Colleges a Force for Evil
Walter Williams is at it again. This article from the Daily Signal chronicles some of the unbelievable rhetoric against America alive and well in the class rooms of our colleges. I certainly encourage Christian parents to pursue Christian education for their children at all levels of instruction. If you choose to send your child to a four year program please research the fine Christian Universities in America as your first option. In this way your child can be properly trained and your money goes into the cause of Christ! Here is a tease from the article: "Leftists often say that the U.S. is the world’s worst country. But here are some empirical facts they might explain. According to a recent Gallup poll, about 13 percent of the world’s adults—630 million people—would like to move to another country. Roughly 138 million would like to live in the U.S.—making us the No. 1 destination, followed by the U.K., Canada, and France. There’s something exceptionally appealing about America and the Western world that leftists choose to ignore or lie about." For the whole article follow this link. Democrats Have No Idea What Demons They Are Unleashing
Newt Gingrich recently wrote:"A few weeks ago, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) wrote an article for Vox explaining the movement’s goals – to end capitalism and radically change America. In normal times, the declarations of a fringe party and ideology in America would not merit much attention. However, these are not normal times. A new Gallup poll shows that 57 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism – while only 47 percent view capitalism positively." Wow! Only the blind and uninformed would embrace the ideology of Marxism/Communism/Socialism. I am a capitalist. Why? Because I believe in private property, free enterprise, the work ethic, and the right to prosper through wise living, avoiding debt, avoiding destructive behaviors, making wise decisions, saving and growing wealth over time. It is not the place of government to dictate how much I can own, where I own it, and what I do with it. Nor is it the place of government to confiscate the fruit of my labors and re-distribute it to those who in many cases choose to live quite differently than I do. The Bible teaches all of the above. Try reading the Proverbs. In fact, try reading the WHOLE Bible. Capitalism is not the problem. However, I do not believe our freedom to get wealth (a blessing from God) is to be distorted by greed, covetousness, excess, and unbridled selfishness. In a word we need to harness the blessings of capitalism with the Spirit of Christ. Instead of destroying capitalism we need to place Bible instruction back at the heart of education. Then instead of spouting the empty virtues of socialism our people would be arguing for proper stewardship of wealth in the Spirit of Christ. Only the Spirit of Christ can reign in the excesses of any society. Unfortunately, the wicked often have their way only to find out in the end socialism was not the savior they thought it to be. Mutually shared poverty under the hand of a totalitarian government is the fruit of socialism. Beware my friends! Follow the whole story here. How Faith Based Organizations Are Helping Communities Recover from Hurricane Florence
Here is a quote from this timely article: "When Americans are free to act on their faith, the whole nation benefits. That’s why Congress took action last year to ensure that houses of worship ravaged by disasters can receive disaster relief and get back to serving their local communities." May the Lord prosper His people as they bring hope to those suffering in great need. Let's be a part of the good work of fellow believers reaching out to others with the love of Christ.

