WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR OUR CHILDREN, AND WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT?

Dear mothers, we are the watchdogs of our families. We are the preserver of life, and we have the responsibility to influence the nation for the sake of our children and coming generations.

 
This nation is progressing further and further, day by day, into the pit of deception and destruction. Our schools are now training grounds for extreme socialism. Even five and six year have textbooks to steer them towards gender change.
 
Did you know that prominent Democrat leaders have presented a 28-page document to the Biden White House urging him to use “executive action” to execute the following:
1. Crack down on churches and ministries,
2. Remove Christians from public office,
3. Deny free speech and religious liberty to Christians,
4. Remove IN GOD WE TRUST from US currency,
5. Fully fund “comprehensive” sex education to include encouraging children, even five and six-year-olds, to undergo gender transition.
 
We cannot keep our heads in the sand and carry on as usual. We must answer the question in Psalm 11:3: “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
 
Here are some things I believe we should do. Please comment if you think of others:
 
1. STRENGTHEN OUR FAMILIES
 
I believe the greatest way we strengthen the nation is to strengthen our families. Strong, godly families make a strong nation.
 
2. HOMESCHOOL OUR CHILDREN
 
I believe that we should seek to do this if at all possible. Schools are no longer what we thought them to be. They plan to brainwash our children into communism and alternative lifestyles. We must consistently and diligently teach our children a biblical world view which they will be taught in the public school. They will instead be brainwashed with a humanist world view.
 
A biblical world view is not only about salvation. It is what God thinks about every subject in the universe. We as mothers must be searchers of God’s Word to know His mind and His heart on all areas of life and penetrate His word into our children’s minds, hearts, and mouths. We cannot do this unless we are in the home constantly teaching them (Deuteronomy 6:6-8).
 
We must also teach them the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Our first Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Jay said these words: “Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country and teach the rising generation to be free. By knowing their rights, they will sooner perceive when they are violated, and be the better prepare to defend and assert them.”
 
3. STAND UP FOR TRUTH
 
The rank and file are continually fed a diet of deception from the media, the education system, and society in general. We are now a humanist society. But in the midst of this deception we must stand up for truth. We must never compromise. We must not keep quiet. When a member of our family or a friend says something that is not truth, don’t let it go. Ask questions to see why they are making that statement. Talk about it. Drop seeds of truth.
 
Of course, we can’t do this if we don’t know the truth. We must search for truth, to get to know the truth, and then speak and defend the truth. Jesus said: “To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should BEAR WITNESS UNTO THE TRUTH.” (John 18:37).
 
4. NEVER COMPROMISE
 
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (author of many books including “The Gulag Archipelago” stated: “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. ONE WORD OF TRUTH OUTWEIGHTS THE WORLD.”
 
What people are on the top of the list who will “have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone”? It is the “cowards.”
 
5. ABOVE ALL, PRAY!
 
This is my final point, but it should really be the first point. There is nothing more powerful than prayer. This is why the devil seeks to keep us from the place of prayer. He gets us distracted by our busy lives, so we don’t make time to gather our families, morning and evening, to pray together. Just imagine if every God-fearing family began to pray together each day for this nation. God has promised to heal our land if we will humble ourselves and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14).
 
I am challenged by Jeremiah 10:25: “Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and UPON THE FMAILIES that call not on thy name.” Wow. This Scripture says that if we are not a family who calls upon the name of the Lord, we might as well be a heathen family.
 
J. R. Miller states “Christ must be our guest if our home is to be a fit place either for our children or for ourselves. If there is no sincere prayer in it, it is not a true home at all. It is only a heathen lodging-place!”
 
Dear mothers, we have the opportunity, as we minister to our families, to build a godly nation again.
 
Be blessed,
