Great Men and Praying Women

TheTalibancannot be conquered, the Russians tried, the Americans tried, let's see now if the Chinese try.After twentyyears of American occupation, the Taliban say, "the Americans have the clocks, but the Taliban have the time." Thatmay betrue, but God has the time, grace, mercy, and forgiveness. God is not movedby wavingmachine guns, or by merciless executions. This grieves God. How will the Taliban rule, particularly withregard to women, now that the Americans are gone?Twenty yearsfeel more like sixty years for ä population whose life-expectancy is only thirty years. Americanmillennialsstart "adulting" atage thirty. For an entiregeneration Talibanwomen experienced Western freedom, but what is better, some of them have experienced the freedom that can only come from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Humility, submission, obedience, these are components of fervent prayersbut, sadly, Afghani women have practiced these traits while being oppressed by Afghani men. God listensattentively to the prayers of mothers, daughters, sisters, and all women.Taliban men should recognize the power of a woman's prayers, and they should put that prayer to work to rebuild their nation.The sayinggoes, "behind every great man is a great woman."But inmy life, I say, "ä praying woman, who is honored and listened tö by her man, builds a great man." She inculcatesin her man the attributes of family responsibility and Godly purpose.My wifestood by me and helped me avoid a lot oftestosterone fueled, boneheaded decisions, that could have killed me, or at least put me in jail.I'm notjust bashing men here. Let's notdeny thatestrogen causes a lot ofunnecessary anxiety, depression, and gossip. But how can wecoexist with the opposite sex?How canArabs and Jews get along? This book has the answer to all conflicts. His name is Jesus!
