“Satan knows how to deceive her. She has a questioning spirit and a seducing spirit. ‘Hath God said…?’ (Genesis 3:1). There is confusion from women leaving their supportive role as a mother and seeking a career with devastating results.” These words were spoken by Denny Kenaston in his sermon “The Hidden Woman.”

Women question God’s Word constantly. They don’t want to do God’s will for their lives so they listen to women preachers/teachers/bloggers/writers that tickle their ears. These female preachers never tell these women to submit to or obey their husbands or be keepers at home. They fail to teach them what God has commanded they teach, for if they did they would no longer be popular.

Sadly, even “Christian” women question God, “Hath God said…?” Instead of answering their questions by going to the Word, they go to the culture or their feelings instead. “No, God couldn’t want me to obey my husband because that will lead to abuse. No, God wouldn’t want be to be unhappy. No, God wouldn’t want me to suffer. No, God wouldn’t want me to give up my dreams and career to be a homemaker instead. No, God doesn’t want me to have any more children.  No, God doesn’t really care if I wear a bikini or dress immodestly.” They make up their own god who is not God at all.

Women have told me that I hate women. No, I love God and His ways. I know His plan for women is how godly women are supposed to live and it’s perfect for them. Denny taught that a woman who has a career is a fish out of water. She’s not where she’s supposed to be. Therefore, women are getting many more diseases, anxiety, and pain than ever before because they are away from where God wants them to be in their home and with their family. Women are to be home. This is their water. This is what is best for them. They are to be busy at home, not running here and there or having a career.

Many women don’t want to be keepers at home and this is why God has instructed older women to teach younger women to be keepers at home. Most women would rather have careers, make a name for themselves, shop, eat out, waste money, go to Bible Studies, and do everything but be keepers at home. Why does God want women to be keepers at home? Home is where families are built, children are raised, husbands are loved, hospitality is shown to those in need, meals are fixed for the sick, and the family is nourished, given rest, and prepared to minister to a lost and lonely culture.

Here are how some commentaries defined keepers at home.

Matthew Pool’s Commentary: house-wives, not spending their time in gadding abroad, but in looking to the affairs of their own families.

Gill’s Exposition:  minding their own family affairs, not gadding abroad; and inspecting into, and busying themselves about other people’s matters. This is said in opposition to what women are prone unto…for there is nothing more beautiful for a woman, than to abide in the corner of her house.

Jamieson Fausett’s Commentary: as “guardians of the house,” as the Greek expresses. The oldest manuscripts read, “Workers at home”: active in household duties.

Questions you must ask yourself: “Is my home generally clean, tidy, and organised? Is my family being fed nourishing meals? Are their clothes cleaned and put away? Am I spending plenty of time teaching, training, and disciplining my children? Am I doing what my husband wants me to do for him? Am I looking well to the ways of my household?”

God created women. He knows our weaknesses and our strengths. He knows our strengths are best used in the home and men’s strength is outside the home being the provider. He created each of the sexes to operate in this way and it’s perfect. Listen to what God hath said. Don’t doubt like Eve did and question why, how, or when. Trust Him at His Word.

“Every ounce of good in this world comes from God. Nothing can possibly be good unless it comes from God. A joyful Christian believes this truth. She banks her life — and her joy — on it.” (Jim Johnston)

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
