There is division in the home when two married people have separate bank accounts!
When a couple goes through life as a unit, no one will be seen as lesser, no one will be dismissed as irrelevant.
When there is solidarity of oneness in the marriage there will be unity of mind. That unity is not based on compromise but on the Word of God.
If one party will not obey God then there is disunity. When one party will not fulfill their roles as described in the Scriptures then there is chaos.
Ladies, God gave us the job of homemaker, the keeper of the home is vital to the family. We cannot measure our role by its effectiveness. We must obey even when things don't appear effective. We never know how God will use our obedience.,
Our feminist culture promotes a woman being a separate individual from her husband. They have managed to fragment the family, produce pride and willfulness in the women causing the family unit to disintegrate. Not to mention resentment in the men for lack of support from their wives at home.
The self esteem teaching didn't work, the feminism didn't work, the willfulness didn't work and the pride has over taken the culture to the point of no return.
The feminists, the globalists and the pagans are rejoicing right now as they see the destruction of the family and the nation.
Thank the Lord we knew this was coming because of prophesy and we know the end of the story. Our hope is great, the worse things get the sooner we will be going home.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."
Luke 21:28
"28 But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Hallelujah!!!!

Idolatry in the Home
Some women idolize their husbands, placing the teaching of their husband above God. When a husband is not obeying the Word then the wife must tell him, helping him to get back on track. Helpmeet is a big word it encompasses all of life's struggles. If we love our husbands our greatest goal is to help them follow Christ.
The Prayer of the Atheist
There is no such thing as an atheist. There are only people who deliberately deny Christ knowing He exists. The Bible says "only a fool says there is no God." I am told the original text actually conveys that "only a fool says no to God."
Many years ago an atheist who knew I was a Christian came to me to ask for prayer. One who does not believe there is a God would ask for prayer only if they knew there is a God.
This Jewish man asked for prayer from me because he said I had a special "in" with God. He was right! He knew God would listen to me and would not listen to him.
I didn't tell this man God wouldn't listen to him, he just knew that he had rejected God and that God would not listen. Doesn't it make sense that we would not listen to a person who is constantly denying our existence? It makes sense to me.
I find it interesting that when there is a disaster the churches fill up for a few weeks with those who are fearful and need to feel there is someone bigger than they who can protect them.
When the fear passes and things get back to normal the churches decline once again. If our friends used us the way many use God, we would get new friends.
Wanting God's help while all the time denying Him, is hypocrisy, nothing close to love for Him.
Proverbs 1:25-27 "…25 because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction, 26 in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you, 27 when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you."
There is only one prayer of the atheist that God will answer and that is the prayer of repentance. When an atheist decides he has been a fool and needs to be cleansed from His sin, then is when God will hear.
