Bible Study Biblical Womanhood Christian Living Contentment Gratitude Homemaking Ministries Conferences Podcast Reader Favorites

God’s grace through Christ is greater than our sin, even on our worst days. @mferrell

  We know we’re saved by grace through faith as believers, and we know scripture also teaches we’re called to live lives that strive towards and are growing in holiness. Let go and let God isn’t biblical. Jerry Bridges reminds us how the gospel deals with these two issues that seem to oppose each other. He reminds us to rely on God’s grace alone for our salvation and to strive by His grace to be holy. If we forget this truth, we will fall into one of two camps; self-righteousness ... continue reading...

Modern Day Examples of Titus 2 Women

Biblical Womanhood Encouragement Homemaking Homemaking Ministries Conferences Loving Our Children Loving Our Husbands Mentoring Spiritual Discipleship Titus 2

Sound doctrine is so important because what we believe affects what we do. Our behavior is an extension of our theology. @mferrell

  We can tend to just think of Titus 2:3-5 as an example to look to what our conduct should be like as Christian women. And please don't get me wrong because it beautifully lays out what we are called to as Christian women. I'm using this example at the end of this post to briefly talk about what it looks like lived out in our modern-day lives. If you want to dig a little deeper I highly recommend the book Feminine Appeal by Carolyn Mahaney. There is more to it though because it ... continue reading...

The Benefits of Habits in Your Homemaking

by Marci Ferrell
Homemaking Homemaking Ministries Conferences Titus 2

We all have habits we already do on a day to day basis. Habits are things that just happen without us thinking about them anymore. We brush our teeth, make our beds, maybe we exercise regularly, eat meals, or wake up and have a cup of coffee. We do these things now without thinking. The Power of Habits: In a book called The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business by Charles Duhigg he explained why habits can become automatic: “When a habit emerges, the brain stops fully ... continue reading...

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣

The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣
