Psalm 127: Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. 2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children[a] of one’s youth. 5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
Benjamin Watson is a national treasure.
He has been speaking truth to power for years, encouraging Americans of all colors to hold on to our traditional values of faith, family, and love.
At CPAC 2019 the recently retired New Orleans Saints Tight End told conservatives to remember that the nuclear family is the most important part of Western Civilization.
“Think about the effect that we have when we raise our children the correct way, when we instill values into them. They change culture,” Watson said. “Family is a gift ordained by our creator,” Watson told the audience. “It should be cherished not mocked, upheld not ridiculed, kept together, not torn apart.”

Watson also argued that fatherlessness in America is the root cause of many of our societal ills.

“It’s not about you,” Watson opined. “It’s about the greater good. But on the flip side, it is about you because if you don’t do what we are called to do, our families, our neighborhoods, our country, our world, will suffer because of it. Bind up the wounds, do what you’ve been called to do, engage, and be people who are willing to act with justice, and truth, and mercy, and to walk humbly before our God.”
