Why Does It Matter?

He remembers what the squall was, but his mom and dad never even had a clue. Not even when the event took place. There is nothing quite like the experience of your sixteen-month-old child getting in touch with his terrible two's four months early.

We were in town for a doctor's appointment and stopped for a quick lunch. As he tells it today, our toddler didn't want something we'd ordered him for lunch, and we all know how that can turn out. I always predicted that son would be an opera star. He had lungs...


We are in the midst of a physical manifestation of a spiritual battle at this very moment. Satan has been using women ever since Eve to accomplish his goals of weakening and destroying God's kingdom.


The women of the early suffragette movement encouraged loud noisy exchanges, so perhaps they would applaud the current shenanigans of the current crop of feminists. I can tell you, that just like my boy pitching his fit in the restaurant, these women are much like a loud rude child throwing self on the floor in a tantrum.


People who applaud the breakdown of moral restraint are minions of Satan, and there are many.


I've heard of a show—I'm not sure if it was a television show or a movie on television. However, the show was set back in a more Andy and Mayberry era of simplicity. That was where it started but not where it finished.


It also runs in my mind that it began in black and white with a simple loving family living and functioning as it would have in the nineteen fifties. A Leave it to Beaver scenario, but as the different members moved into more sinful, modern thought and away from simple ideals, it moved into color from the original b & w. The ultimate message was until sin enters the scene we aren't real, we aren't living.


What poppycock that is. Since the Garden of Eden humanity has had sin with all its struggles and heartaches. Eve didn't understand what the phrase 'ye shall die' meant, but it was her sorrow to experience the first murder and death when one of her sons killed his brother.


She lost not only a beloved son, but the murderer was sent to wander away from his home, likely never to return. She lost both sons.



I do not believe that women are better than men. We have not wrecked railroads, nor corrupted legislature, nor done many unholy things that men have done; but then we must remember that we have not had the chance.

Jane Addams

At one time men strove to become better human beings because they wanted to be worthy of the love of good women. I don't know that women asked to be put on a pedestal, but it wasn't a bad thing. 
It isn't bad to strive to be a better person. It isn't bad to inspire another person to be more noble, not self-righteous, but humbly righteous. 
The problem is that under that system, a woman had to have a higher moral standard. It is a burden, and our current system doesn't encourage high moral standards for anyone.
Like spoiled children pitching a fit on the floor, we're told to do whatever makes us happy. It doesn't matter what the right thing to do is, our only criteria is our own happiness.
I've repeated this quip several times. It's a snippet of conversation: 
"Men have made a mess of things long enough, I think women ought to have their try at being elected to office and running things."
"One thing I've found in observing things in this life is that there isn't any difference between a corrupt man or a corrupt woman."
This goes back to the Jane Adams quote above. It hasn't taken all that long to see how that works. The more power women have the more corrupt they become.

And truly, there isn't any difference between a corrupt man and a corrupt woman... in this day and age they've tried to make even the bathrooms the same. 

It's time to wake up for all of us. Not just women need to crawl out of the mire. Christians need to, if not get back on the pedestal, at least wash up and clean up. 

Act 2:36  "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ."

Hallelujah! What a Savior!
