This edited 2011 post continues challenging the disastrous rebel thinking and actions of Western nations falling away from the spiritual, moral and ethical tenets on family that once informed their societies during the Christian era now past. As a boat set adrift at sea after being released from its moorings, so, our nation with other sister Western nations that are forcefully untying themselves from their Christian mores (Psalm 2:1-3)! Besides the fearful natural consequences of hopelessly drifting, there is the never before seen magnitude global storm brewing on the horizon propelled by the living God who comes to judge the rebellion against Him (Jeremiah 25:30-33).1

This is where the silliness of moral relativity shows through in brilliant clarity. If there are no moral absolutes, then, who says men have to take responsibility for the children they father? There is no one without the other. Right doing follows righteous requirement and thinking.
Until now, men across cultures have been driven by the invisible compass of conscience (installed by God), societal norm and peer enforcement to do the right thing for their children. Also, God made His will and negative view of rebel Christian men known through His written Word distilled powerfully by the apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 5:8. For our nation’s legal and social authorities to attempt to shame and punish deadbeat dads into right action while also supporting moral relativity is absurd to the extreme. Males from childhood must intentionally be taught there is a moral imperative from a holy God at work in their conscience and supported by all levels of the social order that they only bring forth children within marriage and in that context take full responsibility for their care.
As a teenage father I knew sex outside of marriage was wrong, but willfully chose to pursue my desires without restraint and in a setting of diminishing societal opposition. When children were actually born (some were aborted), it was also initially easy to walk away. But after I met the Lord, He restored my conscience and His absolute righteous requirement that I take responsibility for those I had fathered and father any others only in the context of marriage. Our nation must return to God in Christ and the moral absolutes of the Bible if there is to be any hope of restoring fathers to their children as the prophet Elijah will do in Israel when he comes (Malachi 4:4-6). I have written more on a father’s responsibilities in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics.3
