Embracing Your Sacred Calling

Below are excerpts from Passionate Housewives Desperate for God. Click here for your own copy! It will challenge and bless you! ~ Lisa

 

"What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustomed ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow." ~ Martin Luther

 

"Of course, much of the work would agree that being a housekeeper is acceptable as long as you are not caring for your own home; treating men with attentive devotion would also be right as long as the man is the boss in the office and not your husband; caring for children would even be deemed heroic service for which presidential awards could be given as long as the children are someone else's and not your own." ~ Mrs. Dorothy Patterson

 

"Even those of us moms who have chosen to go against the grain can still be filled by feminism's lies. We can be lured by the insidious notion that being separated from our home and little ones is a good thing.....[they go on to mention that this can even mean a "mothers morning out"]" ~ Passionate Housewives Desperate for God

 

"When we recognize and fully embrace our calling, we are finally free to truly enjoy it; we're able to experience contentment in the uniqueness of our role and achieve overwhelming victory in our homes and lives!" Passionate Housewives Desperate for God

 

"He [God] had a heavenly plan for the expansion of His Kingdom that would include generations and generations of fruitful families continuing from the godly one-flesh union of one man and one woman [Genesis 1:28]" Passionate Housewives Desperate for God

 

"The text of Scripture is straightforward and unequivocal:a woman's duties are to be home-centered....As families shrink...we also see the breakdown of the family and the disintegration of the God-ordered home - yet too often we don't see the connection...her ministry is her family...being a keeper at home is a holy mission....women are to passionately undertake it." Passionate Housewives Desperate for God

 

"The household is the God-ordained seat of education...The home has always been the God-ordained primary focus for daily worship." ~ Doug Phillips

 

"Using our gifts and talents to glorify God in our role as helpers to our husbands...imparts a quiet lesson to a watching world and communicates true contentment in the loveliness of womanhood." Passionate Housewives Desperate for God

 

"We must daily sculpt our children into Kingdom treasures (Psalm 144:12)" Passionate Housewives Desperate for God

 

"[children] are probably the only gift (Deuteronomy 7:13-14) that we no longer desire in abundance....Imagine the blow to the enemy if all Christian families were to embrace the sanctified reward that is theirs and welcome more children into their families - faithfully training them up for His glory - multiplying godly families who 'Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works among all nations' (1 Chronicles 16:24)" Passionate Housewives Desperate for God
