On Father's Day
Father's are under attack
It’s Fathers Day and probably the sermons you will hear today, and the things posted on social media, will be attacks on Father’s. Little jabs talking about how they need to do better, and are the leaders of the household or some other form of guilt and shame.
And we wonder why men do not come to Church or turn to Christ.
The system we live in is waging war against fathers, men and even little boys.
And the church is no better.
We condemn men for their failures of addiction and leadership, but do nothing to help them succeed.
Our answer is to work harder, earn money, suck up the pain and nothing much more.
Let’s look at some realities.
The church has fought since the 1970’s to stop abortion. They have used everything in their power to stop this evil, and today we see laws changing, and hearts turning.
So, acting like the church has no power to change the system is ridiculous. They do.
We have seen churches fight for civil rights. Even today, church leaders and church communities are howling about the treatment of illegal aliens.
And yet, when it comes to speaking out for fathers, we hear crickets.
The battle against fathers, men and little boys continues.
The divorce rate is rampant, and 80% of all children go to the mothers, not fathers. But, it is still considered the fault of fathers and men, when these marriages end, or kids fail in some way.
90% of teachers are women. But, its toxic masculinity that is the problem in our culture.
Where’s the Church?
If the church can control political parties to fight abortion, and stop other things why not use that power to help fathers?
Because its easier to just preach at them on Fathers day.
There’s a meme which shows that on Mothers Day, the church pews are full, but on Fathers Day, they are not.
Why?
Because Fathers at 80% do not have custody of kids. And why would fathers, or men in general want to go get dumped on? They get that all week at work, and every where else.
Can’t they come to Christ for peace? For strength? For growth and power?
But, they get a man telling them the same stuff their wife or ex wife or mother nags them about, while offering no real help or solutions. Except, “Happy Wife, Happy Life”
The church could rise up and demand change in the family courts and in the system at large, just like they have done with other things, but they don’t.
Why?
A woman has the right to abort a child, abandon a child, put a child up for adoption, or raise a child alone. And get called a hero for any of these choices.
But, a man has the choice go into poverty to support the child for 18 years, with no say or control, or involvement, or go to Jail. That’s his choice.
A woman has shelters, and all kinds of support. Often from churches.
Men have nothing, except get a job or be a homeless dead beat.
The church demands that abortions not happen, but reject the poor. They do nothing to really help fathers provide for the children they demanded live. Christians support cutting funds to the poor constantly.
They cut medicaid, and Christians cheer. But, we always have money for more bombs.
I’m not supporting abortion, I’m rejecting the hypocrisy and encouraging support for fathers.
Our society and even the church speaks of equality, but do not really practice it.
I have talked with church leaders who have said, they want to bring mothers into the church, and do that by building up a strong children’s ministry. One of the aspects of the strong children’s ministry is safety for the kids.
That’s great. But, then they go on to say that safety for the kids includes protecting the children from contact with non-custodial fathers, who might visit them.
I’ve been told that this sort of ideology comes from national conventions of children’s church leaders, spreading it nation wide.
What?
Yeah, building up the children’s ministry by helping mothers keep kids from fathers on Sundays.
It makes me puke.
The church treats these fathers, like they are all pedophile deadbeats, full of porn addiction and abuse.
These fathers are often soldiers who fought in wars, men who are pillars in the community. Men who have jobs and have struggled through life, and love their kids.
But, they are deemed unworthy or a danger to kids, and can only see them 4 days a month.
How can you lead a family 4 days a month?
Of course, there are bad actors. But, are they bad because a court decided it, or because a mother falsely accused them?
Keeping kids from fathers is child abuse.
Do you realize that women instigate divorce in the majority of the cases, and gain all the benefits for doing so. The state doesn’t care, because they get top federal dollar for getting mothers on the child support system. That’s why dads only get 4 days a month.
Money.
We sell our children, while the church condemns fathers instead of fighting to help them. I bet if courts started taking kids from pastors, you’d hear them screaming from the pulpit for fathers rights. Maybe then, they would see the corruption and extend grace.
I wonder how many judges and lawyers sit in pews on Sunday, while condemning fathers in court on Monday for no reason.
80% of cases give full custody to the mom. Are 80% of fathers a danger to children? Really?
Those divorced mothers, take the kids into new relationships where the boyfriend or step father often kills or abuses the kids. Look at the stats. How many children are killed by mommy’s new boyfriend?
These strange men are able to have access to these children as much as they want, while the real father must abide by rules.
Meanwhile, the father gets involved with another person and has access to her kids, who she keeps from their real dad too.
And all the fathers pay child support to all the other fathers and wives.
What kind of idiotic mess is this?
And all the church does is tell people divorce is bad.
Duh.
Why aren’t churches fighting to fix it?
They obviously have the power to influence elections, leaders and policy.
I see churches getting on political soap boxes all the time. Organizing marches for this cause or that cause.
What about families or fathers?
Family court could be made non-adversarial, with every case starting at 50/50 custody, no child support. It would bring peace and save lives, and pain.
But, that would stop the money machine.
That would go against the Satanic Marxist agenda to destroy fathers and families.
The war on fathers, and families is from Satan. But, most churches do not understand what is really going on. They think the problem is porn and video games, and men who don’t work. They blame fathers.
The real problem is that churches are ran by folks who have no real understanding of spiritual things.
God’s word says. “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.”—1 cor. 11:31-32
The saints are supposed to judge themselves and confess to the Lord, and let Him work on us to change us. The same goes for our churches and our leaders.
Our failure can be directly linked to the failure of our leaders. If a family fails because of the lack of spiritual leadership of a father, then likewise a church fails without spiritual leaders as well.
Man up, leaders.
Start working to help fathers as much as you focus on abortion, children, mothers, and missions. At least as much as you fight against porn, or social media usage. Children love and need fathers too.
Wheres the church in supporting fathers?
Stop letting the Satanic Marxist ideologies influence the Church. Stop with the philosophies of the past, which beat men down.
Start supporting fathers, men and little boys, as much as you support mothers, women and little girls. We are equal in Christ.
God is our father. Satan wages war on fathers in order to destroy the image of fathers, so he can destroy the image of God the Father. This makes God appear to be another father who cannot be trusted. The figure head for the alleged patriarchy. This works to keep people from turning to God.
The church lets this happen.
Make a decision this Fathers Day to create real change to help fathers, instead of just preaching at them.
