Ephesians 6:1 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right."
In this wicked world we live in, we see much confusion in the family. I do not know if people just don't understand what God has ordered or if they simply do not care. It was back in the sixties when the woman of America burned her metaphorical bra and liberated themselves, but their husbands dominion, and the American family and family values have suffered loss ever since. Feminism was born and the home has suffered loss ever since. Folks, when things are done outside of God's commandments they never work for the better, and when a family or Nation forgets to include God then the family or Nation falls. Parents today seek to be best friends with their children instead of being parents. Mothers want to be one of the girls instead of one who watches and corrects wrong. Fathers are failing in their leadership of the home because their wives will not allow them their authority in the home, or they are too weak to lead. Due to this lack of biblical obeying, the American family has fallen apart and has failed to serve God. God told the children to obey their parents and that authority starts with the father and continues through the mother. However, in today's world, it seems the children are running the family; and that works about as good as the prisoners running the prisons. The Lord said "...for this is right." when the family is run in a correct order. However if a father and a mother correctly runs their home as God has ordered then they are oddballs, or child abusers. I will tell you what child abuse is, it is when a father and a mother fails to control their children in a biblical order. It is when mother are out chasing the teenage boys with their teenage daughters. It is when a father leaves their family for another when they can't seem to love the right people. We have created a perverse Nation and we wonder why nothing is working out. We wonder why God keeps sending disaster after disaster. God will never bless this Nation if the Nation will not bless God. Maybe it is time for a revival in America; but a revival can only come it God's Spirit brings one and I do not see that coming. Not only do children no longer fear and obey their parents; but their parents also no longer fear and obey God. Pastors no longer teach these things and they are therefore lost thoughts. Pastor are to busy entertaining therefore they no longer teach the laws of the bible. However, the pastors also know if they did teach these things then their churches would shrink, and quickly. Let us remember this, God is still in control and He is going the judge both the saved and the lost, and be sure your sins will find you out. He is not happy and judgment is coming to America and the world. One day this world will answer to Jesus Christ for their sins because their sins are not cleansed in the blood of Jesus Christ. This judgment will be hard and very harsh, just read the book of Revelations. There is always time to repent and come to the right view but the light on the repentance clock is growing weaker each day. Mark 1:15 "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
