In the 3/18/2011 broadcast of Grace to You with John MacArthur, he talks about the roles of wives as described in the Bible. Now before discounting such role identities as 'old fashioned' - consider how culture and society is today versus the "golden age" or "innocent age" when shows like The Andy Griffith Show
or Leave it to Beaver aired on TV rather than "Pretty Little Liars" and being obsessed with teenage looking vampires (yes I'm staring at you Ed, right in your sparkly face). So be open minded and consider the points as you listen to John:Grace to You
The letter he reads from a working Mom is especially convicting and moving. The letter is towards the end around 8:39 or so (for some reason the video's counter counts down rather than up, so its at the 8 min 39 sec TIL end mark). Summarizing, she mentions her story, working from home ...out of seeming necessity, and how the Christian world around her stood silent and unmoving to offer any form of assistance whatsover. Shame on us for allowing someone praying and striving to find Jesus; and in us not finding Him at all.
I was convicted to be more watchful and keep my eyes and ears open to those around me that may well be hurting or in need of something even I can give. We all have the ability to perform miracles in the daily lives of those around us.
