Some godly preachers/teachers of the Word (like John MacArthur and Carl Broggi) have called the term “keepers at home” listed in Titus 2:3-5 the “minefield of the passage.” Most won’t even teach it since it causes such angry reactions. Women will come up with all types of examples, exceptions, and reasons that God wanting young women to be keepers at home just could not be true. Entire articles have been written about all of the women in the Bible who…
In an article called The Forgotten Reactionary Elizabeth Warren, the author wrote this about Ms. Warren’s book The Two Income Trap: “Its wide-ranging conclusions are too numerous to summarize here, but the central one is that, generally speaking, the exodus of women from the home into the workforce that began in the 1970s has been a disaster for women, who find the infinite responsibilities of child-rearing compounded with the drudgery of wage labor; for families, who are now twice as…
God weaves babies together in the protection of the womb. Satan wants abortion to murder those babies. God wants mothers home nursing those babies. Satan wants those babies in daycares being given bottles by strangers. God wants mothers home raising their children in godliness. Satan wants mothers to have careers and the children to be raised in public schools where God is not allowed to be mentioned. God wants children to be brought up in the nurture and the admonition…
Since my viral post, I find that some women are angriest when I teach that women should carefully ponder whether or not they should go to college and that they should be keepers at home, since they seem to love their careers so much. As many of you know, I have a hard time with college for women for numerous reasons. The biggest reason is that it’s the opposite of what God calls young women to do and may even…
Many men no longer want to get married. Few virtuous women want to be help meets for their husbands anymore. Few women want to have children and be the ones at home raising them. Few are covenantkeepers and understand that love and marriage are commitments and have nothing whatsoever to do with emotions and feelings. (Don’t believe me? Read 1 Corinthians 13 and God’s definition of love.) I can see it in my children’s generation. Very few of my friends’…
Here is an excerpt from an excellent book written in 1990 entitled Liberated Through Submission: God’s Design for Freedom in All Relationships by P.B. Wilson. A person asked, “My husband has never hit me, but he is verbally abusive. Don’t you think it’s the same thing? Answer: “I have been present when husbands and wives verbally abuse one another, and some of the sharpest knives could not compete with the damage of the tongue. However, I do believe verbal and…
This post was written by Cherie Schadler and was a comment she left on my post, Going Against the Titus Two Mandate. My heart has always been at home, but my husband is developmentally challenged, so I built a family business that allowed me to be at home or on the road with my family. My husband holds odd jobs to fill in the gaps. We homestead, and I homeschooled. I was my son’s teacher (who is also developmentally challenged);…
In September of 1903, an article in The Atlantic called Why Women Do Not Wish the Suffrage, the author explains why women didn’t want to vote (only 4 percent wanted to vote in a poll taken). They knew their highest calling was in the home and raising the next generation. They wanted their entire focus to be upon this and not concerned with things that they weren’t involved with, like fighting wars, being policemen, or going out and making a…
Here is an excellent post written by a man named Dominic Tennant. His blog is called “In the Habit of Goring: Where a Recovering Ex-Atheist Skewers Things With A Sharp Two-Edged Sword.” He has a VERY interesting take on women as businesswomen or women rulers. Aside from Deborah, this is the recurring response to the argument against female rulers. To know what is appropriate for women in business, we need to first go back to what is appropriate for women…
Last summer, a popular female preacher asked if we could have a live debate online. Her views are pretty much the opposite of mine. Just the fact that she is a female preacher tells me a lot about her. I declined. I am not gifted as a public speaker, and debating her isn’t something that I wanted to do. Many write me and tell me how upset they are with me because I don’t want to argue my position with…
