Working Mothers

WASHINGTON (AP) - June 1988 - The labor force participation rate for new

mothers climbed to 50.8% last year from 49.8% in 1986, marking the first

time a majority of women reported they were working or actively seeking

employment within a year of giving birth. By comparison, only 31% of new

mothers were counted in the labor force in 1976, the first year the Census

Bureau sought to calculate this rate. For new mothers with college

degrees, the job rate was 63%, well above the 38% rate for those whose

education ended during high school. The increasing share of mothers

returning to jobs led to a total of 13.4 million two-worker families with

children last year, up from 8.3 million in 1976."

HOW TO CONQUER THE GUILT

Are you going to school or working with a joy while you have children at

home? Do you ever feel guilty for leaving your children with a baby

sitter or at a day care center? Ever feel like someone else is raising

your child? Well, for those who feel guilty about being outside the home

we have a sure-fire 100% method that will take care of all your guilt.

The solution is easy. The solution is called "repentance"!

If you are feeling guilty about working - good! You should feel guilty!

You're in SIN!

If you don't feel guilty - get that way. There should be a very heavy

sense of guilt resting on your shoulders right now; unless you're just

dead to the conviction by God's Spirit.

Jesus said,

"And brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and

children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to

death." -Matthew 10:21

The reason that children will betray their parents is that parents first

betrayed their children. They betrayed their children to serve the god of

self. Parents had their careers to love. Christian parents had their

ministry in the Lord to do. Fathers and mothers demonstrated to their

children that serving themselves must come first. For they served the

gods of gold, silver, pleasure and self-fulfillment. With each passing

day the world and the worldly serve self more and more. The end result

will be that "brother" will "deliver up brother to death, and a father his

child; and children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put

to death." All because the children were shown that to please self, no

matter who it affects, is the proper thing to do.

GOD'S COMMAND

If you are a married mother and working away from home take notice of

God's command. If your church has a "Christian Day-Care Center", listen

up to God's command. For you are in direct disobedience to God! For GOD

says in Titus 2:3-5:

"You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. Likewise teach

older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or

addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the

younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self controlled,

to be BUSY AT HOME..."

Are you "busy at home"? Is this the "sound doctrine" and the "good

teaching" you and your church are teaching? If you're not obeying this by

the power of the Holy Spirit, you are in deep sin and wretched

disobedience to God! So cure your guilt by "godly sorrow" and repent

today, [2 Corinthians 7:8-11].

CHILDREN SACRIFICED TO IDOLS

Every day that a child is dropped off at the baby-sitter's, or the day

care center, is another day that your child is slowly drained of life.

You should be "busy at home" raising children for the Lord. For God says

he made your husband and you one flesh for a purpose. That purpose is:

"Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And

why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring." -Malachi 2:15

God's intention was that you raise children up who would know and love

Him! God's plan is for mothers to be busy at home, raising children for

the Lord, being quiet spirited, full of good deeds and submissive to their

husbands, [Ephesians 5:22, 1 Peter 3:1-6, Titus 2:3-5, Colossians 5:22].

Instead, the children's "blood" is being sacrificed to idols of money,

pleasures, convenience and that "independent feeling". Ezekiel 16:35-38

says:

"Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the

Sovereign Lord says: 'Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your

nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your

detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood...I will

sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and who shed

blood; I will bring on you the blood vengeance of my wrath and jealous

anger'"

Women who delay marriage to get an education God calls prostitutes.

Married women who work outside the home pour out the life-blood of their

children and God says that He will judge you with "blood vengeance of my

wrath and jealous anger".

CHURCH DAY CARE CENTERS

God's anger burns against a church that is encouraging mothers to sin by

opening "Christian Day Care Centers". How deaf the hearts are to the

voice of the Holy Spirit. How opposed they are to the concerns of Jesus!

Because they worship themselves, even though they sing of Jesus, they

cannot hear the Holy Spirit says, "Close the doors to the day care centers

and open your hearts to my Holy Word!!" Make no mistake about it. Were

they a group of Christians listening to the Holy Spirit the day-care

center doors would be closed. For they would see and feel what the heart

of God feels and sees.

"Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not

light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you', says the

Lord Almighty." -Malachi 1:10

The same book that says God's plan is for us to raise "godly offspring" is

the very same book that says "close the temple doors". What a "useless

fire" your so called Christian Day-Care Center is. God is in no way

"please" with such works.

All that wonderful singing, fellowship and preaching are "useless fires"

unless there is obedience to God's Word. Unless there be a death to

self. All your self-righteous arguments and justifications will not avail

you mercy at the judgement seat of Christ. You may complain that "Some

women have to work for the money to survive because their husbands don't

earn enough." What an ugly statement that is about your church

fellowship. Use the money, time and prayer invested in a Christian Day-

Care center and meet the needs of those married working mothers so they

can stay home and raise children for the Lord! Be what the New Testament

Church was. Holy!

