3Wives, in the same way, accept the authority of your husbands, so that, even if some of them do not obey the word, they may be won over without a word by their wives’ conduct, 2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. ~ 1 Peter 3:1-7 I will be honest with you, ladies. I must be honest with you. …
Years ago, Elisabeth Elliot (1926-2015) popularized this old poem I hope it blesses you today as it does me. Times are turbulent and uncertain but we can trust in our Savior through it all. From an old English parsonage down by the seaThere came in the twilight a message to me;Its quaint Saxon legend, deeply engraven,Hath, it seems to me, …
“They fail to see that they wound the string to begin with. They fail to see that they lived life without their children.”
Kristi Noem has good public policy. But she promotes gender confusion and is a terrible role model for women. Let it be said. Amy Coney Barrett will not abolish abortion (as we wish) and will not even stand against homosexuality, yet is the chosen God-send of the Republican party. We are so hoodwinked by the game played with our own …
Are you expecting your circumstances to change before you become content? Do you say to yourself that if he would only do this or she wouldn’t do this, or if we lived here, or I could buy this or that, then I would be happy? Well, hard truth here. Are you ready for it?

Thomas Watson, The Art of Divine Contentment, page 58: “It is a sign there is some good in you. The applause of the wicked, usually denotes some evil in us—and their censure usually imports some good in us. (Psalm 38:20) David wept and fasted, and that was turned to his ‘reproach’.

I will be quoting a very beloved book by Thomas Watson by the name of “The Art of Divine Contentment.” As a Titus 2 woman, married thirty-eight years, who loves the Lord above all, I cannot recommend this book enough. It will challenge you and possibly even anger you, but if your face is set like flint to honor God in all you do, think, and say, then this book, with its saturation of Scripture, will grow you …
One mother shared with me that the most hurtful comments have come from the church. What a failure that Christians that share this same destructive mindset and hatred for children! This shows that rather than the church pushing back darkness we are a lamp with a basket over it. If the church feels like this about children how can we expect the world to feel? How can we expect unbelievers to not want to murder their own preborn babies?
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh- Matthew 19:5 KJV and said, ‘FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH ‘?- Matthew 19:5 NASB The title, …
