My Post Went Viral


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

Thank you for obeying God in your life and posting the Truth! It has strengthened my marriage and gave me a greater love for my husband and children! I want to be the Wife and Mother GOD intended and wants me to be. Oh what a piece that Jesus has put in my heart :) Thank you again for the Truth you write!
Well, now I wish I were on Facebook because what you wrote is such a great reminder to all wives, and oh how I need that reminding from time to time!

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!
your posts are a godsend!!! :) people who hate your posts will end up divorced.
Thems fightin' words, Lori.
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?

Lori,
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!
Great post. Thank you for walking strong in the Lord even when persecution comes your way. I praise God for your encouraging posts. May the Lord bless you as you speak His truths:)
i guess it depends on the family! my boyfriend and i both work and we both clean each others houses when possible. Plus I am a TERRIBLE cook, so he does most of the cooking and I clean. he has been living on his own for almost 12 years so he is used to it. But if i were in a family where we both worked the same hours and my husband came home and got to sit and enjoy himself while i did all of the housework, i'm pretty sure i might be angry about it over time. i guess that is the benefit of one staying home and one working. that one may end up having more time to do more around the house.
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 agree with you, Lori. It boils down to love, and love requires sacrifice. Submission is not slavery. Submission is letting go of pride. Love is not easily offended, and keeps no record of wrongs. Love is not self seeking. The world tells you to "know your worth." In this they justify their bad behavior. If your husband leaves his clothes on the floor, it may irritate you, but it is not an assault on your worth. I'd rather pick up the clothes and let my character be refined than harbor anger. If something were to happen to my husband, I would long for the days that I could reach down to the floor to pick up his clothes. Don't be deceived by the foolish pride of this world. Women have no disagreements in giving of themselves for their children and yet they can't fathom treating their husbands with such grace. When Christian women argue that the one verse about mutual submission, which is not referring to marriage, somehow overrules the several verses about wives submission to their husbands, as unto the Lord, they are making a big mistake. They can argue all they want, but when they have to give an account to God, they're childish behavior and manipulation of scripture will be obvious. No, your husband won't love you perfectly, that is not an excuse to disobey God's command to be submissive. Christian women, have faith and trust that when God asks you to be a gracious submissive wife, He will reward you for your obedience. He will take care of you. Trust Him and trust your husband's love too. Take responsibility for your behavior.
When I read the picture you posted above ~ I felt encouraged and smiled. I love Truth....it saddens me that so many do not. Thank you for standing firm in the faith! :)
This blog has been such a blessing to myself and countless others. You have freely given so much wisdom, insight and practical ways to apply God's word in our lives. Of course the world is going to hate it. Darkness hates light and always has. You are a shining light for Christ and will receive your reward in heaven! I pray for these women who spew words of hate at you and our creator. They seem to be in such a dark place. God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). Only God can truly satisfy our hearts.

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.
Lori, when I stumbled upon your blog a few months ago my marriage was in shambles... I was weeks away from signing divorce papers. Your words and truth spoke to me like nothing I have ever read before. I saw the error in my ways, which I was blind to before. My husband and I are back together, seeking counsel...And raising our two daughters together. Thank you for being the voice so many Christian women need!

Thank you for continuing to march forward sharing His Word.
I'm so glad that you don't let the hateful comments get to you. You're an inspiration in how you are able to so effectively deal with this, Lori.

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!

Lori, I echo the comments of those here supporting you. I read this blog every day; its instruction of what the aged women are to teach the young women is very needful for me. I wish I'd had this teaching when I became a Christian in my mid-20s; I'm now praying for the Lord to restore the years the locust has eaten as I give the rest of my life away in service to Him and to my husband.

God bless you, and may He continue to give you the strength to do what you do!
The records should be set straight that Lori never said that a husband should not help around the home. She simply pointed out the reality that it should not be source of constant irritation that tears a marriage apart for a Believing spouse. God's prescription works well inside a relationship when both try to please each other, and when one is selfish, and the other goes out of their way to love them anyway. It is here that most women can win their man without the word, just by winning their hearts by keeping themselves lovable, instead of of nagging, complaining and moody. Let God work on his heart and mind and behaviors. He does the best job in changing us into who he wants us to be... which is servant leaders to our wife and family.
Your post are encouraging to me!
Girlllll, don"t you know this world hates traditional values! But Praise God we still have a church that is seeking the Saviors heart in all they do!! Keep up the good work and i pray that the Blood of Jesus cover all you do! Now to be fair to all my working full time sisters out there(I am a receptionist for our mom and pop shop) my opinion is that it would be just good manners for him to help out with household chores around the house given they both are working the same amount of time. I find men are better at the vaccuming, mopping,window cleaning, washer/dryer loading and unloading,yardwork, while i am better at at the finer details such as dusting,bedmaking,bathroom cleaning,folding cloths and arranging closets
I have been incredibly blessed by your posts of TRUTH! It is a powerful renewing of the mind that`s happening as I read your posts every day.
Hi, I just wanted to leave you some encouragement. I also had an article go FB viral this week, and the negativity can be draining. (Especially for someone whose love language is words of affirmation.) All the attacks I read about your post were so full of resentfulness and bitterness. God has blessed you with a happy, loving marriage. Thank you for sharing some of your 35 years of married wisdom with younger wives!

I am so surprised by all of the negative comments on your fb page. The way you handle it speaks volumes about you. Whatever happened to the principle of not saying anything at all if you can't find something nice to say? I am so shocked by the way you are being judged, misquoted, and falsely accused. The truth of the Bible sets us free and God's ways are never outdated.
Wow! love your recent post. Your statement, "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." SO TRUE!! Thank you for standing strong in the truths of the Bible. <3
Why Lori! I am surprised at you! That quote is terrible.... Nah, just kidding. Lol. Awesome quote. I rarely ask my husband to help. If i need something done, i have kids eager to help me out. My husband and i have been scolded even publicly because he doesnt do housework. At least not much. And i felt guilty for years because i didnt have a husband who loved me enough to help. Ugh! Stupid way of thinking and so distructive. All those haters need to get a life. Keep up the great work. :-)
