It's Not Complicated! - Jackson-Woods, Ramona A.

Résumé :
It's Not Complicated! is addressed to fathers, mothers, children, and those desiring to marry and become fathers and mothers who will raise, train, and discipline their children (especially boys) to be mature-not placeholders, but healthy, responsible, and independent citizens who are not looking for an easy way out, but rather are seeking God's plan for the prosperity (economic, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being) of their family. The history of the world will tell us just how destructive it is to have people out of place (especially in a family). In other words, the family unit is continuing to break down while the mother and/or father is blaming the other for the destruction they see, instead of taking responsibility to ensure their children are healed of the wounds often caused by the ignorance of the parent(s). God has a plan for man (male and female), the family, and the society. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare (peace) and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11, ESV). Until we do it his way, devastation and death will continue to occur in our homes and communities because of the ignorance we perpetuate when we hear disrespectful words and see disrespectful behavior emanating from our children, youth, and young adults. No society can continue its existence without the male assuming his God-given, God-ordained responsibility to provide leadership for his family in a God-honoring, grace-filled manner that's motivated by love. Without proper instruction and encouragement, we cannot continue as a healthy people or a sound healthy community.
