Jenny Sanford: Swallow the Whole Hog

[Johny Joe Hold]

There is much news, recently, about Jenny Sanford's new book, her book tour and her pending lucrative evangelical tour.

Who is Jenny Sanford? She is the soon-to-be-exwife of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. Gov. Sanford was much in the news with the disappearance on a "hiking trip". We then found out he was with a South American looker.

So, Jenny Saford wrote, "Staying True", in which she relates the strong Chriatian influence in trying a stay with her straying hubby. Now, let's do what Landover Baptist is know for, an objective review of the relationship and an application of Biblical principles.

To begin with, you have to say Governor Sanford seems like an odd duck. When not quoting Bible versus, he tried to negotiate their marriage vows to leave out the "being faithful" part. He returned to the store a piece of jewerly he had given her because he thought it too expensive.

But, dear Jenny gives herself a Biblical pass most of the time. She needs to apply the whole Book, not just the parts that reflect well on herself. To begin with, she had a very successful career in an industry that ignores one of the Bible's most basic sins, usury. [Isaiah 24:2-3 "...as the taker of usury, so with the giver to him. (3) the land whall be utterly emptied...for the Lord as spoken His word."] She was an investment banker. If she wants to write a book about living life in God's way, hey, start here.

Then, there is the whole thing about telling her marriage secrets in a book. God does not approve. He is the judge, not us nosey book readers. [Romans 2:26 "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."]

I'd suggest to Jenny Sanford, write another book. This time, get it right.

Brother Sanford admittedly did not spend enough time disciplining his wife. I will give him the benefit of the doubt because of his South American ministry.

In the name of equal rights, women are being stripped of the protections of the family and given no place except the perverse competition of a sexual market in which increasingly shock, deviation, and aggressiveness command a premium . . . (p. 2O8) [R.J. Rushdoony, The Institutes of Biblical Law]

Re: Jenny Sanford: Swallow the Whole Hog

Jenny Sanford needs to swallow the whole hog?

But . . . what if she chokes? Suzanne Hinn is quite a mouthful!



Sorry.

Re: Jenny Sanford: Swallow the Whole Hog

What we learn from Jenny Sanford is what we already knew: That an uppity feminazi wife (even one who's loaded to the gills and who's dropped two sons) is more trouble than what a True Christian™ man can endure. Imagine the suffering that Mark Sanford has experienced, living with that harpie. Is there a man here who will be the first to cast a judgment against Mark Sanford and his completely understandable failings? I don't think so.

Proverbs 31


31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. Missed that part, didn't we Jenny?
31:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
31:13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
31:14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
31:15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

31:25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Now where in there does it say that a Christian woman writes a tell-all book about the secrets between husband and wife? No wonder Paul wrote so much about the filthiness of women.

Perhaps it would be more efficient to burn the manuscript instead of burning the books after they come out. We have to plan ahead on these things.
