Biblical Beauty

What is bibical beauty? God made us women to be physically beautiful, I think this is an amazing and wonderful gift of God for ourselves and our husbands. We are softer and prettier and gentle and caring. It seems that whatever wonderful and amazing thing God has created, Satan comes along and perverts it and makes it into something gross and digusting.
I believe we are to want to be pretty and embrace our feminity, but today that means "show off your body" and "if you got it, flaunt it". WHY would you take a precious gift meant to share in a loving relationship and embrace of your husband and just put it on display? Covering up doesn't mean you have to be ugly, it just means we hold ourselves precious and save the most intimate parts of ourselves to share with our husbands. I think there is also a tendancy to go the other way, baggy pants with a big sweatshirt, is that feminie? It *can* be but typically it isn't, God made us girls/women, lets embrace that, we can add our personality and likes to our wardrobe, but let us always be mindful of not drawing attention to ourselves and displaying our sexuality. A soft, gentle, quiet and subdued woman of God is the most beautiful thing to behold.

This is biblcal beauty:
1Pe 3:3 Do not let your adorning be external--the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear-- 1Pe 3:4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 1Pe 3:5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands

Modesty is a result of the Gospel

An excellent sermon about what it means to dress like a godly woman, it is all about the Gospel.




This is an important video sharing the man's point of view on how we dress. Play attention, do we really think about how the godly brother is battling temptation

Words of wisdom for the Biblical Woman

Today is going to be words of wisdom by other people. I hope they bless you.

“Modern women are used to being told we can do anything we want. So when God says to stay home and work there, it grates harshly on our ears. Stay home and be housewives? How legalistic and enslaving! Surely an intelligent woman has better things to do than wash dishes for the rest of her life!” (Mary Pride, The Way Home)

“Feminists have foolishly claimed that woman’s roles as a homeworker is the result of male patriarchal bias. The opposite is true. Non-Christian male patriarchal societies have always enslaved women outside the home; Christianity sets us free.” (Mary Pride, The Way Home)

"When a man tries to be a 'better' father by acting like a mother, he is not only less fulfilled as a father, but as a man, too. A father's relationship with his children can't be built mainly around child-caring experiences. If it is, he's a substitute mother - not a father! Similarly, under this 'petticoat rule' if a tired father is bludgeoned into serving as a kitchen aide and handy man, it doesn't enrich his fatherhood either. Actually, a wife who shifts her unpleasant household chores to her husband is downgrading her own activities in her children's eyes.” (Larry Christenson, The Christian Family)

Feminists think housework, symbolized by dishwashing, is demeaning for a talented woman. I prefer to think of it as art. Is a sinkful of dirty dishes, after all, more beautiful than a cupboard full of clean ones?" (Mary Pride, The Way Home)

“(Mothers), our daughters will be products of their theology. Their knowledge – or lack of knowledge – of who God is and what He has done for them will show up in every attitude, action, and relationship. Their worldview will be determined by their belief system. We must teach our daughters that their value and identity lie in the fact that they are image-bearers of the God of glory. This will protect them from seeking significance in the inconsequential shallowness of self-fulfillment, personal happiness, materialism, or others’ approval. Our daughters must know the wondrous truth that their overarching purpose in life is God’s glory.”~Susan Hunt

“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.”~J.R. Miller

“The Holiness of God is not evidenced in women when they are brash, brassy, boisterous, brazen, head-strong, strong-willed, loud-mouthed, overly-talkative, having to have the last  word, challenging, controlling, manipulative, critical, conceited, arrogant, aggressive, assertive, strident, interruptive, undisciplined, insubordinate, disruptive, dominating, domineering, or clamoring for power. Rather, women accept God’s holy order and character by being humbly and unobtrusively respectful and receptive in functional subordination to God, church leadership, and husbands.”~James Fowler

“Earth has nothing more tender than a woman’s heart when it is the abode of piety.”~Martin Luther

“Many wives strive for physical beauty, but Scripture says that “beauty is vain” (Proverbs 31:30).  While it’s alright for her to adorn herself with outward beauty, a godly wife’s first concern is to adorn herself more with inward beauty.  You do this by being submissive to your husband with the attitude of a “meek and quiet spirit” (1 Peter 3:3).  You develop a “meek and quiet spirit” by humbly trusting God while being submissive to your husband.  Your motivation comes from placing your hope and trust in God just like the “holy women” in “former times” (1 Peter 3:5).”~Martha Peace

Truth Be Told Radio Interview Exerpt: Biblical Womanhood

Eph 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Eph 5:24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 1Ti 2:11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 1Ti 2:12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 1Ti 2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 1Ti 2:14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

An excerpt from an interview on Truth Be Told radio where I discuss this blog and the role of biblical womanhood.

