The chaos we now experience across America is mainly caused by the absence of effective fathering. Political and social leaders describe this chaos in terms of teen pregnancy, births where there is no marriage, drugs, violence, crime and poverty. But what most of these leaders fail to see is that fatherlesness is the engine driving the chaos. Fatherlessness is a trap-door responsible for the shocking drop in the quality of life for children. Fatherlessness is the virus that has produced the epidemic of moral ills.
Boys have guns and girls have babies because neither have fathers.
So the origin of the chaos is no mystery. We know what is best for the rearing of children. Research reverberates with that truth. That is what we want for children. But this society gropes about in the darkness of denial of that obvious, Biblical truth.
