Fathers, Arise!
MEN, you are at war!
2 Corinthians 10: 3 – 6 (NLT)
We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 4We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
Critical Theory & Cultural Marxism
Romans 1: 26 & 27 (NLT)
God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
Isaiah 5: 20 (ESV)
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

20. After the Ball
The Moment
AIDS, though a loose cannon, is a cannon indeed. As cynical as it may seem, AIDS, gives us a chance, however brief,
to establish us as a VICTIMIZED MINORITY legitimately deserving of America’s special protection and care. Playing on our compassion…
This, therefore, is the question
and the challenge:
How can we surmount our “insurmountable” opportunity?
How can we maximize sympathy
and minimize the fear? Emotions
How, given the horrid hand that AIDS has dealt us, can we best play it?
The campaign we outline, though complex, depends centrally upon a program of unabashed PROPAGANDA,
firmly grounded in long established principles of PSYCHOLOGY and MARKETING.
Propaganda:
1) Relies on EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION
2) Uses LIES
3) Subjective & One-Sided
Strategy:
1) Desensitizing
2) Jamming
3) Conversion

22. Mount Sinai Experience
Deuteronomy 11: 1, 2, 18 – 21 (NLT)
“You must love the Lord your God and always obey his requirements, decrees, regulations, and commands. 2 Keep in mind that I am not talking now to your children, who have never experienced the discipline of the Lord your God or seen his greatness and his strong hand and powerful arm. 18 “So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 19 Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road,
when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 20 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21 so that as long as the sky remains above the earth, you and your children may flourish in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors.
Proverbs 22: 6 (ESV)
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Ephesians 6: 4 (NLT)
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.
Nehemiah 4: 14 (NLT)
“Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!”
