 Alright, Proverbs chapter 31, of course great chapter in the Bible, we've studied through Proverbs chapter 31. Can somebody turn these lights on here, it's a little dark in here. Proverbs chapter 31. So this morning I know that we've looked at the virtuous woman before in a sermon series and before in the last year, but this morning I want to talk about a specific subject and the subject I want to talk about this morning is the subject of feminism. Feminism is a big deal today and it's overtaken the country and it's kind of the normal thinking today out in the world, so I want to discuss feminism and the reason that we read Proverbs chapter 31 is because the first thing I want to do is I want to just do a compare and contrast this morning and what the Bible says that women should be like, what the Bible says women's roles should be and then what feminism says that those roles should be that women should be like, how they should act, look, all these different things, what the Bible says compare and contrast that and then let's look at the results because we've got a lot of results we can look at today. I mean we have people living this lifestyle, people are living according to what feminism is telling them that they should do and act and prosecute their lives in a certain way, let's look at what those results are. So the first thing I want to look at is Proverbs chapter 31 and other places in the Bible about what you know the Bible says a woman should be like, the Bible is very specific on the roles of men and women, so let's go ahead and look at some traits of Proverbs chapter 31 and other places in the Bible about traits of women and ladies in the Bible, look at Proverbs chapter 31, look at verse number 11, first of all the Bible says of this virtuous woman it says the heart of her husband the safely trust in her so that she shall have no, he shall have no need for spoil. So first of all this woman is trustworthy and she's trustworthy in the Bible is specifically saying here that her husband trusts her. Okay look at verse 15, the Bible says in verse 15 she rises also while it is night and giveth meat to her household and a portion to her maidens, so she works hard, I mean this woman is a hard working woman and of course what is the context that she's working hard for, she's working hard for her family, for her household, okay look at verse number 17 the Bible says she girdeth her loins with strength and strengtheneth her arms, so this woman I mean this virtuous woman I mean it actually talks about the physical ability of this woman as well she's physically strong, she's in good shape, why? For her family once again, okay now look I mean it doesn't say what she should look like specifically it doesn't say this woman is you know this weight or whatever it says no she's in she's strong she's able to do work and not I mean because if you're not in shape look if you're not in shape there's a lot of things you're not going to be able to do I mean even recreational things I mean yesterday we're out and just doing recreational things and by the time you get home and get things cleaned up and all this kind I mean I mean I'm done I told my wife I was like I think I need to be in better shape you know because you just it just hard there's many things if you're not in good shape that you will not be able to do that's the bottom line alright so this woman she works hard for her family she's strong for her family which means that you know taking care of your family as a woman is going to it's going to need you're going to need physical strength to do that so you're like well I don't ever get out of a chair all day well you're not there's something you're missing then because it takes physical strength many times my wife will just be just physically exhausted by the end of the day so I mean that is what's going on with this woman she needs to be strong so we say that you know she's physically strong she's trustworthy she works hard and look at verse number 21 it goes even deeper and deeper into this in verse number 21 it says she is not afraid of the snow for her household for all her household are clothed with scarlet so look she doesn't this woman is is selfless okay she's willing to sacrifice her own comfort she'll go out in the weather she'll do all these different things to make sure that her family is comfortable so she's a selfless person for her family for her household verse 26 and this is an interesting one verse 26 she opened at her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness so this woman is also she's careful with what she says and she's wise in her words which we know that in the Bible that if you're wise with your words the Bible equates you know knowing what the Bible says to wisdom itself so this woman is well versed in the Bible you know of course we know that that we're all commanded to be well versed in the Word of God so she knows what the Bible says she's wise in her words and you know she's kind in her words she's a she's a kind woman it says in her tongue is the law of kindness this is kind of like the opposite of being loud and obnoxious by the way okay look at verse 28 and because of all these things because of all these things look at verse 28 the Bible says her children arise up and call her blessed and her husband also and he prays with her so this woman I mean so as we go through you know the sermon this morning please don't misunderstand me when I you know this woman is very honored she's in a position of high honor with everyone that is close to her her household her family her children her husband I mean the Bible talks about that that she is just a she's very high as far as people thought of her she's praised the Bible says and look notice how everything in Proverbs chapter 31 though has a purpose it doesn't say she works hard it doesn't say she's