Homemakers together video

The Council on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood wants us to believe that only women are homemakers. If a man is in the home, he has an obligation to be a homemaker, alongside his wife.

The Taliban so outrages me that I want to go in the opposite direction. I want women to be free of these man made restraints. And they are man made. Jesus never put restraints on women. He encouraged them to teach and spread the gospel. Only these “verse pickers’ have done that to them Continue reading

She wants me to stop

1 Corinthians 11:3 tells me that Christ is the head of my husband, but is not the head of me, because my husband is. Now, do you really believe this woman believes that?