The promotion of transgender confusion is beyond comprehension to me. Stable adults should carefully and compassionately counsel any young man or woman wrestling with this issue as to their obvious identity as either a male or a female. Of course, a Biblical worldview rooted in the fear of the Lord is a prerequisite for the counselor if real help is to be offered. Read this article from the Daily Signal and stay informed as to what is really going on in this community of confused and hurting youth. China Has a "Chilling" System to Control Everyone Godless governments always oppress freedom. Communist China is a prime example. Chine offers its people no religious freedom and no real economic opportunity. Rather, the Chinese government seeks to control its people and compel them to toe the communist line. One very interesting reality has surfaced especially during the past 30 years. The ability to control and tract the human population is now a reality. Students of Bible prophecy know the coming reign of the man of sin will consist of a world government with the power to compel all men everywhere to participate in their "tracking" program or else forfeit all privileges to participate in the economy. Here is the interesting story on China from Fox News. One in Eight American Adults Is an Alcoholic Here is the opening paragraph of a story from the Washington Post: A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry this month finds that the rate of alcohol use disorder, or what's colloquially known as “alcoholism,” rose by a shocking 49 percent in the first decade of the 2000s. One in eight American adults, or 12.7 percent of the U.S. population, now meets diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorder, according to the study. One thing seems certain to me. Our society will never curtail the evil of alcohol. Too much money is involved. However, in light of the devastation perpetrated by strong drink you would think we would go after alcohol with at least the same fervency expressed against smoking. I trust you will do everything in your power to keep those under your influence away from the evil of strong drink. Here is the full article from the Washington Post. Family Research Council Battling Over Sex Education
Tony Perkins of the FRC is a respected conservative Christian leader in America. I support his efforts to fight the battle and hold back the ungodly agenda of so called progressives in the country. Here is an excerpt from one of his recent appeals for support: It’s time for families to stand strong together and put sex ed decisions back where they belong — in parents’ hands. Here’s why: Planned Parenthood, along with the ACLU and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which is the nation’s largest homosexual advocacy organization, want to remove any and all traditional models for healthy and normal sexual behavior from K-12 sex ed curriculums. In their view, normal sexuality as defined by Judeo-Christian morality runs counter to their hardened LGBT agenda for our children. I am writing to ask you to please help FRC shine the light on Planned Parenthood's dangerous advocacy to children by promoting an "anything and everything goes" sex ed curriculum. I am passing this along to make another point about the condition of K-12 education in the country. Sex ed in the schools is old news. I can't tell you how many times I have read articles about this reality in schools over the years. So I ask you: who is teaching your children about sex at school? What curriculum is used and what worldview is communicated? There is a very straight forward way to put sex ed back in the hands of Christian parents. Separate your child from the public school environment. Teach them at home or in a private Christian school. I am all for adults trying to hold back evil in our public schools and elsewhere. However, we have a huge problem. While we endeavor to resolve these issues children by the millions are exposed to what amounts to ungodliness. And this is just one issue among many. Again, I am not against conservative Christians fighting to hold back evil. I am one of them. But I think it is essential to also move our children out of arms way. Sadly, we are too often losing these battles (with the ungodly having their way). The result is our children are separated unto the wrong thing! What do I mean? They are set apart to the steady drumbeat of the world at school and separated from Biblical instruction! Think about this sad reality: most children from Christian homes are separated from Christianity in their K-12 school experience. But while separated from a nurturing Christian education they are increasingly separated unto the influence of an ungodly school culture. I challenge any Christian family with little ones to make it their top priority to build the education of their children on the Word of God in a Christian school culture where they are separated unto the Lord. Believe it or not, this was once the norm in America. Regardless of what the world chooses to do, it should be the norm for Christian families today. Trump Has Set Economic Growth on Fire
I am sure you hear a lot about the economy these days and it does seem a number of good things are happening. I think you will find the article on economic growth interesting. Regardless of how one feels about President Trump his leadership has the economy growing. Of course, there are some real long term debt problems our society faces and that is a problem I think every American should be concerned about. A word of caution. Do your best to avoid personal debt and stay on track toward debt free living if you are not already there. Remember if an economy goes south you only keep what you own. Also, if things are going a bit better for you build up your savings, especially if you do not already have about six months of living expenses laid back. Be wise and seek the Lord in all your personal decisions. Trump has set economic growth on fire. Here is how he did it (Follow this link for the full story) What Should Be Done About the Kavanaugh Nomination?
I suspect you have crossed paths with news about the confirmation process surrounding Supreme Court nominee Matt Kavanaugh. Here is an article from AFA that will bring you up to date on some of the particulars you should be aware of. I personally feel this nominee is an excellent choice for the Court and I hope he gets a vote up or down in the Senate soon. What Should Be Done About the Kavanaugh Nomination?

Evolutionists are always changing their "story." This is not science. Check out this article by Ken Ham for another example of how evidence in the real world demonstrates the faith of our secularist friends is not consistent with what we actually observe. Remember, BOTH sides are engaged in faith systems. The question to be asked is which faith system is in harmony with known observational science. The belief in molecules to man evolution is NOT in harmony with what we know to be true, while the Bible is in harmony with known observational science. Ultimately every man must exercise faith. I admonish you to trust in the living God and his word. It proves true and thus is worthy of all acceptation. A Dinosaur in the Wrong Place, Wrong Time?

Their Hate for us is Real and Deep (Follow this link for the full story) Dem Socialists Pushing to Infiltrate Schools Our public school system is the focus of those who desire to fundamentally change America. This is not news. Progressive education now dominates the system and has for some time. Of course there are many Christian adults attempting to serve in the system across the country. However, they are a minority and unfortunately are not able to change the underlying philosophy of education dominating the system. I certainly believe we need godly Christians who serve in the system to the best of their ability, but we have a huge problem. Our children remain at risk and are actually participating in an ungodly school culture. It is not too harsh to use the word ungodly since it is obvious our schools do not build education upon a knowledge of God and his word. Furthermore, it is obvious that the opportunity to raise a child in the Christian faith does not exist in our public system. However, many things contrary to the Word of God and for that matter traditional Americanism is finding expression in our public schools. As illustrated by this story progressives see teachers as change agents who can influence students in a particular direction. Indeed they can. In fact this is inescapable. How much better it would be if students could be influenced daily by godly teachers free to openly teach Christianity and develop young minds in the faith. One thing is for sure. Wherever your child attends school the teachers who stand before them wield a great influence upon their lives for better or for worse. I advise parents everywhere to carefully consider this matter. Do you want your children to participate in a system that muzzles teachers who are Christian and forbids them to openly influence your child with Bible Christianity, but which accommodates unbelief on so many fronts? And what about the curriculum? A child's education can be no better than the text books used as the basis of instruction. All too often today the ungodly are writing those text books. I remind you those text books must present a worldview to the student. Neutrality does not exist. So what worldview is presented to your children as they engage their textbooks? This is no small matter. Unless children are raised with godly instruction they lose exposure to the very thing necessary in the development of godly convictions. These are important things to think deeply about. Trust me, the other side certainly thinks about it and they seem determined to win the minds of our children at all costs.
