Enjoy. Learn the truth and help keep your children free.
The description of the problem is not a small thing. I lead you through a wide field to show you the snakes and the arsenic. But after having recognized what needs to be fixed, then the answer is given. So do not despair at the reading of the problems, for at the end comes the answer. Doing things God's way and enjoying the victory He has given to you in Christ. Even for your children, the victory is won! Be glad and be strong and carry on to the end. The fruit is more than worth the labor of love it takes to help your children. Plenty of scripture is given so you can trust God to help you understand.
The Bible says that the Holy Spirit of God helps a man to know and understand the truth of God. John 15:26 John 16:14
It is in His help that I trust you can see why I have written to help parents arm their children with the truth so they can withstand the deceptions of the world.
1. THE PROMISE OF GOD:
It takes a move of God to restore the hearts of God to the children and the children to the fathers.
See Malachi 4:6
2. THE PROBLEM EXPOSED:
Opposition to family unity: We are not ignorant of the devices of the enemy. If they have declared warfare on our children and our faith, then he who ignores or denies the truth of that war is a fool.
Seed thoughts in your child's mind sometimes produce actions in his life
Values education by those who contradict your values
Brave New World Economic Order
Evolution and Religious Humanism and its logic of higher critical thinking affects children.
...Religious Humanism tenets of its faith
...Positive thinking examples of the rationale taught by religious humanism are dominant in school posters today
...Early Sex Education means premature sex, a la Brave New World
WEEDS in the garden can choke out the good seed.
Wrong ideas can grow like a cancer in imagination of children
Wages of Sin is death effects of arsenic on children
3. DOING THINGS GOD'S WAY:
Acknowledge the war humanists declared Recognize the serpent that has attacked, and claims to be winning, Admit the truth of the situation.
Examples of good things that can be done
4. FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
Good results from doing godly things with faith toward God
All across America, there is a move of God showing men men how their big job is to be a father to their children.
Why does it take a move of God
How much time do they spend with you?
Ask yourself how many values you've passed on to your children? How many has the public school given them? Are they the same values as yours? Or are some of those values different?
How many stories have you taken time to tell them of your life and your learning experiences?
How much bonding has there been compared to what you might want?
Have you told them of the problems you faced growing up and what happened?
Have you told them how you learned your lessons in life?
Have you told the stories your father told you?
Have you helped your child see the process of growing up is not just their experience alone, but is common to all? Especially you!
Realize that the emotional issues you faced as a teenager are very likely the same ones faced by your children. Have you explained to them the particular problems you experienced? After all, you haven't made it to perfection yet, and most likely you have passed on some of the same old traits to your children and they need to hear from you. Like the second stage on a rocket booster, they need your experience!
Because so many men have been preoccupied with making more money, so many wives have been occupied with making more money instead of making young men and women grow up in godly homes. Economic necessity? Only if you set your standards on money instead of the word of God.
Children no longer have neighborhood streams or ponds where they can go fishing with dad. They no longer cook together in the kitchen. Pizza is ordered in for the tired working parents. T.V. is turned on for the occuping of family time. The whole family sits on a couch and watches strangers come into their home and create strange new values for the children.
Children wire in to video games, sometimes with helmets of miniature tv screens one inch before their eyes and push electronic buttons chasing spiders and flies and animated enemies of weird kinds.
SPECTATOR MOM'S AND DADS
Dads watch little boys and girls play soccer from the sidelines from age five or six up through school graduation. When do they play together? Where does the little boy get to interact with dad or the little girl with mom? Organized little league sports have reduced mom and dad to mere spectators from the earliest possible age.
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES FILL THE SPARE TIME
Have you seen a family with four children keep up with all the school sponsored activities? Remember those state endorsed things are void of reference to God and they can literally fill every evening of a week. Then there's school trips. Not just twenty or fifty mile trips, but a five hundred miles, a thousand to Colorado, or two thousand miles to New York city. Are mom and dad there to enjoy it with the kids? No.
Who do the kids get to spend all that time with, on their own, peers and teachers.
Most parents are out of the picture for the big events like that in a child's life.
For the weekly routine, let's see, there's Monday nite TV, Tuesday choir sectional rehersals. then Wednesday and Thursday sports practice for football, basket ball, soccer, and baseball, then the Friday night games and the Saturday night date or party at the school dance. That leaves Sunday night and what else? When do Mom and Dad spend time doing something fruitful with the children? How many days out of a week?
