https://open.substack.com/pub/marymarthamentor/p/serving-and-self-care?r=375hd6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web I blogged about it. How do you balance service and self-care? My answer is: you don't. Based on Matthew 6, we are not to take thought for our lives but seek the Kingdom first. God...

Even though it's suffering and it feels uncomfortable, keep me dependent on You, God

We in our flesh think the person who submits is lesser than the one who is submitted to and the person who serves is less than the one who is served. Yet Jesus said 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. (Matthew 23:11) And Paul said this of Jesus Let this mind be in...

I disagree. When Paul gave an opinion, he specified that it was so. I believe this. 2 Timothy 3:16 King James Version 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: If this is not true, it becomes...

I call that hypocrisy. I was a hypocrite myself so I get it. But it's wrong.

What tenets do you mean specifically? The Bible does say Christians should submit to one another. That does not cancel out the roles of husbands and wives. 1 Corinthians 11:3 King James Version 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the...

We still share a car, my husband and I. It's not that living on one income comes without sacrifices. We just find it so worth it. The stress of me also working outside the home is not worth an extra car to pay for and maintain. The thing about life is that you can't have it all but you can...

I saw a similar man commenting on Youtube except he was 43, never married. Gen Z (my generation) men are becoming more conservative but the women are very liberal still.

Thanks! Thats like my teen sister-in-law I mentioned. She hates traveling.

All people everywhere are getting swayed by beliefs. I'm saying some beliefs promote health, family, community, and fulfillment more than others. Scripture is the belief that promotes this but due to modern values and the erasure of gender roles, key verses are being ignored. Including the...

Biblical patriarchy is. In the context of marriage, Ephesians 5 calls men to honor their wives and be willing to lay down their lives for them. Wives are to obey their husbands and have reverence for them. This is also patriarchy. Male leadership is just them taking responsibility for the well...

Love, Honor, And Respect Are Gifts "The way a husband treats his wife is an indicator of the depth of his love, respect and reverence for God. A husband’s love for his wife is gift to her that springs from his love, obedience and reverence for Christ. A wife cannot force her husband to obey God...

In the early years of my marriage, my husband was a new Christian with some very bad behaviour patterns. However, my responses to this, I think I'll always regret to some degree. My responses and willingness to separate for months at a time revealed how I wasn't fully invested in the marriage...

A Wife's Beautiful Response To Her Husband's drug addiction "But as someone going through an extreme situation, I’d like to say God’s Word and commands for us as wives still apply (maybe in a slightly different form, but they still apply), and your posts are still an incredible blessing! My...

Love this. I'd sacrifice vacations for a life I don't need a vacation from! I feel like we all need to live our lives at a pace and in a way that gives breathing room.

What's ironic is that I have way more control over my life as a housewife than I ever did doing an egalitarian style marriage where I tried to also advance my career. I control how many hours I work in a day. I can blast the music I want. I actually do get paid. I live essentially bill...

It's true that patriarchy defined what women should do just like it defines what men should and shouldn't do. What I'm saying is that what feminists define as liberation is bondage in the eyes of God. Scripture also tells men and women what they should do. Feminists may not all think the same...

Yet feminists have had plenty to say on what women and women in relationship should and shouldn't be doing. There is no neutral opinionless zone in the culture. Not one person ever suggested Id be happy as a homemaker or even that I didn't need college education to be a happy successful adult.

What do you mean by "keeping a woman down exactly"? Im saying that is a modern interpretation of gender roles and that doesn't line up with most men and women of the past. Were women just disrespected as workers before feminism? I need proof. I plan on doing a deep dive into women's lives in...
