The Madness Of The Human
Heart
By David J. Stewart
Ecclesiastes 9:3,
“This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that
there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is
full of evil, and madness
is in their heart while they live,
and after that they go to the dead.”
The Bible teaches that MADNESS is in the human heart from
birth until death. Who can argue this Biblical truth in view of today's
insane world? The Hebrew word for “madness” is holelah, which means
“folly” (foolishness). Mankind are fools by nature. History attests to the
MADNESS bound in the heart of bloodthirsty humanity, who have murdered each
other by the hundreds-of-millions.
The Word of God proclaims that
men's hearts are utterly wicked and full of self-deception...
Jeremiah 17:9, “The
heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can
know it?”
The Bible says that childhood and
youth are “vanity,” which is the Hebrew word hebel habel meaning,
“emptiness or vanity; figuratively something transitory (enduring a short
time).” Life is short and will last only for a moment (as a vapor of steam).
We are all living on borrowed time for God. We must all give account on
Judgment Day for the life we live...
Ecclesiastes 11:9-10,
“Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the
days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight
of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring
thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away
evil from thy flesh: for
childhood and youth are vanity.”
We learn from the Scriptures that
MADNESS (foolishness) is bound in the heart of every child from birth. We
are also taught by God that proper physical chastisement will drive that
foolishness form a child...
Proverbs 22:15,
“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction
shall drive it far from him.”
Thousands of books have been
written on how to raise children, but the Bible is the only Book that
parents need. The answer is clear and simple—a child should fear getting a
spanking if they misbehave or disobey their parents.
Bible-Denier, Dr.
Benjamin Spock, Thinks He Knows More Than God!
Dr. Benjamin Spock (1903-1998)
thinks he knows more than the God of the Bible. Clearly Dr. Spock rejected
the Bible as God's Word. The infamous Dr. Spock is still recognized by many
pediatricians and other so-called “experts” as the standard on raising
children today. In 1946 Spock's book BABY AND CHILD CARE was published and
is one of the best-selling books of all-time. TRAGIC!!! No wonder America is
a hellhole today. Instead of exposing the immoral and rotten Hollywood crowd
on television, Dr. Spock attacked God-fearing Christian parents who believe
the Bible.
Here are some of Dr. Spock's
warped, errant and unbiblical teachings...
The
following is from Baby and Child Care, 1998, pp. 437-438. This
was the last edition of Baby and Child Care. ...
"There are several reasons to avoid
physical punishment. It teaches children that the larger, stronger
person has the power to get his way, whether or not he is in the
right. Some spanked children then feel quite justified in beating up
on smaller ones. The American tradition of spanking may be one
reason there is much more violence in our country than in any other
comparable nation."
Dr. Spock was a member of the EPOCH-USA
Board of Directors right up until the time of his death. Thus, he was so
strongly committed to never, ever hitting children, that he loaned his
name in support of the no-hitting cause!
Benjamin Spock, M.D. died on March 15,
1998.
As you just read, Benjamin Spock
taught that physical punishment of a child would lead to bullying and
increased public violence. The truth is that Dr. Spock was a nutcase who
rejected the Bible just as did the wicked U.S. Supreme Court in 1963.
Foolishness (madness) exists in the heart of every child by birth and must
be driven from him, or else that child will bring its mother to shame!!! ...
Proverbs 29:15, “The
rod and reproof give wisdom: but
a child left to himself bringeth
his mother to shame.”
Carefully notice in the preceding
Scripture that the Bible doesn't say to beat a child senseless as the
Benjamin Spock crowd would like to portray. The Hebrew word for “rod”
literally means “to branch off” (literally, a stick); and the word “reproof”
means “to chasten” (figurative, by words). Did you know that God put that
padded area in the back of every child for a reason?
That's right! God
padded the buttocks for the purpose of spanking. It is not Biblical to
physically abuse any human being, but a good whipping across the buttocks
never killed any child. The Bible teaches for parents to spank a child when
they do wrong. No child should ever be spanked until they first acknowledge
that what they did was wrong. There ought to be clearly defined rules. A
child should know exactly why they are being disciplined.
