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?

1. Recognize the value of Daughters

[17] Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. [18] But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

The men of Israel (Judges 21:10-12 [10] And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children. [11] And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
