Comment on The Dangers of Being Gospel-Centered by Luma Simms

Julian, I'm very late in reading this post. This is very good, and as someone who lived for a long time with what I consider to be "gospel amnesia," reclaiming gospel-centeredness has brought a spiritual renaissance to my life and to our family. However, you are absolutely correct in saying that all those thoughts and all the talk should/must come out of our fingertips also.

Many thanks.

I think it's possible for Moms to work and take care of a family but even before Adam and Eve sinned (before sin entered the world) women were to make sure that their household was taken care of above all else. Kudos to the moms who can have an organized home and still work. I just think God's desire is for women to care for the families first and foremost. Even in Proverbs 31 she buys a field and tends to it (bringing income into her home). That is biblical. So etsy and other business (in my opinion are biblical if that suits your personality.) But I think one must ask the question… Is my family my first priority?

I appreciate what you are saying, but who says that women can't pursue development of their God given intelligence and have a family? I love my children, but I was a miserable SAHM. I believe it is the hardest job in the world and I was so lonely and depressed. Thankfully, my husband was able to run his business and look after the children when they were small. Now that they are in school full-time, why would I want to stay at home and look after an empty house? I totally appreciate your point, but it only seems to take into account parents with very small children at home.

I don't believe that God would have given me a desire for learning and higher education (I have a master's degree) and then expect me to do nothing with that. I am not saying that parents who stay at home aren't intelligent, but one size doesn't fit all.
