Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

"Feminism: noun
The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.

'Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate.' Psalm 127:3-5 Of Solomon

Lets break down this beautiful Psalm...

'The fruit of the womb is a reward.' Children are the fruit of a mother’s womb and genuinely the gift of God. The word reward here may be understood as 'the sign of Divine favor.' Of Divine favor takes far other than the pessimistic view, so common in our day, as to the special gift of children.

Simple men many times see children as an utter misfortune and encumbrance that ultimately brings about utter poverty and destitution. However, how beautifully and blessedly different are the teachings here. God gives children, not as a penalty, nor as a burden, BUT as a favor. Likewise, in the Old Testament to be barren and without children was considered a curse. It was once said, 'To have many children about us is better than to have much wealth about us.' Let us never forget this simple truth: Children were purposed by God in Scripture to be a blessing bestowed upon a husband and wife!

I recently read these statements from those who's goal it is to demolish the family and pervert the God ordained role for women.

'The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant members is to kill it.' (Margaret Sanger)

'In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them.' (Dr. may Jo Bane, feminist)

'Marriage has existed for the benefit of men; and has been a legally sanctioned method of control over women...We must work to destroy it. The end of the institution of marriage is a necessary condition for the liberation of women. Therefore it is important for us to encourage women to leave their husbands and not to live individually with men.' (The Declaration of Feminism)

'We can't destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage.' (Sisterhood is Powerful)

'Being a housewife is an illegitimate profession...The choice to serve and be protected and plan towards being a family-maker is a choice that shouldn't be. The heart of radical feminism is to change that.'(Vivian Gornick)

Feminism is a very wicked and sick system that has sucked in many advocates. It is something we need to be very aware of in our society and fight against. We cannot allow these ideas to seep into our minds and then start to slowly alter our thinking.

Titus 2:4,5 says, ..train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home , to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. (this is in quite contrast to the quotes from the feminists above)

'A man has no pleasure in life than can equal his joy in his children, who bear his image, and in miniature reproduce himself. For a man lives over again in the success of their well-grown healthy bodies; of their developed and cultured minds; of their honorable and useful positions. A man never feels to have lived in vain when he leaves a respectable and well-ordered family behind him' -Rawlinson"

Really good!

I have also recently noticed that feminist's goal is not just to become equal- their underlying purpose is to be over them according the curse given in Genesis 3.

Regarding people's view of children today it is the selfish attitude which is a major contributor to keeping them from having children. They want to be unhindered in their time and finances- to do as they please, when they please, how they please and with what they please.

As we see the destruction of family we see the demolition of society's foundational institution- a God established institution. Therefore we see another front against all that is of God. Is it any wonder then that society is in such disarray and shams!
