Many will argue that love is a feeling. I wrote this on my Facebook page the other day: “There is no such thing as ‘falling in love.’ Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. This is the definition of love. It has nothing to do with emotions and feelings which come and go. True love doesn’t, because it’s a commitment, a decision, a choice until death do you part.” Many, many disagreed with me since most think that love has to do with…
Written By Ken The attempt to save mankind with blood has gone on since the beginning of time. It is against all odds that man continues to not only live, but to thrive in this world, surviving pestilence, plagues, and wars. If that is not enough, evil rulers have wiped out millions of their own people all for power, and diseases of all sorts have made the average age of man just fifty short years this last millennium. Now, here…
Yesterday morning, I read this verse: “Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (2 Timothy 2:3). Many people are going through difficult times right now. Mothers are caring for their sick children. They are woken up in the middle of the night often. They aren’t feeling well themselves. Their husbands are struggling under the weight of not being able to work. Money is becoming scarce. Things of this world look frightening. Yet, we are told to…
God commands older women to teach young women to love their husbands and children and be keepers at home (Titus 2:3-5). He commands that young widows marry, bear children, and guide the home (1 Timothy 5:14). It seems to me that God’s will for young women is to marry, bear children, and guide the home, therefore, I will continue to teach this since His will is best. Most young women are very well prepared to be career women but ill-prepared…
A few people have scolded me for “enjoying” what is happening to America right now. Am I enjoying it? I know without a doubt that God is allowing this to happen. He is sovereign over all. He promises us that ALL things work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. He commands that we walk by faith instead of by fear. We are to trust Him and know that He uses our…
Written By Ken As the Corona virus whacks this country and the rest of world, I cannot help but think about the parallels between it and Christian marriages. Christian marriages appear to be suffering from multiple flu-like symptoms which find their way to the comment section of this ministry. We wish we had a cure for these particular marriage viruses, but because there appears to be no cure in sight, the only hope is to try and protect the ministry…
“Women should be required to stay home permanently after this. Give their jobs, which they now don’t have, to some fathers and husbands who need them. God finally forced what is natural because women won’t choose to do it. And they are all finding out they don’t HAVE to work. Yank the money away, and they are still surviving on one income. No more excuses.” This was a comment from a man on my Facebook page. His comment has a…
A comment by Mother Dearest on the post Christian Men Going Their Own Wrong Way It’s a matter of urgency, Christians, both men and women need to be disabused of the fanciful notion that suffering in this life is avoidable. No amount of spouse vetting can guarantee a successful marriage, yet God says it is not good for the man to be alone. In fact, in 1 Timothy 4:1-3, one of the doctrines of demons to come in the latter…
Written by Darrow Miller in Above Rubies Magazine One thing a woman is especially designed to do is nurture the next generation. Woman, in the very fiber of her being, was made to nurture. In our modern materialistic culture, things are more important than relationships. The woman’s ability to nurse and nurture a child has very little cachet. As a result, families are dissolving. Children may be provided with things but know little of a mother’s nurture. We are reaping…
Undoubtedly, whenever I write about women being keepers at home and raising their own children, I receive comments from women about how wrong I am to teach this, and then proceed to give me all of the exceptions as if their exceptions negate the truth and what is best for the children. Here is a case in point from my Facebook page: Krystal Rasmussen wrote: “What does it say about women in the workforce? Well, Lori, some of us have…
