Prostituting Our Daughters

Scripture Passage : Leviticus 19:29

1. 
   
   
   

Introduction: We face a great battle today of which I am afraid we are ignorant. One by one our strengths are becoming weaknesses. We are waving the white flag and we don’t even know it. We have often discussed the importance of having Godly men who are strong in the faith, but I’m afraid that we have focused so strongly on other areas that we have neglected one of our greatest weapons. The future strength of this church as well as many others like ours is heavily dependent upon what we do as relating to this battle. This battle is the battle for our women and in particular our daughters. Satan has robbed the church blind of its daughters. Do names like Jessie Daniels, Kelly Clarkson, Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Shelly King, and Britney Spears ring a bell? They all started out either going to Church as children or are in Church now. Who’s next? It may be that my daughter or your daughter is the next target of Satan. So what shall we do?

Are you willing to deny yourself and fight the fight for your daughters? Are you willing to suffer persecution to spare your daughters? Are you willing to change the way you act, dress, talk and walk to rescue your daughters? If you are willing, God will both enable you to fight and reward you for fighting. THE QUESTION STANDS, ARE YOU WILLING?
