Welcome to the For the Gospel podcast where we provide sound doctrine for everyday people.

I'm your host, Kosti Hinn, and I've been talking about parenting in this current series

and the importance of raising our kids faithfully. Now, fathers play a very pivotal

role and I covered that last time. If you haven't heard that episode, you should go back and

listen to it. But I want to talk to you today about the impact of godly mothers. You know,

many mothers in the church today might feel like they're overlooked or, you know, the world is

having all of the fun and you're just trapped in the home with kids all day.

Now, this mentality is exacerbated by sentiments like this one I saw on a T-shirt one time.

It said, Mom needs her wine as though, you know, being trapped in the home all day.

And for the way that the kids have ruined her body and taken over her life and she never gets fun. You know, mommy needs her girl's night out to go

burn off some steam, down some wine, and, you know, feel like she's still got it kind of idea.

You see that a lot in worldly literature, worldly media, all of that. And it all spawns from the

lie that you mothers are being held back and you're limited

and you can't do this and can't do that because, you know, the old ball and chain of motherhood.

I would ask this. Could there be any greater lie from hell against women and against mothers?

Make you feel like you're not doing the Lord's work, make you feel limited and, you know, see that limitation as something to loathe rather than a

high calling the Lord is promised to use and then demean motherhood. I mean, that seems like a really

demonic strategy and a really good one if you're trying to destroy the nuclear family.

You know, Susanna Spurgeon knew what it meant to feel limited.

She was married to Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, but for much of her life, her limitation was that she suffered with chronic illness.

There were many days where she couldn't travel.

She couldn't attend the services.