CHURCH SPONSORED ACTIVITIES CAN ISOLATE PARENTS FROM CHILDREN.
Some of us get to add in Church to the time schedule. That means youth nights at church, youth activities, too often segregated by age and guess who is there. The young youth director and the youth. Not hardly any parents. Let God be God. The church is a vessel of good things. The church serves many people. Let the church serve in some way to also help parents and children bond together in good environments; and not just always keep children separate from parents. It is good for children of all ages to learn to honor their parents and others who are of older age than themselves. Let us not fall into the world mentality of separate culture for separate ages. There is a time for all things, but not all church time is to be separating parents from children or parents from youth.
In this century, we've had two world wars and many other smaller wars that divided family and home, father and son, mother and daughter.
The home has become destabilized from what it was for two centuries in America.
Now, even the World Book Encyclopedia of 1995 says the state system must take over the job of raising children because parents aren't doing it. See the article on Education second paragraph.
Local school literature, as well as region, state, and national declares the same trend in the educational blob. It looks for ways to take over the job of mommy and daddy. The result is that children trust more in the state and look more to the state system than to their own family.
These are the last days. Look at the brave new world factors.
Headlines about clones! Dolly the sheep is the first widely publicized genetic life engineering. Soon there will be more, most of it kept secret for a long time, but the strange beasts of Revelation may be connnected to this genetic engineering and its foul-ups.
Nations are cooperating through the U.N. to put man on the planet Mars. Behind the scenes there is much merging of national finances between those who serve wealth and power, position and prestige more than God.
The European Union is quietly forming its international army and has many thousands of troops on U.S. soil by treaty with the U.N.
The Constitution has been reinterpreted to mean things contrary to the original intent of our nation's Founding Fathers who were, 95% of them, god fearing men. They intended that the Bible should remain the basis of all true and good education in America: and that the Ten Commandments should be the basis of good law.
Those ideas have been removed from our national schools. The national schools are now turning out their own national standards which ignore, denigrate, and hide the truths of God under the false clokes of philosophies of men and oppositions of so-called science.
The assault on your children in our public schools is widely acknowledged by the humanistic forces that guide the economics and politics of our school system "blob".
Just consider that the founding father of modern education, John Dewey, was a devout athiest. His desire was that children be delivered from their false hopes in God and our schools and churches be reconstituted to a more universal humanistic rational thinking (higher critical thinking) approach to solving the problems of mankind.
You can see the documentation for that idea in the Humanist Manifesto I of 1933 and the Humanist Manifesto II of 1973 and Humanist Manifesto III of 1980. Notice that it took 40 years between the first and second, but only ten years after the second until the third version was produced. Quite an increase in accelerated growth.
There are over three hundred thousand dues paying members of the American Humanist Association intent on producing their end result.
What goal do the humanist thinkers seek?
1. A world goverment makes sense to them. Nothing wrong with that. God will perfect it. The humanists want to do it without God. The humanists want to ignore or deny God and His absolutes.
2. To teach their values to your children so there's no conflict with what they're doing.
3. Dominate the text book publishing industry and national standards to their approval, not Christian.
Have any part of those goals been accomplished? The humanist publications declare "...we are winning the battle for hearts and minds of children in the classroom over the rotting corpse of Christianity...".
Traditional values of morality are having terrible errosion. Like the good top soil errosion on dry farm land, when Christian parents won't control their children's education, the godly topsoil erodes and the crops go bad.
CROPS AND SEEDS:
I know you already know these things but to freshen your memory, a few examples of common wisdom are given here:
We know these things to be true. Why don't the teachers realize what they're doing when they subject the children to so much trash material in school and quit doing it?! They say they're just going with the flow.
Well, the flow is according to the law of entrophy or the law of gravity. I want a teacher who will hold forth an ordered pattern for the child to see and learn. I reject those teachers who delight in feeding chaos to the little children.
Thoughts and emotional experiences are strong seeds that can produce fruit in a child's life.
Teachers know this. We used to only want to plant good seeds. Today, many delight in planting twisted seeds. Consider for example a high school speech teacher having students get into the emotions with their heart and mind of a demented killer and all his crazy distorted thinking as they emote from the heart how they feel when brutally murdering a dozen people. Is that the seed you want your child to grow with?
