Baptize your children.

Requesting prayers for my sister M, having an MRI scan today after an emergency.

“Divorce takes all authority from the father, all dignity from the mother, all security from the child, and transforms domestic society into a struggle between strength and weakness; it constitutes the family as a temporary lease, where the inconstancy of the human heart stipulates its passions, and which ends where new passions begin.”

~Louis de Bonald

I really do not know why this needs to be said, but. I know that there are at least some of you here subscribed that beat or physically abuse your children. Do not sexually abuse your children. Do not emotionally abuse your children (or simply put, do not abuse them at all!) Do not think of your children as some sort of toy or dress-up doll. They have souls, emotions, and needs. Please do not do it. Have mercy on them. God is watching.

This channel tries to promote the wellbeing of the family to the fullest extent me (and the admins) can. But I do not feel as if this is talked about enough and is often swept under the rug. You cannot "shrug the shoulder" when it comes to family issues.

For those who do not do it, good. For those who do, God is waiting for you. You cannot have a happy and healthy family if you use your fists rather than prayers.

Matthew 19:8-9

8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

It's easier to build strong children then it is to fix broken men.

1 Corinthians 7:10-17

10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Numbers 30:1-4

30 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded.

2 If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the Lord, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;

4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

"The revolt against vows has been carried in our day even to the extent of a revolt against the typical vow of marriage. They have invented a phrase, a phrase that is a black and white contradiction in two words — ‘free-love’ — as if a lover ever had been, or ever could be, free. It is the nature of love to bind itself, and the institution of marriage merely paid the average man the compliment of taking him at his word. Modern sages offer to the lover, with an ill-flavoured grin, the largest liberties and the fullest irresponsibility; but they do not respect him as the old Church respected him; they do not write his oath upon the heavens, as the record of his highest moment. They give him every liberty except the liberty to sell his liberty, which is the only one that he wants."

~G.K. Chesterton

Be affectionate with your sons. Hug them. Kiss them. Tell them you love them.

We have a generation of young men starving for a hint of affirmation due to harsh, detached fathers.

Your Father in heaven has not withheld his love from you, so don’t withold it from your sons.
