WHAT IS YOUR WORLDVIEW?

Following a week-end attending a Worldview Conference, I came home with my mind full of the many directions we have taken since we first became a sovereign nation based on Godly principles.

It is very easy to see the forces coming against our nation and many of them are coming from within�.and we have given them our permission.

If other worldviews are to flourish, it is imperative that the Christian Heritage of our nation be destroyed. I brought home numerous books and pieces of information and as I read through them, it is not difficult to see how Christianity has been removed from our nation, beginning in the classroom.

I purchased The New-England Primer, which has been reprinted by David Barton�s Wallbuilders organization. It was the primer used in Boston schools in 1777.

Brilliant drawings and illustrations were used as part of the teaching of the alphabet:

In the book, A Lesson for Children, we find:

Pray to God.
Love God.
Fear God.
Take not God�s name in vain
Cheat not in your play
Play not with bad boys
Love your School
Speak the Truth
Be not a Dunce

(Many more lessons - these are just a few examples)

The whole primer is made up of lessons for life and �The Assembly of Divines.� Their teachings were based on the Bible.

We expect our children to really know about God and His truth by sending them to church one or two hours a week and a big part of that time is �entertainment.� We send them to schools funded by citizens� tax dollars, but they are under the control of the NEA and ACLU. Schools where they are told God can not be mentioned and prayer must be evil because it is forbidden.

We then wonder why our nation has been dumbed down with no respect for our sovereign God, the Constitution, our Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights. We find our history books have been distorted. Much of the curriculum is long on fiction and short on truth.

Secular Humanism is a worldview religion with its own Manifesto. It has had a stronghold on the minds of our youth for decades. The following comes from A Humanist Manifesto - 1933:

The time has come for widespread recognition of the radical change in religious beliefs throughout the modern world. The time is past for mere revision of traditional attitudes. Science and economic change have disrupted the old beliefs. Religions the world over are under the necessity of coming to terms with new conditions created by a vastly increased knowledge and experience. In every field of human activity, the vital movement is now in the direction of a candid and explicitly humanism. In order that religious humanism may be better understood we, the undersigned, desire to make certain affirmations which we believe the facts of our contemporary life demonstrate.

There is great danger of a final, and we believe fatal, identification of the word religion with doctrines and methods which have lost their significance and which are powerless to solve the problem of humans living in the Twentieth Century.

Although Humanists will deny it is a religion, there can be no doubt that Secular Humanism IS a religion, just as surely as Christianity. What most don�t realize, as Christianity was being removed from the schools, new religions were being introduced. Dr. David Noebel, author of many books on worldviews, reveals in his book Clergy in the Classroom page after page of documentation proving Secular Humanism is a religion � and by their own admission.

Environmentalism is a religion in the form of creature and earth worship above the Creator. We are subjecting our children to many religions, but the one true religion missing is Christianity, the foundation of our sovereign United States.

As we wonder why things are happening and we just can�t understand, we must realize our churches are benign in many areas. There are so few churches preaching the truth and, therefore, they are certainly no threat to what has invaded our nation. Many churches are into teaching more secular humanism than the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of our youth groups are no more than peer groups led by well meaning, but unqualified leaders.

Kids today have difficulty making moral decisions. Statistics sadly show little difference between divorce rates and other problems in the family among church-goers from the rest of the world. This should not be a surprise, as we have willingly handed over our most valuable investments -- our children -- to un-Christian curriculums, computers and television for training, and sometimes even a major portion of their upbringing.

�Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.� Proverbs 22:6

Maybe we would see a change in our nation if we went back to the New England Primer and children were taught from early childhood:
