"No Time For
Politics" by Charles Dana Gibson
Women who are at home full time are usually the ones who
can be relied upon to keep up with political issues that
threaten the family. They have the freedom to research impending
legislation, write articles, and try to keep the public aware of threats
to marriage, home, family, and, ultimately, our nation. Since the home,
consisting of husband, wife, and children, is the foundation of a nation, any
threats to its existence are of major concern to all of us.
However, all these causes, from the right to life, to threats
against home schooling, and even the pollution of our food, though
worthy, can take away time and strain the emotions that are
needed to concentrate on their duties at home.
I will define the agenda of what is commonly known as
the invisible or secret government (not so invisible anymore, thanks to the
web), and show how the homemaker can make a political statement and
counteract these diabolical schemes, without spending her emotions and the time
that rightly belongs to her family.
This enemy that has infiltrated our representative
government and the office of the president will not sleep until the following
things on its agenda are accomplished:
1) The abolishment of all ordered government Now that you see their aim, you can certainly understand why it is the Christian's duty to protect marriage, private property, the accuracy of the Bible, and the right to live Christian principles found within it. Here are some things you can do about it.

1.
Teach your children well, and use
textbooks that explain the biblical purpose of government and the beginnings of
our government. Revisionist history taught in public schools gives the next
generation a warped view of our founding fathers and the biblical purpose of
forming a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
The elitists who change our history will also change
the minds of our children through their control of the public schools, turning
out thousands of graduates each year who will naively fall in with this plan to
abolish good government. Homeschooling is the most powerful way of
doing politics in your home, and it is also delightful. It bonds children to
their parents and to each other in the home. It gives them a love for their
country so that they, as adults, will want to keep it free.
The goals of the revisionists and progressives are to make
the state the new home, the new womb, the new parents, the care-givers from
daycare to death, the new ministers, the new life, and the new tomb. To do
this, they have to accomplish the seven things listed above. This involves
dictating to us through media persuasion and the public schools--everything we
do--from the kind of food we eat to our health care. Their doctrine promises a
type of utopia when their agenda is followed, an agenda that involves
separating families from their authorities and using "experts" to run
the family.
"Sweet Dreams" by Consuelo Gamboa

The most far-reaching political control you can wield is to
stay home with your children from birth. This will do the children and society
more good than all the government programs, all the government education, and
all the opportunities society might offer them. Staying home with your baby
changes things more than any political convention. It is better than welfare,
better than WIC, better than daycare, better than public schools. Of all the
things that adults today speak most longingly for is a happy childhood, and
that cannot be provided by the state. The hand that rocks the cradle still
rules the world. This is one reason that government creates schemes to get
children into daycares and schools earlier and earlier. They know that the only
thing that stands in their way of getting these seven things are the mothers at
home with their children and the parents being the biggest influence on their
children.
One way to get a western nation to succumb easily to
socialism and atheism and, ultimately, one-world government dictatorship is
to gain control of the education system. Mothers who stay home with their
children from birth will have greater control over the beliefs and values
of the next generation. Being home with them means greater freedom to
teach many different things. Homeschoolling your children is like voting for
home and family; a vote that is cast daily and is felt so strongly that the
political change agents tremble at the thought of it.
One of the basic aspects of child-training is the concept of
obedience. If you do not get your child's obedience early, they will not
understand the grave importance of honoring their parents later on. When
children are taught to obey their parents, they are less likely to follow
other people or obey those that are not their God-given authorities.
You can read more about the consequences of
disobedience in the Biblical accounts of Absolom, Rehoboam, and even
Samson. My blog, guardthehome.blogspot.com
has articles designed to make parents realize the responsibility they have
to see that children respect them. Another way to control people is to divide
their loyalties by causing rebellion at home. We need to get back to
authoritative parents who are concerned about the generation beyond themselves.
Rather than being a negative word, obedience to parents is designed to protect
children and young adults.

