Albert Einstein said, “God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God.”

Many Christians are complaining about the complete disregard for morality and righteousness in our world today, and rightfully so. However, the rise in man’s sinfulness is not due to the increasing presence of darkness, but the decrease in the presence of light. A Person is following after God in the pursuit of righteousness, or they are following after Satan in the pursuit of unrighteousness, for there is no amoral middle, and the sooner today’s generation of Christians understand that, the more powerful we will be in making a difference in our culture. 

While the false prophets are predicting a great revival of souls in the future, the Bible says the church-age will end in apostasy – a turning away from the Lord, not a return to Him.

The fact is God is already judging America by removing the idols of fame, fortune, friends, family, sports, and all the other things we have put before Him. God is doing this to show us our hope is not in any man, but in Him alone, and to urge us to lift our eyes from this world that will soon pass away, and to focus upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who will soon come and take us away.

Warning! We now live in a culture that is hostile against a biblical worldview because it is in total conflict with the accepted way of life, even among many who claim to be Christians. However, if we are to prepare our children and grandchildren to live for Christ in a “post-Christian” society, the most important thing we can give to them is a biblical worldview, beginning with a biblical concept of God.
Yes, they will need a good Bible to read and study, but WE are the God-book they are reading every day, and WE are revealing our concept of God to them in the life choices and decisions we make each day. Therefore, who we are before them must be the same as who we are before God, or we are nothing but hypocrites?

· God designed the family to be the foundational institution of human society.
· God’s design for the family was to include a husband and a wife and children either born into or adopted by that family.
· God’s desire was for the earthly family to represent His eternal family. To rebel against God’s divine order is to rebel against His divine authority, which is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
· According to Romans 1:18-32, and Matthew 12:31, to rebel against God’s divine order is to rebel against His divine authority, which is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, and such rebellion is the evidence that God has turned them over to a reprobate mind, from which there is no return.

The Shorter Catechism reminds us that the true end of man is “to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” God made man for a purpose, and that purpose is to worship Him. God also declared one day out of seven to be set aside as a reminder of our purpose. In other words, the Sabbath was a sign between God and man.

The picture of the prodigal son running into the arms of his father should bring tears to our eyes, for that is the perfect picture of our salvation. We were reconciled to God, our Heavenly Father, by our expressed faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. The gospel message is cheapened with a lesser purpose – i.e., “believe in Jesus Christ, and you will go to heaven when you die!”

The difference between “can’t” and “won’t” is a matter of one’s will. The evidence for the existence of God is before the eyes of every person on earth.

The truth about creation is foundational to a biblical worldview as it substantiates the existence of a deity known as God! In other words, the knowledge of the existence of God is before the eyes of every person on earth, for He has revealed Himself in what He created, and how He created it. It is understandable by every person, regardless of their language or intellect, therefore no one can stand before God and plead ignorance.

Beloved, we must not stop teaching the Book of Genesis because it differs with the secular theories of the origin of the universe and mankind. We must be prepared to give our children “faith-based” answers to their questions, for without a solid understanding of the “Who” of creation, they will not understand the “why” of our salvation!

According to the most recent survey, only 6% of Americans have a biblical worldview. Stated another way, 94% of those who live in the most God-blessed nation on earth do not view “life” through the lens of Holy Scripture. In effect, they are secularists, and while that might include some form of worship of some kind of god, it is certainly not the true worship of the God of the Bible.

If we are to see a genuine revival, it must begin in the home, and with a return to God’s blueprint for marriage.
