Who's the Boss?
Remember that show? Back in the 80's. Well, lets think about it now. In light of all that's going on in the country and world today, who is in charge at your house?
Last night at church, we watched a video by Kevin Leman about how our marriages will shape our kids marriage. How we treat our spouse, how we respect and honor, and how we fight and argue, will give permission to our children to go look for that spouse we are being and the one we are living with. Something I also remember reading in "Bringing Up Boys" by James Dobson, was about how the role and movement of women and feminists, have stomped on the sacred appointment of men as the spiritual leaders of the home. Is it across the board? No. I'm sure many of you strive to keep this structure. But it is scary to look out and see what is going on.
I read an article this morning on foxnews.com comparing the metrosexuals and the urbersexuals. Some type-cast description put on men, who are becoming more feminine. Who will fight our wars if our camo consists of pink and mauve designs? Who will arrest the criminals running from law if the lawmen are afraid they'll break a nail?
from foxnews "Talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who reportedly was disappointed to be left off the list of ubersexuals, told listeners: "An 'ubersexual' is simply what men used to be before feminists came along and neutered them. It is hilarious that we now have a book claiming women want, essentially, a new type of man, who is in reality the traditional man."
I just don't get it sometimes. Where is the leadership we as men need to have, going? Are you the man of the house? Does your family look to your for spiritual guidance? How about in your church? Are you volunteering to teach, serve communion, say prayers? Does the youth see their church being led by strong, male role models, living the life of a Christian?
God designed us male and female for a reason. He gave us gifts and roles. There is structure in that design, and there is a promise. Do not let the world take away your strengths to appease its desire for evil and lust for more. Our children need to see men as strong, dedicated, spiritual warriors, fighting for the family and fighting for our churches.
And with that, let me remind you about the upcoming election, where we as TEXANS have the opportunity to keep marriage defined as a union between ONE man and ONE woman. Because if this fight is lost, we will have a great deal many fights ahead for the sanctity of God.
This is such a great fight, that the Houston Chronicle even published a false, misleading article to keep people from voting entitled Critics: Prop 2 threatens even traditional marriage Oct. 25, 2005, 1:50AM. But make sure you read the link above, stating this is a misleading and deceptive article.
Our families and our churches are sacred institutions, created and honored by God and for God. Fight hard for them.
