In this post I will continue to focus on speaker and writer Nancy Campbell. She has made the following statement:
Nancy Campbell: "God created the man to be the provider, protector and priest of the home."
My Comment:
As for the man being the provider, in Genesis 1:26-28 God created the man and the woman to rule over Creation together.
In Proverbs 31 we read of a business woman as follows:
Proverbs 31:16
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sees that her trading is profitable....
In Acts 16:14 we read of a businesswoman named Lydia
One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira.
In Acts 18:1-3 we read of a woman named Priscilla who was a tentmaker together with her husband.
After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome.Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.
We read of women who followed Jesus and provided for Him according to
Luke 8:1-3
After this, Jesus travelled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from who seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
P.S. I will continue this subject in my next post.
