This hurts. A lot.
Especially since I am a pro-life conservative who has stayed “pure” well into middle age while no husband appeared, and my very purity ensured my barrenness. I go to church every Sunday, read my Bible, pray, volunteer for the local pregnancy center. (Ironic I know.) Yet stupid, cruel men like Isher write articles like this condemning all childless, single women for society’s evils.
Because woman’s only telos—the only thing we can possibly be used for by God—is incubating babies and nurturing only what our bodies produce. (People who rant about how women need to all stop working and immediately become SAHM’s dismiss the notion that we can nurture children from other wombs.) If you are sterile or couldn’t marry a Christian man so you remained a virgin forever, you simply don’t count with these people.
I cry a lot. Then I get rip snorting mad at the unjust, cruel, false accusations men like Isher and countless others make against all women like me. Because they don’t care about people. Not really. Just numbers and political power.
Maybe if the western churches had not been driving away people who aren’t “our type” the memberships would not have dwindled so low. If the memberships were higher they would have played a more prominent role in the community and fostered more friendships. This would have led to more socializing which would have led to more marriages.
Isher, Joel Webber, Al Mohler and the rest can thank the short sightedness of western churchianity for the atomization of society. By freezing out weirdos who didn’t fit their mold they threw away a lot more people than they intended to.
This cold, unloving attitude among church attenders—even for those wishing to attend—is one of the biggest turn-offs for the unsaved. Don’t think they don’t see the heartless way we treat one another.
And don’t attribute it entirely to how holy and godly our lifestyles are or that we call abortion and unchastity sins. Being persecuted for righteousness brings a blessing. But the lost also say very uncomplimentary things that are true.
“By this shall all men know you…”
Smaller churches lead to weaker communities which lead to lower marriage rates among young people who would love to settle down and have families but have few social venues to meet each other. When they observe how churches treat singles and they fail to marry early on a lot of young people may not care to hang around. After all the family friendly churches seem to say, “Church isn’t made for you. No spouse or kids means you don’t belong.” Since it’s even harder to find a spouse outside the church nowadays, the odds are good they won’t return.
In shaming singles and freezing them out, western churches may have unintentionally exacerbated the problem they wanted them out for. Food for thought.
(Stronger churches, communities and friendships would have made the lockdowns harder to achieve. Areas where these exist did retain more freedom and will be harder for the NWO to take down.)
Part of the excessive singleness is due to sin, but not always the sin of those who wind up single. In wicked cultures like ours, the innocent suffer for the sins of others. Such as the aborted babies. Maybe people should be lest hasty to make blanket generalizations and condemnations about certain demographics they personally dislike. Jesus died for them too.
In his zeal to hold the feminists accountable for their actions Pastor Isher should be asked how they become pregnant. A tango takes two. Surely, he doesn’t believe women reproduce spontaneously. Yet he seems to think reviving the old double standard along with 1950’s crinolines and pearls will fix everything wrong with our world.
Putting women back in the kitchen as SAHMs (and throwing away the older childless singles who couldn’t fit the mold) is supposed to fix everything wrong with the world. How does anyone plan on doing this? Assuming such nonsense were true since the 1950’s housewives and dads in suits led to the 1960’s “free love” stoners this triumph of culture war would be short lived.
Women have abortions because they do not love the babies God gave them. The men they sleep with do not want to marry and be fathers because they don’t want to be “tied down” either. They also have no love for the women whose bodies they pleasure themselves with and are often happy to pay for the abortion they urge her to have if she “gets in trouble.” Since they don’t love the babies sent by God either.
Without a family a loving, supportive church home can be invaluable. Single women will obey the church leadership and receive support in obeying God as they were called. Instead of messing around getting pregnant they can serve the church and local community in many ways. Even volunteering for hours a week at the local pregnancy centers which gently and lovingly dissuade desperate women from abortions by offering them support and material needs.
Winning “culture wars” by power and brute force was not the church’s original mission. Forget the transient culture of this dying world. Win souls by loving one another, holy living on a personal level, and deeds of love and mercy to glorify God in Heaven. And pray. A lot.
Minor correction: most women who have abortions are married or otherwise in a committed relationship. The notion that women have abortions because the guy doesn't love them is outdated crap.
