Jeff Pollard says that we are living in a generation of younger Christian families who are perplexed what to do in regards to what biblical femininity looks like. Parents ought to be teaching their daughters the importance of being wives and mothers and that this is a high calling.

Proverbs 14:1 (NKJV) - "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands."

Feminism has had an extraordinary impact, primarily negative, on a biblical view of women and their roles. So we're living in a generation of younger Christian families who really are perplexed about what to do with their women. I once counseled a young woman who had come with her husband and they were trying to get their feet on the ground. And as husband and wives and as new Christians, they were sensing a desire in their hearts to have a biblical family, but were really struggling with it. And I asked the young woman, I said, Well, what's your biggest problem at this point?

And she said, Well, I was basically raised to be a man. And that really captures the quandary that many young Christian families are facing. They're taught they can do anything that men can do, and that they're virtually in competition with all the men on the planet for the jobs, for the careers, and the home has been profoundly neglected or at least at best significantly changed. I wouldn't say marred. So what do we do with the girls?

Well the first thing we do is we thank God for them. The second thing we do is that we love them deeply. Thirdly, fathers and mothers need to do all that they can to scour the scriptures and to read good literature about how to bring up girls to be virtuous women. And I believe that that's an extraordinary task. I don't think it's just about dirty diapers and washing dishes.

I think from the very youngest ages, and it's going to depend, of course, on the child's abilities, the various skills, the parents' own abilities to read where a child is. But from the very youngest age, they ought to be teaching their daughters the importance of being mothers, the importance of being wives. They need to be taught that they have a high calling to be a man's partner, to work along with the covenant head of the family in establishing a home that brings glory to the Lord Jesus Christ with roles of biblical men and biblical women.
