Mothers of Faith

Rev. Dennis R. Hartman

The name mother has lost its precious meaning in our day! In our day it simply means that some woman is having a baby. More and more they have children for a number of reasons; because of passion, for monetary gain, to be something they wanted to be. We have even come to believe that having children is an inconvenience and so they are disposable! This is a very sad commentary on the decline of motherhood. The meaning to the title mother is given to those who give birth to children which are precious and looked at with anticipation. A mother will nourish them in their infancy. They are to teach the right things to their children. They have a bond with the child that carries through their life. The Apostle Paul uses the term of a nursing mother to describe how they taught the church at Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians 2:7)
