THE MANHOOD LINE: LIVE! ™ BY MIKE RAMEY: HUSBANDS: HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

0

No, you’re not misreading the headline on my column.  It is my firm belief that HUSBANDS have not been respected by our modern ‘sages’ of social engineering.

Let’s be for real here.  Society can NOT disrespect a class of men, nor their primary duty station, and expect future generations of men to pick up their responsibilities when they should!  That is a recipe for destruction.  Chalk THIS up to the current ‘Mainstream Mess’.  Amen?

We have heard a lot about ‘Dads’…but you don’t have be married to be a Dad; you don’t have to furnish your children with your last name in order to be a Dad.  Having the respect to marry the mother of your children, giving her your name (no hyphens) and passing a clean name onto your children?  THAT’S the mark of a HUSBAND…NOT a Dad.

Lord, we need more husbands…and fewer dads.  Amen?

Husbands are FATHERS first.  No such word as Dad in the KJV Bible.  When it comes to building a home, wives are the HEART of the home, but the husband is the HEAD of the home, meaning that HE is in charge AND has the last say about what goes on in HIS home.  A piece of advice to my young brothers:  IF your sweetheart is: 1) NOT of the Christian faith like you, or; 2) Will NOT agree to follow your lead in the marriage and home, DO NOT marry her!  You will save yourself a world of headaches.

I recently caught a skim of a study on Millennial males.  Reportedly, many of them are not exactly wanting to get married.  The reasons vary.  However, MY take on the underlying reason that the surveyors didn’t consider?  Why would a man MARRY a woman whom he KNOWS does NOT respect him, nor would submit (a dirty word in our modern society) to his leading his home?

Young Millennial men may not be as dumb as many Millennial women may think.

P SCHOOL ALERT–P SCHOOL ALERT:

Another feature for my column that will surface from time to time will be called the “P School Alert”.  Once a man passes the age of 50 or older, he has entered into the ranks of elder status…meaning that he’s an old man with some gray on his temples, and solid experience in his walk with God.

Men of this life station are beyond Old School…they has graduated to P (Prehistoric) School, which means that they were around BEFORE old school became popular.  Now, they may not look like much on the outside; some may even be on a cane.  But it’s that wisdom that will help a younger man SURVIVE to be an older man, and these “P School Rangers”–as I call them–SHOULD be heeded!  Ready to learn?  Here’s a nugget for the month:

Tip From The P School:  Train your OWN child in the realities of coming into contact with the police.  The police are there to protect the innocent.  However, in these modern times, teens NEED to know how to handle themselves if stopped, questioned, or arrested.

MEANWHILE–WOMAN TO AVOID DEPARTMENT:
Our “Woman To Avoid” this month comes from the Book of Proverbs (KJV).  The Crazy Woman is an extension of: Strange Women.  Proverbs 22:14 notes:  “The mouth of strange women is a deep pit:  he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.”

Many of you have heard about the Arizona woman who, after one date with a man, flooded him with some 65,000 text messages.  She was soon locked up by the local law.  Brothers, be warned.  According to the profiles I have previously shared with you from Proverbs, a woman can seduce, or capture a man by her eyes and/or her voice.  We are living in the last days, according to the Scriptures.  Thus, you don’t know of the mental stability of some people.  A saying from the late President Ronald Reagan applies here: “Trust, but verify.”  The life you save MAY be your own.

AND…WHAT ABOUT THE (BOY) SCOUTS?

Sadly, the (Boy) Scouts have not forgotten their drive to self destruction, as the social engineers have managed to allow girls to enter their ranks…which set up a power protest from the Girl Scouts.  BOTH groups are losing members by the hundreds and think that making the waters muddy is going to cause a massive resurgence in membership.  Of course, more and more churches and denominations are showing the (Boy) Scouts the door.  Meanwhile, the Girl Scouts got rid of their belief in God, and nixed traditional marriage and being a wife and mother as desirable vocations.

Brothers, let dead organizations bury themselves.  No need to send along your money or your family members to bolster their ranks.

THE HIDDEN COSTS OF ABORTION:

After reading about yet another rock group coming out in support of abortion (U2), I am amazed at the brazen stupidity of people who ‘claim’ to know better than the average bear.  With nearly 60 million abortions taking place in the USA since 1973’s “Roe v. Wade” decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, America’s economic fortunes have turned south…and the ‘Mainstream Mess’ has been pushing (for the most part) the pro-abortion lie, and expecting the American public to forget a few things:

1)  Nearly half of those murdered, unborn children were African American.  In urban areas, the abortion of Black babies continues to be at epidemic levels.

2)  Many states and politicians that favor abortion are LOSING when it comes to tax revenues, employees, and the natural progression of growing communities.  Think about it:  Many of those aborted babies are MALE.  Without these men in society attending school, graduating, and entering the workforce, is it any wonder that government programs are collapsing, illegals bum-rushing the border, taxes rising, and SIN legalized (from weed to lotteries AND gambling) to subsidize state coffers?

Just some ‘food for thought’, brothers.
