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).
