Education? Censoring the ex-homosexual message: "Public Schools Superintendent Joshua Starr called it 'reprehensible,' 'deplorable' and 'disgusting.' What could trigger such a response? Child sexual abuse by a teacher? Drug dealing in the high schools? A drunk driving accident that killed students? "No - it was a one-page flier distributed to students in several Montgomery County, Md., high schools.... The flier included disgusting declarations such as, 'All individuals deserve the right to self-determination and happiness' and such 'reprehensible' advice as '[I]mportant decisions should not be made on feelings alone.' "The controversy arose not because of its relatively innocuous content, but because of its source: an organization called Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays.... The flier states, 'Every year, thousands of people with unwanted same-sex attractions make the personal decision to leave a gay identity,' and asserts that such people should be able to 'seek help and information on overcoming their feelings.'"
Of course, such an old-fashioned notion clashes with today pro-gay education system. The new global values are incompatible with the slightest reminder of Christian beliefs." See Ban truth - Reap tyrannyInternet. Site asks social networkers to rethink revelations : "As more people reveal their whereabouts on social networks, a new site has sprung up to remind students and others that letting everyone know where you are — and, by extension, where you’re not — could leave you vulnerable to those with less-than-friendly intentions. ...technology has become so easy to use that people are sharing too much online without even realizing it."
Edu-tainment. What's So Good About Evil? A review of the popular Hunger Games: [Here's an Amazon review: "It took me a while to get to this book because I never saw it out of my two daughters' hands. They devoured it!"] "Why were the readers so enthralled? What kinds of values did they find so captivating? Why do they "feel good" about a futuristic culture that turns mass murder into entertaining games? Let me guess: The captivating killing fields? The strong, self-confident heroine? The sensual, shimmering, fiery costumes in the opening ceremony? The mandatory romance that titillated Panem's nation-wide audience? The reincarnated Tributes whose dead bodies revive and return as snarling wolf-like predators?
"All these themes and fantasies fit our times. They stir curiosities that can't easily be quenched. They spread corrupt values that guide future behavior and preferences. They dull our children's desire for God's truth and ways." See Human NatureThe Media. The morality of normality: "...we have long known... that the idea of the 'normal' confers social sanction and, indeed, social approval. 'Everybody’s sin is nobody’s sin,' was Dr. Kinsey’s watchword in counting up all the different kinds of sexual behavior, hitherto considered sinful.... Anything that was normal had, on this view, to be OK just because it was normal... "The cult of normality is the religion of the left, and it lies behind not just the liberal commitment to 'gay rights'—which can be summed up in the idea of a right to be normal—but in everything that modern liberals do. Historically, the worship of normality has its origins in thedestruction of the old honor culture that, in one way of looking at it, worshiped the not-normal [such as faith and obedience to the Biblical God]. Once the general honor culture had been pushed aside... the way was open for the redefinition of those 'rights' that had originally been established on this continent by English gentlemen [our founders], pledging their sacred honor to their preservation..."

Cruelty, 65-year-old California 'milk man' subjected to extreme torture, hypothermia, raw sewage in LA County jail: "James Stewart, a raw milk farmer with no criminal history, was nearly tortured to death in the LA County jail this past week. He survived a 'week of torturous hell' at the hands of LA County jail keepers who subjected him to starvation, sleep deprivation, hypothermia, loss of blood circulation to extremities, verbal intimidation, involuntary medical testing and even subjected him to over 30 hours of raw biological sewage filth containing dangerous pathogens.... "..the only 'crime' James has ever committed is being the milk man and distributing milk that is openly and honestly kept fresh and raw instead of pasteurized. ...This true story of jaw-dropping dehumanization and torture -- conducted in total violation of state law as well as the Geneva Convention for prisoners of war." Is this America?Culture. The Cross of Christ: Feared, banned, trivialized...yet Triumphant: "Neil Postman, the author of Amusing Ourselves to Death, understood these socialist strategies. He also saw the power of a cooperative media to dull old convictions and kindle new cravings. To illustrate today's manipulation...he drew an interesting contrast between two familiar totalitarian visions: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell's 1984: 'Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies.... In 1984... people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared thatwhat we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.' The spiritual war against Christ and the cross is being waged on both fronts..." See Conforming to the culture, not to truth
Transformation. The Third Wave of Homeschool Persecution: "A Third Wave of argument thatseeks to curtail or crush the homeschooling movement—specifically, the Christian homeschooling movement—is coming....The first wave of attack on homeschooling was based on the argument that homeschooling simply could not deliver a proper program of academic instruction. This assertion has been decisively proven false.... "The second wave of attack was based on the all-too-familiar whine, 'What about socialization?'... [The fact is that] homeschoolers get along well with others—even those who radically differ from them.
"But there is a third wave coming....Christian homeschooling parents are effectively transmitting values to their children that the elitists believe are dangerous to the well-being of both these very children and society as a whole. What are those values? Homosexuality is a sin....Jesus is the only way to God...." See Compromise. : "Recently, Bethel University, a Converge Worldwide school, promoted an Interreligious Symposium on November 3 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The three main speakers included Buddhist monk Witiyala Seewalie, Buddhist layman Ted Meissner, and Paul Reasoner, a Bethel professor who studied the 'Christian Zen' movement.... "Jan Markell, President of Olive Tree Ministries and a Bethel graduate, stated, 'I wasn't prepared for what I was about to hear. The Interreligious Symposium was promoting some kind of 'common ground' between Buddhism and Christianity. A panel concluded there was a 'common ground' when it came to 'meditation.' ...According to the Lighthouse Trails Research Project's website, spiritual formation 'is a movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which Contemplative Prayer is entering the church." Coup D’etat: Pentagon & Obama Declare Congress Ceremonial: "Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s testimony asserting that theUnited Nations and NATO have supreme authority over the actions of the United States military, words which effectively declare Congress a ceremonial relic, have promptedCongressman Walter Jones to introduce a resolution that re-affirms such behavior as an'impeachable high crime and misdemeanor' under the Constitution." See Walter Jones' message to Congress and Rapid Reaction against UN Foes Managing Global Change. The Islamist-Environmentalist Alliance (2011): "Saudi Arabia has no better friend than the Sierra Club, and the Emirates have no better salesmen than the environmentalists.... The administration’s sabotage of the Keystone XL project through delays aimed at killing the pipeline is a cynical act of cowardice, and it’s a shot in the arm to the very regimes that it claims to oppose...."See below.
We have a choice each day. We can go our own foolish way or follow our sovereign God! If we choose the latter, He will surely use everything that happens to strengthen our faith and draw us closer to Himself.An Old Testament king gave us a wonderful model prayer. When enemy forces threatened to attack God's people, Jehoshaphat simply turned His eyes and heart to His faithful Lord and expressed his faith: |
