When the Family Dissolves so does the Nation

"Mommies highlight the things that breed weakness." Dr. Laura

Our country has been so feminized that when people must face correction or discipline, they melt like snowflakes in the sun. Their skin is thin, and their emotions take over rational thinking.

When we take our eyes off of Jesus Christ and make ourselves the whole purpose in life we weaken ourselves, leaving us vulnerable to manipulation and fraud.

This is the reason little boys need fathers. Sadly when the fathers were raised by single women without a father in the home they tend to become emotionally frail, easily influenced by emotionalism.

The reason God gave two parents was for the tenderness of the mother in times of teaching and the strength of men in times of learning to be a man. Both are needed; they balance one another out.

In our culture today, when both mother and father are delicate and fragile emotionally, the children grow up easily offended by everything that does not praise and gratify them.

A culture such as this, relationships dissolve without resolution of problems, and no one wants to hear what is needed to repair what is broken; they simply move on to others to control and manipulate.

2 Timothy 3 describes a culture that has been given over to the devil, who controls the hearts and minds of everyone in it.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 Difficult Times Will Come
3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."

Divorce and remarriage have caused this weakness; when there is a divorce, the father is not in the picture most of the time. With remarriage, the new father has no influence over those children who came with the mother; she still retains all the power over the children, and the father is treated as an outsider unworthy of respect.

If only people would realize that the strength of the nuclear family is paramount to the strength of the nation and the maturity of the people in that family.
