Hey ladies…

My girlfriend forwards me all articles she comes across related to christianity. This one she found on the blog Jezebel.

The Jezebel post refers to this article about being a Christian woman. Now this woman’s teachings no way reflect the view of this blog. However some of her views might be more cultural standards than Christian standards.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

Martha Peace on how to be the wife God intended

• On feminism: “Instead of dwelling on what I think I deserve, I should be thinking that I am to serve the Lord graciously, however He chooses.”
• On widowhood: “Younger widows are to remarry rather than have idle time to gossip.”
• On extramarital friendships: “Turn from wrong thinking about the other person to right thinking about God and your responsibility to honor and worship Him.”
• On pms: “Lord, forgive me for maligning You. Instead, use me for your glory however you choose. If the pms symptoms have to continue, they’ll just have to continue.”
• On vanity: “Beauty is one of the ways the adulteress draws her prey…[but] it is all right to have some external adornment, because stripping oneself of all makeup and wearing only plain, drab clothing does not make a woman more pleasing to God.”

However the quote you ladies should focus on the most is:

“If you disobey your husband,” Peace admonishes in The Excellent Wife, “you are indirectly shaking your fist at God.”

No need to ask for comments because I am sure that our female readers will feel inclined to talk about their views on Christian womaness.
