Written By David J. Stewart I received the following disturbing e-mail in September of 2005 … “Hi there, I am married and like being a homemaker, I like to do all the chores and prepare fresh meals. I believe that if my husband is out working he should have a meal ready when he gets home, fresh clothes, and a clean home. The only problem is that my Pastor keeps on saying that I should be out working. Okay, now…
Written By Laurenlou There is one passage of Scripture I have always wondered about and have never been able to fully understand or explain. “Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety” (1 Timothy 2:15). You read that passage and you’re like what? Women saved through child bearing? There was a story of one tribe who believed this meant literal salvation so the women were encouraged to bear as many…
Written By The Right Perspective Imagine two people. One who devotes all or most of their attention and labor to a project, and another who devotes a fraction or none at all. Which will typically produce the better result? Now replace “people” with “mothers” and “a project” with “raising children.” (The latter is the “feminist” paradigm; the inverse of the traditional as usual.) All of the female wit and labor, once devoted primarily to child rearing, being diverted elsewhere has…
Whenever I teach women to be keepers at home, I undoubtedly receive many comments from women who believe that being a keeper at home doesn’t mean that women can’t be in the workforce. I checked out the commentaries of old to see what they had written about the phrase “keeper at home” in Titus 2:5. “Home duties, cares, pleasures, sacrifices of self—these God-appointed duties ought to fill the mind and the heart of the young wife. There should be no…
Dear Lori, I’m writing to you to share my testimony. Four years ago I left my career to start homeschooling my children. I found your website around that time and your voice was a light in a very dark feministic world around me. Although my family is Christian, everyone was very offended with our choice. I was then confused with my choice! Can I really trust God enough? Am I going to mess up my children? Do I have enough…
Written by Pastor A. Steven Parks Ladies, I know that being a “stay-at-home mom” is often frowned upon in our modern world, but don’t listen to the naysayers. Your work is essential. Your work is necessary. Your work is priceless. Yes, wiping noses, along with various other wipeable areas, isn’t the most enjoyable past time. Cooking meals that little noses turn up at is frustrating. Cleaning the house multiple times a day because you live with a tornado (toddler) is…
Recently, I wrote a post titled Women Were Not Created For the Workforce and used information from the government’s website. Women in the workforce have twice the amount of stress-related diseases than men (heart disease, cancer, and diabetes). Miscarriages and depression are also far higher for women in the workforce. God created us for the home. A woman by the name of Abbie wrote the following on Twitter: Women aren’t designed for the 9:00 to 5:00 job. We need to…
“Women generally have more work-related cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, and anxiety and stress disorders. Social, economic, and cultural factors also put women at risk for injury and illness. While workplace exposures can affect both male and female reproduction, issues related to reproduction and pregnancy are of particular concern to women.” This is from the government’s own website! God created women for the home. They weren’t created for the workforce. Men were created for the…
Written By Joseph Spurgeon “She is boisterous and rebellious, Her feet do not remain at home” (Proverbs 7:11) The book of Proverbs gives a great picture of the difference between a godly woman and a wicked woman. One of the characteristics of the godly woman is that she “looks well to the ways of her household” (Proverbs 31:27). A godly woman’s primary focus is homeward. It is not that she is a slave to the kitchen or always cooped up…
I had MANY teachers throughout my life. I attended public school K through 12th grade, then a Christian college for four years, and then a university to get my teaching credential. I can’t remember one of my many teachers except for a high school science teacher vaguely because he was funny. BUT I remember my mother perfectly! She invested her life into me. She made every birthday and holiday special. She sewed our Halloween costumes and handed out carmel apples…
