Parenting & Family
On “Blows that Hurt”:
“Proverbs 20 verse 30 says, ‘Blows that hurt cleanse away evil.’ Blows that hurt cleanse away evil. ‘…As do stripes the inner depths of the heart.’ So the principle here is that God actually designs that the blows hurt.
“Nobody wants to hear that. CPS doesn’t want to hear that. But the Bible actually makes it very clear that it should hurt. And I would just like to suggest, if it doesn’t hurt, you will never secure honor and obedience in your household. Two of the greatest problems in families in our church and everywhere else I’ve ever been in my life, two of the greatest problems are, number one, there’s not consistency in first-time obedience. Number one. Number two, severity is not enough. Those are the two problems. And most of you can fix most of your child training problems with those two things.
“If you say spanking doesn’t work, I’m just going to turn you to severity and also consistency. And that means that the place gets locked down until honor and obedience are secured. The King James Version actually translates the last part of this phrase in Proverbs 20:30 a little bit differently. The New King James has, ‘…As stripes do the inner depths of the heart.’ The King James Version says, ‘…The blueness of the wound… the blows that hurt cleanse away evil.’ So the blueness of the wound cleanses the evil.”

On Withholding Correction:
“But do not withhold correction from your child. If you beat him with a rod, he will not die. Now we don’t want our children to die, but we do want to drive foolishness from them. Now you may be one of those families where you have… the soft-hearted and the disciplined spouse. Or maybe both of you are the soft-hearted. I’m actually going to use something a lot nicer than what I’m going to call it in a minute. I’m calling it soft-hearted now, because you know what I’m talking about.
“But if you call it soft-hearted, you may say, I’m not the strong type. Now, what that really means is you really don’t mind giving your children to the devil. That’s what that means.”

On Warning Children to Obey:
“Calvin knew that dishonor in the heart of a child would mean that earthly blessings would be cut off from them. And he taught that in the family, the name of Father is sacred. And that no one can despise his father without also despising God Himself. And he warned children of the dangers of disobedience declaring that ‘an inevitable curse threatens all stubborn and disobedient children.’
“We have many children in here today. And I would just like to ask you, if you do have dishonor in your hearts toward your fathers, or your mothers, then have you properly calculated the destruction, the trouble, the lack of success that God will throw upon you?
“Calvin said that despising fathers is despising God. He said that submission is a step in our ascent to the supreme parent. You see what he means by this? That your submission to your father is a step. It’s a way that prepares you for the submission to your heavenly Father… And he said that those who violate parental authority are monsters, again. He said that there are curses for disobedient children….
“And if you are a child and your heart is not very sweet and attentive toward your parents, know this- that that sourness extends to God Himself. And that should terrify you, ‘cause God is a consuming fire.”
– Scott Brown

On Stoning Children:
“God hates dishonor so much that in the Old Testament, children were sometimes stoned for it.
“Now we don’t stone children today, but I think we need to understand that God has a certain disposition to our disobedient children. We need to think biblically about obedience and disobedience in children. Well today though, we like to play footsie with the Fifth Commandment. We like to reduce its importance. But we need to understand that there’s something in the heart of God that would authorize the actual stoning of a disobedient child.”

On Spanking Not Being Severe Enough:
“We’re not all comfortable with the same things. But I’ll just be very frank with you. Almost all of the discipline problems that I’m observing with the parents that I know, who really, really have difficult problems getting a handle on this, it’s two things-it’s either intensity or it’s consistency. In other words… the spanking isn’t hard enough.”
– Scott Brown

On Toddlers:
“Now, of course, there are different issues at age one and age two than there are at age four, five, and six. But generally we need to keep our bearings about us, we need to keep our wits about us, that honor and obedience is an important category here. And we need to address it from the earliest time on. When do you address the issue of honor and obedience? When do you punish for disobedience in a child’s life?
“My view is as soon as you see it. As soon as you see it, you should address it. We have many examples of this. Sarah Edwards was one of those mothers who addressed dishonor the moment she saw it, when the child was as young as rebellion seemed to present itself. There’s a common feeling that we can tolerate rebellion in younger children, but not older children. And I just want to challenge that proposition.
“There are people that think you cannot expect a two year-old to obey. And I do understand that there are great difficulties in helping a two year-old to obey. And they certainly are wired in a different way at two than they are at six. Absolutely, no question about it. So a parent has to have understanding as to whether this is true rebellion or there’s something else that really needs to be worked with and that there’s patience that needs to be applied to the situation.”

