Recently, I shared a picture of my kitchen on my social media. I shared it because of the sun streaming through my windows in the late afternoons as the days grow longer thus showing every fingerprint, all of the dust, dirty cupboards, and making every imperfection clearly visible. It caused me to deep clean it all. Spring seems the time to deep clean and maybe this is why! The sun shows us that our homes need it. Invariably, one woman…
This comment is from Kelly Anne Mabee in response to something I wrote on Facebook. Many women seem to want me to STOP teaching women to be keepers at home since either they don’t want to be home or they can’t. Many wrote that families simply can’t make it on one income. I tried to reason with them and gave all of the reasons why I won’t stop. This comment stood out as amazing to me. I hope it blesses…
“Getting a top job dramatically increases women’s chances of divorce, even in egalitarian countries. Why isn’t it the same for men? Having a successful and enjoyable career alongside a fulfilling romantic relationship is a life goal for many of us. But even in the most gender-equal countries, finding a partnership that lasts is trickier for high-flying women than men…Female medical doctors, police officers and priests who progressed in their careers also followed the trend.” (Source) How could this be when…
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…
