Teach your Daughters and Sons Well

Teach your daughters and sons well- that means to follow a Christian life- to live in God's social hierarchy. Today, most people are caught up in the culture of have vs have not(s) and think that the government is the answer. They think that a good government will watch out for its people. The government is only what the people are; if they are not Godly then the government won't be. We should not teach our children, especially daughters, to look for a 'savior' in government. We should teach them to seek a good 'Godly' husband. We should teach our sons to be 'Godly' men.  There are plenty of examples in the Bible. The Bible is God's word for us to us so that we can not only follow them but come into a relationship with God by reading them. God is not a dictator. He is the Creator of heaven and earth and all the things in it. We must be mindful though that we now live in a fallen world, a corrupt program. This happened when Eve listened to and took information that was not for her. She passed this along to her husband. Adam certainly had a role to play in the corruption and God was/is well aware of that. Because of that sin, He sent His Son to redeem us, to patch us back into the original program which is soon to be our reward for believing.
We live in a fallen world.  Because of that, God also gave us His word for Salvation, the word was Jesus Christ, and the word leads us back to our original program, relationship with our Creator. The word tells us that here and now we need to follow a certain 'firewall' of protection as we go forward in our salvation. God gave us instructions for life as a family, the unit of life. God-man/husband, woman-wife.
Read Peter 1:3 or Romans 7 or Cor 1:7  Eph 5 or Col 3:18-22 In these we can find our role and way back to paradise. The sound structure of family/marriage is the glue that keeps society functioning. Any sociologist, including myself, will tell you this based on countless studies.
Where can we begin to fix the problems we face in our society? We need to remember about God's hierarchy. Women must let their husbands rule over them and their children. This does not mean to subject themselves to abuse. Too many people jump on that as a defense to disobey God. We cannot suppose that all men intend to hurt their loved ones. We all sin and will continue to do so in the fallen world, but thank the Lord for forgiveness and sin no more. We can suppose that if men are taught when they are boys the word of God, they will be strong Christian men, good husbands. Hence, we must teach our daughters to follow their husbands, be good wives and they will have a good life and strong family. This does not mean that life will be without hardship or struggle. Again, we live in a fallen 'corrupt' program/world. What we must do and what matters most is to glorify God, give Him thanks and praise! For He alone can save and will as long as you let Him. " Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will love with them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people." 2 Cor14-17
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand fir, then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Gal 5 1-2