On, Um, Fishwives?:
“You know how easy it is for a wife to become like a fishwife, a yelling wife, a wife who’s carping at this or that.
“It’s easy to happen if you have disobedient children. Often it’s just a vicious cycle.”
– Scott Brown

On Obeying Imperfect Parents:
“You should obey because your parents are imperfect. This is the way God planned it. He did not mean that you would have perfect parents as your authority. He never intended it. Let that sink in. God did NOT WANT you to have parents who did everything right….
“Keeping God’s command for children to obey their parents is not dependent upon the character of the parents. As long as the command does not cause you to disobey the Lord, it must be responded to as if the Lord Himself spoke it.”

On “Sleep Idolatry”:
“[Proverbs 31:15] speaks of her management of time. This woman rises while it’s still night. She’s not a sleep idolater. Are there any sleep idolaters here? You men sleeping-in longer than your wives while they’re getting up and working, shame on us when we do that. If a wife rises early while it is yet night, let me tell you, a man ought to double it in order to provide a context for all of her labors and even to help her.
“She rises while it is night. You know, this has to do with the government of time. You who have daughters in your house, are you teaching them how to govern their time? Or do you have daughters who just sleep the morning away? Don’t you dare do that. That’s wrong. That’s not preparing a daughter to be a woman like this. You need to be preparing to be a woman like this, not a woman who’s wasting her life away sleeping more than she ought to. Particularly when young girls get in their teen years, often parents just let them sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep….
“I’m just telling you how we apply that in our own family – get-on-deck, get-ready-for-action kind of perspective that I believe women should be instructed in how to get going in a day. Here’s one result of it – my daughters can be ready in a flash. They don’t take hours to get ready. They look absolutely gorgeous in just a few minutes. That’s just the way they are. I know other girls, it takes forever to get them gorgeous.”

Modesty, Courtship, & Purity
On Women Wearing Pants:
“Now, pants were first worn by women in America and when they were, they were instantly considered by the church to be androgynous. And women started wearing pants when they went off to the factories in [World War II]. And then as the 20th century progressed, they were designed to be intentionally alluring. So what started out to be intentional androgyny shifted to be something more than that. And, you know, pants were originally promoted by feminists to get women into the workplace.
“And then with the rise of Hollywood, they were used for seduction because they expose the female form. So that’s why if you look at what the fashion designers say about blue jeans, it’s clear that they are intentionally promoting androgyny and seduction. And they’re just at war with God’s order of man and woman. They want to blur those lines of male and female, but they want to push the limits and draw attention for seduction, for the purposes of seduction.
“And so what the Bible says about modesty can really be summed up in some pretty easy, easy terms. Purity, role distinction, and moderation. Those are the three things. Now, the reason the church in the 20th century, at the turn of the 20th century, thought pants were sinful is because they violated all three of those principles. They violated purity because they revealed female anatomy. Specifically, they violated purity because they exposed the buttocks and the crotch like hadn’t been before.
“And they violated moderation because they drew attention to the physical areas of a woman’s body instead of the hidden person of the heart. The pants were speaking louder than the heart could and they violated the role of distinctiveness.”

On Immodesty Making You Less of a Person:
“Immodesty is drawing attention to yourself. It is identification and association with sinful cultures. It is an obsession with legitimizing oneself through hair or through jewelry or through apparel. Immodesty is often the result of insecurity or arrogance or worldliness, externalized.
“Immodesty is insensitivity to the temptations of men. Immodesty is lack of love for your brother. Immodesty makes you less of a person and more of an object. Immodesty destroys love and it inflames lust.”

