James Dobson states in the book, Children at Risk:  “A great Civil War of Values rages today…Two sides with vastly differing and incompatible worldviews are locked in a bitter conflict that permeates every level of society…the struggle now is for the hearts and minds…the war is not fought with bombs and bullets, but with ideas.” 

 

The struggle is for the hearts and minds of our children. The enemy's weapon is the public (government) school system which has lowered academic standards, indoctrinated generations of children to believe in multiculturalism, socialism, sexual promiscuity, evolution, relativism, feminism, teach that God is irrelevant and that the religion of Secular Humanism holds the best hope for mankind.  Homosexual organizations are indoctrinating children as young as 5 in many public schools into accepting homosexuality as a normal alternative lifestyle, and 3,500 schools have homosexual clubs.  Government schools have become much worse than they were in 1983 when the National Commission on Excellence in Education issued their study that said, “If a foreign power were responsible for the state of education in America we would have considered it an act of war.”

 

Secular educations' intent is to sever our nation from it's Christian moorings by instilling a secular non-Christian worldview in children so that when they become adults serving in the courts, the government, the news media, the entertainment industry and even in our churches they will retain a secular worldview.  This indoctrination has proven so successful that Christian researcher, George Barna reports that presently only 5% of adult Christians have a Biblical worldview!

 

Studies show that by the time children reach the age of 13 they have developed the worldview and the relationship with Christ they will probably maintain throughout their lives.  The Council on Family Life reports that 88% of the 50 million children who attend government schools leave the church, and most never return.  This equates to 9,000 children⁄day 365 days⁄yr whose souls are being destroyed.  (Over 2X the number of children being destroyed in the womb!)  Whereas in homeschools over 90% of home schooled children accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.  We must educate and disciple our children before their hearts are hardened, but 2 hours in church does not make up for 35 hours⁄week in a government school.  Secular humanism has no place in the heart and mind of a Christian, yet this is exactly what schools teach.   Children are our most precious possession.  Christians need to provide a Christian education for children either by homeschooling or enrolling them in a truly Christian school.  

 

America is no longer a Christian nation because we have been treating symptoms rather than the cause of the problems - the secular public schools. Most Christians are totally unaware of the toxic effects schools have upon children. They continue to spend time, energy and money in the hopeless task of working to improve them or give excuses why we should continue to sacrifice our children.   (Any reason is a good one if you don't want to do something.)  We must face the fact that schools are devastating our children spiritually, morally and academically by a godless ideology indoctrinating them on a daily basis.  Schools have become training camps for secularists, killing fields for our children, and a cancer eating at the soul of America.

 

Martin Luther stated, “There is nothing which will more surely earn Hell for a man than the improper training of his children; and parents can perform no more damaging bit of work than to neglect their offspring…it is highly necessary that every person regard the soul of his child with greater concern than the flesh which has come from him; that he consider the child nothing less than a precious, eternal treasure, entrusted to his protection by God so that the devil, the world and the flesh do not steal and destroy it. For the care of the child will be required from the parent on Judgment Day in a very strict reckoning.” 

  

Three times God tells us in the N.T.,“…fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to

 

In Deut 6:4-9 God COMMANDS parents to raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.  We deliberately disobey God's commandments when we send our children to anti-Christian government schools.   If we are not striving to obey what we know God commands we must ask ourselves, why are we continuing to profess it to others if we don't follow it ?

 

If we continue to do what we've been doing and not address this issue, within 12 years the church will resemble churches in Europe where most churches are closed and Christianity has become irrelevant.  Does it make sense to expend all our time, energy and money on lesser things and ignore the most important issue - our children's souls?

 

Dr. Bruce Shortt asks, “If you have placed your children, God's gift to you, under the authority of pagans and the godless during their most vulnerable and impressionable years, do you truly expect to be told at the end of your race, “Well done, good and faithful servant?”

 

God tells us three times in the N.T.“…fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”  Mt 10:28   Mark 9:42   Luke17:2

Since we share common values and concern for children, I thought you might want to have some information that is not common knowledge.  Everyday we're losing approximately 3,500 preborn children.  This is terrible and Christians like you are trying to stop it, but few Christians are doing anything to protect school age children and that is the main reason we've not been more successful ending abortion.  Keep on doing what you're doing, but please consider giving a portion of your time to save the nearly 50 million school age children whose lives and souls are being devastated at the rate of 9,000 every day!  Doing this would be the most effective way to save the preborn.  Let me explain.

 

James Dobson says,  “A great Civil War of Values rages today…Two sides with vastly differing and incompatible worldviews are locked in a bitter conflict that permeates every level of society…the struggle now is for the hearts and minds of our children.”

 

The enemy's weapon is the public (government) schools which have lowered academic standards, indoctrinated generations of children to believe in evolution, relativism, feminism, multiculturalism, socialism, sexual promiscuity, teach that God is irrelevant and that the religion of Secular Humanism holds the best hope for mankind.  Homosexual organizations are indoctrinating children as young as 5 in many public schools into accepting homosexuality as a normal alternative lifestyle, and 3,800 schools have homosexual clubs.  Government schools have become much worse than they were in 1983 when the National Commission on Excellence in Education issued their study that said, “If a foreign power were responsible for the state of education in America we would have considered it an act of war.”

 

Secular educations' intent is to sever our nation from it's Christian moorings by instilling a secular humanist worldview in children so that when they become adults serving in the courts, the government, the news media, the entertainment industry and even in our churches they will promote abortion and other anti-Christian issues. This indoctrination has proven so successful that Christian researcher, George Barna reports that presently only 5% of adult Christians and 51% of pastors have a Biblical worldview.  If our legislators and judges had a biblical worldview we wouldn't have the problems we have.  Future legislators and judges will continue to support abortion if they are educated in the public schools.

 

Studies show that by the time children reach the age of 13 they have developed the worldview and the relationship with Christ they will probably maintain throughout their lives.  The Council on Family Life reports that 88% of the 50 million children who attend government schools leave the church, and most never return.  Is this what you want to happen to your children or grandchildren?  In contrast to this more than 90% of home schooled children accept Christ as their Lord and Savior and stay active in the church.  Christians need to provide a Christian education for children either by homeschooling or enrolling them in a truly Christian school.

If we continue to do what we've been doing and not address this issue, we will never be successful in stopping abortion and the church will become increasingly irrelevant.  For additional information call  352-216-1703 or rd@wb4me.com.