There's nothing more annoying than
seeing a little brat acting up on an airplane and the parent can't do
anything for
fear of
losing their child.
When I went for my first neck
surgery in 2009 in West Hollywood, I visited the Griffith Observatory in Los
Angeles. It's a world-famous planetarium. A little boy wanted to see the
display in front of me and was pushing and shoving me and others out of his way to get
what he wanted. His foolish parents (they were Caucasian) said
nothing and let him do as he pleased. I wanted to grab that little brat and
spank him myself (and then spank the parents too). That little brat is
headed for a life of problems.
A moment later a
little boy politely asked me if he could see the display and I said, “Why
sure you can.” His parents were Arabs. I was so impressed with their child,
who was a complete gentlemen and well-mannered. What a big difference!
Americans are raising selfish brats these days, little monsters. The best
behaved kids are from foreign countries where societies still believe in
discipline. It's no coincidence that Americans spank their kids less than
any other nation and consequently have more people locked up in prison than
any other nation.
Proverbs 22:6, “Train
up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not
depart from it.”
Don't you tell me that physical
discipline doesn't work. Who are you going to believe, God or some nut with
a degree in psychoanalytical stupidity like Benjamin Spock?
Dr. Spock's crazy “medical” advice
caused as many as 50,000 crib deaths. The idiot literally recommended that
parents lay their child face down in the crib to prevent choking on vomit,
so the babies smothered instead...
"Regardless
of whether you agree with the methodology of Spock, no one can deny that
many children probably died of cot death as a result of his advice to
put babies to sleep on their stomachs. This advice was extremely
influential on health-care providers, with nearly unanimous support
through to the 1990s.
Spock believed that babies on their back can choke
on their own vomit – leading to death. Scientists eventually found that
Spock’s advice actually lead to more deaths by suffocation. Estimates of
the number of deaths caused by this bad advice are as many as 50,000.
Spock also advocated a method of child rearing that moved away from
discipline based methods. Previously, experts had told parents that
babies needed to learn to sleep on a regular schedule, and that picking
them up and holding them whenever they cried would only teach them to
cry more and not to sleep through the night. Spock taught the exact
opposite."

I don't care how much you may
disagree, God knows more about rearing children than you or I do (or
Benjamin Spock). Contrary to a popular rumor, Spock's grandson commit
suicide at age 22, not his son. Benjamin Spock has two sons.
Dr. Spock was wrong in his views
about children! The fastest way to spoil a child is to leave them
undisciplined—just set them in front of the TV, let them do as they please
and buy them a bunch of video games. You'll be sure to raise a brat who's
disrespectful, distrustful and disgraceful.
Listen to what today's insane
educators think about Christianity influencing your children...
“The classroom must and will become an area
of conflict between the old and the new — the rotting corpse of
Christianity, together with its adjacent evils and misery and the new
faith of Humanism, resplendent in its promise of a world in which the
never-realized Christian idea of 'Love thy Neighbor' will finally be
achieved.”
John J. Dunphy, "A Religion for a New
Age," The Humanist, January/February 1983, 26.
Literally, there is a bloodthirsty witch-hunt
in America today against the Bible and genuine Christianity. The newsmedia
has labeled their enemy as “fundamentalist evangelicals” or
“fundamentalists.” I thank God I am one!!! Homosexuality is a filthy,
disgusting, unacceptable, sicko sin!!! Abortion is cold-blooded,
pre-meditated murder! Feminism is a sin—the rotting corpse of U.S. society.
Divorce is a sin. Wifely rebellion is a sin! Drunkenness is a sin! Adultery
is a sin! Trashy Carrie Underwood sexy videos like
GOOD GIRL are
sinful, lustful and lascivious! I will preach against these woeful evils and
all the rest of Satan's kingdom as long as God gives me sanity or until He
takes me home to Heaven!!! (hopefully soon). I want out of this madhouse
world!
Final Words
MADNESS is bound in the human heart. The Bible
says that a child must be disciplined physically and verbally to drive that
madness (foolishness) from them. The Bible drives foolishness away. When the
Godless U.S. Supreme Court drove the Bible out of America's public school
system in 1963, we no longer had God's Word to drive the foolishness out of
our children!!! Yesterday's children are today's foolish adults. America
today is an insane MADHOUSE! It's MADNESS I tell you... MADNESS!!!