In a Speech Promoting John Calvin’s Teachings:
“[Calvin] said that it is not lawful for children to contract marriage, except with the consent of parents. ”
– Scott Brown
Source
In the Same Speech:
“[Calvin] talked about old men marrying younger women. And actually his friend, Farel, as an old man married a very, very young girl. And [Calvin] said, ‘it’s unlawful for old decrepit men to marry young virgins!’ That’s what he said! And so even though, you know, we find marriages five, ten, fifteen years apart, he was talking about guys like John Knox, who in his fifties married a sixteen year-old.
“So, Calvin just didn’t agree with it. Farel disagreed with him. So there you have it. You make your own decision.”

On Harlots, Lust, and Yoga Pants:
“There’s a classification of clothing that Solomon speaks of there in Proverbs chapter 7, and I’ll read the verse: ‘And there a woman met him with the attire of a harlot.’ That’s the code– code word, the attire of the harlot. That’s a category of clothing. It’s a category of alluring clothing. It’s a category of suggestive clothing.
“And in this passage you have the mixture of these two things. You have this classification of clothing – the attire of the harlot – and a crafty heart. So these two both go together. You have the heart and the outward manifestation of that heart.
“And everybody, every man is particularly aware that women can wear clothing that kind of acts like eye-magnets and they draw attention to you… Women should be very careful about what they wear so that they aren’t like eye-magnets. They don’t have the attire of an alluring woman.
“And, of course, we know, you know, the Lord Jesus Christ, you know, he spoke of this in Matthew chapter 5. He said, ‘I say to you, whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.’ That means that men have to govern their eyes. They have to make a covenant with their eyes. They have to look the other direction.
“But, you know, today, like if you go in an airport–I end up in airports every once in a while–and all the women are in yoga pants. And there’s nothing left to be seen, almost. And it’s not helpful, you know, to men.
“Why is it that in the last five years, everybody’s wearing yoga pants? And the truth, you know, many skinny jeans are just thick yoga pants.
“But there’s an attire that is alluring. And that’s the fourth purpose of clothing, and that is to demonstrate God’s passion for purity. So when you stand in front of the mirror, you should be asking yourself, ‘does this demonstrate God’s passion for purity?’”

On Protecting a “little wife in training”:
“Exemplary fatherhood is demonstrated by the man who loves the heavenly vision of family life and takes decisive action to create it. As the head of his household, he creates conditions so that a daughter can become what God calls her to be. He has a little ‘wife in training’ under his roof, who needs to become fit for her calling. It won’t happen through osmosis. A father must rise up and protect his daughter through the knowledge of God.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine By Design”, page 80
On Fathers Being Responsible for their Daughters’ Virginity:
“There in Deuteronomy chapter 22, we know for certain that God holds fathers responsible for the virginity of their daughters. And if they’re accused of not being virgins at the time of their marriage, they have to have proof of it. And the terrible judgment against fornication is that the daughter is actually stoned on her father’s doorstep. The implication is the father is responsible. The father must protect the virginity of his daughter. He actually is charged by God to know whether or not she is chaste and to have evidences for it, to protect it.”

On Appropriate Behavior for Singles in the Church:
“It’s not right for me to be sending emails to women in the church saying, ‘How are you doing? I’m having a nice day.’ That is not appropriate. Do I have an amen? Do I have an affirmation? Can we get feedback here? I mean, I think that’s obvious. Right?…
“But the problem is this, we have no problem with our sons sending young ladies emails and texts. We have no problem with that. Why? Because we’ve lost our marbles. That’s why. We’re not thinking about distinctions of relationships. And if our children are doing it, they’re not thinking clearly. Because if you would be uncomfortable with me doing it, you should be uncomfortable with you doing it.
“Now, if we gathered up all the email accounts of the young people in this church, would we be willing to excommunicate them for dancing around and having nice casual relationships with one another? Well, I just don’t think that’s what we would do.
“But we need to acknowledge that there are appropriate barriers to relationships that are required because of the nature of marriage and the quality of oneness that marriage requires. That’s why it’s not appropriate for me to send emails or texts to other women saying, ‘How are you doing today?’ Because I’m luring them in.”

