Partnering With a Godly Man

Always remember that you were created for him, not the other way around (1 Corinthians 11:9). Yes, I know this isn’t a very popular statement, but I firmly believe it to be a Fact of Life. Men don’t do well without us (Genesis 2:18). Continue reading “Partnering With a Godly Man”

Wonderful Womanhood

One godly man changed my life forever. My experience with him is summed up nicely with this speech [see emphasis], quoted from the 1955 film A Man Called Peter. The movie was based on the book by Catherine Marshall, wife of the future Chaplain of the U.S. Senate. Continue reading “Wonderful Womanhood”

The Tragedy of PostModern Womanhood

Submission is not a popular teaching. Distorted & dismissed as an out-dated idea. We don’t really understand it. And most pastors & counselors avoid it altogether. So we’re taught virtually nothing about it. Except that submission is “weakness.” And instead of embracing a blessing, we’ve become its fervent opponent. How did we let THAT happen?
