Wow, that is what I have heard from several churches recently regarding their women’s ministry. Some of these ministries are going to be stopping because they cannot get anyone to lead them. Can you blame them?
Why are we tired of hearing about being a wife and mother? Have we mastered those areas? The Bible is clear about what older women are to teach the younger women, to love their husbands and their children. We can get together to knit or scrap book or play games, but that is not the ministry God lays out in His word. We must not neglect the important, to indulge the insignificant.
What other perspective are we talking about, the world’s perspective? If the Word of God is being used as the basis, then it is God’s way not an individual’s. In the end times they will want their ears tickled. Don’t convict me, just entertain me. I want to go home feeling good about myself, not challenged to be who God has called me to be. Of course we wouldn’t admit not wanting to be convicted or challenged, we will just ask for another perspective.
I apologize if I am sounding sarcastic; the truth is I am sad, very
sad.
Those of you that are swimming up river, don’t give up. If only one person listens, then spur them on. As you read the Word, recognize the trials the disciples were up against. They too were often rejected. Remain faithful to the Lord’s calling on your life and be bold in sharing Him with others.