kind in her words it doesn't say you know she's in you know she's strong you know so she can run marathons it's it's all like for a purpose here I mean the Bible in Proverbs 31 is saying that she has all these attributes and it's for her family it's for her husband he's he's the one that's trusting her trusting her with what with her family with the family with the household okay she doesn't just keep herself in shape so she can just look good you know it's for her family okay she's I mean she's doing all these things for the purpose that God has appointed her to turn to 1st Peter chapter 3 and look for that reason she's greatly appreciated by those people this woman is held in very high regard I mean that sounds like a great place to be that the people closest to you have great respect and great honor for you I mean look that's what we're all after isn't it in our lives look at 1st Peter chapter 3 look at verse number one there's other things that the Bible says about you know how a woman should be let's keep looking into this so we can contrast what feminism teaches look at 1st Peter 3 and verse one the Bible says likewise he wives be in subject to your own husband even subjection to your own husbands that if any obey not the word they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives I mean look this is a pretty important rule this is saying that look if your husband is not either maybe he's not saved or maybe he's you know not obeying the word the Bible says that that husband can literally be won over by the conversation of his wife if she's acting in a certain way and then it says in verse number two be while they behold your chased conversation here we see the words and how important the words of a woman are the words of a wife in this case are those words again are chased that means clean and pure and she's careful with what she says look at verse number three the Bible says who's adorning let it not be that out outward adorning of plating the hair and of wearing of gold we're putting on of apparel so it's saying look it's just it's not all about looks that's how we know that the strength part it's not all just about just looks which will go into that today too I mean that's what the world's teaching today is just as all about looks okay but it's not about looks but let it be the hidden man of the heart talking about the hidden person of the heart here let it be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which is in the sight of God of great price so the Bible says here for a woman to be meek and quiet is a great price of great value to the Lord that is her beauty her beauty is of her heart okay it's what is in her heart like I said once again it's the opposite of being loud and obnoxious is being meek and quiet look at verse go to first Corinthians chapter 14 first Corinthians chapter 14 so the world teaches you know I'll get into this but the world teaches it's all about how you look just for the sake of how you look and the Bible says that what's important for a woman is what's in her heart because in that relates directly to what will come out of her mouth all right look at first Corinthians chapter 14 and verse number 34 the Bible says this it says let your women keep silence in the churches for it is not permitted unto them to speak but they are commanded to be under obedience also as also say at the law and if they will learn anything let them ask their husbands at home for it is a shame for a woman to speak in church so that's why women in a church like this that follows the Bible aren't to amen in church that's why you hear the men amen not the women you say why don't like that I don't think I think that women should be able to amen well that's not what the Bible says and we preach what the Bible says here so that's why I mean that's why we do things the way we do it because the Bible says so it's that simple okay look at Titus chapter 2 look at Titus chapter 2 look at verse number 3 Titus chapter 2 and verse number 3 let's look at some more I mean look is the Bible silent the Bible is very specific on on the character of a woman and the character of how women are supposed to be we should be thankful for that by the way I mean if you're a woman today I mean the Bible is very specific on how you should be look at verse number 3 of Titus chapter 2 the age of women likewise that they be in behavior has become a holiness not false accusers not given to much wine teachers of good things that they may teach the young women underline that in your Bible so like ladies you're an example to the young ladies in the church if you're if you have young ladies watching you okay and you say well am I aged well if someone is younger than you then in that case young ladies are watching you okay we'll get into that a little bit further this morning as well look at verse number 5 to love their husbands to love their children to be discreet chased keepers at home good obedient to their own husbands that the word of God be not blaspheme so that look they're talking about that the woman is to be a keeper at home she's to keep the household at home so I mean look someone has to keep the home I mean someone has to keep the home right unfortunately this is usually just left either left undone today or you know guess who's at home by the way the children are at home so part of keeping the home doesn't mean you're just vacuuming the carpet it means you're taking care of the children is what it means and most people have just decided that other people can handle this today that the government can handle this today and raise their kids for them okay I mean look that's not what the Bible teaches so we're going to contrast a picture here today so what do we see we see that women are to be chased they're supposed to have pure speech they're supposed to be strong for their families