“Even women who have been in ministry for years are making ‘holy mischief” and claiming space in male-dominated conservative evangelicalism, engaging Scripture and politics and other topics outside of traditionally ‘safe’ subjects like home and family.” And look at the results: marriages are stronger, women are submissive and respect their husbands, mothers are home raising their children, and dressing modestly. Not.  Teaching “home and family” are not that safe in today’s feminist culture as this article states. What many of these women are teaching is not biblical for women to be teaching; feminism rearing it’s ugly head in Christianity.

Christian women have decided they can take the place of men in leadership and chaos reigns. “I think that we are seeing in lots of areas of American life that some of the traditional structures that served well for a long period of time are no longer doing so. … A time of change means there’s a possibility of new types of leadership and new people doing it,” said the Rev. Katharine Rhodes Henderson. Right there, women, is why you do not want to attend the Belong Tour which this article is about. The Apostle Paul being led by the Spirit of the Holy God specifically said that women are not to be teachers or in authority over men. Any woman with the title of Reverend is disobeying this command. Men are the ones that are supposed to be in leadership positions.

“I’m so excited to be among women who are all about the holy mischief and stirring up things in the world and not doing it safe,” said Sharon Irving, a former “America’s Got Talent” contestant. What about women marrying, bearing children, and being keepers at home? What about having meek and quiet spirits, chaste, discreet, modest, and sober? Do you think any of these things are being taught to all of these women at this conference? Godly womanhood is what women need to here today.

“In the last decade, Nordeman said, Christian women have gained popularity for their teaching and preaching, something that doesn’t necessarily fit into the role women usually play in ministry.” God’s role for the majority of women in ministry is to bear and raise the next generation. There is no greater ministry than raising the next generation of godly offspring.

“‘God’ and ‘faith’ barely are mentioned on its website and promotional materials. Instead, said Reed, Belong’s research showed women wanted to discover and live out their purpose, connect in their relationships and experience a deeper faith. ‘I don’t know if it’s because women’s voices have been uniquely quieted for so long, but it’s really renewing and fresh to watch women sort of rise up and lead and preach and teach and innovate,’ Hatmaker said.” I, for one, don’t want to watch women lead and preach and teach since it’s clearly against the Word. Would you want to go to something that barely mentions the words “God” and “faith” but instead “experience” a deeper faith? God doesn’t care about us “experiencing” a deeper faith, unless if comes through knowing His Word and living in obedience to Him by walking in the Spirit.

All of this to say, “Wake up, women!” Learn from godly older women and learn the Word from godly male preachers as I encourage you over and over again. These women are gaining huge audiences and yet don’t teach the women anything about godly womanhood. Sad, very sad.

“I think we’ll begin to see women lose their marriages, their self worth, intelligence and a whole host of other sad situations, all because of who they are following/serving. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord (with integrity, and pure sincere devotion to the Lord and not the devotion of following false teachers) I pray that God exposes these women for who they are!!” (Julie Williams)

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
