but it's our job as parents to raise our kids right,
bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord,
punish them.
You know, the Bible says that thou shalt beat him
with the rod and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
The Bible says withhold not correction from the child.
He that spareth his rod, hateth his son,
but he that loveth him, chasteth him at times.
You know, it's our job to punish our children
when they do wrong.
It's our job to bring them up in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord.
And it's our job also to restrain them
if they were to, you know, have it in their mind
to do some horrible thing.
You see, we can't just give our kids just unfettered freedom
and just let them go do whatever.
Do not give them unfettered access to the internet
because there's so much trouble
that can be gotten into on the internet.
You know, you can't just let your kids
just run wild through the city.
You can't just drop them off wherever
and just leave them.
You've got to supervise your kids.
You've got to make sure.
You know, I'm not just gonna leave it to chance
whether my daughters are a virgin, you know, in my home.
I'm not just gonna leave that to chance
and just say, hey, you know what?
Just, they're just out gallivanting and doing whatever.
They're pulling a diner and they're out seeing
the daughters of the land and who knows where they are.
You know what?
It's my job to basically, you know, watch over my children,
restrain them, protect them.
Now, obviously with our sons,
we have to give them a little more freedom
as they get to an age where they start working a job
and stuff like that.
You know, they hit 16 and they start working a job.
Obviously, yeah, now they have a little more freedom.
That's because someday they're gonna need to be independent
and running a household and the man of the house
and a breadwinner and so forth.
So, you know, when my boys get older,
they basically, you know, they get to a point
where now they have more freedom and they're going to work
and they're driving around and doing stuff and whatever.
But obviously, even then, there's still rules,
there's still boundaries that we put in place as a parent
because we don't want to just let our kids do whatever
because as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
So people that are living in my house must live
up to a certain standard to live in my house.
It's not a free for all in my house, okay?
You know, and even somebody who came and stayed at my house
as a guest, you know, they might not necessarily be held
to the same standard as my family,
but they'd be held to a certain standard.
I'm not gonna have just people come over to my house
living in fornication and staying at my house or something.
There's certain things that I'm not gonna bring
into my house, I'm not gonna allow in my house,
and I'm not gonna allow my children to just do whatever.
I'm not gonna allow teenagers to do whatever.
No, there have to be boundaries, there have to be rules.
And obviously, like I said, with sons,
they have to be given some freedom
because they have to get a job and they have to, you know,
ease into that transition of adulthood
where they're gonna be out on their own,
be in their own man, head of household.
But let me tell you something.
When my daughters turn 16, they're not getting a job.
I'm not just gonna drop them off at some fast food place
where they can be hit on by all the dudes and whatever
because, you know, I know what's out there.
I've been there, I've been a teenager,
I've been a young adult,
I've worked at these fast food places.
I've worked, well, I worked at Round Table Pizza, all right.
Not quite fast food, it was the last honest pizza, okay?
But anyway, you know, I've worked at these type of places.
I've been around, I went to high school,
I went to junior college.
I know what that's like.
And I know that these dudes
with these young, beautiful Christian girls showing up,
they're gonna be like that guy
in the yellow suit behind the tree meme.
You know what I mean?
They're gonna be scheming and conniving.
And let me tell you something,
I don't care what the feminists say,
the Bible says women are the weaker vessel.
And we need to protect the honor and dignity of our daughters.
And even though your daughters might give you attitude
because they wanna just go out and just do their own thing
and just have all this freedom 'cause they're 18 now,
hey, as long as my daughters are living in my house,
there are gonna be some boundaries in place
for their protection, for their safety, for their honor.
Hey, I want them to have a good time.
I want them to enjoy life.
I want them to be successful.
But you know what?
I'm not just going to just put them out there
and just whatever happens, happens.
Because you know what?
I'm sure Dinah wasn't a horrible person.
And I know Jacob was a godly man.
And so what's going on?
You know what I mean?
But she's just, she's out there and whatever.
We, you know, wanna avoid that type of situation
because I don't think that Dinah liked
the way her life turned out
any more than her dad liked it or her brothers liked it.
You know, the dude that she was into got murdered.
And so did the whole town.
That's not exactly what she thought she was getting into
when she went out to see the Daughters of the Land.
