Today I am addressing cultural push back I received with advice on how being a mother hampers life and confuses the value of one’s work. Plus I’m sharing how to dig deep and develop a biblical worldview on motherhood with two simple questions. Get the SPF newsletter: sheprovesfaithful.com/newsletter Support the show $5 a month: patreon.com/sheprovesfaithful Show Notes: Much of culture's push back to biblical values and commands is rooted in humanism, which defies the authority and purposes of God. Psalm 128 teaches that those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways are blessed. Christians root their values and purpose in the Truth of the Scriptures which teach that God is the authority and lays out His ways for us to walk in. When we read the Scriptures, we find our worldview including what to believe about motherhood. It should be wrapped up in the truth of God, and who we are according to him. While worldview involves our thoughts, it also involves our actions. And so here we have a full worldview of godliness, both the belief that there is prosperity when we fear and obey the Lord, and such a belief that our hands find themselves diligently doing these things. And from that there is prosperity. "Religion and piety are the best friends to outward prosperity, giving God praise that it is so, and that we have found it so, and encouraging ourselves and others with it." Matthew Henry Two questions you can ask are - by what authority and to what purpose? when considering the cultural push back to motherhood.

How do we pass on a biblical worldview to our children? Today I’m sharing two research based factors in transferring a biblical worldview to the next generation in our homes. Support $5 a month: patreon.com/sheprovesfaithful SPF Newsletter: sheprovesfaithful.com/newsletter Show Notes: sheprovesfaithful.com/episode260 Show Notes One question I think we need to think about as Christian parents who long for our children to walk faithfully as Christians is: Are there things we can do while our children are in our home to transmit a biblical worldview? Two most important factors in transmitting a biblical worldview to your children, according to recent research: Habits and Pursuit. Habits: Part of creating a family culture revolves around typical things you do in a family - your routines, your traditions, the repetition in your life. Make these habits God-centered and God-glorifying. Deuteronomy 8 Pursuit: This is the intentional process to seek out relationships with your children and spouse. That pursuit regardless of what is going on interpersonally will be a source of comfort, encouragement and security for your family. And do it all with joy. Nehemiah 8 “Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Resources: Crosspolitic: Christians Lose Their Kids - Simple Ways to Avoid That https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgzrkisaVug&t=344s Send me a Text Message.

Spurgeon said, “When Satan temps us, his spark falls upon tender; but in Christ’s case, it was like striking sparks on water; yet the enemy continued his evil work. Now if the devil goes on striking when there is no result, how much more whill he do it when he knows what inflammable stuff our hearts are made of.” Today I’m sharing insights from the Scipture to help us prove faithful we the temptation for the counterfeit comes along.
