This woman is right. The Bible says a lot about being a
woman, a wife and a mother, that most churches won't touch, for various
reasons. A lot of it is put in the "too old fashioned" basket, when
in reality, if we want our nation to have a Christian future and our churches
to have a Christian future (look how many are being converted to mosques across
Europe), it should be put into the we need to repent and get back to this
basket.
I started to realize this about 10 or so years ago myself.
That rather than the church being embarrassed about what the Bible says
about gender roles, we should be embarrassed we neglected what it says for so long. This
is vital information that makes a massive difference in how a Christian family
can function in a healthy and Christ honouring way. And, in large measure, the
Church has mostly abandoned it.
If the majority of the church changed this one area, our
society would look radically different in a generation, or less. At least it
would begin to. Christians are still a significant force in Australia and in
the West, we are just a force which has been overcome by worldly ways.
It should not be left to women to guide this either, men need to act like men, be strong and courageous as Paul commands, and gently restore this standard in the homes and churches. The Christian family in the Bible is a civilising force. The modern family which Christians have largely succumbed to is a dyscivilisational force.
