Sunday is Mother’s Day! This is a day to honor and celebrate all things pertaining to women in general and especially for all our mothers. While women have always been under various kinds of attack against how God created women to be, I believe recognizing and celebrating mothers is more important than it ever has been. Despite all the gains that have been made in recent generations to recognize the value and importance of women, today the very definition of what it means to be a woman, and a mother is under assault.
This Sunday we will celebrate women by looking at the creation order as found in Scripture to understand how and why God created women as he did. I intend to set forth what scripture says about women and mothers, without directly confronting the ways our culture is drifting away from those values. To be honest, I don’t think I have to do that – the difference will be obvious. I desire to be known more for what I am positively for rather than what I am negatively against. As a teacher that strives to be faithful to God’s Word, but also as a husband to Sue, a father of two women and grandfather of three girls I am for biblical womanhood. It glorifies God and allows for the greatest flourishing of women and mothers in our society. Join me this Sunday as we celebrate women.
