We Need Men

Father's who shirk their responsibility for their children cause society to become responsible for the children. The following is sobering and also confirms the God ordained authority given to the man as the head of the home. His influence upon the children in the home is undeniably a powerful force in influencing their behavior. Look at the following statistics:

• 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.

• 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.

• 85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average.  (Center for Disease Control)

• 80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average.  (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)

• 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average.  (National Principals Association Report)

 1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)
³ But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
 
Ephesians 5:23 (KJV)
²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.


Being a man is more than having the anatomy of a man but being responsible for ones actions and decisions.
