If you’ve been following along with our weekly study through my Juggling Life’s Responsibilities book, it’s time to pull it out and read through chapter 3, “Thinking Biblically.” In this chapter, I urge my readers to resist the gradual assault of this world on their senses. I encourage them how to bring their thinking, philosophy [...]
Is It Worth It?

Today’s post is simply a quote from my book, Juggling Life’s Responsibilities (pp. 34-36). We’ve spent several weeks now taking a quick overview of the roles God gives to women in His Word. He says He created us to be helpers to our husbands, mothers of children, managers of our homes, and ministers to the [...]

Honestly, it’s with a little bit of fear and trepidation that I approach — yet again — the topic of submission in marriage.

I have discovered four roles that God, through His Word, instructs women to play: Helper to man, Mother of children, Manager of a home, and Minister to the world. This is a quote from my book, Juggling Life’s Responsibilities (pp. 23-24). Did [...]
