Feminine Fidelity

Most women's ministries are not biblical. We need to change that by focusing on what God's Word instructs women to teach in order that His Word is not mocked.

When we as women obey God's commands to us, we bring Him glory.

In this episode Anna delves into why the 19th amendment has caused so much damage in our society.

In this episode Anna tackles recovering a Scriptural pre-feminism view of womanhood. Until we recover a reverence for biblical truth, we won't recover biblical womanhood and our homes, churches, and society will continue to rebel against God. We cannot recover that which we do not understand and we lost an understanding of the creation order with the advent of feminism. We are a product of our times and we too often see life through a fractured lens that distorts truth. Only through understanding the clear teaching of God's Word can we start to recover truth. This includes the truthful answer to the question, "What is biblical womanhood?"

In this episode Anna tackles the question of whether head coverings are meant for today and, if so, what does that mean for the church? After delving into this study, Anna makes suggestions for further research including podcasts, sermons, and books. You can find the information and resources she suggests linked on her blog Femina Sola Gratia on the page "Are head coverings meant for today?"

In this episode Anna discusses the theological downgrade in the church, why women must stand firmly on Scripture as their standard, and recover the duties and purpose that the Lord calls women. The world hates biblical womanhood so by recovering and standing on truth, we are shining a light in the darkness and ensuring that God's Word will not be mocked because of us. Soli Deo Gloria!

The idea has come up on Twitter that women who cannot conceive, who cannot carry a child, are somehow less than. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this episode Anna addresses this idea and others that have inflitrated the church including childlessness, abuse in marriage, marital unfaithfulness, and the necessity of holding a job that some women within the church face. Acknowledging that, since God is sovereign, all such problems and hurts are in the Lord's hands and by His sovereign will and for His glory and our good.

In this episode, I explore the movements and teachings undermining our understanding of biblical womanhhood, how we got to where we are, and what we can do to move ahead. Soli Deo Gloria!

In this episode, Anna addresses the changes feminism has brought to society, the home, and church and why the Word of God is the only remedy.

We've been told that homemaking is overwhelming, underwhelming, too hard, can be done by dunces--it can't be all of these. Sisters, we have been lied to. We can't make homemaking great again because it already is great and beautiful. We must learn to be faithful in our daily tasks and do it for God's glory. God has called us to be keepers of our home. We ought to embrace this for His glory. Our attitude must be to do all things for the glory of God. If we have this attitude, then we will see that being a homemaker is a glorious and beautiful way to serve our Lord, our families, and the church.

Feminism was, from the beginning, an attack on God's Word, Christianity, manhood, womanhood, and family. No good can come from such evil.

Feminism has become so widespread that it has become the lens through which we, perhaps unwittingly, see the world. God isn't pleased or honored when we believe lies rather than believing the truth of His Word.
Because of feminism, so many older women teach their younger sisters, their daughters, to pursue their dreams, follow their hearts, infiltrate areas once set aside for men--whether in the home, church, or society. Feminism has impacted the way the church, home, and society operates and has led to many unquestionably accepting its lies as truth. If we are to recover truth, we must pull back the darkness, hold the lies of feminism up to examination, while standing firmly on the Word of God.

Loving your husband as Scripture commands

When we’re young, we often find ourselves attracted to a cute guy simply because he’s, well, a cute guy. But then we grow up and we realize that a cute guy isn’t necessarily a good guy. Good looks don’t make a godly man. Only a man who loves the Lord more than he’ll ever love you is worthy of your consideration.
You need to marry a man who will be a man, not someone stuck in adolescence. Don’t look at his outward appearance; that will fade. Don’t choose a man simply because you have a lot in common. Never choose a guy simply because he makes you feel good about yourself, he makes a lot of money, he makes you laugh, or because he treats you well. A man can do all of those without loving Christ.
Don’t look for a man who claims to be a Christian but one you are sure is. Just because he goes to church with you, or is willing to accommodate your beliefs, doesn’t mean he’s a true believer. Look for a man whose life bears biblical fruit.

We need to regain our ability to be embarrassed about sin. These days, we don't even know that we need to blush. To blush, we must understand we have a reason to blush, there must be a standard we are breaking. If we light a match and throw it on something flammable, we shouldn't be surprised when it bursts into flame. God's Word gives us a standard for modesty. We need to recover this standard and we need to recover a sense of shame when we transgress God's holy Word by dressing in ways that dishonor our Lord.

Scripture is a patriarchal book. God defines our duties and purpose as women. When we fight against this, we are waging war against God. And we will lose.

Take back truth and fight feminism by knowing God's Word. Define Word biblically. Let your worldview be framed by God's Word.

Knowing God's Word is key to being able to identify and stand against feminism's lies.

Our purpose as women is to bring glory to the Lord by being obedient to Him, ignoring lies, embracing truth, and living with a God-given purpose as wives, mothers, and women in Christ

A wedding gown, whether casual or a formal gown, ought to make a bride feel lovely. However, in recent years there has been an upswing of women wearing gowns that expose parts of them that they normally would not expose. A bride should seek to bring glory to God on her wedding day, just as she would at other times. God commands women to be modest and bringing undue attention to ourselves is not seeking to obey God's commands. A wedding gown should reflect God's standard in order to bring God glory.

Teaching our daughters to blush begins with regaining a biblical understanding of God's standard of clothing and of modesty.

We bring dishonor to God when we cherry pick Scripture, ignore certain truths, or fail to obey Him. To recover biblical womanhood, we first must take God's Word seriously.

Being a woman who seeks God's glory by being obedient to His design for us makes us more valuable than rubies.

An examination of the teaching of head covering through the centuries.

In this episode Anna covers whether the practice of head covering is meant for today. 1 Corinthians 11 teaches the practice of head covering. Was it cultural? Was it temporary? Or was the command timeless? Since head covering is tied to the creation mandate and since we have over 1900 years of church tradition, as well as an Apostolic mandate, Anna makes the case that yes, the practice is meant for today. Soli Deo Gloria!

Ways we can show our love to our husband day to day.

Ouŕ husband's sin against us never justifies our sinful responses. The Lord commands us to submit to and obey our husbands and, unless there is sin involved, we must do so.

When we have an evil root, we will have an evil tree and then, by necessity, evil fruit. This is why we are where we are today.

Feminism is and always has been at odds with biblical womanhood. It is too late to prevent the damage that feminism has caused but it is not too late to fight against it and seek to recover biblical standards.

The command to cover our heads in worship is oft ignored by the modern church. Feminists waged war on Corinthians 11: 2-16 out of a hatred for the headship of man. We need to recover this teaching to honor the Lord and His Word.

Frugality, productive homes, wisdom, and bringing honor to God

A look at how biblical womanhood has been ignored, twisted, and marginalized and how it can be recovered through returning to God's Word as our foundation.
