The dramatic rise in what can only be explained as Satanic activity should awaken us to the reality that we live in what the Bible describes as the last days of this age. Likewise, the destructive nature of current global events should remind us of what the Apostle John said would happen on earth during the seven-year tribulation. In other words, the increasing darkness of our days is just a precursor to what is soon to come.

I’ve never seen so many prophetic signs coming to pass at the same time as I have in the last 12-months. However, most Christians aren’t aware of them, or have any interest in them. The world is fundamentally changing, and while many Christians are aware of it politically, culturally, and morally, they seem to be in denial that it is all happening prophetically, just as the Bible says it would be in the last days of this age.

Contrary to what many preachers are saying today, the Christian life is not a playground, it is a battleground. We are at war with the most powerful enemy the world has ever known. Even though Satan is already defeated, he is still able to wound us with his deadly darts of disappointment, discouragement, despair, depression, defeat, and death. This is the battle of the ages.

To live with a biblical worldview is to know that God is sovereign over all, in all, and through all, and to remain steadfast in our faith in the midst of adversity. Jesus said the world would be in a chaotic mess just before the rapture of the Church, so why are we surprised that it is?

In the epistle of Jude, believers are given this warning: “Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain!” The way of Cain describes any religious system that attempts to earn God’s favor by works and rituals rather than one’s reliance upon God’s grace.

The Marxists philosophy of education says: “Give me your children for four years, and the seeds I plant will never be uprooted.” (Lenin) 

Sadly, that is the philosophy of education to which our children are being exposed today. Part of President Obama’s plan to fundamentally transform America was to indoctrinate our children into a worldview that is totally contrary to the biblical principles upon which America was founded. He has succeeded. 

The Origin of Evil

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.
