giving & living

....For many years, he lived on ten percent of his income and gave away ninety percent to Christian work, especially missionary efforts in Africa and South America. Even when his business was in financial jeopardy, he continued giving his sacrificial pledges to Christ's work. "The question" he said, "is not how much of my money I give to God, but rather how much of God's money I keep for myself." READ IT HERE

There are two products of the feminist movement in our culture.  First, we are not raising women any more.  We are raising men who happen to be biologically capable of having children.  

Secondly, we are not raising men any more.  We are raising these guys who from the time that they are small are taught to see women as completely like them in every way.  Women are not to be protected.  They are to be competed with.  We put them on teams when they are small and they compete with girls just like they compete with boys. 


So this radical feminist agenda has actually produced a generation of men who believe that it is evil to be what the Bible says a man is supposed to be

.... I have to protect my marriage from my children.  I tell my children all the time.  Mommy and Daddy are committed to one another we come first, you don't.  They have to understand that.  It's Mommy and Daddy.  Our marriage is the foundation upon which our children's security is built.  For us to prioritize our children above our marriage is actually to undermine our children.

.... A lot of dads are uncomfortable with it.  They are uncomfortable with the way their daughters are dressing.  They are uncomfortable with the way their daughters conduct themselves around young men.  They are uncomfortable with the way young men are too familiar with their daughters but our culture has come along and whispered into their ears, "Now you know that's the way things are.  You are just overprotective. You need to let them…"  That's a lie.  It's an absolute lie.  So we have completely abdicated our responsibility and as a result we have an epidemic of unprotected women in our culture.  READ IT HERE
