WHO IS EDUCATING OUR YOUTH?
What are we doing to preserve the lives, liberty, and prosperity of our next generation of Americans?
As Christians, and Americans, we have certain mandates. There are certain things that are required duties applicable to every Christian American adult. The Bible clearly shows us that the rearing, and mentoring of the next generation is our duty. Preservation of our Constitutional republic falls among the objectives of that duty, but is only one of the features of it. Other duties include instruction, and modeling of spiritual knowledge, and a love for our God, and our neighbors.
If we allow our progeny to reach adulthood with little understanding about our God, our Lord Jesus, or the Bible in general, we have failed. Likewise, the virtue of our nation will not preserve itself. If we perform the functions of civic duty without explaining to our youth what we are doing, and why, we will not have faithfully fulfilled our calling to mentor the next generation.
Added to this is the fact that malicious actors have infiltrated our education systems, from pre-kindergarten to the university level, almost without notice, and subverted them for the purposes of atheist tyrants.
For the last few years I have been sharing the thoughts of my meditations with anyone who will listen, first through Facebook, and more recently, via this SubStack newsletter. I have also presented a small group class, Biblical Citizenship, through, and with my church congregation, and have helped another local church to do the same. I have also been somewhat active in efforts to call for a Convention of States, for the purpose of amending the US Constitution.
There are several important reforms, (if not many,) that should be made by our Congress, but due to their power limiting nature, are not likely to EVER be addressed by our federal elected officials. In the final hours of the Constitutional Convention it was raised that if our Congress were to go rogue, there would be no vehicle to correct it. Therefore, a second mechanism was written into Article V, (the amendment article,) to allow for the legislatures of the several states to implement such amendments. This would be known as a, “convention of states.”
My great regret is that through my efforts toward education, inspiration, and activism, youthful Americans have rarely chosen to participate. In fact, my efforts through the use of Facebook were often met with harsh criticism from many younger Americans.
All Americans, Christian, and otherwise, are entitled to their opinions and beliefs. But have they really been given the resources needed to make wise choices, or have they been left defenseless among God-hating wolves, to be indoctrinated into atheist marxism by our reluctance to properly supervise their education?
I firmly believe that our pulpits need to have a greater impact on the civic duties of each American, and I believe that Christian parents need to have a greater impact on the education, and civic responsibilities of their children. I firmly believe that the USA has an urgent, and strategic need of a “Convention of States.” But most of all, I believe that we American adults need to impress these urgent needs on our American youth.
I recently attended a COS, (Convention of States,) meeting. I don’t believe that there were many attendee less than forty years old. Do these adults not have any children? Do they, (and I’m including myself,) not know anyone less than forty?
The attendance of the “Biblical Citizenship” class that Judi and I hosted was almost entirely “senior citizens.”
I am thankful for these concerned American activists, but we are not long for this earth. We will all be joining our Lord in the next few years, or at least decades. Who will inherit what we leave behind? Who will be left with the crippling debt, and the enormous restrictions on life, liberty, and prosperity that will fall in the wake of our civic behavior?
I am heartbroken to realize that the most vulnerable Americans to the destruction of America, and American principals are these young Americans who have not been trained, and inspired to care about the future, for themselves, their nation, or their offspring.
My prayer is that younger Americans can be inspired to participate in evangelism for the Gospel, and the restoration for our nation. Please join me in prayer that God will lead us in reaching these youthful Americans to reform their attitudes toward these grave concerns?
God bless you, Dave
I got this excellent response to my morning’s post. It is so fantastic that I must share it with you all, (also known in the south as, ya’ll.)
ENJOY!
“Good morning, Dave!
You have a typo in the 5th paragraph about so many reps going “rouge.” Too many young men in our nation have indeed become feminized and wearers of rouge. They are more concerned about gay rights, gender identities, finding safe places where their feelings won’t get hurt and climate change than about freedom and liberty.
If we were to go to war with Russia, China, North Korea & Iran, how many American males will rise up and take a weapon? How many American patriots who love the flag will stand and fight! How many John Wayne types are still around?
Biden has declared that MAGA supporters are the most vile, radical extremists in our country. He favors abortion supporters to protest in front of the private residences of the SCOTUS. He wants a Disinformation Board to attack and malign Christians and conservatives. Dems think it is alright to protest Catholic Churches on Mothers Day. They support protecting women’s bodies but give no thought to the life of the unborn.
I sometimes wonder why God does not appear in all His glory in Washington DC to ask “What are you people doing to yourselves and to the country I love and have given to you?”
Leftists worship young men and women who choose to be gay. They fall in love with trans gender people and they want to indoctrinate children beginning in kindergarten.
What are we to do about the flood of people coming across the southern border? Is anyone in Washington DC really alarmed about this danger to the republic?
As long as the young American men can afford to buy their rouge, will they be concerned about inflation?
Oh dear, so many American men have suffered so much hatred from these mean Christians and MAGA animals! “Sweetie, I need a Valium!” they cry to their boyfriend.
How many young will support a constitutional convention? How many support secession? I doubt many young people even know about our Constitution.
I fear that our nation has fallen off the cliff and perhaps it is too late to save her.
However, Jesus Christ is on His throne and He determines when our nation falls.
Dave, bless you for all your effort to teach Americans about the Constitution and the need to repent and turn to God. Without God, we cannot govern, even with our excellent Constitution.
Please do not share this silly email with others. I do not want a crowd of pro chose radicals and BLM to protest in front of my house.”
