HEART LINKED TO HEART

SPURGEONMARRIAGECharles Haden Spurgeon, known as “the prince of preachers” and his wife Susannah enjoyed a beautiful marriage together.
 
Spurgeon says of Marriage: “Matrimony came from paradise and leads to it. I never was half so happy before I was a married man as I am now. When you are married your bliss begins.”
 
Susannah explained marriage as “two pilgrims treading this highway of life together. Hand in hand, heart linked to heart.”

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

YourResponsibility“The home is God’s greatest agency for the transmission of His Word from one generation to another. This responsibility cannot be passed on to any other person, or persons, or to any other agency. It cannot be shirked except at painful loss to the never dying souls of the children and all concerned.”
 
~ Norman V. Williams

HOW WAS SCHOOL TODAY?

HowschoolAt least this child knows right from wrong. But why would godly parents want to send their children to a school where they are going to be brainwashed with transgender ideology which is totally against the way God created us? Surely Christian parents would want their children to be daily affirmed in God's truth instead of sending them off to sit in the "counsel of the ungodly" (Psalm 1:1).

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MOTHER LEAVES HER HOME?

WhatHappens1. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she leaves the sphere God intends for her. God gave us His plan at the very beginning in Genesis and it hasn’t changed. When Eve woke up to life, she woke up in her home, the place where God wanted her to be. God created Adam before the home but didn’t create Eve until He had the home ready for the woman.
 
2. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she leaves her babies and little children whom God has given to her as His love gift. When God gives a baby to a mother, He doesn’t give it to her to give to someone else to care for. He gives this precious child to her. Mothers and babies are not meant to be separated. They should be inseparable.
 
3. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she goes out to make another man wealthy. She serves him rather than her own husband. She will spend much finance on cars, gas, clothes, daycare, fast food etc. She would bless her husband more by being at home with the children and learning to make things from scratch at home. As my husband says: “A husband cannot afford for his wife to go to work outside the home. Too much is at stake.”
 
4. When a mother leaves her home for another career, she is no longer fulfilling the biblical pattern God has given in His Word. I know this is not easy for those whose husbands have left them without provision and they must do something to feed their families, but I am speaking generally.
 
5. When a mother leaves her home for another career her children are deprived. No other woman, no matter how caring and efficient, can take the place of a mother. No one but the mother truly senses the needs of her child. Now stats are showing that in some daycares children are being abused mentally and psychologically.
 
6. When a mother leaves her home for another career there is no one at home guarding and guiding the home. We as mothers are watchdogs of our homes. We are the guarders and protectors of our children—body, soul, and spirit. Satan has the opportunity to make inroads into the hearts and minds of our children when they are left unattended. What happens to children who come home from school and their mother is still at work? This is Satan’s plan, to get mothers out of the home, so he can influence the children!
 
Can I leave you with this Scripture from Micah 2:9: “The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant chouses from their children have ye taken away my glory forever.” God sees the home as the children’s glory. It is their inheritance. He intends for them to be raised in the home. Here are some other translations:
 
Knox: “And you would dispossess its women of the homes they loved, take away from its children my glory for ever.”
 
NET: “You defraud their children of their prized inheritance.”

NEVER BE DUMBED DOWN

NeverBendingWe as mothers must be truth seekers and truth speakers to our children. Our children are growing up in a world of deception. The only way our children will stand strong against the deception is if they are saturated in the truth is God’s word! I trust your children are not sitting in public school being bombarded with humanistic and liberal philosophies day by day. I hope you are educating them at home and they are becoming Word-saturated children and young people.
 
“I have written unto you, young men, because you are STRONG, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have OVERCOME the wicked one” ( John 2:14).

A QUARRELSOME WIFE

QuarrelsomewifeIt’s a dreary life with a quarrelsome wife,
I’d rather be out in the rain.
Her nagging words drip out from a constant spout,
I feel cold and drenched and in pain.
The corner of a roof is where I’d like to be
To escape the constant war.
It’s safer and warmer and more comfortable,
Why should I come down for more
Of that complaining and discord and conflict and strife
From that woman You gave me to keep as a wife!
 
Or maybe I’ll live in a hot, dry desert
Wandering and dying of thirst,
Since in my own home my needs are not met,
Living there is definitely the worst.
The home I dream of holds a wife who’s content;
A woman placidly happy would be heaven-sent.
She’s satisfied, loving, and usually unruffled;
Her infrequent criticism she tries to keep muffled.
This wife brings me good; I feel understood.
 
I jump down from my roof and run in from the rain;
To be apart from this woman would just be insane!
 
~ Kim Newhouse
 
“Better to dwell in a corner of a roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife”
(Proverbs 25:24 TLV).
 
“Continual dripping on a day of steady rain and a contentious wife are alike”
(Proverbs 27:15 TLV).
 
“It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome, worrisome wife”
(Proverbs 21:19 TLV).
 
Read also: Proverbs 19:13 and 21:9.

FLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS

TocquevilleQuote"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers . . . and it was not there . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forest . . . and it was not there . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce . . . and it was not there . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution . . . and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits FLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."
 
~ Democracy in America by Alexis De Tocqueville (about 1835 -1840)
 
May our pulpits FLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS again!
