BIBLICAL FATHERHOOD--THE GREAT NEED OF THE WORLD 4. f) HE HAS A VISION FOR A GODLY DYNASTY THE BIBLICAL FATHER SEES HIS CHILDREN AS ARROWS

7c) BRIGHT AND LIGHT-GIVING ARROWS REFUSE TO BE DUMBED DOWN!

May God save us men from being dumbed down, blithery-eyed, slow thinkers, low information thinkers (uninformed), or saturated and intoxicated with the world, the flesh, and the devil. In fact, refuse to be dumbed down. Do not let the state, the church, or anyone or anything dumb you and your family down. Be aware. Be alert. I am sure that you would want any of your daughters to marry a man such as I have described.

Some may protest this statement with the argument that your daughters, who go to church with you, would be protected from such a man, because the young men in your church are not like this. All I can say is, don't be too sure about all these "church going young men." Keep your eyes open and be well-informed about their background and character before it is too late. And the same applies for the daughters your sons will marry.

Through the left wing media and public schooling, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and all kinds of immoral behavior are now accepted as normal, along with abortion and pornography. Even our president appears to openly encourage all types of double standards and falsehoods, which in turn filter down to infect every branch of government. This is what is dumbing down this whole nation, as well as the church.

The present government wants us to rely on government, to depend on government, to believe in government, and not in any way resist or protest government. Whistle blowers are condemned for exposing corruption.

May God help us to be the opposite to all that has now become normal and acceptable in the state, as well as much of the church. Immoral behavior, a low work ethic, and lack of discipline dumbs men down, hinders creativity, and ultimately destroys us.

Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Most church going people know more about current worldly trends than they do about knowing God."

Be encouraged. Colin Campbell
