The Woman named Folly

If you are like most who struggle with sexual addictions, when you first turned on your computer this morning, it was not easy for you. We have taken the woman of Folly from Proverbs, and asked her to live with us in our homes. She is on the TV, she visits us on the computer. Even something as simple as checking our email, she is there. Proverbs 9:13-18, "The woman Folly is loud; she is undisciplined and without knowledge. She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way. 'Let all who are simple come in here!' she says to those who lack judgment. 'Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!' But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave." You cannot drive down the road in any big city and not be blasted with billboards. We are being destroyed from within and we act like we don't even notice.

Do you see how the conscience of our young are being taken from them? Our children are being attacked from every angle and most parents welcome it into their homes. Fathers sit back and let their children steel a glance without even knowing it, for they are fooled as well. Mothers have given up their judgment, for they feel defeated and rejected. Our society is pulling our children away from us and we do nothing. Our men are going to war every day, while our women dress to help defeat them.

This is what I see... Men get up every morning with defeat already in their minds. They are blasted with sexual temptation like never before. Then they are told they are just to accept it "for they are men and they cannot help it." Our women are disrespectful toward their husbands, yet loving to everyone else. Their husbands have become these lazy things that come home and sit in front of the TV, because this is what our society has told them to do. The wife is supposed to go out and work, clean the house, and cook dinner, because we all know that the men cannot do it without us. "For they are worthless." There is no expectation placed on them except to turn on the TV or computer and become this worthless pervert. But even in this they are a failure, and we are setting our sons and daughters up for this, while they are still young. We are raising a generation for defeat.

Please wake up! Our men deserve better. Our women need to feel loved from home and not have to compete with an illusion. Our God deserves more. What is happening, right in your own home? What are you turning a blind eye to? I have seen men, I know how strong they can be. I have seen men, I know how defeated they can feel. I am a woman, I know how hard it is for me. We must wake up to what is happening all around us, before we get boiled. I heard a story once about a frog. If you place a frog in boiling water, it will jump out. If you place the frog in water it likes, then bring it to boil slowly, it will gladly kill itself. We never see the fire being turned up, until it is too late. We all need to open our eyes to the truth. We are boiling our children, our families, our once strong men...
