In The Present World

We live in a world where God has been placed as a secondary value. There are few men that are actually striving to be the accountable and God centered men that God has demanded. There are very few that even understand the idea of being a priest of their own home.
In this reality an additional problem has arisen; women seeking to surrender their all to God have been left with very limited numbers of men that could be considered as Godly headship. When you add to this the fact that the world around them has robbed women of the beauty of the position God created them for. On one hand men have been brought up without any idea of accountablility or responsibility, on the other hand women are told to take on many responsiblities that the majority never really wanted. Do not get me wrong the ideas of the womens movement are great for dominant women, but true submissives are left feeling failure because they just don't get it.
Because of this vacum many women who seek to give up the last aspects of self are left feeling helpless. This then is another reason for expanded families. If the family has God as it's absolute center, then all parties can find their greatest ability to stay on the path to the kingdom of heaven. I have said this a million times, "If God is not the center of any relationship (no matter what its formation) it is destin to fail.
Women who see expanded families as a way of fulfilling their God given purpose have to become more active in their persuit of a Godly household. I know that they have been hurt badly in the past, but just kno0w there are families out there that can and will accept you.
