ARE YOU A BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM PATH TO PEACE
My dear friend, we've
been through ten steps
together now, and you've
endured a LOT of
repetition. You've read
the same concepts and
principles, just mixed
up in different
sentences over and over
again, and there's a
reason for that. You've
come to believe that the
things the world teaches
are acceptable, right,
normal, true, standard.
You've believed these
things for a long time,
because they've been
instilled in you time
and time and time again,
so to learn a new thing
is going to take a lot
of reiteration
especially if you want
it to become second
nature, or a new
lifestyle. Any time you
make a major life
change, it takes a lot
of getting used to.
Shucks, even if you move
the trash can to a
different place in your
kitchen, you'll find
yourself going to the
old spot over and over
and over again until
your mind finally
accepts and gets used to
the new location. We've
got a lot
of changes taking place,
so I urge you to ...
STICK WITH ME!
The spindle and the
distaff are both parts
of the spinning wheel.
It’s doubtful that many
people use a spinning
wheel anymore, but when
you think of a woman
using a spinning wheel,
do you picture her in
her home or in a
factory? Perhaps we
could relate this verse
to being a homebody. We
already talked about
being a homemaker
or in other words,
staying at home, serving
the Lord during the
hours that society has
established as "working
hours." Now let's talk
about being a homebody.
That's right, someone
who simply loves to stay
at home ...
Whenever
possible. Home
is where the heart is.
Does a virtuous woman
choose to go out with
the girls, where a
plethora of evil and
temptation awaits ... Or
would she rather be at
home with her family,
tending to her precious
loved ones and enriching
her family life? What
can the world outside of
the home, possibly have,
that could get you one
step closer to God? I'd
like to remind you of
two things I've
mentioned before: Any
time you are not
spending time with God,
you are spending time
with the world ... And
... Spending time with
the world can occur
within the doors of your
own home. Be alert.
BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM TRUTH
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM BIBLICAL FACTS
With all my being, I
hope you'll open your
heart and think about
this from God's eyes.
There's no doubt that
the world is jam packed
with "entertainment" of
all kinds and things
that look fun and
exciting and pleasing to
the senses. Because you
have been taught that
the entertainment of the
world is righteous, it
probably makes you want
to roll your eyes and
spit a great big old
PTHHHHH at me for
suggesting that most
activities away from
home are dangerous
territory for your soul.
Everybody goes out and
parties. Everyone has a
night out with the
girls. Everybody this
and everyone that ...
But just because
everyone else is doing
something, does that
make it right? Everyone
thinks
it's okay, because
society accepts it. But
what does God think?
Know
why few people are
chosen?
Because few CHOOSE Him!
Remember hearing this a
million times when you
were growing up ...
"Just because everybody
else jumps off a cliff,
does that mean that you
should jump too?"
IS THAT YOUR IDEA OF
FUN?
Let me give you just one
little scenario of what
most women in today's
world think is
acceptable and ... Fun.
BEING A BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM FOR GOD
After work a married
woman meets with two of
her girlfriends for an
adult beverage at a
restaurant/bar. She
adapts her work attire,
a "business suit" with
skirt 8 inches above the
knee and 2 sizes too tight,
by losing the jacket,
which covered a silky
spaghetti strap chemise
underneath, with
coordinating bra straps
fashionably (?) showing.
She wears a cross
necklace as though it
somehow justifies the
promiscuous style she
chooses. As she enters
the establishment where
she is to meet her two
friends, she carefully
takes inventory of the
customers and squeezes
through the crowded
waiting area, which
means brushing past at
least 3 or 4 people and
saying "excuse me" with
a flirtatious smile,
before joining her
party. Once seated, the
girls each share gossip
about the people at
their particular place
of employment and she
orders a drink and an
appetizer with a wink to
the waiter. Conversation
continues with the
telling of the newest
dirty jokes that each
heard over the week,
laughing much too
loudly, then personal
and confidential topics
(secrets which belong
between soul mates only)
are openly discussed,
commented and advised
upon by all three.
Occasional glances to
various men throughout
the "happy hour" are
exchanged (some even
married and with their
families), without shame
or even the slightest
feeling of wrongdoing.
She suddenly becomes
very aware of her
wedding band, and so she
won't lose any
prospective attention,
she sits on her left
hand. The hour comes to
a close and when she
reaches her car, she
puts her jacket back on
before going home.
How very indiscreet ...
From Jesus' point of
view ... But harmless
and innocent from
today's woman's eyes.
This is just normal
behavior to most women.
Now let's turn the
tables and pretend that
instead of this being a
woman in the story,
pretend it's your
soul-mate. OUCH! The
story suddenly takes on
an ugliness that you
probably didn't
recognize a moment ago
doesn't it?
It's as if today people
forget
that they're married ...
Or just plain don't
care! Many people behave
this way in the very
presence of their mate.
Guess what ... Jesus is
right there watching, no
matter who is present or
absent.
It may still
seem normal to you, or
no big deal, because it
is so commonplace, but
one day, when you become
sensitive to God's will
for you as a woman ...
