Pastor Graylin Watson talks with Peter Helland about the community in South Bend. At the bottom of the discussion is the truth that sin is what destroys a city. Sin began with Adam following Eve in disobeying God. His sin locked mankind into the slavery of that sin. The American experiment seems to purposely help reinforce this slavery by making it practically illegal for the husband/man to rule his home like he ought to. Our system refuses to allow him to claim the authority of God in running his home. On the contrary in America the authority in the home basically comes from the consent of the wife. This makes it near impossible for the man to have his children in subjection with all gravity as the Bible requires. Detroit was supposed to be a model city but just the opposite happened. The only way South Bend or any such city in America can avoid the fate of cities like Detroit is by preventing the city from going the way of Adam following Eve's deceptions and thereby plunging the city into more and more sin and destruction.

St. Paul used the games of his day to draw parallels to the Christian pursuit of eternal life. Peter Helland explains that the success of Vince Lombardi with the Green Bay Packers was dependent on making them excel on the fundamentals of the game, blocking and tackling. Peter uses the southern theologian, Robert Lewis Dabney as he urges Christians to return to the fundamental biblical concepts in marriage that have been lost especially since the Civil War. Dabney wrote in 1871: the great aim of God in ordaining a permanent marriage tie between one man and one woman was that He might seek a godly seed. (Malachi 2:15). Then Dabney declares that the great foundation for the subordination of children [is] in the mothers example. The Old Testament prophets rarely would pluck out their beards and their hair from themselves or others. But when the men married the wrong women they did. The purpose of marriage is to produce godly children and children strongly tend to imitate their mothers. If their mother obeys God who commands her to fear her husband and obey him as unto Christ the children will walk right after her example. It is extremely crucial that men marry godly women or the purpose of marriage is subverted. Back To The Fundamentals](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bhPcJTeaHOo/mqdefault.jpg)
