Are marriage retreats or classes worth attending? I venture to say that most of them aren’t. Here’s what one woman wrote who loved her marriage class: “We attend a marriage class that lays a case that most of what we are taught in conservative Christian churches is not actually biblical – instead, it’s cultural. I can’t explain all of it in this format, but it boils down to two things. First: husbands are commanded to love their wives the way…
Written By Ken and Lori We wanted Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio to win the primary. We never thought President Trump would win the way he mocked people and the things he said. However, when he did win the primary, we voted for him because we were hoping he would be a much better president than Hillary, even though we weren’t sure he was a Republican. We both like President Trump as our president a lot. Many Christians still can’t…
Written By Nancy Campbell From Above Rubies The Lord, in His holy Scriptures, calls children blessings. He calls them a reward. Why would we not want a reward from the Lord? Would we refuse any other reward from Him? A bigger house? A newer car? There are no Scriptures supporting the use of birth control. The only mention of any sort of birth control (deliberately preventing a child from being conceived), follows with the Lord killing the man who committed…
There are too many children who are being left to themselves. Their parents aren’t disciplining, nor are they training their children. They have fallen for the “gentle parenting” movement. They refuse to say “no” to their children or tell them what they should do. They want them to have a “free spirit” so when they are biting, hitting, and pulling out other children’s hair, their response is, “They’ll grow out of it.” This is testing God. This is playing Russian…
Written By Anonymous Fundamentally, the primary premise of God’s Word is about building the family of God. Would you agree? God made man and woman and asked that they join together as one to create the next generation of godly offspring. In doing so, we have a choice in who we marry, but once married, we are to join together as a family unit to achieve God’s primary purpose which is to give Him children who will love Him and…
When I began writing for my blog almost nine years ago, I had no aspirations of going big. Here’s my first blog post: Correction Versus Criticism. I knew I wasn’t a good writer but I LOVED to teach. I always have since I was little. There was a young woman I had been mentoring who was a new believer and she was moving away. I began the blog for her. I wanted to keep mentoring her through my blog. I…
“We now tell women that they can have it all, that they can work and have a family and deserve to be sexually satisfied. And then when having it all is miserable and overwhelming or they realize marriage isn’t all it’s cracked it up to be, maybe having affairs is the new plan B.” This is from an article called Why So Many Women Cheat on Their Husbands. Women are cheating on their husbands almost as much as husbands are…
Yesterday morning, I received an email from Facebook supposedly. In it, I was told that my Facebook page “The Transformed Wife” was going to be deleted. They told me I have two days to make an appeal. They gave a link to the URL facebook.com which sent me to a place where I could make an appeal so I did. Truthfully, at that moment, I was devastated. I know in the scheme of everything happening in the world and even…
“If Jesus spent three years pouring into Judas’ life, what are the implications for Christians and ‘cutting toxic people out’ of their lives” (Barnabas Piper). I agree with him and I am going to try to argue from a biblical perspective and an illustration. I have heard mostly women write or say this about “toxic” people in their lives and I always wondered if it was biblical. The Apostle Paul wrote this: “I wrote unto you in an epistle not…
Do women naturally have a desire to control their husband? According to Genesis 3:16, they do and it happened right after the Fall. When I teach women to not deprive their husbands sexually, they come up with all types of excuses why they shouldn’t have to do this. The majority of these excuses are simply another way to control their husbands. When I teach women to submit to their husbands, they will come up with all types of exceptions that…
