The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." (Genesis 2:18)

Women have always been under attack. Back in Roman times, women were enslaved and forced to have many men's children in order to build up the slave population. In the Middle Ages, they were turned into whores and witches with the spread of primitive, pagan practices. In the beginning, God made Eve to partner with Adam, but ever since Eve fell from grace, women have been trying to climb out from under the stigma of her downfall. Trouble is, it's often hard to tell which way is up.

In the early days of America, we got a taste of what it could be like, and we made wonderful progress. The best of the best came looking for the kind of life they knew God wanted for them. Families worked together to survive, husband and wife side by side, and they built this great country. Women took care of hearth and home. Their husbands kept them safe from the wilds of their new world. Families prayed together, heads bowed to our most generous Father, and in return, He gave us this great land, America.

In the modern era, however, women have come under attack again. The enemy, the very same that tempted Eve in the Garden, would love to destroy everything we've built. Given its way, it will disconnect us from our families and from God. And, the weapon it uses is confusion. It whispers to us that we are the same as men, that our roles are male roles. It whispers to us that we can do it all alone, without a partner, without God.

God's light and love clears that confusion like the sun chasing away the morning fog. When you bask in His glory, you find your role is clear. There's a reason women are different. Women are important to God's plan, and we have a place next to our men that no one else can fill. It's long overdue for women to step back into the roles intended for them: those of wife and mother.

It's so easy, in today's world, for a woman to get confused and to take on more than she can handle. The serpent is wily. Women have to support one another and teach their daughters—and their sons—how to fulfill the roles that will bring them the most happiness. I've co-authored a soon-to-be-released book, called The Rape of Eve, and dedicated it to all my spiritual sisters out there. With all the mixed messages women receive these days, it is my abiding hope that this book will serve as a beacon to lead them out of the fog and into the fulfillment of their supporting role.