We used to teach the teachers to only have the children emulate the good people in life, but not any more.
At least you can protect your own child by waking up to the situation and taking action.
Elementary school girls are read stories by the teacher that go like this, "Murder in the Doll House..."
Humanists don't want any body causing trouble to them by making mention of any absolute values from God. They want everybody to accept everything as equal. Men laying with men, and anything else that enough people vote and pay money to make popular.
That's why they're so intent on teaching multicultural values so they can sneek in any values they want to the early age children. You won't see this in print at your local PTA meeting, but you can see it in the national literature of their organizations.
When Darwin's new version of a theory of evolution was published around 1859, the changes in people's thoughts began to accelerate. Several weak lies of the enemy twisted together and gained strength like string braided together into a rope.
Isolated lies associated together and gained strength through their deceptive unity.
RELIGIOUS HUMANISM The only limit to what you can do is what you think you can do. Doesn't this fly in the face of Bible that teaches us not to think higher of ourselves than we ought? Of course it does. Didn't the psalmist teach us not to reach for things too high for us?
Doesn't the experience of climbing a tree or climbing a mountain teach us not to reach too far or we'll fall. How many kids have you seen fail because they tried to do too much. They started out with the zeal and strength of youth fed a few lies of 'you can do anything', and took on too much, failed, and got messed up. Children are taught if it seems good to you then it is good to you. They are not taught to look to the standard of God for righteousness and truth. It's not positive thinking we seek, but godly thoughts. It's not self-driection we want, but for God to direct our steps and our thoughts. Bring up the children in a godly fashion is commanded us by God. Let us trust and obey. There is no other way.
God will bless you for doing His will. Just like you bless you son or daughter when they do what you like.
You can teach your children what they need to know about sex.
Weeds in the garden can choke out the good seed (See Luke 8:7).
The weeds include the cares of this world, riches and pleasures of this life.
The cares of this world? Who knows what this means? God has told us to cast all our cares upon Him. That too is hard to understand without faith towards God. But what does a teenager care about? What are the cares and concerns, what are the worries and anxieties of a child? How do weeds get planted and what are some examples? Weeds get planted when a beautiful poster put on the school hall or supplementary material says:
The confusion of words is a great thing to recognize. It is necessary to have treasured up the word of God in your heart to recognize the way God uses pure words, and the way men corrupt the truth.
Scripture says "Hold fast the form of sound words." (2 Timothy 1:13) When a teacher allows misuse of words, then meanings mix over from one context to another. Every word of God is pure.
Shun profane and vain babblings for they have increased more and more unto ungodliness.( 2 Timothy 2:16)
WRONG IDEAS CAN GROW LIKE A CANCER THROUGH THE IMAGINATION OF A CHILD
A teacher must be ashamed who can not rightly divide the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)
And the parent is responsible to know who is teaching his children and what. Prove all things. Let the teacher first be tested before setting him loose on your child's mind and heart.
The understanding that a wrong idea can grow in a child's mind is shown by 2 Timothy 2:16 where scripture says "...will increase unto more ungodliness..."
The understanding that false teaching can eat away any good teaching is shown by 2 Timothy 2:17 where scripture says "...and their word will eat as a canker..."
The only way to avoid being deceived is to receive a love of the truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:10)
When you love the truth, you desire it more than silver or gold. You will pay any price for the truth.
The kingdom of heaven is like the pearl which when a man discovered it buried in a field, he went and sold all that he had to buy the land where that one pearl could be had.
How can a teacher rightly explain the Constitution or the laws of the land to children unless that teacher can first explain the word of God rightly divided? Some have swerved aside from the truth, desiring to be teachers, understanding neither what they say, nor what they affirm. But we know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully. See 1st Timothy 1:6-8. Let's take our teachers back to the requirements of the founding fathers of this great nation and require the Bible truth. After all the humanists have plainly declared their recognition of teachers who affirm the humanists way. Shall we deny the Bible to please the humanists who want our children to let go of the Bible? Or shall we have teachers who show by example the importance of godly faith in understanding life. (see also 1 Tim 1:19. Yes, the word of God is profitable for correction and reproof and doctrine. Let us exhort one another to good works.
