1 Peter 3 offers profound wisdom for Christian women, especially those whose husbands do not share their faith. Let’s explore how these verses can guide us in living out our faith (allowing Christ to live in and through us in the details of our lives) and potentially winning our husbands to Christ through our godly living.  “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.” (1 Peter 3:1-2, KJV) 1 Peter is written specifically to those Jewish believers (and any gentile believers) during the tribulation period. The 7 year tribulation, also called "Jacobs trouble" starts sometime after the church the Body of Christ is raptured up into heaven. It is the resumption of God's prophetic program with Israel. Although 1 Peter is specifically written to those believers going through the tribulation period, the...

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Paul had to LEARN to be content and this is also something that we need to learn. In fact Paul also said in 1 Timothy 6:8 " And having food and raiment let us be therewith content ." He mentions food and clothing and doesn't even mention shelter! Most of us in western society have far more than just food and clothing! Can we learn to be content? Yes! Paul also goes on to say in 1 Timothy 6: 9-11, "9 But they that will be rich [meaning those who make their lives all about "the mighty dollar"] fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow afte...

  Proverbs 31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. These are just some helpful suggestions, not rules that you have to follow, but are some things that have worked for me . If you are unable to be a full-time homemaker, you can adjust your schedule in a way that works for your family. God wants women, especially the young women, to be busy taking care of their families, studying His word and teaching her children Gods word. He doesn't want us being idle, nor to be busy doing things that are not profitable or edifying. 1 Tim 5:6 says, But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 1 Tim 5: 13 And withal they learn to be  idle , wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies (gossiping), speaking things which they ought not.  14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak repr...

As mentioned in a previous study, God cares about homemaking. So today let's talk about some practical ways to minister to your family through being a homemaker.  • Read the Bible together regularly and have personal Bible study time too. Proverbs 22:6 KJV Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it. 2 Timothy 1:5 “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.” As a homemaker you can make reading the Bible together as a family a regular thing. You can begin and/or end the day with reading the Bible for a certain amount of time (even 10-15 minutes is great!) as well as perhaps any grace devotionals or Bible studies that might help your children of various ages to understand scriptures.  It's also important that your children see you making your own personal Bible study a priority. You could do this before you...

Homemaking is very important to God. God actually speaks about women being homemakers in scripture. Let's look at some verses. Titus 2:5 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Proverbs 14:1  - Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Proverbs 31 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household , and eateth not the bread of idleness. 1 Timothy 5:14  - I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. Our lives as believers should not be all about worldly achievements and ambitions. When we are saved, the reason why God doesn't just take us up to heaven immediately is so that we can remain here a little while to: 1) Give the gospel to others. This would include our own children and teaching our children Gods word.   2) Read, study a...