On Clothing that Excites & Entices:
“[I]f you go to the shopping malls to look for clothing and walk the streets and the beaches to see what folks were wearing, you would think that the purpose of clothing was to reveal your body to excite and entice men, not cover it. The predominance of tight shirts, halter tops, string bikinis, tube tops, mini skirts, belly shirts, swimwear, and athletic clothing tell the story quite effectively.”
– Scott Brown

On Homoerotic Sculptures:
“We have done with clothing the same thing we have done with art. It is exempt from biblical evaluation. For example, most everyone reveres the artistic contributions of Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, who are arguably the most talented painters and sculptors in the history of mankind. Who were these men? Their works were primarily influenced by pagan Greek philosophy which glorified and exposed the naked body. Under the influence of homosexuality, they produced some of the most adored homoerotic sculptures and paintings of the gay community. We call it art.”

Femininity & Feminism
On Not Allowing Daughters to Train for Careers:
“I would like to suggest that to train a daughter of something she has not been designed for or called to do (by God) is ‘setting aside the command of God for the sake of your tradition’ (Matthew 15:3). This is why, in training my girls, I determined to train them only for what the Bible calls them to be and do. This is why I would not allow my daughters to train to be lawyers or politicians or corporate executives. None of these things seem to even come close to fulfilling the biblical vision of womanhood. Therefore I believed that it was wrong for me to cultivate desires for these things, even if my daughters seemed ‘gifted’ in those areas or had a natural passion for them. Our daughters may be gifted in many areas, but they have been clearly appointed to a specific role in life.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine by Design”, pages 11-12
On Cultural Rebellion Against God:
“There are so many confusing and diabolical messages for young women today. Because every culture of the world is at war with God we must communicate to our daughters that if we follow the common culture, we will be embracing it’s [sic] rebellion against God.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine by Design”, page 10
On Daughters Not Staying-at-Home:
“God has not designed a woman to be the helper of every man, but only her own husband (Ephesians 5:22). In the same way, a daughter must learn the biblical principle of focus. The temptation is this: instead of a heart turned toward adding value to your father’s house, and training yourself for this way of thinking, you could be inappropriately occupied outside the home, providing little help and producing little value for your family.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine by Design”, pages 47 -48
On Women Leaving Their Homes:
“Women whose feet wander from home make homes barren and stark. They may be tempted to think that some kind of ministry is worthy to pull them from a homeward life. But we must evaluate and unmask these allurements for what they are. They are often diversions from the world, ready to steal what is beautiful from you and your children. And, they cause the Word of God to be blasphemed. Instead of a keeper at home the devil wants you to spend your energies on everything outside the home. Interestingly enough, in our day of internet communications, a woman can ‘travel’ far from home, and have her heart elsewhere, even though she might be sitting in her house.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine by Design”, page 59
On the Possibility of Widowhood:
“We live in a day and age where women say, ‘I must acquire a marketable skill in case my husband might die so I can take care of myself.’ In contrast, the Bible teaches that if a woman’s husband dies and she has no one to care for her, the church is to care for her. As she is faithful to the church, the church will be faithful to her.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine by Design”, page 36
On Widows Needing to Qualify for Church Aid:
“Think of the focus that we see in the woman mentioned in 1 Timothy 5:3-14. She is not able to be a teacher of men or a leader or do everything that strikes her fancy, because she has her hands full of other valuable occupations. She displays piety at home, repays her parents, trusts in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. She maintains blamelessness, is the wife of one man and is well reported for good works. She brings up children, lodges strangers, washes the feet of the saints, relieves the afflicted and diligently follows every good work. These qualities operating in her life before widowhood, qualify her for help if she ever becomes a widow.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine by Design”, page 46
On Childbearing & Birth Control:
“The Bible says, ‘have lots of babies.’ This message is proclaimed unequivocally and without any qualifications everywhere the subject is mentioned in scripture….
“In contrast, the popular voices of the modern age teach women to be liberated from the constraints of children. They teach women of the inconveniences and dangers of pregnancy. They preach the virtues of small families and the legitimacy of methods for controlling fertility. To achieve this they advocate the use of birth control and even the abortion of living babies.
“Christian people may communicate the same underlying philosophy in gentler terms when they say, ‘God does not prohibit birth control’ and ‘Get to know each other and have your career before you have children.’ In doing so, they deflect the passionate appeals, ignore the explicit uncompromising words and qualify the glowing praises of the Lord regarding children.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine by Design”, pages 67, 68
Note: the phrase “have lots of babies” is not found anywhere in the Bible.

