Women that love the Heart of God and live life on His terms
It is painful to witness a young child ordering his parents around. The only thing more painful is to witness the child’s parents (many times professing Christians) awkwardly smile and give in to the child’s demand. Sometimes you can hear parents negotiate with the child, attempting to get him to “speak politely” to them. I recall my children’s faces when they would see this dynamic … [Read more...]
Martha Peace in the Introduction to her book Becoming a Titus 2 Woman says, A Titus 2 woman is an older, mature Christian woman who teaches and encourages younger women. Her ministry is based on the Scripture passage in Titus 2:3-5. It seemed to me that every Christian woman regardless of age or marital status should aspire to become a Titus 2 Woman. Most churches today are woefully lacking … [Read more...]
I received a call the other day from a woman who had watched ECF’s Post-Abortion Outreach video announcing The Road That Takes Me Home CD project. This project is designed to connect women who have abortion in their past to pregnancy counseling services especially geared toward post-abortive women. She shared with me her surprise at the effect it had on her. This woman had her … [Read more...]
Back in the early 1980s when the practice of homeschooling began to surface as an alternative to customary day-school options, the sentiments of many were less than favorable. Homeschooling parents were warned that they would tire of the endeavor, that their children’s educational progress would be hampered, that they would grow up unable to successfully interact with others, and that success as … [Read more...]
I've have been heartbroken by the devastation caused by the tornadoes in Alabama this past week. Viewing what is left of houses and trees in the path of the tornado is very sobering. I'm filled with gratitude for all I have: my family, my home and all the wonderful gifts the Lord in His mercy has bestowed on me. I have wedding gifts, photos, keep sakes like baby hand prints and first locks of … [Read more...]
We live in a world that is preoccupied and obsessed with outward appearances. Media and advertising have set an unrealistic standard with computer generated images and videos that produce a flawless beauty. See comment below on self-image/esteem. We are daily bombarded with these distorted images of a counterfeit beauty and because of that our minds have been conditioned to see … [Read more...]
I once asked Dr. Rushdoony if he could sum up Christian Reconstruction. His response surprised me. He said, “Christian Reconstruction is the reading of Scripture with the understanding that every word in it is a command word of God telling us how we should live.” I was expecting something much more complicated than that. When viewed that way, it becomes harder and harder to … [Read more...]

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one … [Read more...]
One of the delights of this post-homeschooling mother/teacher is having the opportunity to counsel and mentor women who’ve undertaken the God-ordained task of raising their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Most of my sessions take place over Skype. I choose to make them audio rather than video calls so that neither party has to be too concerned with how the … [Read more...]
One instrument out of tune in an orchestra mars the music which breaks upon the ears of the listeners. One discordant life in a household mars the perfectness of the music of love in the family. We should make sure that our life is not the one that is out of tune. A woman may have many excellent qualities, and may do much good, but if there is one out-of-tune note in her life, if there is a … [Read more...]
