Short Take #3: Resistance to God’s Design

Here is another short take Christian worldview with David in the film there is this notebook that were shown were a young woman was taking notes and it was that man was created. Number one man was created first. Man was created to to work and to keep the sequelae back into Genesis and man was also created. Number three to give spiritual instruction to his wife and then woman woman was created.

Number one from the man taken from the man number two for the man. Now those are fighting words in. In today's culture.

We know that's why it's resisted by the broader culture because they just their unregenerate and they don't reverence God and they'd reject his word, but that's even rejected within many Christian circles today.

Why do you think that is so resisted God's perfect design for the fitness of a man and a woman together. Well, it's resisted because Satan our enemy is crafty and he's deceitful and he he feeds his lies and we want to be autonomous.

We want to be able to determine our own destiny and we want to be able to this this whole notion of just kind of self-rule and self-reliance. In this idea that you you are the one who's in charge and and the whole the impact of feminism on Christian thinking, I think, is something that few people have been able to really highlight with the with the depth in the way that it needs to be recognized as this is this is a demonic ideology that leaves it leaves women into bondage to feel like they they have to create their own life and they have to sustain themselves. In all these ways, and it puts them at odds with men, and it it it it invites this rejection of God's authority because the question of authority and even the question of of a wife submitting to her on the husband is one that God gives the authority to the man in that relationship. And God says that this is related to to the prefall condition that God made Adam first, and that God gave the commands to him with the expectation that he would then share them with her and so there's this this is part of a rejection of God's providence really in our lives that we want to be the ones to determine what's right and what's wrong for us.

And of course you know because of sin and the nature of the fall men to abuse this idea to when there is this chauvinistic mindset and people can connect and really wretched ways toward women are toward their own lives or toward the women in their life and that's certainly not what Scripture calls us to either but the whole feminist movement in the idea that you have to claim your rights and you have to take this out. This is something that is deserved and this whole patriarchy needs to be dismantled and the whole thing needs to be completely undermined so that you can rise up and and and acquire what exactly I mean it's it's a sad day in which job when people start rejecting the fact that God made you a certain way and he made you that way for a purpose and there's a goodness man in our ability to accept God's providence in his leading in her life. I mean I didn't choose to be born a man. My wife didn't choose to be born a woman. We didn't have any. We didn't have any vote in this process, but that's but that's how God made us and so part of part of our life as believers is to recognize that that fundamental fact by nature that God intended for us to live out our life, he was intended for me to live out my life as a man, and for my wife to live out her life as a woman that that is good for us to embrace God's design and intention for us in that way.

And you know what else it does is it undercuts a lot of things that we would normally that culture might tell us that we need to seek out or trying acquire for ourselves.

It it states able to undercut that kind of restlessness of the human heart that always feels like it has to be filled with something else, something else, something else when really there is there's a there's a contentedness that comes will invest in who God made us to be what God wants for us what God plans for us and give up the reins and we stop fighting God and that there is a piece that actually comes to this is something that Christians should recognize not only the destructive power of it but also the benefit of offense phone line with this is been a short take Christian want to be with David.