On the Condition of Feminist Women:
“And while the feminist women of this world are being ripped to shreds, and they’re languishing in their lack of satisfaction, and they gnash their teeth–and they do, and they are. And they’re saying, ‘The feminist vision never worked and it’s not helping me at all. I’m bankrupt, I’m empty, I’m deprived.’ That’s what the feminist community is saying.
“And yet they continue on and go back to the slop and the vomit. And the truth is, the world is vomiting them out of its mouth because they’ve defied God. Because they listened to the world and they put themselves in a cubicle. And they sent their children to an institution.
“And now they’re reaping a whirlwind, and they have no legacy. And they’re putting their children to death at the abortuaries of this land. Because they do not love the things that God loves.”
– Scott Brown

On Pagan Cultures Having Career-Women:
“Now let’s acknowledge something. This passage of Scripture [Proverbs 31] is part of the artillery of the cultural warfare that we’re involved in. We’re in a culture that is at war against biblical womanhood. There are a number of propositions, philosophies of womanhood that are purely pagan and they run against these that are here.
“All cultures have women doing particular things. There’s a career track in all pagan cultures for women. In our culture, a woman can do whatever she wants, as long as she’s not limited to her home.
“This passage actually doesn’t give it that way. Now, to say that a woman should focus on her home, these are fightin’ words in our culture. This passage is unabashedly focused on helping women to be focused on their own homes. This is a home-centered, child-centered, husband-centered world that’s presented for women.”
– Scott Brown

On Women Teaching Men:
“Beware of those who would have women teaching the Word of God to men (I Timothy 2:11-13, 1 Corinthians 14:34). Tragically, if you embrace this distorted vision of womanhood, you will lose your femininity, and be robbed of your distinctive beauty in creation. In so doing, you will withhold an aspect of the glory of God from your family, your church and your community. In addition, when women lead, it makes for weak men, powerless churches and dysfunctional governments. It is a sign of the judgement of God on a culture.”
– Scott Brown
“Feminine by Design”, page 25
On Mothers Working Outside the Home:
“If anyone thinks that a woman can lawfully go and live and work in a cubicle when she’s a mother, has to read this verse [Proverbs 31:27] and understand, can you fulfill this? Oh, yes, get a video monitor in your office and claim that you’re watching over your children or at their daycare. Absolutely not. Daycares are wicked places to send your children because you’re not watching over them as a mother.
“Someone else is. God has given you that responsibility, not someone else. This means that you, the mother, watch over the children. You don’t hire someone to watch over your children. God gave you children because you need to watch over them. I know that sounds very harsh in a world where that doesn’t hardly exist. But let me tell you something. The Kingdom of Heaven is the only real world. It’s the only good world.”

Menstruation & Menopause
On Menstruation Being Unclean:
“… I would like to suggest also that it is possible that menstruation is also how a woman can be a figure of an unclean church. The apostle Paul made it clear that a wife was a picture of the church in Ephesians 5:22-33. Therefore, when a woman has her period, she would be reminded of her spiritual uncleanness and the uncleanness of the church without Christ.”
– Scott Brown
Source
On A Husband’s Struggle:
“You know, I’ve often wondered, why does a woman have a menstrual cycle? And she has emotional ups-and-downs as a result. Why do women move into menopause? It is possible that the Lord is showing a husband how patient He is with His church. So a husband has to grapple with those physical things that are going on with her. He’s faithful to her even when she is in a state of despondency or she just doesn’t feel like she used to feel. And God gives her a husband who is patient with her in the midst of–whatever that might be. But perhaps God gave menstrual cycles and menopause for husbands to help them see the love that He has for his church.”