"And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul;

and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own;

but all things were common property to them...For there was not a needy

person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell

them and bring the proceeds of the sales, and lay them at the apostles

feet; and they would be distributed to each, as any had

need." -Acts 4:32-34

"And all those who had believed were together, and had all things in

common; and they began selling their property and possessions, and were

sharing them with all, as anyone might have need." -Acts 2:43-44

See how little dead to self your church is! It would not have even

crossed their mind to open up a wicked "Christian Day-Care Center".

Rather, their hearts would have done what was needed to meet the needs of

others. They would have done such with joy!

Woe to those churches that have day care centers! They will indeed

experience the jealous wrath of God. For they encourage married women to

work and be busy away from home. Your preacher's "whitewash" their deeds

and guilt [Ezekiel 13:10-16]. Do you not know that you cannot drink the

cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too? [1 Corinthians 10:20-33]

SPIRITUAL ABORTION CLINIC

Truly, the church is a marketplace today and no one feels any shame or

guilt for throwing their children on the fiery altar to the demon of self

and money, [Jeremiah 6:14-15]. You teach women to "make the most of

themselves in Jesus". You teach that satanic doctrine of "self worth" and

"good self-esteem". So mothers are encouraged to sacrifice their children

to idols of self and pleasure. Oh, how you condemn abortions but you

encourage and bless spiritual abortion!!!

In Russia mothers are forced to do we Christians volunteer to do. Satan

has little need to fight against such Christians, for he has already won.

And won while churches, ministers and Christians sing with self-

righteousness haughtiness that they serve the Lord and His Word. What a

rude awakening awaits such people.

"Put a trumpet to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the Lord

because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.

Israel cries out to me, 'O our God, we acknowledge you!'" -Hosea 8:1-2

It is no deep mystery that "children will betray their parents" for before

that can happen parents will have already betrayed their children.

WOMEN OF WORTH

"A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife

is like decay in his bones." -Proverbs 12:4

Just as Proverbs 12:4 says, that when women no longer remain "noble" the

very supporting structure ("bones") are destroyed. It is little wonder

that even within the church the family is not even close to what it should

be. For what is considered blessed today is the new family that waits to

have children so that they can "get settled in" or "get financially

ahead". Or worse, the couple that waits to have children to do the work

of the Lord is what is considered blessed. You cannot serve self and

God. How much a need there is in truth to pick up the cross and seek the

will of the Lord. How rare it is to find a Christian woman who has the

heart of Jesus. That is, raising godly offspring to be given to God.

Rare, indeed, is the Christian woman who serves God with a fully

surrendered heart. Truly, godly men are crying with the Holy Spirit

Ecclesiastes 7:28,

"'Look', says the Teacher, 'This is what I have discovered:...I have found

one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them

all."

Of course men must ask themselves if they really want a godly woman. Or

like Adam do they feed off the sins of their wives? Do the churches and

husbands like the extra income that these working mothers bring in? Do

the churches like the numbers these women ministers bring in because they

are fulfilling the "call of God" in their life, [1 Timothy 2:11-15]? How

often ministers and husbands feed off the sins of their wives. And as

long as it looks good they don't care, [Genesis 2:6]. We are a land full

of priests, ministers and seminars, yet disobedience to God's Word

abounds. It is as Hosea says,

"The more the priests increased, the more they sinned against me;...They

feed on the sins of my people and relish their wickedness." -Hosea 3:7-8

Again, the signs abound everywhere that a wife of noble character cannot

be found. Instead of men witnessing a "quiet and submissive" spirit among

Christian women today we hear that they are "bored" at home. How many

mothers say, "I will sure be glad when my child starts school again"?

Where is the wife who calls her husband "master" in her heart and life?

How little we see the Holy Spirit being able to produce a 1 Peter 3:5-6

spirit in the women of the church...

"For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God

used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own

husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her MASTER."

Instead of women dressing themselves in holy and quiet spirits we find the

church to be a place for a fashion show. Excessive make up, wearing

clothes that are like the world and the dressing of an independent spirit,

[1 Peter 3:3, 2 Corinthians 6:17, 1 Timothy 2:9-11]. We see little true

leadership among the men because they feed off the sin of their wives just

as Adam did.

CONCLUSION

Now, this is not some heavy law or legalism. Rather, it is the heart of

God that longs to bless His people. For you miss the godly joy Jesus can

bring because of disobedience. Let us remember, "that the Sabbath was

made for man, not man for the Sabbath." [Matthew 2:27]. That is, no one

is going to be so unloving to teach someone in the ghettos that they must

stay home and starve because it is against God's law for a married women

to work outside the home. Rather, the church will do everything in it's

power to meet the needs of such married mothers. For the church, like

God, desires godly offspring.
