Jesus says another, I’d pretty well go with Jesus on it.” Sounds good, doesn’t it? But later, she clarified what she meant by writing: “No, I was not subtweeting the apostle but I would like to say something here. I believe wholeheartedly that ALL Scripture is inspired by God. Authoritative. Truth. But the persons themselves – Paul and…
