Women Shouldn’t Do Anymore Housework?

Women Shouldn’t Do Anymore Housework?

According to Sarah Green Carmichael, Women Shouldn’t Do Anymore Housework This Year. “Women spend 47 minutes more on housework on average than men each day, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That adds up to roughly 5 ½ hours each week, and that’s not including childcare, grocery shopping or errands, which the BLS classifies in other categories and of which women also do far more. “The gender gap in housework persists regardless of a couple’s other commitments. Among dual-career…

God Created Women to Be in the Home

God Created Women to Be in the Home

“Scripture portrays the ideal woman as a keeper of the home who is subject to her own husband, not a career woman whose family takes second place” (John MacArthur). “The architects of the New World Order don’t want you to have a big family. They determined that the best way to accomplish this is to encourage and help women secure loans to go to college and entice them to pursue a career. Make women judges, police, and give them government…

Abiding in the Home With Contentment

Abiding in the Home With Contentment

There’s a lot of disagreements of women’s roles in the churches. The Apostle Paul made it extremely clear with what our roles are. I decided to look up what the commentaries of old wrote about 1 Timothy 2:12: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, not to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” “The whole purpose of these weighty admonitions of the great founder of the Gentile Churches relegates Christian women to their own legitimate…

The Real Cost of Working Mothers

One woman named Dr. Jennifer Rubin tweeted this recently: “This is the daycare costs for two children in Seattle during the month of July. Please tell me how grad students and postdocs are able to afford childcare.” The cost is $5,922.00. Then many responded to her about other countries giving mothers up to two years of paid leave and free childcare. Jennifer also retweeted this by Dr. Sarah Odell: “I would like to remind everyone that while childcare is important…

Godly Women are Submissive and Home is Their Priority

Godly Women are Submissive and Home is Their Priority

The other night, I listened to the greatest sermon on biblical womanhood that I have ever listened to by Pastor Voddie Baucham. He gave it nine years ago, and it is so powerful! He first exhorted young men to only marry a woman who is submissive. “She must be submissive. Period.” He taught that submission is about order, not value. Men and women have different functions and roles. However, submission is voluntary. A husband can’t arm wrestle his wife into…

Nail the Enemy by Nancy Campbell

Nail the Enemy by Nancy Campbell

Written By Nancy Campbell at Above Rubies Do you remember Jael in the Bible? God called her “blessed above all women who lived in tents.” The Kenites lived in tents in those days. Why was she given such honor? Because she destroyed the enemy who came to her home. You can read the whole story in Judges 4:17-23 and 5:24-31. God gave the Israelites victory over the Canaanites who had held them in slavery for 20 years. Captain Sisera ran…

Keeper of the Springs

Keeper of the Springs

This was written by Peter Marshall in 1949. He was Chaplain to the United States Senate in 1947 and 1948. There never has been a time when there was a greater need for Keepers of the Springs, or when there were more polluted springs to be cleansed. If the home fails, the country is doomed. The breakdown of the home life and influence will mark the breakdown of the nation. If the Keepers of the Springs desert their posts or…

Must Men Help With Housework to Avoid Divorce?

Must Men Help With Housework to Avoid Divorce?

In an article by New York Post called Millennial men want 1950s housewives after they have kids, the author Jennifer Wright wrote: “Even in normal times, women spend approximately two hours more per day tending to domestic work than their partners. A 2013 research paper by economics professors Francine D. Blau and Lawrence M. Kahn claimed that ‘modern men do not adjust the amount of time they dedicate to housework based on their wives’ employment status.’ “‘Professional working mothers who…

Housework Does Not Demean a Woman

Housework Does Not Demean a Woman

Written By Owen Strachan Housework isn’t “below” a woman or “demeaning” to her. Housework doesn’t “squander her gifts.” We often hear such language today, even from professing evangelicals who say they believe texts like Proverbs 31 and 1 Timothy 5. But sadly, a good number of professing Christians are frankly embarrassed by the Bible. Instead of flatly affirming biblical truth, they’ll subject it to death by caveat, telling you 19 things they don’t mean about biblical womanhood before they say…

Can You Afford to Be Home Full time?

Can You Afford to Be Home Full time?

Written By Lindsay Harold When the topic of women staying home is brought up, the most common argument against it is that women today have to work in order to pay the bills. That’s often true or at least they believe it is. Yet many of those bills exist because they are working outside the home. For example, if the wife stays home, they don’t need daycare, a second car, her work clothes, gas money for her commute, eating out…
