`For more than thirty years now the "women's movement" has fed us the lie that we would be happier and more fullfilled if we left our homes and children and went out to work. Feminism has failed to deliver as advertised. Divorce has skyrocketed over the years as women have left the home. Well, this is not the "Leave it to Beaver" or "Father knows best" years we are in , this is the twentieth century and things are different. Are they really?, or have our standards of living changed? Do we live within our means to be supported by one income? I believe this mindset of "You really ought to go out and make something of your life" has cost our nation and family grave consequences. We would expect women who are unaware of the truth of the gospel to be confused and misguided about their identity and calling. But I believe it grieves the Lords heart at how many christian wives and mothers have joined the women of our culture in this mass exodus from their homes. I am not at all pointing fingers I am just asking us to re-evaluate our reasons for working outside of the home. Read Titus 2 and pray that God would enable each of us to approach His Word with a humble heart and listen as He speaks to us regarding His mandate to work at home. May we take seriously the role of training and nurturing our children in the Lord. I believe with all my heart that this is the beginning of reclaiming our Nation for Christ!
Lord.
