For those who are not raising their daughters for the independent life of the vagabond in the big city, there is still the question of how to prepare daughters to be economically productive in the home. We don't want to reduce life to merely an economic equation as the materialist socialists do. Nevertheless, how do we bring our daughters up with the economic household vision of the Proverbs 31 woman? Mike Cheney and Steve Vaughan grope for the light switch on this one, as two fathers again seek God's will for their daughters.

“ Good Sermon, But A Little Confused! ” Hello Kevin Swanson, it's me for the third time. In continuing my concerns & comments in regards to women's role in society, the feminist movement had helped destroy the God created family model though, but I'm sorry, more of the blame needs to be placed on a lot of men who were supposed to take responsibility in ensuring that society is runned in an equitable & righteous manner. I believe the Feminist Movement was more so a defense mechanism against the abuses and injustices of women in society in general. And if we look at the beginning, why did Adam not stop Eve from committing the first sin? On top of that, he also took part in that sin along with her. He ultimately knew better because God directly told Adam not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good & evil. He was ultimately irresponsible for that since he was the man created before the woman. It's just like many other men being quite irresponsible of their roles. The freedoms and equitable rights of all individuals whether male or female are abounding in the Kingdom of God. My husband is an honorable and highly respectable man and I don't have a problem submitting to him as his wife. My last concern is about if women were only homemakers, how is she carry on the economy of the household if her husband leave?

“ Good Sermon, But A Little Confused! ” Hello Kevin Swanson, it's me again. I do have some concerns in regards to some things that were said on the 12/11/07 episold in regards of women being too limited of roles in this world we live in today. I also was watching the episold in regards about The Monstrous Regiment of Women by Colin Gun & his brother as well and was a little troubled about a comment about the women such as Debra and some other women were only the exception and weren't really appropriate to do so. Now, Isaiah 3:12 "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." That particular verse is only a small part of the whole picture. I read the whole 3rd Chapter to hopefully get a better understanding of it. My understanding so far is that this chapter is really addressing a much wider issue in regards to how God will punish the evil & proud people; men & women alike. I don't necssary agree with the feminists' point of view, but they are not the whole blame for women being too domineering over men in society. The primary blame should first be put on many men abusing their authority over women such as them spiritually, emotionally, and physically abusing women throughout history. Another comment.

“ Good Sermon, But A Little Confused! ” Hello Kevin Swanson, I enjoy listening to your shows on the Sermon Audio. I was just listening to your episold actually hosted by Mike Cheney and Steve Vaughan in behalf of your absence. However, I do have some cocerns and questions in regards of women's role in the church and world. First, my question is is it a sin for a woman to remain single or work outside the home as deemed necssary? My second question is that did God condemned the women in the Bible who held some sort of leadership position, especially in the world affairs? My last question is, are women only good for having babies and staying at home all the time or do women have some additional roles in the administration in society. I may have to write another comment to finish what I have to say. Please feel free to clarify these questions I have for you. I'm going to voice my concerns in my next comment. Thanks in advance.
