"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."
The above quotation is from the Book of Proverbs of the Holy Bible. It's one instruction that parents would do well to take heed.
In my post today, I would like to zero in on the father-son relationship issue because of the crucial role MAN plays as head of the family and as the principal figure in society and the world at large. This is is not to underrate what women could do in what is generally regarded as man's turf for they are just as capable, if not better, as great women leaders of the world have proven. Still, we have to recognize and accept the fact that God decreed that man assume the primary role in determining the course of human affairs; reason why He created man (Adam) first. And He will hold man accountable for it.
We, fathers, therefore, are responsible for the molding of our sons into what God intended them to be. We shirk that duty and we will have our sons growing up less than the men that they should -- and ought to -- be. And when that happens -- as we see happening now -- we can expect our boys to be poor performers compared to girls, effeminate if not downright gays, cowards, wimps. You wouldn't want your son to be called "chicken," would you? You wouldn't want to see your son babysitting the kids at home while his wife goes off to work to put food on the table and calls the shots in the house, would you? You wouldn't want to see your son ruin his life and go down to his grave disgraced and scorned by society, would you? And certainly, you don't want to see your son sleeping with another man doing what is detestable in God's sight, do you?
Why do we have so many men turned into women these days? And they show it off, very proud that they are what they have become, unnaturally. I dread the day when we see straight men outnumbered by gays. It's a world turned upside down. It's Sodom and Gomorrah once again ... on a worldwide scale.
Why? Because of father-less households where boys are reared by their mothers alone or with abusive surrogate fathers. Their biological fathers are nowhere in sight either because they are irresponsible bastards themselves who do not want to have anything to do with family life or are kicked out of the house by their wives for being less than the husbands they expected them to be. What do we expect these boys to become, in such situations? Soon, these boys will sire sons who are likely to follow in their footsteps; the cycle is repeated over and over and the result? A degenerate society that will go the way of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah.
Hey, it's serious stuff that I discussed with you again today. I hope it didn't turn you off. Please feel free to comment. I appreciate it.
In conclusion, may I ask you (father with a son) that you watch the music video below and immerse yourself in the message of the song. Thanks again for sparing me a moment of your time. See you next post. Have a nice day.
