The Father Is a Watchman - Part 2

What about the internet? The first issue I see when I look at the use of the internet is D.I.M.E. But the main issue is the filth that is available to those who go looking for it. It has revealed the low level of spiritual strength that Christian men have in this land. Someone said, what are we going to do? Look at what's happened to all our Christian men.

I say, it's just revealing where they've been at all along. No fire of God burning in their soul. They live in the flesh, so they get trapped by every hook that the devil throws out.

I would encourage you, there are options available that protect you and your family from this evil. Don't wait until you've had a tragedy to do something about it. And if you can't handle it, smash it.

What about Christian rock music? When Balaam could not curse Israel because of God's blessing on them, he thought of another way to curse Israel indirectly. He sent sensual women down into the camp of Israel and the rest is history. This is the story that I think of when I consider the destructive influence that wrong music has had on our youth.

That would be sad enough, but it is now reached over into the Christian realm and now the church is dancing to the world's music with some sanctified words thrown in. Even the subtitle that I have used is a misnomer. Christian rock? That's like Christian gambling and Christian beer.

They don't go together. At least not yet, but probably they're on the way. Somehow they'll figure out a way to sanctify gambling and beer too.

I want to encourage you fathers to stand at the gate and check out the music that your children are listening to. Sit down with your family and get a clear understanding from all that are there that it is okay for papa to check out the music and he can throw away any that he wants to and we will bless him and thank him for it. Lastly, silly bible stories.

Some time back it came into the minds of Christian educators that children learn better if the material is funny. Well, the children really did sit up and listen as they laughed their way through the bible story. From there they went to the silly puppets which really made everybody laugh, but now it's the norm.

That's the only way you can learn the bible is with a silly little puppet up there dancing around in front of the children. Most material for the little ones is full of this nonsense method of teaching. Moses is a funny little man with a big round nose with eyes that look like precious moment babies instead of a prophet, a fiery prophet who stood for God in the midst of hard times.

Now they have put these things in animated cartoons and added silly voices to go along with it. These creative educators have now come up with the greatest perversion of them all. King David is a cucumber.

He's a cucumber playing his harp. You mean it's okay for David, the prophet David, the psalmist David, that powerful man, that giant killer, it's okay for David to be a singing cucumber? This whole thing is the devil's device to water down the word of God and his testimony to the next generation. I guarantee you that's what it is.

He's out after him. It's time to have a house cleaning. We've invited these things into our home to entertain our children while we do better things.

Most of this has happened because the fathers have not been watching at the gates. Dear fathers, how are the walls and the gates of your home? Are they broken down? Have you directed your family with holy steps? I pray that God will give you the strength and courage to cleanse your home of anything that defiles it. All your children will never forget it.

I remember back there, I remember when that dad got all excited and he went through the house and now when he got done we had a pile of this and we had a pile of this and he got out the sledgehammer and took care of these and started a fire and took care of these and all of these went to the garbage dump. Oh what a blessed memory in the hearts and lives of children to look back to a day when dad finally got on fire for God and destroyed all the dunk that was in the house defiling the children. Now that's taking a stand for God.

Amen. It's about time we quit being ashamed of being Christian. I will encourage you dads, rise up and take the lead and you dear moms, stand beside your man.

Don't you make a fuss if he wants to break something even if he breaks the wrong thing. Thank God he wants to break something. Amen.

Let's pray.
