Yes, I had a post go viral. It didn't go viral because the women loved what I said in the post. It was because they hated it and it made them angry. One woman even told me to remove it since it was so evil. What was this evil post?
It's just evil, isn't it? Just sixty years ago, I could write this same post and it would be received as normal living for women. The majority of women had as many children as the Lord blessed them with and were full-time homemakers. Their husbands were the ones working hard outside of the home providing a living. The women were working hard inside of the home for the family. They all knew their place in the family. Women depended upon their husbands to support them and men depended upon their wives to bear children and take care of the family.
My mom only completed high school. She was a full-time mother as well as most of her friends. They all married around 20 or 21 years old and stayed married until death did they part. All of her friends were full-time mothers. Children were cared for by their mothers full-time. Dads worked hard to provide. No one thought anything about it. It was just the way it was and always had been. Who changed this? Was it from the Lord that caused women to leave their homes in pursuit of higher education and careers thus leaving their homes and children in a mass exodus or the enemy of their souls?
It was the feminist movement. Have you ever studied how the
feminist movement and birth control entered this nation? Here is a post I wrote about it a few years ago.
"How will the family unit be destroyed? ... the
demand alone will throw the whole ideology of the family into question, so that
women can begin establishing a community of work with each other and we can
fight collectively. Women will feel freer to leave their husbands and become
economically independent, either through a job or welfare" (Female Liberation, by Roxanne Dunbar). You can go to the post and read
more about it. The introduction of birth control was just as evil. Margaret Sanger wrote, “The most serious evil of our times is that of
encouraging the bringing into the world of large families. The most immoral
practice of the day is breeding too many children. The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of
its infant members is to kill it."
So my question to you, Christian women, is why have you allowed Satanic inventions influence your life? This is something you will have to wrestle with. I hate birth control because of what it has caused - the long term consequences of it, namely 58 million babies slaughtered in the womb. I fault the feminist movement for all of the children being raised by strangers instead of their mothers, plus all of the divorces that have been perpetuated upon marriages, the confusion of roles in marriage, and the extreme wing that wants to see no differences between men and women.
Yes, I was attacked viciously on this post and other posts close to it. No, I am not bothered by it. I have been viciously attacked since I began blogging. This should come as no surprise to any of you. The world HATES God's ways. I LOVE His ways and will teach them to whoever will listen as long as the Lord allows me to do this. They judge me constantly; the same thing they are accusing me of doing. I have never called anyone a name, ridiculed, or treated those with whom I disagree with disdain and disrespectful foul language.
Many believe that America is a place of tolerance, yet far too many are now trained by the system to attack any ideas that seem to go against their worldly agenda. I am comfortable standing on the Truth as I know Who has my back and He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world. They are being blinded by the enemy of their souls. We are commanded to speak Truth in love and plant seeds where we can. This is what I do and I love doing it. I also love watching God send thousands of new readers to my blog and Facebook. What Satan intends for evil, God can use to help pull His remnant together so that together we can support each other in the ways of the Lord.
Don't feel badly for me when I get hateful comments. We have been promised in Scripture that we will be hated because He was hated. This is nothing new. Jesus spoke the most radical words at the nexus of history that exploded forth the greatest display of God's salvation by way of the cross. They hated the creator God so much that they murdered His Son, and God turned their hate into the greatest good for mankind. Yes, pray for me and my ministry, and be an unashamed light in a world that is quickly growing dark with sin and blindness. Continue to do what the Lord has commanded you to do and store your treasures in heaven. The time is short. So recognize that anyone can replace you in a job, but no one can replace you as a godly wife to your husband and as a loving mother to your children.
The name of the LORD is a strong tower:
the righteous runs into it, and is safe.
Proverbs 18:10

I thought of you the other day because my son just returned from camp with his church youth group. He had a great time, but was bothered by the fact that in the mornings, the boys had to serve breakfast to the girls and then get them seconds, and THEN afterwards, sing "You Are My Sunshine" to them. He said to one of the other teens that was in charge that he thought it was wrong that they had to do this. The other boy responded, "Don't you know how badly women are treated in society? We need to treat them like queens!" This is what the mentality of the future generation looks like, sadly!

I, like you, also suggest women should do their work without expecting or wanting help and I'm viewed as the villain by some. How often do wives go to their husband's work place and help with their job?

You just keep going where the Lord leads you, and posting what he puts in your heart! There are so many young ladies and women who have never been taught the biblical perspective of relationships and marriage. Your posts are a breath of fresh air!

i can see why plenty of women were angry about it. we have so many more moms in the workforce (some not by choice, but to pay off debt, etc). these types of posts don't bother me; even if i am not "living" like this now (2 more years.. i can do it!!!!!) . i came for the learning, not to judge. if i asks questions it's because i genuinely want to know!

I am reminded of this verses. "Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe."1 Corinthians 1:21-22. (ESV). Worldly wisdom, which our society prizes highly, is so antithesis of the wisdom of God.
I am so thankful for you, more than you know. He has overcome the world and one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess! As far as the "Christian" women who throw hateful insults at you, they have been sold a bill of goods from the enemy himself. He is the father of lies. He knows where we are weak and uses it to his advantage. But, as you said, greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world! I pray their hearts be softened and their eyes opened to the words of God. They're arguments are with Him, not you. You're just an easier target for them to lash out.
Blessings to you as you keep the faith and continue to do what God has called you to do.

We've been having a lot of problems in our life right now with our cars (family car completely not working - thank God it's the Summer and my son doesn't need me to shuttle him to school and activities), and so many things around our house breaking or going out (times of no electricity in the kitchen, living without a working toilet for over a month now... just some annoying things that altogether, have been bearable until we no longer have a family vehicle). We don't have the finances right now to get it fixed or get another one, we're waiting to see where God is going to take this, practicing patience and thanking Him for keeping us safe. So on top of dealing with losing our family car, my husband's truck also was crashed into recently while we were sleeping, we found out Father's Day morning... it's just quite a bit of discouraging stuff, but we are so thankful that God has kept us safe! My car died on me when I was driving it last week with our baby in the back, but thankfully it died in a safe place (it could have died while I was driving on the highway, I had just gotten off the highway!), and it died right in front of an HEB where I was able to take our boys inside to wait in air conditioning for a few hours for someone to pick us up. It could have been so much worse, and we're so thankful. Our car troubles also happened on my husband's off days, so we were lucky he was there and able to help instead of stuck working.
Anyway, my point to posting this is that I recently saw a woman who stalked my blog for months, mocking everything I would post, "liked" one of my comments the other day to draw me to her blog, where I saw she is mocking the things we're going through as a family. Her excuse? Our minor inconveniences aren't as bad as the tragedies in Orlando... so asking for prayers for them is humorous to her, she's minimizing in the bad things that have happened to us and making fun of me asking for prayers on my blog. Just so ugly and unnecessary, it makes me wonder what kind of woman would allow herself to act like that? I have a friends who ask for prayers about their animals having health problems on facebook, sometimes they're really crushed by what's going on in their lives, however trivial it may be compared to terrorist attacks, I would never in my life minimize their sorrows or tell them it's nothing compared to the things in Orlando. I would never minimize them asking for prayers, or mock when they reach out to others for prayers, when they're having car problems or when their husband's truck gets hit by a car. A person doing that is indulging in hatred. This woman is laughing and rejoicing in our trials, even though they are fairly minimal.
Thanks for being inspiring, Lori, this post is encouraging and a good reminder for sure!
