@resisfertile We have eleven children and we love them , care for them, and disciple them each with the deepest of affections and intentionality. Glory to God.☺️

Michael is right, this is feminist garbage.

As a single woman, going off (leaving a father's headship) and getting graduate degrees and being high powered boss babes actually makes them less marriageable for the right kind of men.

[Paul Biegler, D.A. @FrankCapraJr]

I love @Ligonier, been to LigCon many times, but this just ain’t it, sorry.

We simply do not need any more mature MARRIED women telling younger single women to go “get graduate degrees and careers” and to not “make marriage an idol.”

At best, it’s just totally out of touch.

[Nickitruesdell @nickitruesdell]

Many benefits of homeschooling can’t be measured on a test:

Worldview
Enough sleep
Family bonding
Character training
Quality socialization
Home-cooked lunches

And our academics are not run by bureaucrats, so…

Marriage is far more effective in revealing the various idolatries of its participants than it is in becoming an idol itself.

In offering us an intensely close neighbor to love—day after day, decade after decade—marriage tests our virtue in myriad ways.

A great gift of God.

[Jon Harris 🌲 @jonharris1989]

“One excruciating problem faced by single women is caused by the unwritten rule of our society that allows men the freedom actively to pursue a marriage partner while women are considered loose if they actively pursue a prospective husband.

No biblical rule says that a woman eager to be married should be passive. There is nothing that prohibits her from actively seeking a suitable mate. On numerous occasions, I’ve had the task of counseling single women who insist at the beginning of the interview that they have no desire to be married, but simply want to work out the dimensions of the celibacy they believe God has imposed upon them.

After a few questions and answers, the scenario usually repeats itself: the young woman begins to weep and blurts out, “But I really want to get married.” When I suggest that there are wise steps that she can take to find a husband, her eyes light up in astonishment as if I had just given her permission to do the forbidden. I have broken a taboo.

Those seeking a life partner need to do certain obvious things such as going where other single people congregate. They need to be involved in activities that will bring them in close communication with other single Christians.”

"Marriage is actually an idol" is the teaching of demons.

Notice that these people never say that polite acceptance of sodomy or financial support for invading foreigners is an idol. They only scream "idolatry" when someone wants to obey God.

Woe that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.

[Psalm Warfare @PsalmWarfare]

Imagine if we encouraged women to get married instead of calling it an idol for wanting to get married.

[Michael Spangler @spanglermt]

"I know women who are out there getting graduate degrees, who are excelling in their careers....and trying to make use of this season in a really good way."

Feminist garbage.

Paul (1 Tim. 5:14): "I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house."

[Eric Conn @Eric_Conn]

Let's talk about women and higher education.

First, the argument that women need higher education so they can raise godly sons actually goes back to the French Revolution period. Proto-feminists and revolutionaries sought to destroy Christian families, so they used this nefarious line often: "A woman needs to have a university education outside the home if she is to raise godly sons."

This was a subtle maneuver. What they really wanted was to brainwash the girl whilst away from her Christian father's authority. This is why Marxists and Bolsheviks targeted and infiltrated education. Women off at school are easy prey for leftists.

Second, Scripture is clear that young women should not leave their father's protection/headship, which means his household, until she is passed on to the headship of the husband at the altar. There should not be a period of "single womanhood" wherein she lives outside the authority of a head.

Third, single women should not be encouraged to go get an advanced degree (you get a degree to get a job outside the home, obviously a man's domain, biblically speaking). If her main vocation/calling is motherhood, it's obvious you learn that in a home with a mother, not off at college. Let's be real: College is for training workers in the workforce. Women aren't called to do that.

This whole notion that you should get married, but until then go find a career so you don't waste your time, is not what women are called, biblically, to do. Now, this does not mean she "doesn't work." She can assist her father in myriad ways within the productive household, and her mother as well.

Fourth, young women should be instructed, in line with Paul (1 Tim. 5:14; Titus 2) to continue serving in the household, with headship, under a godly mother. The best place for her to learn how to be a mother is in the home, with a mother.

Fifth, her father should actively seek a husband for her. He plays a pivotal role in vetting suitors, even as Abraham sought a wife for his son, Isaac.

Sixth, when women pursue degrees, rack up debt, and then chase careers, this actually hurts their marriageable status—men would have to inherit a boss babe, debt, etc. They're also far busier advancing in business, which often prohibits them from spending time looking for a spouse. And they become wildly independent, which makes them unsuited for a role in which submission is the main ingredient.

