Tea parties and little girls- they just go together!!! This picture bring back a lot of memories of when my daughters were little. And the problems were little too. No boyfriends, problems with other kids at school and grades to achieve. A time when Mom and Dad could be trusted and always new what was best for the family. Then along came the government- telling you what you could and could NOT do for those children YOU brought into the world and were trying to raise to be God-fearing, upstanding citizens. The captions of the picture show how life in the United States has changed; parents are subordinate to the state in controlling the fruit of their own bodies. The state has replaced the parents and the fear of social services is upon us all. I can't even begin to tell you the number of times I have heard of Social Services interfering with the family. Even to the point of taking away children from their parents. Oh, it is a sad fact that in some cases it really is necessary; but most of the time - NO!!!! With these things in mind, is it any wonder why it is becoming harder and harder to find men qualified to be Elders (Overseer, Pastors, Elders, Shepherds- all the same thing)??? Just take a moment and review this partial list of their qualifications...
1 This is a faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires a good work. 2 The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching; 3 not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence; 5 (but if a man doesn’t know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?)
I ask you, how can a man rule his own house, when it is possible that a state official can second guess his every decision? What is next? Preventing parents from teaching their children about Jesus? Frankly, I long for the day when parents can spank their children in public without the fear of having them taken away!!! Wake up, America!!! We are NOT A FREE PEOPLE ANYMORE!!! Perhaps one path to regain our freedom would be a political TEA PARTY; and I don't mean one designed for little kids, either!!!