they're supposed to be in subjection to their husbands they're supposed to have a meek and quiet spirit that they're happy they're supposed to have a pure heart the Bible says and the Bible says that this woman is very valuable by the way in Proverbs 31 10 it says that this woman it says like who could find her it's like no one can even find one here's how women are supposed to be you can't even find one and it says her price so as we get into some of these things that feminism will teach today that you know that the feminists will say that all these things devalue women but the Bible says that this woman's price is far above rubies that her value is so high that it can't even have a price put on it that a woman like this is so rare is priceless is what the Bible teaches it's almost like the exact opposite of what feminism teaches today okay so look when you when I was reading ladies when I was reading these traits was it you is this you is the question right because this is the model that the Bible lays forth for you now let's look at the model that feminism lays forth today so I had to look up I mean I already knew this but I look I wanted to be you know legitimate so I went to feminist.org and I looked up the main tenants of feminism today okay so we're just going to step through the main tenants of feminism but really all the tenants really come from the first one that I'm going to mention here and then the main tenant according to feminism.org is equality you know all the other tenants really stem from this one but it's like it's just equality in everything for men and women okay now look you say well that doesn't sound bad well it should sound bad to you because it is bad all right our men first of all our men and women equal the answer to that is no I mean the Bible teaches that in marriage they're not equal in the home they're not equal I mean look in the home doesn't first of all in a marriage doesn't someone have to be in charge I mean I've told the ushers this maybe a million times when it comes to you know managing the things around the church look you have to assign somebody to it because if everybody's in charge of it nobody's in charge of it that's what happens because all I thought brother Trevor was doing it all I thought you had that no somebody has to be in charge that's why God put someone in charge of the family that's why the man is to be in charge of the family someone is to be in charge folks if everybody look if it's if it's five people's job to put that book in that center chair every single Sunday and and I say to the four ushers I say it's it's all of your equals job it's it's equally your jobs it will get left undone at some point because somebody thought somebody else was doing it it's just bad management practice period if everybody's in charge nobody's in charge is the bottom line somebody has to be in charge it's like they're not equal in marriage what value is not the same as equality that's not what we're talking about here okay men and women are different they have different roles the roles are not equal feminism teaches against this they teach that women are to have the man's role is what they teach and compete with him in it actually because it will end up being a competition like the work forces is number one thing that most of us can think of you know I mean look can women go to work yes they can can women go to work and compete with men yes they can but should they the Bible says no they should be keepers at home the Bible says that is the role like equality let's look at how men and women look equality in dress feminism has been big on pushing for equality in dress and how what we wear and how we look I mean men and women did you know are actually supposed to look different turn to Deuteronomy chapter 12 or 22 I'm sorry they're actually supposed to I mean God specifically addresses this but feminism teaches that men and women should look the same turn to Deuteronomy chapter 22 and look at verse number five look at Deuteronomy chapter 22 and verse number five the Bible says the woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man it literally says that men and women should look different here it says that there's clothes that a women women wear and clothes that men should wear and it should not be the same neither shall a man put on a woman's garment for all that do so look it he's getting them both here from both sides men shouldn't wear what women wear and women shouldn't wear wear what men wear it's that it's very specific for all that do so are you know messing up a little bit is out no it's like all the do so are abomination unto the Lord that God that means the Lord hates it abomination is hatred is like something that's hated by the Lord I mean this that's that's that's the strongest language you can use in the Bible right there when something it is an abomination to God you don't want to be anywhere near that I mean especially if you're saved I mean wow run from that did you know that women wearing pants by the way was you know that's why we teach that women should wear dresses and men should wear pants I'm not going to get into all the details of that but women wearing pants by the way was part of the beginning of the feminist movement did you know that it started in like the 1850s I'm going to read you a quote here from a news article about an incident that happened in 1933 in 1933 actress Marlene Dietrich who tantalized audiences as a tuxedo clad cabaret singer in the 1930 film Morocco caused a minor uproar by turning up to famed Hollywood hang out the brown derby in pants so this woman comes up to this Hollywood restaurant nightclub or whatever it is in pants and the guy wouldn't let her in imagine this I mean this is just the 1930s Robert Cobb the restaurant's owner refused to seat her on witnessing her rejection a pair of