Moth\u00ader\u2019s Day is an odd Sun\u00adday in most church\u00ades. Pas\u00adtors get up and talk about Proverbs 31 or some oth\u00ader pre\u00addictible text, and then give every lady a rose. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not actu\u00adal\u00adly preach\u00ading this week\u00adend (Paula is, as it turns out), but if I was I\u2019d be look\u00ading for a more unusu\u00adal angle. For instance, here are some less\u00ader-known vers\u00ades which touch on the theme of moth\u00ader\u00adhood.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Psalm 109:14 \u2014 may the sin of his moth\u00ader nev\u00ader be blot\u00adted out.<\/strong><\/li>\n

  3. Jere\u00admi\u00adah 22:26 \u2014 I will hurl you and the moth\u00ader who gave you birth into anoth\u00ader coun\u00adtry<\/strong>, where nei\u00adther of you was born, and there you both will die.<\/li>\n
  4. Hosea 2:2 Rebuke your moth\u00ader<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Hosea 4:5 I will destroy your moth\u00ader<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Luke 12:53 They will be divid\u00aded, father against son and son against father, moth\u00ader against daugh\u00adter and daugh\u00adter against moth\u00ader<\/strong>, moth\u00ader-in-law against daugh\u00adter-in-law and daugh\u00adter-in-law against moth\u00ader-in-law.<\/li>\n
  7. Deuteron\u00ado\u00admy 22:7 You may take the young, but be sure to let the moth\u00ader go<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Exo\u00addus 23:19 Do not cook a young goat in its moth\u00ader\u2019s milk.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Job 17:14, CEV: say to the worms, \u201cHel\u00adlo, moth\u00ader!\u201d <\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. Lev 18:7, MSG She is your moth\u00ader. Don\u2019t have sex with her.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Maybe Proverbs 31 isn\u2019t such a bad choice after all\u2026 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
