"...all who desire to

Life was hard for the young
Christian woman in communist Laos. Despised for her uncompromising faith, she
stood alone in her village. But she loved God's Word and could always talk with
her best Friend, Jesus. One day some villagers burned her precious Bible. After
the flames died out, she pulled her blackened treasure out of the ashes. Then
God comforted her through the pages He had preserved for her.
Later, when the director of "The
Voice of the Martyrs" visited Laos, he met with her secretly. She shared her
plight and her joy:
"My villagers still
hate me and mock me like they mocked Jesus on the cross. It is the world's
right to hate us or love us. But for me, I will follow Jesus because I read
in the Bible what He says, that the world will hate you."[1]
Such hatred is real
-- even in America!
The war on Biblical Christianity
is spreading like wildfire. After a period of relief from violent rage and overt
occultism, the dark forces that flourished centuries ago are again spreading
deception in plain sight. Our children's minds are prime targets! Are they prepared
to resist it?
The foundations for
today's battles were laid by elite
western leaders long ago. Many were steeped in the occult visions of high
level freemasonry,
rosicrucianism
[5]),
theosophy, and the teachings of
Skull and Bones and
other
secret societies. Their corrupt goals have tarnished every branch of Western
society: education,
the news and
entertainment media -- even
churches.
A century ago, the
Fabian socialist
John Dewey and his legion
of "change agents" inspired an educational revolution designed to rewrite "history"
and crush our moral foundations. Working within the
National Education Association
(NEA) they replaced objective learning with the "enlightened
social engineering"
needed to fulfill their dream of
a collective "Brave New Word" with a universal anti-Christian religion. Their
words expose their plans:
"The purpose of education
and the schools is to change the thoughts, feelings and actions of students."[6]
Professor Benjamin
Bloom, "Father of Outcome-based Education"
"Our schools...are promoting
the social unity out of which in the end genuine religious unity
must grow. ...dogmatic beliefs...[are] disappearing."[7]
John Dewey,
co-author of the first
Humanist
Manifesto
"[Every child in America
entering schools at the age of five is insane because he comes to schools
with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward his parents,
toward a belief in a supernatural being..."[8]

Professor of Education and Psychiatry at Harvard.
"The Protestant Ethic will
atrophy as more and more enjoy varied leisure and guaranteed sustenance....Most
people will tend to be hedonistic."[9]