Read our text Scripture again...
Ecclesiastes
9:3, “This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that
there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is
full of evil, and madness
is in their heart while they live,
and after that they go to the dead.”
The Bible says MADNESS IS IN THEIR HEART
WHILE THEY LIVE. Who can deny that the world today has become one
giant insane asylum! The only hope is for God-fearing parents to train up
their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, using proper
discipline in a loving and respectful manner as God intended, so that a
child will learn to reverence the Lord with godly fear. If a child doesn't
fear mom and dad, then they won't fear the law nor God and will likely spend
eternity in Hell as we read in Proverbs 23:14...
Proverbs
23:14: “Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul
from hell.”
Salvation begins with the fear of the Lord. If
a person doesn't believe in a literal God, nor a literal Hell that burns
with fire, nor a literal coming judgment day... then they're not going to
come to Jesus Christ to be forgiven of their sins via the cross upon which
Christ died. The Gospel teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ died, was buried
and rose up three days later. If you accept that by faith as payment for
your sins, then you are saved eternally.
Increasingly, as America turns her back on God,
more people are coming to religion and NOT Christianity. We are living in
the most undisciplined, spoiled, bratty generation in the history of
humanity. Brats!
Walt Disney teaches children and teens to sass
their parents, mouth back and have an attitude. Back in the old times you'd
be wondering what hit you if you talked to your parents like that. You'd get
slapped up side the head. I'm not saying that's the right way, but that's
the way it was back then. The fear of God begins with the fear of parents.
Nowadays parents are wrongfully prosecuted for disciplining their children.
I'm not talking about a drunken father who
beats his kids in rage, God forbid. I'm talking about kids behaving because
they know that if they don't, dad's belt is coming off and you're in for a
whipping!!! That fear in the old days made America strong, when Americans
obeyed the Bible's command to spare not the rod upon a child. Today kids are
turning into Godless homosexuals (and they're ALL Godless, every last one).
Homosexuality is a Godless practice, rooted in lust and rebellion against
God. To the same degree that Americans accept homosexuals, to that same
degree a fearful Police State is going up around us. If men won't fear God,
then they will fear men.
Would to God that the Bible were brought back
into our schools to drive the MADNESS from children's hearts, so that they
won't continue growing up to become INSANE adults!

pagan in Africa gets a piece of wood and builds him a god; the intellectual
in the university gets his mind and builds himself a god.”

Jack Hyles, from the sermon titled,
How We Got Here
Worship Only God!
By David J. Stewart
I
have gleaned the following thoughts from listening to Pastor Jack Hyles'
powerful and needful sermon,
HOW WE GOT HERE.
Dr. Hyles explains Romans Chapter one. Please listen to the MP3 sermon.
Anytime you find someone who denies Christ's deity, they are lowering Jesus
to the level of humanity. That is humanism! Humanism is pulling God down and
raising man up! Humanism is exalting man and bringing down God. When you
have a little God and a big man, you have nothing but homosexuality,
adultery, abortion, licentiousness and a wicked society. Idolatry is the
forerunner of immorality and wickedness in any society. America turned
idolatrous before she became immoral.
Anytime that man is exalted and
God is lowered, apostasy results. This is why America is so evil today. We
have brought God low in our schools, government, businesses and even
churches. People today worship the church more than God. It is idolatry!
People worship the body! People worship sports athletes and singers! We
ought to love the church, but worship only God! We ought to love our
families, but worship only God! We ought to praise the Lord continually. God
alone deserves the place of worship in our heart.
Water baptism is good, but it's
not the way of salvation. Don't worship baptism. Don't worship
denominations. Don't worship men. Never put a man where only Jesus should
be. Sometimes God takes from us the thing that you put in His place. Don't
do it! Don't place anything over God in your mind. Intellectuals may not
have an idol in their home, but they have an idol in their philosophies.
They have an idol in their mind. WORSHIP ONLY GOD!!!
“Humanism is mental idolatry.”
