Here's a quote from the introduction of Mary Pride's book, The Way Home.  This is especially thought-provoking for me, as I'm just at odds with the way churches are run in America.  

          The sad truth is that the "traditional" role which feminists attacked in the fifties had already lost its scriptural fullness.  Christian women were staying home out of habit, not out of conviction.  Women had been robbed of their role, even though they were "in their place".  And they were robbed by the church.

          The Christian churches in this country had actually paved the way for feminism to succeed, even as preacher orated about the sanctity of motherhood!  Denominations endorsed family planning and "therapeutic abortion".  Church meetings were scheduled for every night of the week, giving out a clear message that family life was unimportant.  Ministry was considered more worthwhile than motherhood, as missionaries were expected to leave their children in boarding schools as a matter of course.  Church life centered on the church building, not the home.  Even in the church building, children were whisked out of sight into nursery, children's church, and their own Sunday School program. 

          At every turn Christian women found that their biological, economic, and social roles were considered worthless.  Men's ministry, men's money, men's building and programs - these were the areas that mattered.

          Today we are reaping the fruits.  Role obliteration is the coming thing in evangelical, and even fundamentalist, circles.  If women can't be women, by golly they will be men.  All because two or more generations have grown up and married without ever hearing that the Bible teaches a distinct role for women which is different from that of a man and just as important.         

          I've come across the organization Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE) a few times now.  Both times were connected to the marketplace of Christian writers.  This is scary to me.  CBE is nothing more than feminism dressed up with the word "Christian".  They despise Biblical roles for women, and work very hard at getting women into pastoral roles in churches. 

          Here's an article about the president, Mimi Haddad, where she claims that God can be refered to as "mother" as well as "father". For the best information on feminism, please read Mary Pride's book, "The Way Home".  She was once a staunch feminist and is very familiar with the core of their doctrine.  (Yes, I said doctrine.  Feminism, at its roots, is a religion.)  Her book is full of footnotes and references.  I am very seriously thinking of sending this book to every woman I know. 

         Why is this on my mind?  Well, we have a woman running for president.  If she wins she will bring great judgment on our country.  We will be in trouble.  Families and children will be targeted for destruction.  Though, she'll make it sound like she is protecting them.  Please pray fervently everyday that God will have mercy upon our sinful nation.  We deserve the judgment, there is no doubt of that.  Men have wimped out and stopped being the spiritual heads of home.  Women have become power-hungry and want to be just like men.  So they've neglected their homes and children in the name of career and even in the name of MINISTRY!!!!!  

       We DESERVE the judgment.  But God is a merciful God.  He has spared his children many times before.  Our prayers can bring mercy.
