Mother's Day Note Written To Men
This is a mother's day note written from a man to women, and it is likely to shock your system.
Mother's Day 2013: This is the day that the United States has chosen to honor mothers. While I don't want to discuss the honors of the varying stats, you can't hardly discuss motherhood, without thinking of how many women have murdered their child(ren). Moreover, how many of those women, will have the gumption to celebrate motherhood today? I'm going to guess millions, but secretly these women are very likely screaming and terrified on the inside - in the depths of their hearts.
Then there are those women who desire to have children, yet cannot have them or haven't been able to have them. These women who in all likely hood would take these children, were they not aborted, and mother them as their own.
Therefore, the gap between abortion and adoption must change. Millions of women longing to be mothers, with millions of babies needing a mother, only to have their spines cut, and their little bodies ripped apart inside their mother's body; the place that ought to be the safest place in the entire world... not any longer, I cannot not think of a worst place for a child to be today, than in the womb of a mother who doesn't understand what her purpose in life is.
Feminism has long taught that motherhood isn't to be valued, and that men are holding women down to keep them as inferior objects. We've all heard the argument for a very long time, "men and women are equal and there's nothing that men can do that women cannot do'. This however is intellectual dishonesty. Women and men from creation were made different, and it takes little to no brain power to realize this to be a fact. The Church has adopted the world's view of feminism, but has repackage this belief system to look and sound like biblical christianity and then, force fed it to the parishioners; they called it egalitarianism.
Egalitarians have followed the world's template with women's liberation to the letter. One of the best tactics is, demonize anyone who seeks to challenge feminism by calling them a chauvinist. Any man who disagrees with an egalitarian is sure to receive a verbal tongue lashing, and that's just for starters.
Egalitarianism is simply a wicked imitation of feminism, that needs to be rebuked and destroyed within the church. The Church has always, and will always lead the world from the pulpit, until the Pulpit returns to biblical masculinity, we aren't likely to see much significant change in society regarding, well, much of anything.
While I could talk about this for a very longtime, I want to wrap this party up with an admonishment, and to sing the praises of mothers who have embraced their roles and the husbands who have freed their wife's to do so.
First, I want to invite Christian men to repent to God of our abdication, our absolute failures to our women, to our children, to our grandchildren and our generations for a thousand generations. We must repent to God for being unfaithful to the Wive's of our youth, and not trying our sons to honor women, that they may honor the wife of their youth. May the Christian men raise up and honor their wife's their sisters, their mother's, the single mother in their neighborhood, the widowed mother down the road, the grandma how can no longer live on her own, may we honor these women in our deeds, in our service to them, and our words about them. The world was allowed to pervert gender roles when men were to busy chasing the 'almighty dollar'; God was no longer sufficient therefore He wasn't to be taken serious on what he has commanded men, especially husbands, to do.
Men, Christ died for our sin, He died for our sin of allowing motherhood to be destroyed in this country, and in His death we are freed from the condemnation (Rom. 8:1). Men, raise up and serve your wife faithfully, free her as Christ has freed you (Eph.5:25), to live in her calling and service to the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Train your sons to honor women, to honor motherhood. Train your daughters to expect to be honored, and protect her from boys who don't desire to honor her but only seek dishonor. Free the women in your church by training men to honor them, love them, serve them selflessly, and let us all collectively pray that God would restore our designed roles and seek to glorify Him in all that we do.
In closing, the world is in a mess because of rebellious pastors, and the men who followed them also became rebellious. Abortion won't end until men repent and come to Christ and honor the covenant that the Lord Jesus has established (Matt. 19:6). Mothers Day is filled with grieve because countless husbands and fathers have dishonored their wives', they have dishonored their daughters', and they have trained their sons' to repeat the process. Abortion exists because of men that meet the description in Malachi 2. However, it doesn't have to remain this way we can come to Christ and repent and be restored by Him.

Ascension Day
Ascension Day 2013:
Christians ought to mark their days with days of remembrance; and Ascension day is one of those days. The ascension of our Lord, Jesus is a truly significant day to remember, because, if Jesus never ascended into heaven, then He would've been a liar, as He continually said I'm going to my Father (John 14:28).
Had Jesus not ascended to heaven, then there would be a giant memorial and temple built over His grave site, thus Christianity would be like every other religion. However, 2,000 years later and experts still aren't certain what tomb Jesus was temporarily buried in. The reason for this is, Jesus rose from the dead, and no one cared to go visit an empty tomb. Jesus was most certainly popular, and were he still dead, and laid in the tomb, hundreds even thousands of people would've come to his tomb. However we know this not to be true.
If you didn't mark ascension day on your calendar, next year take the time to remember this wonderful day, and celebrate with your family.
Acts 1:11 "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."
Next week is pentecost Sunday May 19th.
Be on the lookout for my blog on this important day.
Coram Deo,
Douglas Herron
