Recently I talked to a young man who is attending college. He shared how his professors advocate delaying marriage and childbearing until they establish themselves and their career. This is how all young people are educated today. Girls are urged to make sure they get settled in a career so that they will have a means of support "in case their marriage fails."Talking to another young lady who attends college she said, "Don't you know that we can now freeze our eggs so we can enjoy our career and have babies later in life when we are ready?"
"Yes," I replied. "I have read about this." In fact, Facebook and Apple now offer female employees a health benefit in order to freeze their eggs so they can focus on their career. However, although this young lady thinks it is “the norm” I am appalled. A generation of young women are being deceived and denied the glory that God intends for them.
It is dangerous to send a young person to college if they are not cemented in godly convictions and a biblical worldview. If they don't know what they believe and are rooted in God's eternal truths, they will soon be indoctrinated with lies from Satan.
The ideology of humanism and feminism looks "wise" to those who do not know the truth. This is Satan's trick. He coats his lies with a semblance of wisdom. They sound a good idea to the natural mind. This is how he first tempted Eve in the garden? How could you tempt someone who walked and talked with God every day? Only by making things "seem" good and wise (Genesis 3:6).
1 Corinthians 1:20, 25 says: "Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? . . . Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." Isaiah 44:25 says that He "Turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolishness."
Let’s be very careful where we send our children to be taught. Surely we want them to walk in truth and wisdom.

Do you gather your family morning and evening to pray and read God's word together?
In the midst of mandates and tyranny, we continue lifting up the powerful name of Jesus, the name that has power over all the works of the enemy.
The following is a great poem about the value of hard work.
STOP LISTENING. GOD HAS BETTER THINGS TO TELL YOU.
A BOY AND HIS DAD
Be more than his dad,
The Above Rubies Ladies retreat is right on us. All Oregon and Washington lades and anyone else from anywhere are welcome.

Even after God gave you what you prayed for.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
“God has delivered our children's bodies, souls, thoughts, lives and futures into our hands. No persons can influence another's destiny more than parents can their children's. They can almost direct their children to heaven or to hell.”
“So great is my veneration of the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society.”
"The people who know their God will be strong and take action"
“I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet, But they said, We will not hearken” (Jeremiah 6:17).
It’s time I got back to the series we are doing on WEAPONS OF WAR. In His Word, God calls His people by the names of different weapons of war and other things that are used in war.
Proverbs 28:1: "The righteous are as bold as a lion."
“From our homes will come the leaders of our country and of the world. A sound economic and social life and enduring world peace will be built from the materials our families supply. You must make every effort to develop the quality of your home life. If you cherish spiritual values, you will bind together domestic ties, for, as a parent, you play a leading part in rebuilding the ideals of a nation through its home and civic life. To a large degree, you form human character.”
It takes men of backbone to speak the truth. Men who are wishbones wish that things were better. They wish they had the prosperity of past years. They wish God would answer their feeble prayers. They wish that someone else would speak up for them. But they themselves will not lift a finger or a toe to make a solid stand for truth.
