Evil Knows & A Father’s Role

Evil knows how to destroy a culture, just destroy the father. Every study we conduct, every aspect of the family we analyze, and every new trend we practice all tell us the same truth—“It’s the father, stupid!”

Remove the father figure from the family and the family is doomed to failure. The world takes aim at the father through literature, movies, advertising, gender lifestyle changes, education, role-playing attitudes, and the list goes on. It is the concept of the father that Biblical truth is based on. Evil’s attack is on ‘the father’ is no accident—it is another sign of the Coming of Christ.

The father will not be needed in coming years. The world will completely undo all that the father stands for. Men will be criticized and ignored if they try to be ‘a father’. “Who needs a father?” will be the attitude of every culture on the earth. The father will be a ‘thing of the past’ and not needed in order to support a society. My heart breaks when I consider Scriptures and today’s religious trends that point to a total break down of the biblical father figure.

The quickest way to destroy a man, which evil knows so well, is to crush a man’s ego, peck-away at his self-esteem, and do all you can to make sure a man is only a half-a-man. Do not allow a man to be smart, self-assured, have creative strength, or in unity with other men. In short, stop men from being what God had always wanted men to be.

Sure, men have failed to be the men of God’s designed. Promise Keepers tried to reinforce biblical principles within the structure of the family. But, the pressure that society has placed on male figures is frightening. Most men give into whatever message the world projects on them.

Men have taken the position of the First Adam (the man God created)—to give in to whatever others want. Men have little character and even less strength to do what is right and wholesome. Men fail to become the Second Adam (the example of Christ) by failing to love their spouse, children, and others as much as they love themselves. Once men fail to love (or able to love) then everything they hope to be and hope to succeed in will fail.

The time is coming when women will be looking for a man to connect with but there will few men that will want to have anything to do with women. The Bible says that seven women will take hold of one man. Men will not want any kind of relationship with women. Women will be fighting among themselves to have any kind of relationship with any man that would consider being with a woman. It is not long before this happens throughout the earth.

It is only in Christ, it is only following Biblical examples, and it is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that men can be men. Men, this Father’s Day, rediscover who God wants you to be. Learn to love others as much as you love yourself. Be strong, courageous, forgiving & kind. Be the example that can change your family and impact the world. Take the Biblical challenge, be the Second Adam and bring salvation to your family.