comedians Burt Wheeler and Robert Woolsey left the restaurant and came back in skirts so you see how it just sparked this reaction I mean what are we seeing today by the way it was a joke then but it shows you you know how look it was a big controversy and here's the funny thing is that the controversy was you know one of the excuses that were used by women to wear pants was freedom of movements like sports and like activities and things like that but look which which is ironic and I'll get into that in a minute but look men or women are to look different is the bottom line many of the first women by the way to push this movement of women wearing pants were lesbians and you will see that there's many direct ties to the LGBTQ community and feminism so you say oh I'm a Christian feminist impossible first of all and we'll see many reasons why okay look birds of a feather flock together is all I've got to say so like whenever you're in a in a in a movement by the way and you're in a movement you think you're in a movement for good reasons and there's a bunch of like unnatural haters of the Lord standing next to you holding signs maybe you should rethink your position I mean that's the bottom line let's talk about the equal position in the family turn to first Corinthians chapter 11 talk about your head for a minute first Corinthians chapter 11 so feminism will teach that women are to have equal position with the man in the family it's all about equality see it's all about equality look at verse number three of first Corinthians chapter 11 and we could read many many verses here but we're just going to read to the Bible says this but I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ and the head of the woman is the man so if you have a family and you're married the head of the woman is her husband and the head of the man is Christ that's the order of hierarchy there okay that is the that's the chain of command so to speak and then the Bible says in the head of Christ is God and every man praying or prophesying having his head covered dishonor his head by the way and then it gets into why women should have long hair not have short hair all this but let me just rip on the men here for a second this is why men shouldn't wear cap in church because the Bible says you know it's it's dishonorable to do that you know where the military got this idea that you'll never see a military man walk into a building with his with his cover on because it's biblical that's where it all stemmed from it used to be where a man would walk into a building and it was common to take off their hat you ever see like old pictures of old church services from the 1800s you'll see the women with big hats and fancy hats it's fine indoors but never the men because it was considered rude it's considered dishonorable to have your head for a man to have his head covered inside a building used to be that way I mean especially in a church where you're praying and prophesying the Bible says it right here right and then the Bible they mean the Bible is very clear on why women should have long hair and men should have short hair same reason that men shouldn't wear a hat inside because then the long hair is her covering is her covering all right tenant number two not to get out to off track back to feminism tenant number two of feminism is abortion is tenant number two okay or they'll say I changed it okay it's reproductive rights is what they wrote that basically means you know the right to murder your unborn children is tenant number two of feminism so look the I mean it makes sense because the feminist teaches that you know women can be a harlot that they can just fornicate freely you know they're like men have been doing it since the beginning of time so it's our turn now right so look they teach that so they teach that the woman should be able to have flippant physical relationships just like a man the Bible doesn't teach to the man should do that either by the way but they're saying hey they should be able to do it just like a man thus we're gonna need we're gonna need the right to murder our children as that happens right so she'll need that it's a necessity it's a necessity so that's tenant number two okay now look the next few I'm not even gonna really get into because they're hijacked causes okay they're hijacked what do I mean by a hijacked cause I mean people that just jump on to other people's causes I'll give you some examples that the next number three is racial injustice or racial justice what does that have to do with feminism is a hijacked cause you're like huh it's a hijacked cause that is jumping onto you know somebody else's cause the next one is the LGBTQ cause nothing to do with feminism but as you can see there's many ties into it but look they're they're on top of that number five is climate change hijacked and number six workers rights health care for all communism okay I'm not gonna get into communism again I'm boring you all the depth with communist look if you peel enough onions or the layers of the onion back it always comes down to communism with all these far left things every single time every single time so that's basically feminism in a nutshell so let's look let's look this morning at the results of feminism okay I want to show you the results of feminism we know what the Bible says and we know what feminists want what they teach the feminist way I mean what are the results can we see the results today many people are living their life like this have lived like this for generations decades whatever so the first thing is dressed like a man okay the first thing is dressed like a man and this one's hilarious to me it's not really hilarious but look the thing is dressed like a man has turned into dressed like a harlot that's what it has turned into turn to Exodus chapter 28 feminism I think was