For ALL women ... You
will realize just how
heart wrenching it is to
your Father. (Oh yeah,
and did I mention,
you're a prospective
Bride for His Son?!)
BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM PROMISE
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM JOURNEY
Remember, this is just a
scenario of a "happy
hour." You also know
very well what goes on
during the girl's night
out, etc. You know
yourself that you've
even seen women at the
grocery store behave in
such a manner that it
makes one ashamed to be
a woman. The world has
taught them such. Pray
for them.
|
James 4:4
... know
ye not that
the
friendship
of the world
is enmity
with God?
whosoever
therefore
will be a
friend of
the world is
the enemy of
God. |
Remember, satan is the
prince of this world and
his intention is to win
your soul away from God.
The test is to see if
you will be persuaded by
his trickery like Eve
was.
|
Genesis 3:13
And the LORD
God said
unto the
woman, What
is this that
thou hast
done? And
the woman
said, The
serpent
beguiled me,
and I did
eat. |
BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM VOW
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM FOR THE KIDS
I know, I know ... You
can't help but think
that I'm just a little
too cynical about the
world and it's effect on
people. You might think
I need to take a chill
pill or to "get with the
times," ... Be a
"today's woman," but the
times, and being a
today's woman are
exactly what scares me
for this generation.
You know, it starts at a
very young age, too.
I've just given you a
scenario involving an
adult woman, but what
about girls in their
teens or pre-teen years.
What do you think
they're doing at slumber
parties in this decade?
Are they going on
scavenger hunts to find
a paper clip and a bobby
pin and a 1982 penny,
and playing scrabble,
and croquet, and eating
pizza and popcorn ... Or
are they playing Truth
or Dare, and inviting
boys over to play Spin
the Bottle, and sneaking
out to get a tattoo or a
piercing, or alcoholic
beverages or worse?
And where is their
supervision?
They had to get these
new ideas from somewhere
... Where do you think
they came from?
(Answer: The world.)
When little girls are
three, four, five years
old, they don't think
about those kind of
things. You go ahead and
ponder on it for a
while. Okaaaaaaay, I'll
help you ponder on it.
VIRTUE IS NATURAL
Think back to when you
were a little girl
again. I'm talking about
as far back as you can
possibly remember, like
when you were a toddler,
up until the time when
you were introduced to
the world, regularly.
Normally this is when a
child goes to day care,
pre-school, or
kindergarten.
If you take a look at
your innocent age, you
probably had a little
dolly that you loved and
cared for so
meticulously ... In
fact, you were probably
a better mother to that
doll than most mothers
are to their own living,
breathing, children. You
probably nurtured that
little baby doll with
love and tenderness that
couldn't be matched by
Mother Theresa. You
didn't leave that baby
out of your sight for a
moment. All you thought
about, was how to best
take care of your baby,
your pretend house, and
all that went with it.
You had virtue like
nobody's business. In
fact, if anyone did
anything that
compromised the virtue
of your little world
that you were
protecting, you better
believe, it was going to
be challenged by your
ferocious toddler
righteousness, by golly,
and that right quick!
WHERE IS SHE?
Where did ALL those
little virtuous women
go? I'll tell you where
... Impressed by the
world and the things of
the world, enamored and
enchanted via
television, school,
friends, big sisters, advertising,
etc. They certainly
weren't influenced by
the Bible, that's for
sure.
BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM PASSAGES
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM FOR YOU
She's still in there,
you know. Your
innocence, your virtue,
your strong faith,
everything. It just
needs polished. Here's a
little test you can
take, and you probably
don't even know you do
this, but I'll bet you
do. The next time you go
to the grocery store and
you're standing in the
checkout line where a
new mother is holding
her infant, asleep and
swaddled in a blanket on
her shoulder, notice
that as you look at that
picture of what you
pretended as a child,
you'll find yourself
swaying back and forth
slowly, as if you were
holding that baby
yourself. Your head will
even tilt to one side
and you'll lightly sigh
or whisper to yourself,
"Awwwwww." It's natural,
I'm telling you. It is.
So why don't women
follow their natural
instincts to be
virtuous? Because there
is an enemy out there,
that doesn't sleep.
There is a crafty,
tricky, persuader who's
enticing words are
"smoother than oil" (to
steal a phrase that king
Solomon used when
describing un-virtuous
women), and your enemy
is persistent as a gnat
that will NOT give
up.
The devil sees every
instance as an
opportunity to attack.
His evil offerings will
not appear to be bad,
but he'll package them
with ribbons and bows,
and make them look like
a gift instead of a
curse. He is dressed in
a tuxedo, not a red suit
with a forked tail, a
pitchfork in his hand
and horns on his head.
He will try to make you
think he and his ideas
are romantic, fun,
intelligent,
captivating, honorable
even. Be alert. Be
careful how you walk.
Use discretion. Walk in
the guidance of the Holy
Spirit. Do not be
deceived. He will use
whatever means he can to
lure you into his
deceit: television
shows, commercials,
movies, books,
magazines, billboards,
food packaging,
newspapers, mail,
clothing, dreams, music,
thoughts, even Christian
holiday gimmicks such as
Santa Claus and the
Easter bunny. You name
it, his purpose is to
win your soul away
from God, ANY way
he can.
BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM SCRIPTURE
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM FOR ALL
How can something as
seemingly harmless as
Santa Claus and the
Easter bunny be the work
of the devil? Well, you
teach your children that
these things, which they
can see,
are real, then later in
life, they find out that
they're not.
What questions do you
suppose arise in their
subconscious minds about
God and the Holy Spirit,
who they can't
see, but ARE
really real?
|
Ephesians
6:11-18
Put on the
whole armour
of God, that
ye may be
able to
stand
against the
wiles of the
devil. For
we wrestle
not against
flesh and
blood, but
against
principalities,
against
powers,
against the
rulers of
the darkness
of this
world,
against
spiritual
wickedness
in high
places.
Wherefore
take unto
you the
whole armour
of God, that
ye may be
able to
withstand in
the evil
day, and
having done
all, to
stand. Stand
therefore,
having your
loins girt
about with
truth, and
having on
the
breastplate
of
righteousness;
And your
feet shod
with the
preparation
of the
Gospel of
peace; Above
all, taking
the shield
of faith,
wherewith ye
shall be
able to
quench all
the fiery
darts of the
wicked. And
take the
helmet of
salvation,
and the
sword of the
Spirit,
which is the
Word of God:
Praying
always with
all prayer
and
supplication
in the
Spirit, and
watching
thereunto
with all
perseverance
and
supplication
for all
Saints ... |
|
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be
vigilant;
because your
adversary
the devil,
as a roaring
lion,
walketh
about,
seeking whom
he may
devour ... |
BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM VERSES
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM TODAY
Did you get the gist of
all that? Our trials and
tribulations more often
than not, are not with
people, but evil. You
must protect yourself
from the deceit and
power of evil and watch
out for your fellow
Saints, too.
Here comes another one
of those old sayings
again:
“A woman’s place is in
the home,” is falsely
thought of today as a
chauvinistic attitude,
however, when looked at
from the Lord’s point of
view, it is a very
loving and protective
admonition. God knows
what the world holds
outside the safety of
the virtuous woman’s
home. In this
generation, no matter
how harmless the world
may seem, it is
abounding with
ungodliness. The
opinions of others does
not touch the virtuous
woman. She knows TRUTH.
|
Titus 2:3-5
The aged
women
likewise,
that they be
in behaviour
as becometh
holiness,
not false
accusers,
not given to
much wine,
teachers of
good things;
That they
may teach
the young
women to be
sober, to
love their
husbands, to
love their
children, To
be discreet,
chaste,
keepers at
home, good,
obedient to
their own
husbands,
that the
Word of God
be not
blasphemed. |
There you have it ...
The Bible says for the
older women to teach the
younger women to be
"keepers at home." That
doesn't ONLY mean be a good
house keeper either, it means keep
your self
at home.
BELOVED MOM AND LOVING MOM AS GOD ASKED
HOW TO BE A BETTER MOM ADVENTURE
When the challenge of
composing the Virtuous
Woman program first came
about, gathering
supporting scripture for
all of the virtues that
king Lemuel's mom
presented as admirable
characteristics in a
woman was very
gratifying because if
you've ever done your
own Bible research on a
topic, and not just read
something that someone
else has done all the
researching on, you are
rewarded with an
extraordinary
satisfaction when you
discover that scripture
consistently
confirms itself over and
over and over again. But
after writing the
Virtuous Woman - The
Recipe, even though
scripture continually
repeats and verifies and
corroborates and
validates and
substantiates and proves
these verses to be
TRUTH, there are women
who will cross their
arms over their chest,
scrunch up their chin,
stomp their foot and
dispute it vehemently
because they just can't
beliEVE it
applies to them.
Suggesting that a woman
keep herself at home in
today's world is such a
controversial subject,
and since it seems to
cause the hair on
everyone's neck to stand
up in defense of the
world's opinion against
the Bible's Word, and
since I'm not a Bible
scholar and just merely
a servant of God, trying
to assist in protecting
the souls of His sheep,
I thought it best to
present to you various
perspectives of what it
means to be "keepers at
home" from several
different renowned sages
of scripture throughout
this program, like this
little jewel from the
Apostle John:
|
1 John 2:15
Love not the
world,
neither the
things that
are in the
world. If
any man love
the world,
the love of
the Father
is not in
him. |
Buying a spinning wheel
suddenly seems like a
marvelous idea.
BELOVED MOM AND LOVING SUMMARY
HOW TO BE A BETTER CONCLUSION
Maybe you've had moments
in your life when you
haven't exactly been
discreet. Maybe you've
had days or years or
decades of indiscretion.
All you have to do is
repent, ask God's
forgiveness, and you're
as innocent as a newborn
baby again in your
Father's eyes. His gift
of Grace is so
incomparable.
|
Ephesians 2:1-9
And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in Mercy, for His great Love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by Grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His Grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by Grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. |
As always, reflect on
God's Grace, which He
makes available to us
every day of our lives.
His mercy endures
forever!