To see an example of twisting words, consider this, What is happiness. Scripture gives us a good understanding of true happiness. Will you allow the world to plant weeds contrary to understanding God's way? Will you allow your son or daughter to believe that happiness can be found any other way but by Jesus Christ? Is happiness found by doing what makes you feel good? Or by obedience to truth? What is truth? Jesus says the word of God is truth. Schools mostly teach that truth is whatever seems real to you. The philosophy of men says truth is whatever you want it to be and they deny the absolute truth of God with their lies. Will you allow the contradictions of men to stand as truth in your children's mind? Study the scripture, and then spend one week in public school to see all the philosophies of men that sneak by into the eyes and ears of children. The public school system is full of what Jesus Christ would call weeds and thorns. After all, the schools are the result of text books, curriculum guides, rules and standards mostly set by humanists. The time when church people had oversight of the schools is long gone. Now they are controlled by a government beauracy that does not even see the value of having the law of God hung on the walls. Can you see how the weeds have already choked out much of the good seed? Is the Bible studied in class? No, but philosophies of men are.
Can a child read the Ten Commandments on the halls? No, but he can see the philosophies, value systems of man's way of thinking. You told your child to go to school and learn. What do you want him to learn? What is he or she learning? That the Bible doesn't really say much of importance? We must no need to know the word of God or else some teacher would be helping us learn it in school if it were important at all?
The numbers counted by many churches of those children who were in church while they were at home but dropped out of church after leaving home, amount to nearly 80% of the children. This is related to divorce in marriage, dropping out of college, losing hope in life, even despair, drugs, failure in hopes and dreams, and problems with their own children because of forgetting God. There is also the matter of eternal rewards and judgment for the things done in this mortal body. The consequences of not laying a good foundation according to scripture can mean that when the trials of life come, the house that was built shall not endure the storm. We must build on solid rock. Christ is the solid rock. To build right in the lives of our children we must trust what He says and obey Him to do it by faith. God will help those who trust towards Him.
If you were going to take your child on a trip to the woods, wouldn't you want to be able to keep out of any poison ivy? Learn what the poison ivy is, and study to be able to recognize the rattlesnakes. Do not be ignorant of those things that can hurt, and you will know how to avoid getting hurt. If any man will examine the truth, he will see what I say. The atheists acknowledge the battle that is going on in the classroom for the mind of your child. It's been printed over and over in national literature. It's time for you to wake up to the war. Read the articles on Humanist Manifesto's and compare to the classroom today.
Read the Communist Manifesto and the Communist Worker's Handbook. You can find the hand book reprinted in the back of Catherine Millard's book, The Rewriting of America's History. That book is endorsed by the Chaplain of the United States Senate. How much higher recommendation do you need to read a good book for helping recognize the problems your children face?
It's required reading on my list for parents today in America.
Pray to God. Sometimes we have not because we ask not. James 4:2
Ask God to do what He said and return the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers.
Ask God for His mercy and help. (Hebrews 4:16)
Recognize the serpent that has bitten you (John 3:14)
Count the snake bites, and the various kinds and ways. Recognize the sins and the problems that resulted. Recognizing a problem is a good step towards seeing a solution.
Confess your own snake bitten failure and falling short of the glory of God in doing all He commanded about training up children. It just takes one slip on a mountain to fall.
Admit your own omissions of good things you could have done and determine in your heart to begin doing the good things with the help of God.
Ask God to work in you to will and to do His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13) He said He does. He just wants you to believe and trust. Let your faith work through the love of God for the good upbringing of your children. Trust in the finished work of God, that He has not lost control. Not one hair of your head falls to the ground without His notice. He rules over all. Trust that He has reconciled all things unto Himself through Jesus Christ' shed blood at the cross. That all things, including these situations have been overcome at the cross. See Colossians 1:20 and then understand Romans 8:28-
Take the victory God has given you, and then in faith see it worked out in your life. Amen.
Ask God to show you ways of good thingss to do for and with your children.
Some examples of good things that can be done.
Picnics:Take time for picnics in a park.
Exercise, play time: Spend time with the children playing tennis to get your exercise instead of you jogging by yourself. Take the walk with your children instead of by yourself.
