THE LIE THAT LEADS TO SORROW

The lie this man talks about is the very same lie that I talk about in my present speech, Cultural Lies or Biblical Truth, What's a Girl to Believe? Girls today have a very selfish, materialistic view of life. I heard one girl say recently that she wants to enjoy being married before she has children, as if children are some kind of curse.

 I've been a career woman and there has not been a single moment in my career that even comes close to the joy and satisfaction I got from being a mother. Homemakers and stay-at-home moms have come under attack in this culture. They are seen as lazy and living privileged lives.

Anyone who criticizes a homemaker or stay-at-home mom better not claim to be a Christian. I have the scripture to put them in their place. The roles of wife and mother are roles assigned to women by God. A career is fine for a woman before she has children. But a culture that glorifies career over motherhood and homemaking is a culture that doesn't know or live by God's word- Danelle


"Sadly, many of our daughters’ friends are trapped by the lie that a woman’s life can only be fulfilled by a successful career. They put off child-bearing, strap themselves financially so that a “quiver-full” is out of the realm of possibility, and spend their lives in pursuit of all of the “stuff” the culture tells them they must have.

Motherhood is Abby’s career. It is the greatest vocation a woman could ever aspire to.
The Bible is true. Children are a heritage of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is His reward. All of our lives are filled with joy because of her little Reese. Life is always a good choice.
But many of America’s women have chosen death. They have been lied to. They listened to the hum of the humanistic culture and its promise of self satisfaction. They bought into the promise of college, career, and the collection of conveniences it provides"