here's a theory here's a conspiracy theory for you feminism I think was secretly invented by a man I'll show you why not only is feminism convinced women to be an abomination but is also convinced them to you know to dress like a harlot literally look at Exodus 28 and verse 42 I mean the Bible says this it says now show make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach so look here's what the Bible and when Peters out fishing you can find many places in the Bible that teach this but look from here to your knees if that's uncovered you're naked I mean the Bible would say literally that if you have that part of your body uncovered whether you're a man or woman you're naked that's your nakedness but it is liver literally feminism has literally convinced women to walk around naked I mean it's crazy what women and young girls will walk around in today it's crazy what I mean look women sports another big push for women to dress like men was women sports this is the biggest joke that I have ever seen is this we're going to convince women that you know they need to dress like a man because of sporting reasons and then we'll turn every this is why feminism it had been invented by a some perverted man every single woman's sports it's like it's the same sport as the men play and the men can dress normal but the women you have to wear your underwear is now it's going on volleyball soccer track whatever parents today are bunch of idiots I mean what are you doing to your daughter I mean you sit there and you look at the boys sport in high school the boys team normal the girls team underwear oh it's necessary says the you know 60 year old coach who's a man of the team sicko it's crazy it had to a bit I mean it's just like a trick invented by perverts that everyone has fallen for I mean why can't anyone see this it drives me nuts feminists are like sounds good sounds good let's dress our daughters like harlots and parade them in front of a bunch of people I mean it's crazy turn to Proverbs chapter 7 I mean how could you even pick out a prostitute today how would it even be possible turn to Proverbs chapter 7 Proverbs chapter 7 look at verse number 9 Proverbs chapter 7 verse number 9 look what the Bible says in the twilight in the evening in the black and dark night and behold there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot and subtle of subtle heart what being subtle is never good right having a subtle heart is never good she is old she is loud and stubborn kind of like the opposite of meek and quiet her feet abide not in her house now she is without now in the streets and lying at life and wait at every corner and he just goes on and on about how evil this woman is okay and look there's two points here first of all what you wear as a reflection of your heart what you wear is I mean the Bible tells us here to avoid this woman she has the attire of a harlot what you wear as a reflection of your heart look I mean how many times have you heard this just in general like dress for the job you want you ever heard that I have heard that many times in the business world they say like okay you know if you're if you're dressed at work is you know business casual you should just up it just a little bit maybe we're a collared shirt and a tie every now and then because people will start to see you as the boss and then then all sudden you know you'll eventually be the boss you know they say dress for the job you want I mean is is do you want to be a harlot is that the job you want I mean look no one's gonna take you seriously no one's gonna take you seriously if you dress that way look we're trying and here's another thing you know we're trying to raise young ladies here in this church you know consider what you wear when you walk into a church I mean we're trying to send a specific message cover yourself and look here's another thing everything that you wear you were influenced by someone so please think about this it's not just about us it's not just about us personally everything that you wear you think about it you saw an ad on TV you saw you know somebody something somebody wearing something that you liked I mean everything that you wear I mean who was this woman influenced by look at verse number 10 says there met him a woman with the attire this woman was she was influenced by a harlot for what she wore it doesn't say she was a harlot it says she was dressed with that attire okay and now look people are influenced by you you think about that people are influenced by what you wear other people and who what we learn about older ladies are gonna influence the younger ladies but we're trying to teach a methodology here that your value is not you know I mean they're teaching out there that hey you girls you walk around naked and that's your value that is a bunch of garbage and we're not teaching that here I mean these young ladies in the church and by the way if you will be treated how you dress you dress like a harlot and they will treat you like a harlot you dress like a lady this is one thing my wife noticed when she switched from pants to skirts many years ago is that people treated her differently they started treating her like a lady you're taught your whole life ladies that if you that hey just walk around in your underwear that's what we won't that's what we want that's your value that's a bunch of garbage that is not your value your value is Proverbs 31 your value is your heart period it is not you know your nakedness these people are lying to you and they're wicked as hell these people so look I mean it's it's a big deal look at verse no first of all feminism by the way we'll just stay on this one for a minute feminism not only treats teaches women to dress like harlots it is teaching them to to live like them is teaching them to live like them let's talk about fornication