Stars: Lay out in the yard on a blanket at night and look up at the stars with your children. Get a star gazer book and point out the various stars and planets to them. They may not have ever taken time to really look at the sky. It can be good to do just that.
Men have done it for centuries.
Stories: Read stories to your children. Get a copy of William Bennetts' book, The Moral Compass. It's rich with wonderful stories that teach good lessons for living. It is very hard to find anything like it in many public schools today. They tend to have a lot of goosebump books and stories about juvenile delinquents, or witches or whatever is comming through the popular media.
Help your children slow down and get ready for bed at night with a time of communication and peace and good thoughts.
Slow down the morning breakfast and have some good words to go with a good meal to start the day off right. The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day.
Invite your child's friends over and take them to a park to play.
Don't begrudge the time while you're doing these things. Give yourself over to them wholly. Let go of your other cares while you play with your children or teach them.
Your children are the reason you go to work. Your children are the reason you come home. Act like they are important. Don't begrudge the time. Don't mix the time trying to do office work while you watch them out of the corner of one eye at the park bench.
Don't think your child is too young for your time. Don't think their too old for your time. They need you to spend time with them at every age so long as they're around home.
Don't let them go off into the cold world without first making sure they know what they need to know. See my book on The Pattern of Christ. It shows an action approach to salvation for the eternal soul which God did, and when understood by faith can be applied to every situation in life. Surely what God did for our eternal salvation is more than sufficient also for our situations in life! In the old days, a farmer wouldn't send his son off without plenty of seed. Today, the seed your children need is the reproducing pattern of the faith of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us to do all things according to the pattern shown to us by God. He has shown us His love, mercy, acceptance and reconciliation. The pattern is in the seed. Our seed is Christ. Your children need to understand so they can live by the faith of Jesus Christ.
Don't let them leave home without learning this.
Realize that three hours watching a movie in silence sitting on a couch is not the same as playing a game with your son or daughter. It's not the same as talking for a little while about things. Going to a movie and watching a screen in silence is not as valuable for helping them as doing something with each other.
The joy of doing things with and for your children will give you strength and renew your youth and make you happy. It will bless your children.
God will bless you and the time you spend on your children will be multiplied for you.
God will make a way for you to do His will towards your children, and your heart will be enlarged with love toward your children, and they toward you. Just like He said!
Show them how to cook a steak. Show them the art of cooking. Help them appreciate the wonders of a kitchen and the human body.
Point out to them the poison ivy and the rattlesnakes. Tell them the benefits of avoiding the snares of wrong thinking and false understandings.
Place Bible scriptures on posters around the home. They can have great effect because it is done in obedience to scriptural faith.
Help your children know they are more important than your job or your hobby or your neighbor next door, or your friend across town.
Jesus was raised up on butter and honey so He could know to choose the good and reject the evil. Isaiah 7:15. The honey is related to praise for the good things and good effort put forth. Praise your children. The butter is related to telling them how God is working in them to do His good pleasure. Christ in you is your hope of glory. You don't have to depend on yourself. God tells you to count on Him, to look to Him, to trust Him to help you always. Teach your children the same thing. Don't leave them alone. Give them the faith of God with them. That is Christian to do for your children. God bless you. He will bless a man so long as that man is seeking God. Regardless of where you start, if you have turned to seek the will of God He is there with you helping you to will and to do His good pleasure. You are right on course! Praise Him in your heart and with your whole being for the good things He has and is doing for you, with you, and in your life.
Each seed reproduces according to its kind. You plant good thought and you get good actions.
Or if you plant murderous hateful thoughts and have the child emote to it in class, you teach him to be that way. Teachers should not be allowed to open the door of such atrocities to children. Teachers who feed arsenic should be fired. Administrators who allow arsenic into the schools should be replaced with someone who can tell a good seed from a bad seed, and who will fight for the right instead of just going with the flow.
As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Proverb
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Gospel
Cease to hear those things that cause to err from the path of righteousness. Proverb
Birds of a feather flock together. Folk wisdom, common sense.
Children become what they learn to imitate. common lore teaching wisdom for bringing up children.
Surround a child with beauty and harmony and he will learn to love beauty and harmony and reject confusion. See Isaiah 7:15
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart. Proverb
The word of God is like a good seed producing good fruit in you since the day you hear it. See the parable of the Sower and Colossians 1:6
Yes, I've seen elementary school children put through role playing games of bully's and deliquent behavior in the name of teaching. The trend exists from pre-school through 12th grade and beyond. Wake up and smell the skunk. Then be diligent to see your child's assignments. You could even join together with other parents through this Parent Information Network.