Marla, from allposters.com # 349883
Training children to be mannerly and honoring will enrich
the parents later on. There is a now a wealth of Biblically oriented resources
for training children in good conduct, including George Washington’s
Rules of Conduct, which he wrote when he
was only 13 years old.
2.
Keep your property in the family if
possible. I heard of a man recently who bought his parents' homestead
back after it had changed owners several times. His children were able to
have some of the family history at their feet. If you have substantial
property, be sure to hand it down to your children so that they can have a home
and a place to belong and raise their families there. You can help
other people with the same sentiments get their own property by selling to
them, privately, without interest.
Many people who had homesteads in the 1940's and 50's
thought that property would be always be easily acquired, so they did not hand
down their property to their children. Many grown children, having been
educated in government schools and liberal colleges, came home with different
values than their parents and did not see the need to keep private
property. If you have a home in a neighborhood, it is valuable as private
property. Taking care of it and keeping it from heavy mortgages is a way of
keeping your right to private property. I have also heard that there are
ways of getting the original deeds on property to secure it.
“Coming Home” by
Christa Kieffer, from allposters.com, # 858580
Family property needs to be regarded for its personal and
historic value rather than its resale value. Plan early to have something for
your children, and do all you can to keep it debt-free.
Keep and protect personal property in the form of heirlooms, photographs, furniture, and art for your children,
making note of where it came from and who owned it. Help your children to
appreciate the past by having some of these things in your home. Seek out
elderly relatives who can tell you about your family's history. Learning about
the sacrifices they made is an important part of preserving our history, our
families, and our property.
Whether you are propertied or not, make your dwelling place
beautiful with personal family touches inside and out. Make the home an
expression of yourself and your family's personal beliefs.
Express the Christian value of personal responsibility by
making your home and gardens neat, clean, and as lovely as possible. When we
are not good stewards of our property, we risk the danger of it being removed
from us in some way. Deterioration of property can cause debt, attract
thieves, and create danger to people around us. Neglected property,
whether we rent or own it, sends a message that we don't care about
our environment. Neglecting property is poor citizenship and a bad
influence on the family. Caring for it expresses gratitude, no matter how small
it is. Even if you do not own your home, treating rental property as if it were
your own, and taking care of it, will find favor with the owners. Many people
have been able to own their own homes just because a landlord was impressed
with their willingness to look after the property. Children are members of
the family and should be taught to care for the family property. It will
increase their desire to protect it.
“Grandma's Collectibles”
by Carolyn Watson, allposters.com #146090
Keep photograph albums, diaries, and other memorabilia of
your family and your dwelling place. It is still common to see photographs
from the 1800's showing families standing outside in front of their homes, as
if they felt their property was part of their family. My daughter peeked into
her grandmother's diary and found an entry that said, "Today I finished my
embroidered pillowcases, done in purple and green." Now she knew where the
pillowcases came from that had been handed down to her and who made them.

Biblical example that helps the next generation get on their feet
without debt. "A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's
children" (Proverbs

Be Patriotic in ways other than just
getting teary-eyed when the national anthem plays. Patriotism is the love of
your country to the point that you do what you can to keep it dignified. People
do not realize that when they allow carelessness in their standards of dress,
standards of speech, standards of behavior and manners, worship habits, respect
for property, etc. that it can harm their country.
A country is more than a piece of land or a continent. It is
a history and a belief.
Confirm they soul in
self control,
Thy
liberty in law.
Till all success be nobleness,
And
every gain divine!

There was a student newspaper circulated with
a huge curse word on the headline. Someone defended it by saying
it was a civil right to express themselves and that it was part of
the freedom of speech clause in the Constitution. Our forefathers never
intended for a free press or free speech to mean polluting our country with
vile, useless, insulting speech. The freedom of speech was intended to allow
the gospel to be spread and good things to be
accomplished, unhindered. Foul, primitive speech does not make a great
nation.

