The Highest and Most Fulfilling Role of the Woman

Women's lib has been deceived into thinking they must be just like men to be worthy of respect. Since they have lowered themselves by rejecting what and who they are, they have created a world less respectful of them than they were when they were following their God given role as keepers of the home.

There was a quote from William Ross Wallace that says, "The hand that rocks the cradle rules a nation."

Women had far more influence in the culture than they realized when they nurtured and protected children, as well as took charge of and managed the home front.

Women were the stabilizing force behind the family structure. The foundation of the emotional and spiritual power and energy in the family unit.

Those who relegated women to a position of silence in the home debilitated the family. They silenced an integral part of the functioning of the marriage and steadiness of the family.

Yes, men were given the roles of the wage earner and those who fought the wars. When they came home from those demanding and exhausting activities, they were met with the stable environment of safety provided by the woman.

In our day, women are the wage earners and the combat fighters, leaving their homes defenseless as they attempt to act like men, while abandoning the greatest calling of all, which is to shape the hearts of the young ones who will one day be the influencers of the next generation.

Satan was very clever, using the same ploy he did in the garden with Eve. He convinced her that her calling was not enough and that she was missing out on something greater for herself.

Satan has always used "self" as the motive for people to desert their most important calling to chase after something that enticed but in the long run was ruinous, not only to themselves but also for their families and for the nation as a whole.

If you wish to read God's way for the powerful and productive life of the woman, read Proverbs 31. It is the story of a woman who is greatly fulfilled, busy, and productive in her very important role.

Edify One Another Through the Holy Spirit

If you are in a church gathering in which the people are not edifying you and will not allow you to edify them, it is time to leave.

God said the purpose of meeting together is for us to edify one another, equipping one another in the Lord, to go from that place living more fully for the Lord than you did before.

God never placed one man in charge of edifying a group. He commanded that we all edify one another with the truth allowing the Holy Spirit to be the One Who directs everything.

Hebrews 3:13 "But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness."

Ephesians 4:29 "Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen."

Romans 14:19 "So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification."

Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God."

Hebrews 10:24-25 "And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

May each one depend on the Lord Jesus Christ, not on others, and may that dependence help one another to more fully rely on our Savior.

Changing God's Word is to Corrupt it!!!!

"Corruptio opotimi pessima" The corruption of the best is the worst. Think about this in terms of God's Word and how we use it!