Sex awareness is pushed upon elementary school boys and girls in kindergarten and first grade through a national Good Touch Bad Touch Program that says it is only trying to help.
Values education is planned for your child from pre-school through kindergarten through twelfth grade and beyond. And those values are not the traditional Judaeo-Christian values of the Bible, but they are the twisted, distorted, sick fantasies of men who deny God and believe we evolved up from the slime, so there's no absolutes but the need for change always.
Evolution theory had been around for a long time. But now Darwin added a few new twists to the old theories and gave some incomplete examples of birds on isolated islands and got people to believe his theory like never before.
This new belief in evolution ushered in a wave of rationalism that opened the doors for what we call Religious Humanism. The tenets of that faith include these ideas:
(1) Since man evolved upward from the slime, there was no fall of man but instead an upward evolution. Man is getting better and better as he evolves.
(2) Since there was no fall of man, there is no such thing as the Christian idea called original sin. Hence no need for Jesus Christ to redeem mankind from an original sin that does not exist.
(3) Man evolved out of CHAOS. Therefore chaos and confusion produced man. It was not an orderly, loving all knowing God who produced man.
Rational thinking as a basis of living and values had been around since the Greeks.
Relativism had been discussed greatly during the so called Age of Reason, but Christians might better term it as the age of growing imaginations.
Positivism was a kindred word with relativism. You've heard the phrase, relative positive? It means to call something a positive, relative to something else. As a theory or philosophy, it need not accept any absolutes. It sets its own scale of values from minus infinity to plus infinity. It sets its own values. And by twisted logic can make anything equal to anything, or superior or inferior.
These terms, relativism, positivism, higher critical thinking were endorsed and popularized in America by people like John Dewey, the atheistic father of modern education. Also around 1920, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who was the first man to espose such philosophies strongly from the bench of our supreme court.
Read the articles on Humanism and John Dewey shown on the menu of this site for more details.
.
You can be what you want to be. This fits with the distortions of evolution and higher critiical thinking. Children are fed this on posters every day at school. Just go look at the common posters given out by national suppliers for public schools.
Have you ever heard of a child wanting to be able to flap his wings and fly?
Did you ever see it happen? So its not true. But it is fed to the children. Results include getting the children to waste valuable time trying to do something that is not fitted to them.
They are taught to base things on their own imagination, void of external references and expecially void of absolutes from God.
They are taught to believe hard enough to do what they want to do. This contradicts the teaching of seeking what is right by the word of God and doing that by the faith of God. It also contradicts the idea Jesus taught when He said, I come not to do mine own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. The early Christians clearly believed in seeking out the will of God for them in Christ and doing that which God directed them by faith working through the love of God. What are children being taught today? Who is responsibile to teach the children? Parents are responsible.
God hold parents accountable. And pastors are accountable to tell the parents.
The children have been given over from a church controled education to a godless environment void of the things God commands should be in their environment and their teaching. How will the children learn God's way unless the parents teach them God's way? Do you think the church has time to get the job done during just one hour on Sunday morning. I think that falls way short of God's plan for raising up children. He meant for parents to be wholeheartedly involved in the training up of their children. Let us be about doing the will of our heavenly Father who gave us our children to raise up in His name, according to His way, like it says in the Book.
SEX EDUCATION
You can teach them WHEN they need to know it.
Remember this. Too early exposure to a child's mind means too early preoccupation with things that otherwise would not have bothered them.
A tender young sapling should not have more weight put on it than it can bear.
People who study human development and thinking processes have concluded that if they can give sexual education to children at the earlies possible age then they can be assured that child has the best chance of enjoying his or her full sexual potential at the earliest possible age. Is that what you want for your children? Do you want a brave new world attitude about sex in your child's life? I trust not. You guard your child against pre-school and kindergarten and first grade sex abuse seminars that may be unofficially happening in your school. They go under the name of Good Touch /Bad Touch and its nation wide. It comes with the pretence of helping avoid sex abuse, but many parents have decided the seminar itself is abusive to the child's frame of mind. The humanism papers have declared their intent to expose children to sex education at as early an age as possible for the express intention of helping them to enjoy sex at an early age and be fulfilled in early sexual development. Read Brave New World for a story about this idea.
