This is a wonderful post from the gals at Femina: The happiest marriage in the world is not happy because there was nothing to resent. It is happy because the giving, forgiveness, love, and respect that are cultivated are like citronella plants to the mosquitos of bitterness and resentment. When you are loving the Lord [...]

Last weekend, I was glad to participate in another wedding and to have the joy of giving a message. It was the wedding of Jordan Muela and Sarah Mendenhall in Indiana. As I was meditating on Ephesians 5:22-33 before the wedding, it struck me again that this passage is the most pro-female document ever drafted. [...]

Those of us who live and work full-time within our homes and communities – as women have always done, but for the short period of modern history – now often have to deal with questions such as were posed in a comment I received last week: “Being a stay home mom is great until husband [...]

“Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?” Matthew 6:27 So it is useless to worry! A short person cannot, by any amount of anxiety, make himself an inch taller. Why, therefore, should he waste his energy and fret his life away–in wishing he were taller? One worries because he is too short–another [...]

“Well, we couldn’t have much worse weather than this for the last week of school, could we?” Margaret Paget said in discouragement. She stood at one of the school windows, her hands thrust deep in her coat pockets for warmth, her eyes following the whirling course of the storm that howled outside. The day had [...]

Only women can be mothers. Have we forgotten this fundamental? Only a woman can carry in her body an eternal being which bears the very image of God. Only she is the recipient of the miracle of life. Only a woman can conceive and nurture this life using her own flesh and blood, and then [...]

Due to the modern feminist revolution, the value of women has come to be equated with their roles in the community and in the marketplace. Relatively little value is assigned to women’s roles in the home. Today, no bouquets are handed out to women for being reverent and temperate or modest and chaste or gentle [...]

I’m so thankful, among the dearth of Titus 2 women in our churches, that there are so many incredible resources available to women, through the Internet, that encourage, equip and inspire them for the Kindgom-building work of growing homes for the glory of God. But I could hardly believe, when I was asked to be [...]

Women who have following after faith for some time understand that the Christian life is a life of repentance. Continual repentance. A life of putting off the old man and putting on the new. We were saved, we’re being saved and we will continue to be saved. I was just reading this article by Scott [...]

Pro 31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. What does Proverb 31:26 look like in practice for a women who desires to walk in righteousness? At the heart of every sinner is a feminist and as we leave off the old man and put on the [...]

Spot on: Recently I came across an article called “The Death of Pretty,” in which the author laments our culture’s movement from valuing “pretty” to valuing “hot.” He describes “pretty” this way: “Once upon a time, women wanted to project an innocence. I am not idealizing another age and I have no illusions about the virtues of [...]

The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. ~Proverbs 14:1 What does home management look like for a Wise Woman? She sets a godly tone in her home – She remembers to reflect the “law of kindness on her tongue. Her words, tone of [...]

My daughter is a jabbering, vivacious toddler, but she’s not too young to be introduced to her great, great, great . . . grandma Eve. In the evenings, she gets excited about “Bible time” with Daddy and Mommy, and she looks at Bible pictures as we read her Scripture. During brief moments of reflection between diaper changes [...]

Some of the most gracious women I have met understand this principle. They are surrounded by faithful, trustworthy family and friends who are supportive of their families, their work and their ministries. How much can making praise a part of our character lend toward the building of functioning families, churches, communities and further? Try it [...]