versus you know being pure in your life look look at feminism teaches that world that the women and girls can fornicate in relationships outside of marriage can be had freely without consequence that's what it teaches purity is a joke and to the feminist and it's looked upon as oppression by men that's the way it's looked at here's a here's an article for you men's increasing unwillingness to marry stems primarily from two causes number one the feminized family court system that transform marriage blah blah blah and the removal of paternal responsibility for the sexual behavior of young women the need for marriage has been eliminated while its liabilities have increased so look this leads to that necessity of reproductive rights or the necessity to murder your children as you're out there just fornicating freely and just living this with CVS lifestyle I mean you just gonna happen I mean that's where it comes from and now here's some irony for you here's some irony of the whole feminist movement as of 2007 it was estimated that there's 40 million missing girls in India and 60 million missing girls in China that's of 2007 it's hard to find these numbers today because they're trying to play this stuff down but basically as as all the technology for ultrasound so people can find out what if they're having a boy or a girl you know as as sex selection technology ultrasounds became cheaper so even poor people in these countries could do it net they're they're aborting their their female children because you can only have so many children in these countries I mean that's the true irony of feminism is what's given us free abortion everywhere around the world and who's suffering I mean think about this a little girl I mean here's the irony right here a little girl who is aborted will never vote she'll never work she'll never wear pants and she'll never raise a little girl of her own there's irony for you right there 100 million who knows what it is today who knows what it is today men men no longer need to marry think about this it's hard for you Christian men to think about this but think about a man who has no religious convictions why in the world would he get married think about it the median age from Pew research the median age at first marriage had reached his highest point on record it's 30 years old now for men and 28 years for women in 2018 according to the US Census Bureau whenever something reaches its highest point on a graph that it's ever been you better pay attention and figure out what's going on but what's going on is this I mean the same article says the number of Americans living with unmarried an unmarried partner reached about 18 million in 2016 up 29 percent since 2007 also a high point there's you think there's a correlation there why do I ever get married why would a young man ever get married any woman would just move in with him he no longer has to get married turn to I mean the Bible talks about this to turn to 1st Corinthians 7 thanks to feminists young men today have just free access to women and there's no there's no need to get married there's only risk to get married there's only financial risk I mean all kinds of risk why would they ever do it and that's why they're not doing it by the way look at 1st Corinthians chapter 7 in a biblical society a man who would like to like have a physical relationship with a woman was required to get married that's the way to do it according to the Bible 1st Corinthians chapter 7 look at verse number 9 the Bible you know Paul says but if they cannot contain let them marry for it's better for them to marry than to burn so look the Bible very specifically says so look if you have religious convictions biblical convictions you must get married but most people don't have those convictions today which is why marriage is at an all-time low because women would just move in with a guy just another year that is moving with another guy just moving I mean what's the point it's crazy how women think that this is good for them is it blows my mind how about women in the workforce versus keepers at home I mean this is a big one all you say that I should stay home with my children I mean that's insulting I mean well many women today will say you know I just have to work I have to work here's some more irony for you women should today understand that their need to work is directly tied to the expectation that they will do so you understand what I'm saying in World War 2 all the women in this country went to work yeah I'm gonna just I'm gonna sum up a top-level generality for you in World War 2 the men went to war the women went to work the men came home from war the women stayed at work that's kind of how it went so what happens when you have a workforce that's this big and then you double it what happens to income you know anything about economics you know that was supply and demand that that drives prices down that drives real income down real income is falling in this country so basically you have two families that are now required to work because of the fact that two family two people in the family do work things are priced houses are priced cars are priced upon that two income model I mean it's just it's an it's just what happened it's a cell it was a self-fulfilling prophecy women who would women who would work but rather be keepers at home now you know they now say I have to work you know say thank you feminism you know if women could speak we could just say it all together now but don't I mean the ladies had a park day the other day like like they're all at the park playing and having you know fellowship at a park I mean I'm at work suffering I mean look it's not it's not what you think it is okay it's not what you think it is out there in the world there's a reason that the weaker vessel is supposed to be home training and raising the