On Gossiping:
“Keep quiet. Zip it… If you can’t say anything nice, just don’t say it. Don’t share your pain. We live in a culture which teaches us to just share any ol’ thing coming out of our old black ol’ heart. Well, this isn’t the counsel of the Lord. This is the counsel of a wicked culture saturated in ungodly psychological principles.”

How Scott Brown Thinks the Salem Witch Trials Went:
“Here are five forces that created the crisis. Most of them are related to faulty fatherhood practices in dealing with sin in the home. Tragically, the failure of these fathers spilled over to defile the church and the community.
“First, fathers allowed destructive influences into their homes. Pastor Samuel Parris allowed a Caribbean slave girl named Tituba to influence his daughter and other girls in the community with her fortunetelling, séances, and other activities. It was these girls who became the accusers of those who were put to death.
“Second, fathers refused to discipline their children for unloving hearts and behavior. When Giles Corrie, a man in the community, stood up in the trial and said in effect, ‘I can solve this in a few minutes… these girls need to be spanked by their fathers.’ The girls accused him of witchcraft, and he was convicted and pressed to death. The fathers of these girls were not managing their households well. On the contrary, their daughters were controlling their households. These fathers were not exercising good government in their houses by allowing their children to dishonor godly people in the community….
“Fifth, there was judicial excess in the rejection of biblical laws regarding evidence. The admission of spectral evidence in the courtroom (testifying that so and so’s ghost appeared and tormented someone) was a violation of biblical law. This unlawful procedure was the sole evidence for many of the convictions.
“In desperation, the town authorities called upon the Puritan pastor, Increase Mather, and his son Cotton, to help them. These two men spoke out strongly against the trials and called for the implementation of the biblical principle that no one can be convicted of a crime except on the testimony of two or three witnesses. The Mathers brought sanity to the situation, the trials ended, and the accused were released from prison. The Reverend Samuel Parris was driven from the village.”
– Scott Brown

Notes:
- Tituba was the first to be accused in the witch trials. She was the slave of Samuel Parris, and records on her life are scant. However, “Nowhere in the court records or contemporary accounts is Tituba said to have taught the practice of fortune telling to the girls in Rev Parris’ house.” (Source)
- In fact-checking this retelling of the witch trials, I am unable to find any sources for the quote (or any similar such statement) that Brown attributes to Giles Corey. While Giles Corey was eventually pressed to death after refusing to enter a plea, this followed after he testified against his own wife Martha.
- The roles of Cotton Mather and Increase Mather are also much more murky than Brown’s retelling indicates. (Source) While Increase Mather did push back on the inclusion of spectral evidence in the court, he also defended the role of the judges in the trial. After the trials had concluded, Cotton Mather wrote a book defending the trials.
Where Are They Now?
Beyond Vision Forum
Prior to Doug Phillips’ downfall, Scott Brown was on the board of Vision Forum Ministries, which was the non-profit side of Vision Forum. Doug Phillips also served on the board of The National Center for Family-Integrated Churches (NCIFC).
According to a statement put out by the VFM board in April of 2014, the board members were unaware of Phillip’s “inappropriate relationship” prior to September of 2013, when they began to investigate the issue.
Scott Brown was also the author of many articles which were posted on the VFM website, and both Doug Phillips and Scott Brown spoke at many of the same conferences and events. Vision Forum‘s catalog also sold multiple books and cds by Scott Brown.
A few years after the fall of Doug Phillips, and the subsequent closing of both Vision Forum and Vision Forum Ministries, Scott Brown’s organization, The National Center for Family-Integrated Churches, rebranded to become Church and Family Life.

So far as I am able to tell, Scott Brown’s views have not changed in any noteworthy way.
Many of the same articles and resources from old-school NCFIC are still available on the rebranded Church and Family Life site, including articles which used to be on the Vision Forum Ministries site. This new site continues to provide content from people such as Geoff Botkin, Anna Sofia & Elizabeth Botkin, Kevin Swanson, Voddie Baucham, and many others.
Scott Brown also continues to speak at and to host various conferences and events which are reminicent of the events Vision Forum used to host.
