While They're Young

On April 22, 2019, the Muslim American Society Islamic Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania posted a video on their Facebook page of children dancing to the words, "Glorious steeds call us and lead us [to] the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The blood of martyrs protects us… Take us, oh ships… until we reach our shores and crush the treacherous ones… Flow, oh rivers of martyrs!" There was also a poem read by a young girl where it spoke of cutting off the heads of infidels. It is a sad sight indeed to see many young children being taught to harbor hate towards others and to have a willingness to kill those who oppose Islamic rule in Jerusalem.

In 2017, news spread of “drag time story hours” happening across the country due to a widely posted image of a man dressed in women's attire, makeup, and demonic horns reading to children in the Michelle Obama Library located in Long Beach, CA. Not surprisingly, the church of satan responded to this scene by tweeting, “Hail satan!” Several of those, who have been enlisted to lead a drag time story hour, are known sex offenders. In the name of tolerance and inclusiveness, children across the country are being taught to not only accept immoral lifestyles, but also praise those who live it.
Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven,” and in verses 5-6 He declared, “...whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Children are precious to God. Christ revealed that only faith like a child will see past this world's darkness and catch a glimpse of heavenly horizons. A child's curious innocence, genuineness, and imagination is something to be admired.
Yet, we are witnessing a society that so easily exploits children for political or nefarious means. Some seek to distort their development by thrusting upon them, at a young age, sociological agendas and immoral content. The devil knows that the corruption of today's children will eventually produce a reprobate society that is wholly given over to His will (2 Corinthians 4)! While the American church bickers over denominational differences and personal preferences, our children are being led astray! Where is the discipleship? Where is the steadfastness to teach this generation of the power and love of God? We must pour forth the gospel message to today's youth and declare as the psalmist Asaph, “We will not hide them from our children. We will tell the next generation about the LORD'S power and great deeds and the miraculous things he has done” (Psalms 78:4 / GWT).

Madam Darkshade continued

My most despicable Marah, The abyss of my heart has grown beyond measure! Everything your sister has told me about your efforts - how undeniably successful they are - is just another reminder as to why I always saw myself in you. So, that foolish grungy has finally declared himself as bishop. Naturally, during their meeting, there was tremendous conflict and a choosing of sides. Classic. It reminds me of the struggle at Corinth, when so many fought over who was on Paul's side and who was on Apollos' side. Of course, you are much too young to know what I am referring to! Now, I must remind you that there is still much work to be done. Divide and conquer. The ecclessia is split, therefore, waste no time instilling pride and hatred. I know you are enticing our self exalted puppet to start his own assembly, which is good, but before he does, through slander and lies, he must cripple those who withstood him. Make him feel betrayed. As if he were a great captain who ...

The Devil Wears a Tie (Continued)

Of all the ways the devil will tempt a person, catering to one's vanity is his favorite means to get them to fall. After all, before the inception of time, he also succumbed to pride. He believed he had an inward right to the heavenly throne, and through promulgating the potential of self exaltation to other angelic beings, he led a massive insurrection against the Almighty. There was absolutely no chance of a “successful rebellion”, but reason often dissipates when one is steeped in prideful bitterness. Simply put, the devil began to hate God, for being, God. This attitude of entitlement parades itself in every heart. We may be able to mask it for a while, but given enough hardships and displeasure, we often become the corrupted clay, vilifying the ways of God and distrusting the commands of His word (Isaiah 29:16). The apostle Paul's warning to believers at Ephesus was,  “Don't give the devil any opportunity to work  (Ephesians 4:27).” Yet, in the garden of Eden, we ...

WORLDCLASS SCRUTINIZERS

Lord willing, I will continue to post the "letters of Madam Darkshade", but for now, I am posting something I wrote a few days ago regarding criticism and scrutiny. Romans 14:1-3 , “ Welcome people who are weak in faith, but don't get into an argument over differences of opinion. Some people believe that they can eat all kinds of food. Other people with weak faith believe that they can eat only vegetables. People who eat all foods should not despise people who eat only vegetables. In the same way, the vegetarians should not criticize people who eat all foods, because God has accepted those people (GWT).” 1 Corinthians 13:7a, “Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person... (AMP)” We have lost the art of giving someone the benefit of the doubt. In today's society, perhaps even more in the church, people have become avid critics. At some point in life, we all experience both sides of the ju...
