Exclamation Are you ready to be targeted?

Popular culture is reaching for the hearts & minds of children to turn them away from God so they will grow to HATE Christians.

Are you ready?

I was secretly happy to hear that The Golden Compass is bombing in the theaters. The mistake the producers and the writer made was they were too "preachy" about their anti-religious theme. People don't go to movies to be preached at, even if the preaching is against preachers.

It has done incredible damage to our culture, and our homes, and most of all, the spirits of our children. And there is only one place that they can get the remedy, in their home. Parents have abdicated their responsibilties because of time constraints and guilt, (among other reasons) and our children are paying the price.

The counter-cultural revolution of the 60s is still making their moves right out of Marx's playbook. The "long march through the institutions" is well underway in our government-run schools. The assault on the traditional family is relentless, and from all sides.

I saw a billboard the other day that said that only 4 out of 5 adults could read this billboard.

I said to my wife, if that's really true, than that statistic ALONE is cause to dissolve and de-fund all government schools and the federal DOE. America's literacy rate was better than that before the advent of modern public school systems.

Sadly, personal responsibility isn't likely to make a comeback.

Public Schools are not the problem, society throwing out our Moral underpinnings is.

Sadly, both in the States & Canada, we have Governments that reflect society as a whole!

I believe that those Governments are corrupt on many levels-just reflects society as a whole!

Lord help us!