Program (B-STEP), Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare.
Those goals have now been met
in schools and communities across the country. Tuned to this new amoral world,
most youths will never know what they've lost. That was part of the plan. Though
the "guaranteed sustenance" has lost its certainty, it served its purpose. The
hedonism is here to stay. Our nation is facing the consequences of rejecting
God and trusting the blinded human puppets of our
invisible foe.
We shouldn't be surprised! Remember,
"the whole world is
under the sway of the evil one." 1 John 5:19
And what a cruel deceiver he
is! This unseen tyrant and his visible minions are sowing seeds of deception
and bondage more effectively than
ever before. In this
subversive setting,
power rules -- and the strongest are rarely compassionate.
But our God still reigns. He
may be withdrawing His abundant blessings from this land, but He never stops
caring for those who trust and follow Him! So we can confidently say to Him:
"I will fear
no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. " Psalm 23:4
The Offense of the Gospel
Last week I received an email
from a young Wiccan fan of a website for those who love horses and magic. She
felt "insulted" by a
warning
I had posted. It was written by a concerned Christian mom and included these
lines:
"...the program said they
could make their horse 'immortal.' This seemed peculiar.... I saw that
players could earn 'karma' points. This was getting more disturbing.
The software company name was 'Owlient.' I wondered why
owls would
be associated with a horse game...
"...every link was the name
of mythological gods/goddesses.
Names included Morpheus,
Fertility,
Aphrodite,
Zeus, Medusa...and
a statement that said, 'A God that grants your horses stamina and speed...'
Yes, the G was capitalized."[10]
The young Wiccan saw nothing
"evil" on that website. In contrast, I saw all kinds of occult suggestions that
could blind our children to God's warnings.
Conflicting worldviews
are still legal in America! But the
Hate Crimes Prevention
Act of 2009
has narrowed the legal boundaries for "free speech." No longer can we count
on the Constitutional rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
For example, 14-year old
Dakota Ary, an honor student at a Fort Worth high school, faced suspension
and a blot on his record when he made this supposedly "anti-gay" remark
to
his friend sitting behind him:
"I'm a Christian and, to
me, being homosexual is wrong."[11]
The teacher (who had put a picture of two men
kissing on the back wall) heard the comment and was enraged. From his perspective,
Ary had no right to express his personal moral opinion. So the family sought
help from a Christian lawyer, and the crisis was resolved. But such battles
are likely to multiply -- thus intimidating most students into silence or compliance.
Why is this happening? Because
(let me say it again) the world system is
"under the sway of the evil one"
and his captivated servants. God's eternal Truth is incompatible with
the blinding oppression of the evil one!
Take a look at the UNESCO's
Declaration
of Principles on Tolerance. It outlines today's global standard for the
tolerance that we must show those whose values clash with our Christian
faith. Our globalist
leaders decided long ago that Biblical values would be
incompatible with their envisioned pluralism:
From the UN perspective, this would be considered
international law.
[the words in brackets below
are mine]:
-
Tolerance is respect, acceptance
and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world's cultures...
It is not only a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement.
-
Tolerance... involves the
rejection of dogmatism and absolutism..."
[especially
God's unchanging moral guidelines?]
-
Tolerance... means that one's
views are not to be imposed on others." [no freedom
to share the gospel?]
-
"Intolerance... is a global
threat."
-
"Scientific studies and networking
should be undertaken to coordinate the international community's response
to this global challenge, including analysis... of root causes and effective
countermeasures, as well as research and monitoring..."
-
"Tolerance promotion and the
shaping of attitudes
of openness, mutual listening and solidarity
should take place in schools and universities, and through non-formal education...
at home and in the workplace." [Does this remind
you of Orwell's
1984?]
-
"Promote rational tolerance
teaching methods that will address the cultural, social, economic, political
and religious sources of intolerance -- major roots of violence
and exclusion."[12]
The last point seems to equate Christianity with
violence. Apparently, UNESCO's elite leaders consider Biblical Christianity
unworthy of either tolerance or protection from those who despise it.
In 1946, Dr. Brock Chisholm,
a Canadian psychiatrist,
presented a paper entitled The Psychiatry
of Enduring Peace and Social Progress at a US conference on mental health.
Soon to become the first Secretary General of the World
Health Organization (WHO), he spelled out its global agenda:
"Can we identify the reasons
why we fight wars...? Many of them are easy to list -- prejudice, isolationism,
the ability to emotionally and uncritically believe unreasonable things....The
only psychological force capable of producing these perversions is morality,
the concept of right and wrong...
"For many generations
we have bowed our necks to the yoke of the conviction of sin. We have swallowed
all manner of poisonous certainties fed us by our parents....Individuals
who have emotional disabilities...are certain to project their hates on
to others....
"There is something to be said...for
gently putting aside the mistaken old ways of our elders if that is possible.
If it cannot be done gently, it may have to be done roughly or even violently."[13]
Chisholm's report was published both in the prestigious
magazine Psychiatry and by
his
Communist friend,
Alger Hiss,
the publisher of the socialist magazine International Conciliation. Hiss,
then president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote
the Preface to Chisholm's paper.
The
Paradigm Shift: Total Transformation
Since "gradualism" has been key to
this global
transformation, we may not notice the changes. Like the proverbial frog in a
pot of water, we simply adapt to the "temperature" of the moment. By the time
the water boils, it's too late to escape. Here's a quick reminder of where we
once were:
|
|
OLD PARADIGM |
NEW PARADIGM |
|
Beliefs |
Based on Bible |
Blend of "positive thinking" &
pleasing suggestions |
|
Culture
|
Individual thinking, diligence,
trusting God and each other. |
Sensual indulgence, self-gratification,
group thinking. |
|
Values
|
Based on the
Bible (unchanging truth)
|
Based on human
wants (changeable)
|
|
Morals
|
Biblical boundaries,
submit to authority |
Sexual freedom, resent
authority |
|
Rights
|
Personal
freedom within God's boundaries |
Personal license
within wide legal range |
|
Economy
|
Free enterprise
|
Socialist collective
|
|
Government
|
By the people,
led by God's guidelines |
By
elitists
who control the media, money and masses |
Of course, many are delighted with
this degrading "progress." Freed from traditional boundaries and a God-given
conscience, they applaud the spreading war on God's unbending Word. Consider
these travesties:
Houston Cemetery Bans the Word
'God' from Military Funerals:
"The director of the Houston [Veterans
Administration]...has
ordered the burial teams to instruct that religious references, as well
as prayer, are no longer to be included as part of the burial services.
...the mention of 'God' is not allowed."[14]
Christian Photographer
Sued by Same-Sex Couple: "A Christian photographer in New Mexico was
found guilty last week of breaking state law for refusing to take pictures
of a lesbian ceremony.... [The] couple filed a complaint for discrimination
against their sexual orientation. ...the state commission ruled that
Huguenin [the faithful Christian] violated the state's Human Rights Act."[15]
Banished!
City forbids Bible studies in homes: "[Gilbert,
Arizona] had ordered a group of seven adults to stop gathering for Bible
studies in a private home because such meetings are forbidden by the city's
zoning codes...'"[16] Christian lawyers
helped reverse that unconstitutional law