You can be politically active by being patriotic in the biblical
character qualities that make a nation strong. True patriotism means to care
more for a principle than for money, status, or social acceptance.

Renew your faith and rededicate
your life to Christ. In doing so, be determined, even to the point of
being stubborn, to be faithful in worship and Christian duty. Stand
for the right, no matter what the cost. I once heard several people
talking about how hard it was to get to church on Sunday. One said that just
about the time she got ready, there was an emergency. Another one said the car
would not start. Another one stated that her relatives would drop by. The last
one said, "I guess I'm just too stubborn. I insisted on honoring my Lord
on the Lord's Day early in my life, and eventually, friends and relatives knew
better than to interfere."
Many families have kept their children from having stable
church families just because of their own neglect and lack of
conscientiousness. Not having consistent worship habits, girls and boys have
grown up deprived of the church relationships that would support them in times
of need, from their weddings, the birth of their children, and in their
spiritual hardships.
“Going to Church” by
G.H. Boughton, allposters.com #1865949
As a preacher's wife of 36 years, I have observed the way
people will run to the church when they are in trouble, but when the church
members sacrifice their time and give of their means to help and the pressures
cease, the ones who asked for help forget the Lord, Who rescued them, and
go back to neglecting the assembling of themselves. It is a sad reflection of a
culture that has a sense of entitlement: they want to take more than they give.
When children turn 18, a little bird seems to tell them they
don't have to go to church any more. After all the effort their parents made to
see that they understood the privilege of worship, these children forget to pay
the Lord, their parents, and the congregation back for their efforts.
“The Journey to
Emmaus” by Robert Zund, allposters.com #1779544
Young adults should strive to make churches multi-generational
by replicating their parents and bringing their own children up with good
worship habits. Besides this, they need to have enough Bible knowledge to
recognize the error of the many vain philosophies that turn our children's hearts
from the truth and make churches weak.
Do more than just go to church; live the standards of the
Bible
. Do not make the mistake of thinking that, since you go
to church, your children will learn these standards. In the morning, mothers
can read a verse to their children and discuss it, and in the evening, fathers
can do the same. Every aspect of Christian living should be discussed in the
family, so that children are aptly warned about ruining their lives and
sufficiently encouraged to conduct themselves with wisdom. They should learn
how to think, how to act, and how to speak according to Biblical values.
“
Your desire to follow the Biblical standards in life will
never take hold as long as you are sending your children to the public schools.
After five days of such indoctrination, you cannot expect them to be interested
in church on Sunday.
Nor can one hour of
church reinforce the biblical standards you desire for your children. The
schools have control of your children's minds for more hours in the week,
making it impossible to compete in the battle for the mind.

“Southern Hospitality”
by Kevin Liang, allposters.com #1112528
Live the Christian life by making sure that you do your part
to show hospitality and generally use your talents to serve others, whether it
be helping young women to have beautiful homes, or sending care packages in the
mail. Women at home doing things like this make a tremendous political
statement about their religion and deal a blow to those who are trying to shut
down Christian expression.

