“When these passages are considered together [Is. 19:16-17; Jer. 50:36-37; 51:29-30; Nah. 3:13], we should conclude that a standard way for the prophets of God to tell a people that their military might has failed them is to say that their warriors have come to the point where they fight like women. A legitimate conclusion …
Women and Hierarchy
“In the hierarchical and biblical view, the relationship of women to men is first familial, and then as a consequence, a larger (and very complex) cultural and societal relationship between the sexes emerges. This means that wives are to submit to, and provide help to, their own husbands (and no one else). As a result …
Uppity Calvinist Women
Visionaries, In his great book Orthodoxy, Chesterton once said, “This began to be alarming. It looked not so much as if Christianity was bad enough to include any vices, but rather as if any stick was good enough to beat Christianity with.” The aptness of this observation is seen in the following missive from Angie: …
Feminism Rips Off Women
“The cultural discipline of honoring women is very important. It is no accident that feminists have succeeded in getting women treated ‘equally’ with men, and now that women are no longer singled out for honor, that the men around them just go with their lusts.

Brent and Christiana
We are assembled here in the name of Jesus Christ, and this means that we are assembled here in the presence of God. This is a Christian wedding, certainly, but not simply because it is being held in a Christian church, or because a Christian minister is officiating. Nor is it a Christian wedding just …
