This Just In: Mothers Are a Threat To Civilization!

That's right.  If you have a degree and specialized training in a specific area that would be well-suited for the workplace, but you are one who chooses to be a stay-at-home mom, you are a threat to our civilization.  At least, that's what feminist thinker Linda Hirshman believes.

How utterly absurd!  And so agrees Paul Brewster who contributed this recent article to Baptist Press.  Have a very happy Mother's Day.  Moms are a blessing and a gift from God.

Get Your Resume Ready

… and your church will get the U-haul if you do not recognize mothers on Mother’s Day!

At least, that’s what I’ve been told.

Mother’s Day is a very special day in our church. We take time to honor the oldest (or should I say, the most seasoned) mom and the mom with the most children. A sermon usually commences on the subjects of the glory of God in the gifts of mothers. After the invitation time, we have a Parent-Child Dedication to honor all the new babies and the children who have not yet been dedicated by their parents to the Lord.

What do you do for Mother’s Day? Do you feel compelled to preach a sermon dealing with Moms? Do you honor moms in the way I’ve outlined above? I’d like to hear your thoughts.

I’ll post some conclusions I’ve come to on Monday.
