Rebuilding the Christian Value System
The great debate between the liberal and the conservative political positions is easy to describe. To describe the liberal position in politics seems to be taking the anti-biblical position. By that I mean the liberal politicians generally take the position that infanticide (i.e. abortion) is an acceptable norm, that homosexuality is not to be censured but that these people are ok, that marriage between two men or two women are to be accepted as ok, that the mention of God, the Bible, or discussions of true religion are to be extinguished in government and in all institutions that accept money or aid from the government. These politicians that consider themselves to be liberal generally do not believe the Bible or anything pertaining to it; they believe in humanism as defined by the great humanistic thinkers (i.e. evolution, the big-bang, and do-you-own-thing, etc) of the past and in our current time.
One of the most revealing statements in recent years is a statement by one of our politicians after a journey to Africa where that politician was so overcome with their circumstance that she wrote that “it takes a village to raise a child.” Actually, it takes a father and mother (i.e. a family) to raise children. You see, there is a lack of respect for God’s instruction regarding the family unit that God approves and the composition of that family unit. God; in His sacred Book (i.e. the Bible) says that the family cares for the children that the husband cares for the wife, and children, and that the man is the leader in the family unit; please note the following facts regarding the family unit that God approves:
The election is over, now let us pick up the pieces and attempt to reclaim the Biblical lifestyle that is slipping away from the masses of humanity. It is up to us, those of us who still follow the Holy Bible and its teaching.
Rom 7:2-3, 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. (KJV)
1 Cor 7:2-4, 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
Eph 5:23-25, 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; (KJV)
Col 3:21, 21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Eph 6:4, 4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (KJV)
1 Cor 6:18, 18 Flee fornication, Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (KJV)
1 Cor 7:2, 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. (KJV)
Gal 5:19-21, 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (KJV)
Whether you are a man or a woman as part of a family God speaks to you about your role. If you are a child in the family God speaks to you and to your mother and father about their and your responsibilities in that family. God addresses the grandparents in the family unit and gives instructions that indicate they ought to teach and set examples of godly conduct and living for the grandchildren – cf. 2 Tim 1:2-5, To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; 4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois , and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