Work hard at having an old-fashioned marriage
with one husband and one wife for a lifetime. This example alone makes
an enormous political statement that flies in the face of the progressive
political agenda. Defend the concept of marriage, but also defend your own
marriage. There are always darts and arrows aimed at creating conflict between
husbands and wives. Husbands should never say anything about their wives or their
marriages to others that sounds discouraging or demeaning, and wives should not
portray their husbands as oppressors or inconsiderate or unmanly.
One such example is the man who tells his co-worker that he
isn't able to make ends meet with his salary. His co-worker asks him, "Is
your wife working?" to which he replies, "No, she is at home."
Then the friend answers smugly, "Well, there is your problem. Your wife
needs to
do something."
Another example is when the wife tells her friend how she is
cutting back on the use of electricity by turning off lights and heat in unused
rooms. The friend says, "Why don't you get a job?" and the woman
answers, "My husband wants me home." The friend then says, "I
would never put up with a dictator husband like that. If he let you got a job,
you wouldn't have to worry about things like that."
These kinds of reactions can break down the respect that people have for women
at home. Husbands and wives need to practice careful wording when explaining
the reason for the wife being home. People today are looking for cracks in the
Christian marriage and in the different roles of men and women that we portray.
Therefore, we need to be careful to word our message in a way that portrays the
husband or wife in a positive light:
"I'm glad my wife is at home. She saves us a lot of
money just by not having the extra expenses of daycare and gasoline. More
importantly, I have a real home to return to after dealing with work all day.
The children are also taught the values we believe in."
"I am happy my husband is convicted about being the
provider. I could never manage without his support. I am learning how to keep
from putting extra expense on him so that we can double our money. I stay home
because I am trying to make my life fall in line with the teachings of Christ
and His will for the family."
“Mother and Child” c.
1885 by Francis Coates Jones, allposters.com #377172
I have seen terrible misunderstandings created just by the way people portray their own husbands or wives to those who are proponents of the feminist beliefs. We can do a lot to alleviate the pressures from the outside world just by being careful to show our marriages in a good light and not revealing our personal problems to those who do not believe in the distinctively different roles of men and women in the marriage. There is also a political effort to eliminate the need for marriage, home, and family. Some proponents of this would like for us all to live in institutions, divided by age groups or special interests, but God created the family to be one man, one woman, and their children. Only a few years ago, the grandparents and great-grandparents lived in houses on the same property as the family, where they were safe and protected. Today, there are those who want the elderly cared for by the state and not by the family, but the home is the only God-given institution that provides for the family from cradle to grave. There are those who want the government to take over this function.

When Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) went to France, he
was asked by the international bankers ( a banking firm that "takes
care" of other people's money, loans it out to yet other people, and
charges exorbitant usury, clearly in violation of the Bible) why the American
colonies were so prosperous. He answered them, "It is because we own
our own money and we circulate it freely so that commerce can easily
flow." The international bankers were determined to get control of
All that has to be done is to root them out again, as
President Andrew Jackson did during his years in office (1829-1837). The
effects of him getting rid of the bankers were felt for 75 years afterwards,
during which

The abolishment of all ordered government There is a popular form of economics called Keynesian
economics, which replaced Biblical economics in our country, that keeps us
endlessly in debt, paying higher and higher interest rates. You can make a
great political change in our economics by returning to the Biblical standards
of handling finances.
Families can also vote for the candidates who stand for the
sanctity of life and the preservation of marriage between one man and one
woman. The way a candidate feels about life often affects his approach to
economics.
Ask your local candidates some hard questions such as,
"What are you going to do about the Federal Reserve?" This banking
system, which sounds so "official," is nothing more than a few greedy
people who want to enslave the rest of society. They are the ones behind all
seven of the goals listed at the beginning of this article. They have been
rooted out before, due to a very brave president, and with the will of informed
people today and the effect of the Internet, they can be rooted out once more to
give our children and children's children a chance to live in freedom once
again--the kind of freedom our forefathers bravely established when the country
was first founded.
“Cozy Cabin” by Judy
Gibson, allposters.com #913645
World changes begin at home. The home exerts more power than
the family realizes. That is why there are so many pressures against it. The
best thing to do is to live your life abundantly and enjoy all that God has
given you, appreciating the love and beauty around you, and being the wife and
homemaker you really want to be. That is politics enough.
The Bible says that there are seven things that the Lord
hates: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart
that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a
false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren
(Proverbs 6:16). The elitist group, in the form of various organizations,
embraces these in order to complete their agenda of seven goals to dominate and
control us. Women at home can stand in the way of these goals and be more
politically active just by being wives, mothers, homemakers, practicing Bible
precepts, teaching their children, solidifying their marriages, and attending
worship services.
