Salvation and "family values"

1 Timothy 2:15 New International Version (NIV)

15 But women[a] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

"...now that our kids are out of the early years of diapers and naptimes, out of the constant cycle of ear infections and throw-up bugs, out of car seats and high chairs and strollers—I see that the journey into typical motherhood offered its own narrative of change and growth, of breaking me apart, only to transform me yet again. It offered a call to sacrifice, even if it was simply a sacrifice of time and physical endurance. Sacrifice is always a form of hardship, and yet when it emerges out of love, it has the power to make us new." -- Amy Julia Becker, "Ordinary Moms, Everyday Heroes"
