When Satan puts as much time and effort into something as he has into destroying the concept of male and female you know there is something here that is destructive of his kingdom.

God made man in half, either male or female. It is doubtful any other of God's creatures, the angels, cherubim, or whatever, were made in half.

There are chambers within the human being that are to be filled with God and people. It is only as these chambers are occupied that man begins to realize his destiny.

The initial fulfillment of the Divine fiat is the family. The importance of the family can hardly be overemphasized. There is the father with his role, the mother with her role, and the children with their role. This is the design for the time being. How it will be carried forth in a transcendent state we are not sure. But we do know from the Scripture that when an individual dies he is "gathered to his people."

Satan is exerting much effort in our day to destroy the family. There may be two reasons for this. The first is that by destroying the family the moral strength of people is damaged and they are more open to the demons who find fulfillment in them.

The second is that the Spirit is informing us it is the children of today who will take the Church into the fullness of the promises of God. Whenever leaders are to be born, as in the case of Moses and Jesus, Satan seeks to destroy the children.

The current unrest focuses on the woman. God has ordained that only through the woman can God's eternal servants be brought into being. Think of it! The woman is the gatekeeper to the Kingdom of God!

This is why Satan exerts so much effort to convince the woman that being a mother is somehow less important than being a banker or a doctor. Can you see the lie and perversity here?

It is the man's responsibility to be the priest of the home and to be a shelter for his wife. It is the woman's responsibility to guide the home and be a suitable help for her husband.

The children are not to become idols, as in the middle-class American family, but future eternal servants of God who are to be raised and trained by a father and mother. It is the parents who form character in the child.

What an incredible mess we are in today as men are seeking to fulfill the role of women and women are seeking to fulfill the role of men. The psychologists and sociologists can offer their opinions from now to kingdom come but social anarchy will prevail wherever the family is not established in God's order.

If you are a man, love your wife. Accept her shortcomings and stick with her until the marriage works. It is up to you to sacrifice yourself to hold things together.

If you are a woman, accept your husband's shortcomings, honor him as well as you can, and give of yourself to your children. Quit trying to be a man. You don't have to prove anything. The man is not superior to you!

If you are a child, honor and obey your parents.

You will never be able to relate correctly to Christ and God until you relate correctly to people. Do the best you can under your circumstances and God will help you.
