Government Schools Will Destroy Your Children

The school children of today are being constantly lied to in order to turn them against their parents. The government wants to be their parent, but for that to happen effectively the children must see the government schools as their authority and mentors.

This happened to many stay at home moms, their children were taught that their mother didn't know anything, that what mother was teaching was silly and wrong.

When the children came home and told their mother what they were learning sometimes she had to correct them, but they didn't revere or honor her teaching so they went with everyone else around them.

They believed in "self esteem" even if they said they didn't, the way they acted disrespectfully toward their mother showed her they did suck some of that false teaching into their soul without even realizing it. The children revered and respected their father because he was educated in state schools and held good jobs. Mother was just a "housewife" in their opinion even if she supported their father in all his endeavors.

To this very day many mothers are seen as a problem and foolish because she speaks of the Bible often, refuses to do what others think is good but she know goes against God's Word and does not tolerate their attitudes of disrespect.

These same children claim to be Christian but married narcissistic people who encouraged them to despise their mother, even making judgments and speaking lies that were not true of her at all.

This description of the Mothers of a generation ago is common in our day. The mother who stood for righteousness, hated sin and evil is the one who was maligned all her life for her dedication to truth.

Not only was the school system influential in this way with the children, the extended families engaged in the indoctrination to turn the children against the teachings of the mother.

Sadly we see more of this than we see of support for mothers who are attempting to teach the things of God. There is little support for those parents who want to use the Bible for their teachings. Even Christians who attend church regularly are influencing the children in worldly ways that diminish the Word of God in the eyes of the children.

Children of today are being led to believe that their parents did everything wrong and that they need to listen to the government schools for their wisdom.

It was bad enough 25 years ago but even worse now.

Paganism Cannot Be Made into Christian

Turning a pagan and hedonistic celebration into a Christ centered holiday is an oxy-moron. It is not possible to honor the Lord with wicked things. Even if the evil things are removed to pretend its about Christ, it still dishonors God.

Jeremiah 10:2-3 "2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; "

Tacking onto a pagan holiday the name of Christ is the same as accepting the entire holiday. It merely means that there is a desire in the heart to do what the heathens do while making it "appear" acceptable to God.

"Putting lipstick on a pig does not change the nature of the pig, its still a pig."

The desire of the heart to participate in heathen experiences shows a lack of dedication to Christ. God hates mixing! When we mix paganism we only have paganism. Attempting to mix paganism with Christianity is a rebellious attempt to have the paganism with the excuse that Christ was tacked on to it.

I am amazed at how many people think they NEED these pagan holidays to be happy. When we are full of Christ we need no celebration that meld us with the world.

Worldly celebrations are nothing more than "pleasure seeking." The born again believer has great joy and pleasure in the things of the Lord and a quiet content life.

1 Timothy 6:6-11
"6 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. 7 For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content."

Riotous living is not interesting to the born again believer. There is no desire to have ungodly celebrations that only distract from contentment and from God.

Halloween and other holidays do not interest the born again believer who loves the Lord's appearing.

Glory in the Testing

Rejection is a promise in the word of God. Live with it joyfully the same as you would live joyfully with a hard work out to make your muscles stronger. Our spiritual muscles are far more important than our physical muscles.

1 Timothy 4:8 "for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."

God's Blessings to Us Today!

This morning before attending worship we had the pleasure of watching this small herd of deer from our front door.  The Lord knows how much I love to see animals!!!! 

Let God be in Control not the Devil

Far too many people really don't care what God says. They want His protection and blessing but do not want Him.

Many parents understand this treatment as they have made the decision to live for Christ. While everyone around them are playing church and arrogantly attempting to impress others, these dedicated ones continue to speak truth only to be rebuffed and lied against for their efforts.

I meet many strong born again believers who do not have the love of their family because they will not capitulate to the ways of those who want to live worldly. Narcissists are not content to live as they please they demand that we accept them, even engage with them in their sin.

We live in a culture that loves its sin, but not only do they love their sin they require on penalty of exclusion and punishment that we accept and embrace their sin. If we do not we are treated with contempt.

If you are experiencing this contempt and banishment for not remaining silent in the face of bad doctrine and foolish thinking then you can count yourself as in good company.

The apostles and Jesus Christ Himself were treated shamefully because they did not say what the general populous wanted to hear.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"

Keep in mind that the lies they tell against born again believers are based not on truth but on the liars desired belief about you. These same types believe you are just like them, they lie so they say you lie. They demean and mock so they accuse you of demeaning and mocking.

The devil has been using these very same tactics from the beginning of creation. He twisted the words of God when speaking to Eve, to say something God never said. He lied against God to turn Eve against God also, this is the first encounter we see of the devil placing doubts in a human beings mind. He is still doing this in human relationships today.

If the devil can remove the support system for the born again believer by turning people against them, in his mind he can cause them to turn on God. Little does this evil personage know that born again believers cannot be turned against God.

However, their witness can be reduced if the born again believer reacts badly to ill treatment. This is also the goal of the devil. When we see this happening, that is false accusations, snarky and contemptuous responses to the truth we can ignore it, refuse to respond in anger and be on our way with a clear conscience.

Psalm 4:4-5 " 4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You. 5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.…"

1 John 5:19 "19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one."

The key to this discussion is that first we can expect the devil to throw at us the angst of others who do not love God and secondly we can avoid becoming like the narcissist by refusing to respond to the attacks.

Coming Soon, Be Watching!

Next time someone accuses you of being an escapist for looking for the rapture it might be good to tell them what God says inHis Word!

Luke 21:36 "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.:

Many will be left behind because they mock the Lords return, don't be one who is so connected to this world that you choose to believe the rapture is not imminent.