children because you know what look I've been in the workforce for 25 years and it's no place for women I'll tell you that right now sometimes I wonder if it's a place for a Christian man and and and you know you say well how do you do you know how do you handle women at work how do I handle women at work I mean because women are at my work how do I handle it respectfully I'm actually for all this anti- harassment stuff you know against women I mean I treat women at work like they're my daughter and and it seems like sometimes it seems like I'm the only one that does respectfully look that's not my wheelhouse somebody else's wife is not my wheelhouse it's that but what I'm talking about look I have no authority over those situations I'm trying to show you ladies what God wants for your life that's what I'm trying to show you you know spend some effort you young ladies who aren't married spend some effort becoming that virtuous woman and then you know you'll get married and you be you can become that that virtuous woman and you don't have to go out there and kick against the pricks because that's what you're gonna be doing you're gonna be kicking against the pricks you're gonna be petting a porcupine the wrong wing if you go out there and do that and you know what you will lose your children that will ultimately be the ultimate suffering for you it's not a maybe these schools these care centers that they'll take your children from you they're wicked as hell and they will turn them why you say why because time is on their side I mean it's very simple time is on their side if you're not keeping them they're gonna keep them and you think I'm gonna bring them to church we're gonna bring them to church for a few hours a week they've got they got exponential time on their side over you because they're raising them so ladies girls this feminism is a lie that will literally ruin your life it'll ruin your life and like look please and and I've seen this I've seen this too many times in my life but please listen now because you don't want to find this out you don't want to say oh yeah that sermon was right when you're 40 you don't want to find out that these things are right when you're 40 because there's gonna be a lot of situations by the time women are 40 in the United States one and four of them had murdered their own child at least one of them I mean you can't undo that stuff you don't want to get to the point in your life where no moral man will marry you you don't want to get to the point in your life where you can't redo certain sit you know certain decisions you decided you're gonna be this career woman and live and then when you find out when you're 40 years old that you know what this is garbage and this isn't what it you know what you know why it's not garbage to me you know why I go out there and I fight that battle and I fight that fight every week you know why it's not garbage to me is because it's what God says called me to do to support my family that's why I do it to support my family so there's a calling in it for me there's a calling in it for me but look if you get to be 40 years old you're like oh you know I put off marriage and I put off all this stuff for this career that's it's a lie you can't all of a sudden go and just have a family now you can't redo those decisions at that point so listen now listen now forget what you've been taught it's all a lie and this one's a particular particularly evil one ladies it doesn't matter where you came from your calling is to be a wife and a mother that is what you're calling us to do and it's look it's a life that that is is a life of look it's it's a life of extreme value it's of extreme value and honor in that because you're not kicking against the pricks that's your calling that's your calling look I've said to my wife a billion times I mean your role in this family is the most valuable I mean the next generation is in your hands look cuz I mean it's not just about look it's not just about oh my role as a wife and mother done there's a lot to that there's a lot to that and few people are gonna get that right that's why her you know she's rare her price is above rubies she's so rare and look it's like it's like a car right the the woman in is is the wife is the engine you know the guy is just driving right I go and I just I make some money so we can have food in the fridge and we can have a place to live but the children it's in her hands that is such a huge it's the responsibility it's the point it's the main focus of the family unit think about the Old Testament what It's just what the people think about the old people they're talking about that I'm talking about they're constantly talking about it we talked about it in Judges chapter one. They're talking about the next generation everything's about the next generation the next generation don't forget they're trying to warn and warned and worn over and over and over again. Don't forget. Don't forget the Bible because why we know the Bible right I know the Bible but the That's why, like a generation and a half out, they failed, because they forgot that. That next generation forgot the Lord. I mean, this is how, I mean, keepers, it's not about vacuuming. It's about the next generation. It is the most important thing in this Christian life. You say, we're squared away. The next generation has to be squared away. And there is so much pressure out here pushing against the next generation. Look, it is impossible. I am convinced it is near impossible if you do not get your role right in the family. Men you have to get your role right, women you have to have your role right. If you don't, you're going to lose the next generation. This will lead to a life of heartache and destruction, not just of yourself, but those around you. Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer.
