24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew 7:24-7

By now, you all probably know that Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs gave a commencement speech to Benedictine College Graduates.

In his speech, he talked about traditional American values along with things such as morality, ethics, and the Biblical and traditional roles of men and women, and their importance to American society.

And, Far Left Democrats lost their minds.

Why?

It was the way that my generation was raised. You know, the generation that the younger generation is derisively calling “Boomers”.

There’s a reason that those on the Left of the Political Spectrum are reacting so negatively to the speech made by Harrison Butker.

It was against everything that they base their current political ideology on.

Things which they have tried so hard to label as divisive, misogynistic, old-fashioned, and culturally “ignorant.”

Butker bravely spoke out about a lot of things that those young graduates needed to hear.

Things that are more important than culturally-driven platitudes and politically-inspired notions of right and wrong.

He spoke of the things that really matter.

Things which involve honor, courage, and most importantly, reverence toward the One Who Made Us.

America was founded by men and women of faith who left their home countries so that they could worship freely without restrictions and without the government coming down on them with an iron fist.

As we have been witnessing in the last few decades, America has been moving away from our initial beliefs as a country.

That is why we are beginning to circle down the old porcelain receptacle.

We have allowed weak men of questionable morals and situational ethics to dictate to us how we should live our lives instead of listening to the God of Abraham.

Butker caught a lot of heat because he spoke about the importance of women in the home.

And, he spoke out against the killing of the unborn in the womb.

Of course, the Far Left did not like that at all.

Nowhere in the speech did he say that women shouldn’t work. He just said, and rightly so, if they are a wife and a mother, after God, their next priority should be their family.

That goes for husbands as well. A house is a building. A family built upon the Solid Rock  makes it a home.

America began to erode when the government decided that it could do a better job of raising children than the Traditional Family Unit could.

In order for America to prosper, traditional families should be championed, not torn asunder.

God meant for men and women to work together and lead children in the way in which they should go.

Without that foundation, it is very hard for young people to strive toward individual achievement.

Harrison Butker should be commended and appreciated for speaking the truth to the graduates of Benedictine College.

I believe that most Americans appreciate what Harrison Butker did. From what is being reported, his football jerseys are selling through the roof to both men and women.

It will be interesting to watch and see if this will signal the beginning of a cultural movement back toward Traditional American Faith and Values, which I believe that the silent majority of Americans still hold dear.

All that I am sure of is that God is in control.

Until He Comes,
