Put Not Your Trust In Princes

7 Revealing Traits of an Honest Person

We Can Count on God!

When we hand off the teaching of our children to others, while the others spend more time with our children than we do in a given day, we create a mentality in the students that the parents are not smart enough to teach them. Their authority figure becomes the teacher who spends the most time with them. Reducing the respect for parents gives the teachers an advantage in influence.
I had first-hand experience with this! Our children attended a private school for three years and then moved to a public school. I homeschooled some because they were adopted and behind in their studies, so I wanted to have intense teaching to catch them up to where they should be.
This was at a time when homeschooling was just beginning to be legal. I was treated by teachers with contempt because they were insulted that I was going to teach my own children. They lied to me saying it wasn't legal. When I showed them the papers that it was legal they backed off but remained insolent. I did not find one teacher at that time who was supportive of my desire to home school my children.
There was a superior attitude with some teachers that parents are not smart enough to teach their own children because they didn't have that college degree. I have been to university believe me when I say a good teacher does not need college to be able to teach their own children. We have been through all 12 years of school we can teach our children what we know and study ourselves those things we do not yet know. After all, this is what college-educated teachers do anyway.
Back in the day, teachers only needed one year of college to be able to teach elementary school and two to teach high school. Now they want teachers to have five years of college, giving them time to indoctrinate the teachers in liberal philosophies as well as psychology for manipulating the students in social training. It's no longer about the three "R's" in school it is about social engineering. The attempt to make the children think the way the teacher wants them to think, that is liberally and without much thought.
In short, the government schools have been working for two generations to indoctrinate the children away from God and toward secularism. They have also been training the minds of children to think globally and in terms of socialism.
When I was in elementary school, that is grades 1-8, we were given the name of a child in the Philippines to be our pen pal. This was alright and even fun, but it was an attempt to get us to think in terms of the world as a one-world system where everyone was working together for the world. Sounds good on superficial inspection but digging deeper we see what they were doing.
This was masterfully manipulated, the child from the other country was chosen with a birthdate close to our own as well as similar interests. It was quite fun, we exchanged pictures and letters over the years. It wasn't until later I realized what was happening, the indoctrination that the world should be one world without borders.
So you see, we are where we are today in our country and the world because of the incremental steps made over the last few generations that led to the culture's acceptance of the one world government. Nothing this big happens over night. It has been in the devil's mind for centuries. If he can deter the children from listening to their parents, those children will raise their own children in liberal ways and each generation will be worse than the last. They will even think they are doing the right things without realizing what they are doing.
It is only in Christ that we can see the truth and most people today do not see it. Sadly most Christians (pretenders) today do not see what has been happening, they do the easy thing to be able to preserve their desired lifestyle. When something does not promote their lifestyle, such as Biblical truth, they reject it or twist it to fit what they want.
Here we are today in the end of "the end of days". It is shocking for those with discerning eyes but not discouraging because God told us it would be this way, now we see how it happened.
We are watching in our time things that Bible scholars from 200 years ago could not explain. They could not see how the whole world would hate Israel because Israel wasn't even back in the land yet, but they believed it because God said it. Now we, in our generation see exactly what God meant, we are watching it.
Israel was given back its land because of the holocaust, they dwell there now. The world is growing more staunch against Israel and soon the world will come against her but God will defend her in a miraculous way, causing the remaining Jews after great destruction, to trust in Christ, even bringing the gospel to the rest of the world before the final wrath of God on the rest of the world.
Do not be dismayed, depressed or wringing your hands at this time in history. Your family will hate you, the culture will hate and avoid you but you are safe in God's hands. He loves you even if no one else does. He also has a great reward for those who love Him.
God has been working all along, He protects His people and He will protest us through whatever is going on now.
Isaiah 54:17 God's Promise to Israel
"No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”
God's Promise to Israel and to all His children.
Psalm 91:1-16
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, ..."
Hallelujah!!!

The New World Order Continues to Gain Momentum

Everything we see happening now is for the purpose of furthering the new world order. I say "furthering" because it has been in the works for two generations.
Before I was born in the 1930s the government introduced the teaching of "evolution" into the public school system. From then until about the 1970's it was considered a crime for parents to homeschool their children. In fact, some parents were arrested if their children didn't attend either government schools or a private school.
Most people could not afford the expensive private schools so they had to attend government schools.
When I was in school in the 1950s and 60's we were taught sex education, books written about history that were not accurate and evolution as a "theory" but the other view of creation was not taught. Therefore the assumption was that evolution must be the truth because it is all that was taught.
The Christians thought these teachings were wrong but minor enough to ignore them. Sadly many of their children were turned away from Christ by these teachings. After all, if the authorities in their lives, that being the teachers, were teaching evolution it must be true. When we hand off the teaching of our children to others, while the others spend more time with our children than we do in a given day, we create a mentality in the students that the parents are not smart enough to teach them. Their authority figure becomes the teacher who spends the most time with them.
The lies taught to the children were fewer in my days in school and subtle so that most parents were not paying much attention to what their children were learning as long as they got the three "R's", (reading, writing and arithmetic). Nothing else mattered as long as they were able to read, write, and do math.
The parents let a lot slide past them because they were more concerned about the children being financially successful in life than whether or not they honored and loved God.
There were still some elements of Christianity in the public schools but so few that they were hardly distinguishable. I had a teacher who was Mormon and another teacher who was Catholic. You might say they didn't talk about their "religion" so it was alright. But then you have to ask the question, "How did I find out their religion" if they never talked about it. I never knew who the Christian teachers were in our school but I knew about the others.
So you see, it is not a great leap to say that this mess of the one world order has been around for many years only taking flight in our generation because the time is right to take another leap toward total governmental control.
This pandemic ought to be viewed as the next cog in the wheel, perhaps the last cog.
Luke 21:27-28 "…27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads because your redemption is drawing near. "

Worry Denies God

We are all tempted to be worried at times when things don't go our way, but that is the same as saying "God is not in charge."

The Lies are Flying but the Truth is Available to All Who want it!

There are many lies flying around. This generation has been taught to think more highly of themselves than is warranted raised on self-esteem. They live in a fantasy world of make-believe. Whatever they want to believe is alright, but if anyone comes along and uses the Bible to correct something they become enraged. Our culture is sold out to good feelings rather than truth.
Luke 11:29,30
"And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign, and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet…"
When this generation does not have a sign to make them feel special and say what they like, they make one up.
When we walk with Christ we are not concerned about how we feel as much as we are about what God thinks. We have an intense desire to know His heart. When we know His heart we will see the truth. When we see the truth we have the solutions in His Word to discern the correct actions and attitudes.
May this be our goal, to seek Christ at every turn in the road. We do not have to walk blindly, we can know what to do and where to go.
