Stolen
away
our
Families,
our
Children
and
our
Faith.
Are
we
going
to
just
surrender
and
yield?
By
Dr.
Joffre
P.Vivoni
I
have
reached
this
conclusion
based
upon
my
faith
in
God
and
my
interpretation
of
the
Scriptures.
You
might
disagree
with
what
is
stated
on
my
title
but,
if
you
really
love
God,
at
least
give
me
a
fair
chance
by
reading
it
all.
At
the
end
you
can
reach
your
own
conclusion.
The
Scripture
(God’s
Word)
says
following:
1. With
respect
to
our
marriages:
a. That
it
is
the
union
between
a
man
and
a
woman.
(Genesis
2:24)
b. Woman
was
made
as
a
women
as
a
helper
to
men.
(Genesis
2:18)
c. God
gave
them
dominion
over
the
earth
and
the
ability
to
procreate
(have
children),
in
fact
He
commanded
them
to
have
a
lot
of
children.
(Genesis
1:28-‐29)
2. With
respect
to
our
children:
a. They
are
our
inheritance
(Psalm
127:3)
b. We
are
commanded
to
train
them
in
the
ways
of
the
Lord
(Proverbs
22:6)
c. In
Biblical
times
they
used
to
stay
with
the
parents
until
they
got
married
and
in
the
meantime
contribute
to
the
well
being
of
the
home,
including
the
economy.
Everything
that
God
has
made
is
good
(Genesis
1:31);
why
then
are
there
so
many
divorces
in
Christian
churches?
Why
are
so
many
of
our
children
in
disarray
and
unbelief?
The
reason
is
that
the
church
has
left
the
truth
God
has
said
in
His
Word
and
have
adopted
the
lie
that
modern
culture
and
our
modern
society
have
presented
as
the
truth.
If
we
are
honest
with
ourselves
we
realize
that
modern
culture
and
modern
society
say
the
following:
1. With
respect
to
our
marriages:
a. It
is
a
way
to
“legally”
satisfy
our
sexual
desires
and
whatever
moral
values
the
“couple”
have.
b. God
meant
for
marriage
to
be
between
a
man
and
a
woman,
culture
accepts
it
no
matter
what.
c. God
meant
for
marriage
to
be
permanent
“
until
death”
do
us
apart”,
culture
teaches
until
“problems”
do
us
apart.
2. With
respect
to
our
children:
a. You
are
supposed
to
take
care
of
him
by
letting
him/her
do
what
they
want.
It
is
illegal
to
correct
them
or
to
enforce
the
rules
of
the
home.

b. At
18
or
shortly
after
they
should
move
out
of
their
homes
and
become
independent.
They
should
not
have
the
“burden”
of
taking
care
or
honoring
their
parents.
c. They
should
not
be
forced
to
have
the
parent’s
religion,
nor
be
taught
of
values
and
morality
that
are
politically
incorrect.
Government
has
to
set
the
rules.
“Government”
“Big
brother”
knows
best.
d. At
18
or
shortly
after
they
should
move
out
of
their
homes
and
become
independent.
They
should
not
have
the
“burden”
of
taking
care
or
honoring
their
parents.
In
our
times,
government
schools
and
the
media
have
taken
the
responsibility
and
the
authority
to
determine
what
is
best
for
the
citizens
of
this
country.
Politicians
and
the
media
determine
what
is
morally
right,
and
or
what
is
truth
without
concern
of
what
does
God
says
or
wants.
In
fact
our
culture
has
emerged
to
be
the
“me”
culture.
Where
God
can
not
interfere
with
our
business
or
actions.
No
wonder
we
have
so
much
corruption
and
evil
in
this
world.
No
wonder
many
of
our
families,
churches
and
children
have
going
astray.
What
can
we
do,
follow
what
God
is
telling
the
church
in
2
Chronicles
7:14,
“If
my
people
which
are
called
by
my
Name,
shall
humble
themselves,
and
pray,
and
seek
my
face,
and
turn
from
their
wicked
ways;
then
will
I
hear
from
heaven,
and
will
forgive
their
sin,
and
will
heal
their
land.”
Let
us
take
a
stand,
let
us
do
as
in
the
times
of
Nehemiah,
let
us
go
back
to
basics
let
us
bring
God
back
into
our
lives;
let
us
start
re-‐building
this
country
now.
But,
if
you
don't
want
to
worship
the
LORD,
then
choose
right
now!
Will
you
worship
the
same
idols
your
ancestors
did?
Or
since
you're
living
on
land
where
self-‐
gratification,
pleasure
and
worldly
culture
reign,
maybe
you'll
worship
their
gods.
I
won't.
My
family
and
I
are
going
to
worship
and
obey
the
LORD!
(
Joshua
24:15).
