Hospitality On the Tongue
Your family ought to be the primary recipients of your ministry of hospitality. God has entrusted you with the especial care of your husband and children (or eldery parents or in-laws or whoever else may dwell within the four walls of the place you call home). It is always important, as Christians, to reach out to guests, neighbors, strangers--but never to the neglect of those nearest and dearest.

"A Lady's Choice"
Miss Lydia Slatton has written a beautiful, moving poem for all of us, reminding us that, without Christ, we are nothing and can do nothing. This poem is a wonderful affirmation of
Christ's beauty and holiness, which He freely gives us, His children. Thank you, Lydia, for writing this wonderful poem!

Is Openness to Children Essential to Godly Marriage?
In recent years, I have
heard many differing opinions on procreation and it's relationship to
marriage. Let's assume that a couple is both young and healthy enough
to procreate. They've fallen in love. They're ready for a lifelong
commitment. They get married. Generally, at this point, the marriage
will be consummated through sexual intercourse. Does procreation have a
place, yet? According to God, Holy Scripture, and the Church, the
answer ought to be yes. For many couples, however, the answer is no. [

The Prodigal Father: Loving the Unrepentant Sinner
As Christians who serve this
incredible God of love, we are called to be like Him, to forgive each
other as we have been forgiven (Matt. 6:12, Luke 7:27-42). Moreover, we
are to forgive anyone who asks us, not just once, but as often as they
turn to us for forgiveness (Matt. 18:21-22).

Dedicated Daughters Series
Encouragement for the home-focused young woman in an unsupportive environment. The purpose of these posts is to encourage and support those young women with passion for family, home, and femininity; women who desire with all their hearts to dedicate their single years to studying the arts of homemaking - but can't hope to receive understanding and support from those who surround them.

Wasting time in relationships that lead nowhere
Our culture pressures us to start relationships early, and date
aimlessly. A 16-year-old girl is pressured by her peers and encouraged
by her parents to have a boyfriend, when it's clear to everyone it will
probably not lead to marriage. This is supposed to give us "valuable
experience". She is supposed to "practice" the sacred relationship she
will have with her husband, knowing it's not for real and won't last,
then throw it away and begin new "practice" with someone else! I don't
know anything more senseless and ridiculous. Yet this is so common
nowadays people don't even think about it anymore. [

Cultivating The Rich Christian Home
The rich full life that can consist only in a Christian home is available to me and everyone else with Christ as its center. As a Christian home we should be the role models to this perishing world and NOT imitate it. The world fills its time with empty pursuits and busyness to fill the void that only Christ can fill. Our homes should be the model of the beauty, rest and joy which radiates from our Saviour!!!! What is your home radiating today? Believe me, it matters to Christ.

Role Models for Young Women
Recently,
I have been pondering the influences that young girls and young women
have been surrounded by, in the media. A few extremely "popular" females
come to mind: Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and many other
young women that are having devastating effects on the younger female
generation.... One of my favorite passages in the whole bible is found
in Proverbs 31, in fact I even use it as the verse for my e-mail
signature. Proverbs
31:30 "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth
the LORD, she shall be praised. Today, I looked up the
definition of favor in the Strong's exhaustive concordance, it
translates as follows: grace, charm, elegance, and strangely enough,
acceptance
. How
interesting. So, the Bible clearly tells us that seeking after
"acceptance" is deceitful. That's worth saying again! Wanting to be
accepted or popular is deceitful! That is what these girls are chasing,
acceptance and popularity. This powerful little passage in Proverbs 31,
provides us with a very precious promise. It tells us that if anyone
wants a guaranteed way of being praised, they can simply choose to fear
the Lord.

In the Shadow
It seems to me that the majority of people believe that humbleness is
not an asset. Many want the spotlight, to be the focus, to be center
ring. They want attention, fame, and glory. I suppose it could be
argued that this is a result of a culture obsessed with self, but I
tend to believe it has much more to do with the human condition. We
reject God's awesome sovereignty and, instead, do our best scramble up
onto a man-made throne... only to inevitably topple off later.

SAHM---Not Enough, or Everything?
Why do we feel that being a stay-at-home mom is not enough? Why do we insist on filling our time with "extracurricular" activities? As a stay at home mom, I don't want to be just a working mom without a
job. Don't get me wrong; yes, what I'm doing is work. But one reason
I'm staying home is to do just that; to care for my home, my husband,
my child. I can't do that if I'm running here and there all day, every
day.

Catching A Vision
Do you have a vision
for your life, or do you simply flounder around and follow the world's
trends hoping to find joy and fulfillment? Without a clear, Biblical
vision for your life you are groping around in the dark, searching, but
never finding. As women we are bombarded by the world's messages of
what happiness is and how it is attained, but what does the Bible have
to say about it?

Children - fruit of love in the holiness of marriage
A few months ago, when my now-husband and I were in the midst of wedding preparations, I faced more than one pair of raised eyebrows and the question, "are you
really
going to have a baby right away?" - implying that it would be riskier than bungee jumping and more reckless than drunk driving. I know we're not alone, too - not long ago, I received an email from a young lady who, only a few weeks before her upcoming wedding, received dire warnings from family members telling her it would be unwise to have a baby as a newly married couple, and that she should "just enjoy married life" first.

The Blessing of Inequality
Husband and wife were never
meant to lead their own private lives in parallel, sharing a home but
splitting the chores evenly, keeping score. Not only can we never come
out equal, both because the value of any thing or task is relative and
because each human being is uniquely gifted and challenged, but husband
and wife were never intended to be two reflections of the same thing.
They were meant to be complementary individuals who
joined together to
complete each other: "They will become one flesh."