First, her hair is absolutely FABULOUS

Second, the best ways imo to be fruitful as a single woman are to cultivate domestic tasks, serve others humbly, grow in your interests, and prayerfully wait on the Lord to bring you to your husband. No grad degree or career required ❤️

[The Transformed Wife 🦋 @godlywomanhood]

I would rather be home making bread and cooking healthy meals for my family, teaching my grandchildren about the Lord and His ways, keeping my home clean and tidy, and teaching women the beautiful ways of the Lord than doing anything in the workforce. 🤩

[Nickitruesdell @nickitruesdell]

Hear me out: don’t send your kids back to the government school next fall.

Withdraw them permanently.

Join a local homeschool group.

Meet some veteran moms and dads.

Attend a homeschool conference.

Free your children.

It doesn’t matter if you have a degree, a stay at home parent, two jobs, or extra money. I promise you, I’ve been through all of that and homeschooled for 26 years.

You might sacrifice something, but wouldn’t it be worth it?

[The Transformed Wife 🦋 @godlywomanhood]

Why do many young “Christian” women believe that dressing modestly is bondage and dressing immodestly is freedom? They cheer “Christian” women who were raised to dress modestly when they begin to dress immodestly (bikinis) once married. How can any true believer in Jesus Christ and His Word celebrate conformity to worldliness rather than godliness?

[The Transformed Wife 🦋 @godlywomanhood]

“As sociologists have repeatedly demonstrated, marriage and kids are far more important to women’s happiness than professional success” (Megan Basham). Marriage and children were my dream growing up. They are my greatest blessings in life. It turns out living for others is FAR more rewarding and fulfilling than living for oneself. I love encouraging young women to marry and have children.

[AlaskaHomeMaker @AlaskaChick3]

@nickitruesdell Our kids love this course! 5 have done it so far! Six more will do it!😊👍

[The Transformed Wife 🦋 @godlywomanhood]

Many women have written to me asking for advice. They went to college and have a large debt. They married and their husbands want them to keep working to help pay off the debt. So, instead of being home and having a greater chance of pregnancy (less stress), they must stay in the workforce. Can’t you see what a trap feminism is, women?

[Michael Foster @thisisfoster]

Wasting time is costly because it rarely feels dangerous while it is happening.

It usually comes quietly. A few minutes here. A distraction there. One more glance at a notification. One more hour given to something that does not matter much. It rarely feels like you are throwing life away. It feels small. Harmless. Easy to justify.

Perhaps, you tell yourself you are paying attention because you care. That this is time well spent. That while others sleep, you are staying watchful.

It feels like vigilance and preparedness. It feels like keeping informed for the sake of your family, exposing what others refuse to see, gathering knowledge that will one day prove necessary.

So you tell yourself.

When you are young, this is especially easy because time feels endless. You spend it freely because you assume there will always be more. More time to get serious. More time to become disciplined. More time to repair what was neglected. More time to become the husband, father, worker, or man you know you ought to be.

But time does not wait for us to get serious.

It keeps moving.

Tick.
Tick.
Tick.

And as the years pass, life has a way of waking you up to what was lost.

The child you were too distracted to notice becomes the grown son who no longer thinks to call when he is in town.

The wife whose attempts at connection were often pushed aside stops trying as much.

The discipline you meant to develop tomorrow hardens over years of weak habits.

The opportunities to build, teach, shape, save, and prepare slowly pass by.

And one of the hardest lessons a man learns is that some things cannot simply be made up later.

You can repent. You can change. You can be forgiven. But forgiveness does not always remove the earthly consequences of wasted years.

This is what makes wasting time such a costly illness. It steals slowly. Quietly. Almost invisibly. Often you do not realize what it has taken until you look up and see what could have been.

What a tragedy to become deeply informed about things far away while neglecting the people sitting across from you in your own living room.

What a tragedy to model for your children a life ruled by distant distractions instead of faithful attention to what is nearest.

The most important work most men will ever do is not flashy.

It is the ordinary work of daily faithfulness. Listening well. Praying consistently. Teaching patiently. Working hard. Paying attention. Being fully present where God has placed you.

That kind of life is built slowly.

And so is its opposite.

Tick.
Tick.
Tick.

Do not waste your time.

Spend it on what will still matter when the noise fades, and all that remains is what you built in the lives of those God gave you to love.

[The Transformed Wife 🦋 @godlywomanhood]

There’s nothing wrong whatsoever with being dependent upon a man. It’s how God designed it to be! Your husband works hard to provide for you and the children you will bear and raise. It’s a beautiful arrangement set up by our perfect Creator!

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
