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 [...]

Many people have posited that the “Achilles heel” of the homeschool movement is the failure of the parents to pass on their vision and convictions to their children. The parents may give their children a stellar education and protect them from evil influences and brainwashing, but their children seem to “fall down on the job” [...]

I am stuck on a conundrum, and it’s making me reflect, About a troubling weakness, and a character defect. It’s one that often plagues me, and it plagues some friends of mine, I’m speaking of the painful message sent when we’re not kind. The greatest act of kindness in all of history Was modeled by [...]

Recently I spoke at a ladies’ retreat and made this point: “You older ladies (we’re all older to someone) are teaching the younger ones whether it’s deliberate or not”. Question is, what are we teaching? If you believe the maxim, “As the church, so goes the nation“, we have a heavy responsibility and we’re largely to blame [...]

I’m giving away five copies of my book Queen of the Home: Essays, Poetry and Quotes on the Honor, Power and Nobility of Biblical Womanhood In past generations, the role of wife and mother was viewed as a sacred calling.

Modest clothing is beautiful. While we each have slightly different perspectives on what is ugly, as Christian women we should try and dress in a way that is beautiful. Not elaborate or decadent or seductive, as I said, but beautiful. Carolyn Mahaney says, “[B]ecause we are created in the image of our Creator, each of [...]

[Editor's Note: This is a post from the original LAF site that I meant to bring over to the new one but forgot. After a couple of reader requests, I managed to locate the original file. This is excellent material and illustrates why robust biblical womanhood negates any "need" for feminism. Women are already "empowered" thanks [...]

“Everyone I know is getting married or engaged!” “I sure wish I had a “SPECIAL” friendship like…” “I am already 19 (or 22 or 35) and I don’t even have a serious boyfriend or suitor!” “I thought for SURE I’d be married right after graduating High School!” “Maybe I should try E-Harmony or something so [...]

As we pointed out in our last post, Princess Merida is a pretty conventional tomboy. However, “Brave” does not present a conventional happily-ever-after: its Disney princess is the first ever to not get a prince. From the beginning to the end, she is all the man she needs. …Which is handy, because in her world, [...]
