Lets finish outlining the "plan" in place, that the subversives are so determined to undermine. The last part of God's plan is the "Protector". Whether you agree with me or not, this one should at least raise an eyebrow if not your suspicions?
The Protector (first fold)
The role of Protector started in the Garden of Eden, after Eve ate the forbidden fruit, she gives it to Adam. The indication was Adam was present while the "serpent" was deceiving her - but he did nothing. How to often do men do nothing when it comes to "standing up"? and not just standing up for our families but just in general.
When we see or hear a story of a man protecting his family, we cheer him on, when we hear of a women who is without a husband having to protect her family we have pity on her (as we should). We are equal in creation but not in position. As I have written before; There are some things in life that my wife should never have to deal with or worry about - because she didn't just marry a male but a Man.
What else falls under our protection? How about "the evil one", but Ernie I don't believe in satan - that's ok he is very glad you don't. How about the people he uses to attack your family; like drug dealers, pedophiles and all other type of predators? well these are obvious.
How about false teachers, you know, like the people who tell you "there is no God"?
2Corinthians 11:3-4 NLT
But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the One we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the One you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
Have you ever heard; You keep hanging around with that boy and you'll end up just like him!
Proverbs 13:20-21 NLT
Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.
Trouble chases sinners, while blessings reward the righteous.

Another would be mistakes, not every mistake but a long term one. As a matter of fact, letting your kids make mistakes is not necessarily bad - it's your bailing them out that is. The lesson must be "CONSEQUENCES" exist for bad choices. If they suffer them now and understand that they occur, they may be less likely to make one or maybe seek your council when not sure.
Im sure there are more and some more closer to home for you. We will wrap this up next time.
Blessings
