Our Culture Chews Up Women
“Our culture chews up women and spits them out, and it mostly uses the woman’s own choices to do it. In particular, the feminist message – to seek career over marriage, have lots of promiscuous sex, live with men without making a commitment, put off childbearing, take birth control that messes up your hormones to make sure you don’t accidentally get pregnant during a decade or more of premarital sex, and get an abortion if you do get pregnant before every facet of your life is perfect – just runs completely counter to what makes women happy, satisfied, and fulfilled. You couldn’t come up with a more destructive, depressing, soul-sucking plan for women if that was your goal.” (Written By Lindsay Harold)
Feminism lied to you, young women. This is God’s will for His children: “Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished” (Jeremiah 29:4-6). He commanded this of His children when they were captives in Babylon!
We are captives in a wicked generation. We are still pilgrims and strangers in a foreign land (1 Peter 2:11). His command to be fruitful and multiply has never been rescinded. He still wants women marrying, bearing children, and guiding the home. He wants them to love and obey their husbands. He wants them to love their children. He wants them to be keepers at home, since He knows that no one can take the place of a mother’s life in her children’s lives.
Everything feminism has promoted is diametrically opposed to God’s will for women. It has only brought destruction upon women and harmed children immensely. Go back to the old paths that God has created for you (Jeremiah 6:16). Stop listening to the lies of our culture, and even the churches have fallen for. Listen to the Savior of your soul, the King of all Kings. His plan is perfect for you.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1,2

Yes!
I started dating my husband when we were both going to a strict Pentecostal church. I was very young when I married. We decided to wait a little before babies came. Sadly, I was devastated by 4 miscarriages before I was diagnosed with a rare uterine abnormality. Until it was surgically fixed, I had to use birth control, though not the pill. Uggh. Finally specialists were able to operate, and we had two beautiful children, who are in their early 30s now. We chose to only have two. God has blessed us.
This is exactly what I was just telling my sister last week! I feel like she is falling right into the lies of this world and it is absolutely depressing!!! Thank you for sharing these truths! There are only 3 things that will last for all eternity: God, His Word, and His people. Everything else is perishing. We have to steward the souls of our children so carefully. This culture is so wicked and antagonistic to Jesus followers. We will not get away with casual Christianity and casual parenting. I’m SO thankful that I left my nursing career and am homeschooling our 3 beautiful young children. The ways we’ve seen God provide for our family has been such a gift! I’ve been convicted lately of, “Who are we to tell God almighty, the king of Kings, creator of life that we are done having children?” I want God to be the one close that door, not us basing things on our own thoughts or feelings. I’m so glad my husband didn’t have a vasectomy after our 3rd child like the majority of our Christian friends. God gives and He takes away. Part of faithfully following Him is surrendering our will in ALL areas—especially that of children—those that He knits together in our wombs. Birth control has the same wicked feminist roots as abortion that only shouts, “my body, my choice.” This is not true for the believer, we were bought and redeemed at a very high cost, the very blood of our savior, and our body will never be our own.
We homeschool our daughters while their brothers go to day school. We have no television in the home and keep a “nanny” on the internet. They do not have smart phones. They were dresses or skirts even to play and to work in the garden, and their clothes are made at home. No makeup, no nail polish. They cook and sew and clean. They’ve never heard of a condom or spermicide. They will be innocent when they marry. That is how to keep girls safe in this wicked world.
Amen Constance! God bless your family.