The Son of God gave this lesson for all to learn in the parable of the sower.
He explained the good seed is the word of God ( See Luke 8:11).
Are they not the opinions of others, the questions of what to believe, and what to do? The cares of this world, the affairs of this world for a teenager include the opinions of their classmates, what other people think, puberty and dating, prestige of cars, extra spending money, grades that compare and rate him against others in school and trying to figure out what he should do for college and much more.
The only constant is change!
Out of CHAOS, we evolved, through myriad chaotic changes.
We need change in all things so we can improve all things.
Nothing is constant but change.
A positive change is the highest good.
Laws must change. Values must change. All to fit a changing society.
Look at the differences in families. They're all happy. So all their different values are right for them.
Therefore you must learn to accept all values as equally right for whoever likes them.
We evolved from chaos and slime so there is no God and no absolute standards of right and wrong, only there is the net positive change towards what we like.
You can be anything you want to be.
"Imagine anything. Be creative and do it."
There is no difference between men and women.
Race track dog racing and gambling is ok if people have fun doing it.
If you have fun doing it, then its OK for you.
Choose your own values. Any you imagine can be right for you.
Homosexuality is ok for homsexuals because it's what they choose.
If the majority votes for it then it must be right. (The issue here is the mis-application of the word right.
George Washington knew that only God's way is right. Only His will can be good. If ten million people vote against the will of God, that doesn't make it right; it only makes it their choice.
And wrong ideas can eat away the true understanding from a mind, like a cancer eats away healthy flesh.
So the result can be twofold, first an increase of ungodly thinking, and secondly a loss in the amount of truth that is understood.
False words eat as a cancer upon the body of truth understood by a child.
And those words (weeds) will eat as a cancer (2 Timothy 2:17) .
Require for the teachers of your children what the universities of old required just for admission to college, a thorough knowlege of the word of God.
Using the pure word of God in a way that is contrary to scripture causes people to be deceived. Please obey the clear instruction from God that tells us to study to show ourselves approved. A teacher that need not be ashamed is one who can rightly divide the word of truth. A teacher who cannot do this is not qualified to teach your children.
Used to be that the colleges and universities required thorough Bible knowledge for entrance. Harvard, Princeton, Yale, they all, even 187 of the first 200 colleges in America required thorough Bible knowledge in their beginnings. Men of scholarship agreed that the only foundation of knowledge and understanding was the word of God.
Let no one deceive you with vain words. (Ephesians 5:6)
Wages of Sin is Destruction, and Death
For your son or daughter in school this means find out for yourself the background of humanism. Learn to recognize it in all its subtle forms. Else the snake you don't recognize can get close enough to bite you.
There is time for all good things you should do. God set it up that way. It's not just an accident you're reading this. It is in the providence of Almighty God.
He has given you time to learn what you must know to protect your children. It is up to you what you choose to do with that time. You can either spend it on your regular things, or you can spend it on 'be not ignorant of the devices of the enemy."
Those people who have set out to reconstitute the church are the enemies of your children's faith.
They have access to your tax dollars and are spending them on materials and posters and text books that are contrary to the Christian faith.
Read the Bible with your family. Read it to and with your children and your wife.
Pray with your family. Pray with and for your children and your wife.
Let God make you the head of the family like He intended, in humility, not in pride!
See Philippians chapter 2 how Jesus served us. Study that example.
Things you can do as more blessings to your family and children by faith towards God as you do them include:
Easy coaching: Coach them in some sport at as early age as possible.
Your children will stay with God after they leave home. Train up a child in the way that is right and when he is old he will not depart from it.
When they know the way of Christ before they leave home, they will be able to follow Him after leaving home. They will not be deceived. Their love of the truth will protect them. They will have the ability to train up their own family in a godly manner and not be failures but victorious in Christ. You will have passed on the faith to your children so they can pass it on to their children. God knew that Abraham would be faithful to teach his children, and the Bible says that is part of the reason why God chose Abraham.
You can do likewise. You can be faithful to train up your children with godly love.
God bless you in all you do. Amen. He has chosen you and ordained you that you should produce good fruit and that your fruit should remain.
