the breeding ground for progressive societal change, much like
taking Jesus out of everything.
Simply put, the world system-and its representatives-- want
us to believe God doesn’t
matter anymore. Society says
God doesn’t exist. In the world
according to ‘them’ any talk
about Jesus is taboo. Followers
of Christ are the ones society is
trying to stomp out. We are the
ants to the boots of Satan’s ploys
and he is using the unbelieving
population at large to try to marginalize and destroy us. Adults
are hard to change but children
are easier to manipulate. I know
this sounds harsh, but each
time we kiss our kids good-bye
in the morning and send them
to school, we are really sending
them into the lion’s den of hypocrisy. The education they receive
is ok. We all learned how to
read, write, calculate numbers,
and learn about other niceties
but it comes with a price. The
price is the absence of Christ in
the classroom. I remember my
kids coming home asking me if
I knew our ancestors were monkeys or that Christmas is about
family, not Christ, or most disturbing of all, that God is made
up and not real. I can assume
you all have had similar experiences or have encountered like
stories from your own children.
John 15:19 (KJV): “If ye were of
the world, the world would love
his own: but because ye are not
of the world, but I have chosen
you out of the world, therefore
the world hateth you.” No doubt
the world hates us. They despise
us. They are disgusted by the
truth we know. We have freedom. They have despair. When
our children are in school, they
are bullied about their beliefs in
God by not only other kids, but
by the teachers and curriculum
they are taught. Kids are in the
middle of hate and have to deal
with it every day. When faced
with such trials day in and day
out, it is no wonder that a lot of
our youth are turning from God.
They have fallen prey to the evil
spouting of the world and the
sharpened tongues of government sponsored education. If
our children openly give their
Christian opinions or express
their beliefs, they are at a minimum chastised and singled out
as an outcast or, as the world
calls us now, hateful and intolerant people. Truth is truth and
no matter what a teacher or text
book says, if it is contrary to God,
then it is wrong. As adults, some
of us find it difficult to defend
our faith against those that
won’t hear the truth, nor are we
allowed (at a lot of work places)
to express our faith, unless it is
other than Christian. Now imagine what your kids face each day
at school- it’s worse.

my contradictions to her “theories” but instead mocked me as
much as she could. I was thinking of all my classmates being

I did that today in a lecture setting, I would be escorted out of
the classroom and kicked out of
the secular school I attended.

of school. By the second month
