“Lori Alexander, In a future post, please speak in detail to how much love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, righteousness, and self-control you have because you are following the Lord verses wives that want to do things that God called men to do which leads the women to depression, anxiety, etc. Thank you!” (A comment on my Gab account.)

This person listed the fruits of the Spirit. All believers in Jesus Christ have the Holy Spirit living within them, so they should all be exhibiting these qualities in their lives more and more as they grow in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord. But, is it easier to do when you’re walking in obedience to the Lord? Yes!

Another person asked my why so many Christian conservatives seem to be so against me. I believe it’s because I want to take the Bible more literally than they do and teach exactly what God commands instead of give all of the exceptions and my own interpretation of God’s Word.

Being a “keeper at home” means women are to be keepers at home. This is where women are to work. This is their ministry. Yes, they can leave their homes to be with friends, shop, help others with any needs they may have, and things of this nature, but in order to be a keeper at home, they must be at home. This is their domain. They are responsible for running it smoothly and efficiently. They can’t do this if they aren’t home most of the time.

Many conservative Christians don’t like my teaching on this, BUT when women are keepers at home as God commands, they don’t have the stress that women in the workforce have. They have more time to cultivate a strong relationship with the Lord, meditate upon His Word, listen to good sermons, dwell on the pure and the good, read solid biblical books to their children, hide God’s Word in their hearts, learn to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and speak about Him often during the day. In this way, women have a far higher chance of being transformed and exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit than in the workforce. Women weren’t built for the workforce.

Another thing I teach that many female Bible teachers don’t like is that women should learn theology from the biblically qualified elders and pastors (men) in the churches and from their husbands at home, as God’s Word commands. They shouldn’t go to Women’s Bible studies to learn theology since the women teaching aren’t biblically qualified to teach theology. The only women who are biblically qualified to teach women anything are older women who meet Titus 2:3 qualifications and teach Titus 2:4,5 to younger women. Women need to be taught to be sober and sober minded (think right), love and obey their husbands, love their children, be discreet, chaste, good, and quiet in the churches with meek and quiet spirits. Women need to learn these things but few are teaching them. There’s SO much joy when walking in obedience to the Lord, women. You won’t find peace and joy anywhere in the world. You only find these in Christ and obeying Him.

Yes, this has all been a journey for me but a journey well worth taking. I am thankful. I have suffered physically for 35 years, and God has absolutely refined me through these trials. I have a clear understanding of what is important and what is not. I love the Lord and His ways and Word. I’ve been married for over 43 years with four children and 18 grandchildren. These are my greatest blessings in life! Stop walking on the broad path that leads to destruction and begin walking on the narrow path that leads to life instead. This is where you will find what you’re looking for. Also, stop watching and worrying about the bad news of the day and begin dwelling on Christ and His goodness and many promises instead. Memorize Colossians 3:1-4.

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Jeremiah 6:16
