Value of Gender-Many people today mistake gender for sex. Sex is determined by either XX or XY chromosomes. Men and women are physically different and the difference is easy to tell with the naked eye. One has only to look between their legs and they should have no trouble determining which sex they are. Abortion was pushed to break down the desire for normal long term male-female relationships in favor of short term gratification. Kids were promised they could have their fun and not worry about consequences, but it was all a lie. Those who are Gay have experienced some form of trauma or poor relationship with those of the opposite sex and turn to those of the same sex to get the sexual gratification they can’t get through normal male-female relations. They are trying to convince us that their relationships are normal, but something isn’t normal unless it is fairly prevalent throughout society. However, the Gay lifestyle has never made up more than 1-2% of the population, except during population disruptions facing breakdown of the family, and even then has never been a large percentage. Down through history, society has recognized that the different sexes have different abilities and constructed gender roles that fit those abilities. These roles are socially determined and vary from culture to culture and may change with time within a culture. There are people today who deny the obvious and have constructed an illusion where they confuse gender with sex. They feel that since they don’t fit the gender roles of society, that they must have been born the wrong sex. Then they try to change their sex to match their gender. They can cut and paste all they want to but they can never turn a boy into a girl or a girl into a boy. Their sex is embedded in every cell of their body. They need to change their gender to match their sex.

Value of Family When God created mankind, He created them man and woman. He has put in each of us an attraction for those of the opposite sex to draw men and women together to form families to protect and nurture the children. Each was created with certain abilities to carry out the roles that God created for them. Women needed to bear children and care for them and God gave them the ability to feel another’s pain which is important for caring for someone else. Men need to provide for and protect the women and God gave them strength and the ability to plan and build which are important in hunting and protecting the family, and in providing shelter. He designed the family so that the two would combine their abilities to provide everything that the children needed to grow into productive adults. Children need both a father and a mother to learn how men and women should relate which is essential in establishing a stable marriage. In addition, the boy needs the father to teach him what he needs to become and a mother to show him what he needs to find in the mother of his future children. The girl needs a mother to show her what she needs to become and a father to know what to seek in a future husband. While some contend that two mothers or two fathers, or a single mother or father will do, they do not provide all that is needed. We are currently reaping the results of our failing families. We must restore the family as the basic unit of society but it will be difficult because most young people today have never seen a stable marriage and don’t know how to relate to others, particularly those of the opposite sex.

Lack of Social Interaction Many single mothers are under tremendous pressure with no one to help them. They are often working and trying to keep house as well. Many are constantly tied down with the kids and have no one to watch the kids while they shop or attend other activities. Providing child care during church programs can free such women to relax and enjoy the activities and may enable them to attend where they might not otherwise be able to. With many families having no more than one or two children, children are often isolated. Child care will also provide opportunity for children to interact with other children in informal activity. Older Christian women can watch the kids for short periods or two mothers can take turns watching both sets of kids while the other one shops or just has some quiet time. Women’s activities at church with child care also helps. Many mothers of young children, especially single mothers and wives whose husbands work long hours or are away a lot, are isolated taking care of their children, especially if they don’t work and yearn for an adult to talk to.

The Single Parent The sad fact is that there are more adults who are single in America today than those who are married. Many of those are single parents with young children. While being a single parent is widely accepted in our society today, it is not easy because it lacks the basic necessities for bringing up children. With a married couple, the man can work and the wife can take care of the kids. Our society has been infused with greed so many wives now work to provide the luxuries of life. As a result, our society now has adjusted to the new-found wealth when both parents to work, so two incomes has become a necessity, not just a luxury. That often forces women to work, even when they don’t want to. With single mothers, if the father remains nearby, the parents often fight over and often in the presence of the children. In addition, the majority of the children of single mothers lack a stable father and if the woman has a boyfriend, he often provides a very poor example of being a father and often doesn’t stay very long. Many of the problems of our society today stem directly from the lack of stable marriages in many homes. If these children are to grow up and establish stable families, they need Christian couples to work with them so both boys and girls, as well as their parent, can see a stable marriage relationship and how men and women should relate to each other.

The liberal politicians continue to revoke the protections which Women’s liberation won to protect women in the workforce from dangerous occupations and chemicals. Women fought hard for those protections because many of those women were wives and mothers. In addition, they are continuing to push women in the Armed Services into combat positions. Many of those women have to leave their children behind when they are deployed and risk leaving those children motherless if they are killed. Liberal politicians have no concern about what women in combat means to their families because liberals would rather women did not get married or have children. In addition, women suffer a great deal from harassment from the men who are under stress in combat situations and from the problems associated with women in the primitive conditions faced in combat. In addition, women face a greater danger in combat against men who are bigger and stronger than they are, but the politicians give no thought to that. They want to wipe out any distinction between the sexes. Some have even been pushing to extend the draft to cover women. While women may volunteer for military service, they should not be forced through the draft. They often hold up Israel as an example of how women can serve in the military but they forget that Israel is a country under siege by the nations around it. They need every able man and woman to help defend the country. They don’t have a choice. In addition, there is no front line. The whole country is in danger so women can not be protected behind the front lines. . They say they care about women but they do not show it by their disregard for women’s safety.

Few people realize that the women’s liberation movement began as a movement of women in the church. Though Southern white churches generally supported slavery, many churches in the North strongly condemned it. The women heard about the poor treatment of slaves in the South through churches in the South that did not agree with slavery. The women had learned to raise money and organize through the church mission societies that raised funds to support missionaries and used that knowledge and the church communication networks to spread information about slavery. Though some preachers opposed slavery and preached against it, much of the work and the fund raising was done by the women’s societies in the church. Through their efforts, they learned that they needed the right to vote in order to pressure Congress to oppose slavery. The women’s liberation movement soon spread beyond slavery and the right to vote. Women soon took up the cause of temperance and other issues threatening women, families, and society, including getting greater protections for women in industry. Though the issues quickly spread beyond the church, the women of the church were instrumental in getting greater protections and opportunities for women and families. The modern feminist movement has become self-centered, seeking their own agenda, with no thought to its effect on other women. The liberal push has centered on getting free from the burden of having children. They have demonized motherhood and sought to abolish it, in spite of the fact that many women still desire having kids and a family. Liberal promoters have portrayed motherhood as a threat to women because they say it prevents them from getting and holding prestigious jobs, yet many women have still risen to highly prestigious jobs while raising a family. Many modern feminists look down on women who choose to stay home and raise their kids and portray motherhood as a degrading occupation, in spite of the fact that the family is instrumental in raising children. Many also portray marriage as enslavement of women and feel a woman should not limit herself to one man. Their efforts have done much to break down the institution of marriage and deprive women of the benefits of marriage. Liberal promoters have promoted abortion as a way of enabling women to have sex freely without having to worry about having children. In their zeal to get rid of unwanted children, they have taken no thought about the women and girls who have faced unwanted pregnancies as a result of their promotion of free sex or the physical and emotional suffering they have endured due to their abortions. They have also not taken any thought to the millions of babies that have been aborted. The liberal churches have been caught up in the liberal philosophies and many support abortion. However many Bible-centered churches continue to fight to protect women and girls from exploitation by those who profit from abortion (see the section on “Where Are The Children” in “The Servant’s Heart”-Lulu Press).