Titus 2/ Biblical Role of Women

Tit 2:3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, Tit 2:4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, Tit 2:5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

Purity (for ourselves and our children)

A friend of mine just wrote an excellent blog called WOE addressing the problem of abortion. It is very excellent and I encourage everyone to read it. This problem of abortion in our country stems for one thing, the lack of purity. This goes along with my own blog post "Embracing Modesty". In our society we are told our children ARE going to have sex, we can't stop them, so just make sure they know how to have "safe sex". This is a lie straight from the pit of Hell. When we "teach" our children how to have 'safe sex' (no such thing except abstinence) we are telling them, "I know you will fail, you are not capable of remaining pure" We need to change this, we need to tell our girls AND boys that we expect them to remain pure, we know they can do it, and have very high expectations of them. They can remain pure, boys can wait, and so can girls.
That is why my husband and I have made the choice our daughter will not date, we will do courting with a chaperon, the first night she is alone with a boy is on her wedding night. People scoff at that, say we are overly protective, I would rather be overly protective if that means my daughter, and her potential husband, are saved from the regret of stepping outside the plan God has set up.
I encourage everyone to think about the steps they need to take in their own lives, if single, and the lives of their children. Be pro-active, make a plan about how you will instruct you child to remain pure. DO NOT leave it to the schools, please. They only encourage the freedom to experiment and instruct how to go about it "safely". Besides the physical damage, the emotional and spiritual damage is life long.
We need to embrace purity once again.
Also for the married ladies ( and unmarried) if you think the pill is safe. I encourage you to do the research, EVERY ONE OF THE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS HAS AN ABORTIFACIENT. If an egg happens to be fertilized, it prevent the baby from implanting, therefore causing an abortion.
Listen to a small audio clip from wretched radio HERE
Just do it God's way.
Remain pure in deed and mind. Cling to God, lean on him for instruction.

If you haven't been pure physically, mentally or spiritually. There is ONE who paid the price for you and by His stripes you are healed. Want to know how? click HERE

"Happy Wife Happy Life" when did we become the bullies?


Most of us have heard it, the famous christian comedian Jeff Allen and his catch phrase "Happy wife, Happy life" then he does a cheesy grin, the audience laughs, all to familiar with the premise. The husband wants  to do something and the wife says "No" and to keep the peace the husband obeys his wife's demands. The wives/women in the audience will nod with approval, and the men nod their heads having been through the same thing. And it isn't just Jeff Allen, this is a common theme in most marriage humor.
So when did we become the bullies ladies? Why is this so widely accepted, especially in the church? When did it ever become ok to demand our way, or we will make your life so miserable until you cave in and submit to our will. And men will do it, to keep peace, they will back down, they will give up their God given right as the leader, and will "obey" his wife's whims to keep the peace.



read to these proverbs:


Pro 12:4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.

Pro 19:13 ..., and a wife's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.

Pro 21:9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

Pro 27:15 A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike;

Pro 21:19 It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

Pro 14:1 The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.

Pro 31:3 Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.

This describes the woman who has a "Happy wife, Happy life" household. .


Contrast that with what God says a wife should be

Eph 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Eph 5:24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Col 3:18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

1Pe 3:1 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 1Pe 3:2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 1Pe 3:3 Do not let your adorning be external--the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear-- 1Pe 3:4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 1Pe 3:5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 


1Co 11:3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.


Pro 19:14 House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Pro 31:10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. Pro 31:11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. Pro 31:12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.

Pro 31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Pro 31:29 "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."



Ok its time to be honest. Are you a bully to your husband? Do you demand your way? OR if you don't get your way, do you sulk around the house, do you mutter under your breath, do you make him miserable until he caves? This is not how it should be! Remember our daughters are watching us, and our sons. I have been guilty, if we are honest I think everyone of us has. But just because it is the "norm" in our society, does not make it right. And just because your husband doesn't fight back doesn't mean it is ok. The husband is your leader, respect and honor him with your conduct and attitude, this is as unto the Lord.
