Christian Values Under Attack

As the United States increasingly rejects God, those who try to hold on to traditional Christian values are under attack like never before. The reality is that America is not a "free" nation any longer - especially for Bible believing Christians.

The latest example of this comes from North Carolina. Three homeschoolers in that state have been ordered into public schools by a judge.

What was the rationale of that judge?

He claimed that the homeschooling the mother had provided over the last four years needed to be "challenged."

In other words, the judge believed that the children needed to be indoctrinated into the "American" system.

So were the children receiving a good education at home?

Yes, they were - they all have tested above their grade levels by as much as two years.

But that didn't matter to the judge.

Even while Christian values are being trampled on, the agenda of the radical left is marching forward across the United States.

For instance, same sex couples will have all of the rights and benefits that that state of Washington offers to married couples under a new bill passed by the state Senate.

So if same sex couples get to enter into a government sanctioned relationship that has the exact same rights and privileges as marriage, how is that any different from being married?

It isn't.

The truth is that this bill legalizes gay marriage in the state of Washington - just under a different name.

So how did this happen to America?

Well, when we let televisions raise our children this is what happens.

A new study shows that excessive television watching by teens leads to an increased chance of depression as adults.

And we certainly have a lot of depressed adults.

The vast majority of television programs have absolutely no mention of God - unless they are using His name as a cussword.

We allow our children to watch thousands of hours of "programming" that has no references to God at all, and then we wonder why our society is becoming godless?

The truth is that we have brought this upon ourselves.

America is falling, but you and your family still have time to repent and to turn back to God. We are in the end times, but there is still time for people to turn to the Lord.

U.K. Parents Told To Avoid Morality When Giving Sex Talks To Their Children

A new pamphlet by the U.K. government is instructing parents to avoid any reference to morality when talking to them about sex. Rather, the pamphlet directs parents that any sex talks should be kept “light” to encourage teenagers to form their own views.

The pamphlet is named "Talking to Your Teenager About Sex and Relationships", and it will be distributed in pharmacies in the U.K. starting next month.

The following is one line from the new pamphlet.....

“Remember, though, that trying to convince them of what’s right and wrong may discourage them from being open.”

So should we teach our teens the difference between right and wrong?

Where has a generation of amoral sex education gotten us?

Let's take a look at some statistics.....

*In America today, one out of every four TEENAGE girls has at least one STD.

*For American teen girls who acknowledged being sexually active, the rate of infection is 40%.

*According to a study by the Health Department of New York City, 26 percent of all residents of New York City have herpes.

*In another new federal survey, more than 50 percent of both male and female 15 to 19 year old teenagers admit to having engaged in oral sex.

But some of the most shocking statistics come from a survey of American teen girls that Tyra Banks conducted.

More than 10,000 teenage girls and young women took part in an anonymous survey last summer on the website of "The Tyra Banks Show", and the results were absolutely shocking:

*On average, girls are losing their virginity at 15 years of age.

*14 percent of teens who are having sex say they’re doing it at school.

*52 percent of the respondents say they do not use protection when having sex.

*One in three says she fears having a sexually transmitted disease.

*24 percent of respondents with STDs say they still have unprotected sex.

*One in five girls says she wants to be a teen mom.

*One out of three respondents admits to having tried drugs.

So why is this happening?

This is what happens when a nation rejects God.

The only hope for you and your family is Yahshua (Jesus) the Son of the Living God.

This world does not have a bright future for you. But through the Messiah you can find forgiveness of sins, eternal life and more love and purpose than you could possibly imagine.....

Bristol Palin Says Sexual Abstinence For Teens Is "Not Realistic" On Fox News

In a stunning new interview with Fox News that will undoubtedly harm Sarah Palin's political standing with social conservatives, Bristol Palin said that she believes that abstinence is "not realistic".

When pressed for a reason why it is not realistic, Bristol Palin seemed to infer that it was because sexual activity among teens is now "more accepted".

Perhaps that is a twist on the more familiar "everyone else is doing it" excuse.

It was really a rather bizarre interview. Check out the video of Bristol Palin's stunning comments on Fox News.....



So is teen sexual abstinence really unrealistic?

Do we live in a world where our teens have no choice but to run around having sex with their classmates, getting pregnant and passing around sexually transmitted diseases in the process?

The truth is that when God tells us to do something, it is for our own good. When we violate God's laws there are consequences.

God tells us to stay pure until marriage for many reasons, and one of them is that staying pure protects our health.

STDs are exploding across our nation. Now, one out of every four TEENAGE girls has at least one STD.

That is unthinkable!

And for those teen girls who acknowledged having sex, the rate of infection is 40%.

Dr. Margaret Blythe, an adolescent medicine specialist at Indiana University School of Medicine and head of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on adolescence says that these figures are "overwhelming because you're talking about nearly half of the sexually experienced teens at any one time having evidence of an STD."

A nation full of sexual immorality is a nation full of sexual disease.

And did you know that a new study by the Health Department of New York City has found that 26 percent of all residents of New York City have herpes?

Now keep in mind.....that is only one sexually transmitted disease.

Chlamydia, gonorrhea, infectious syphilis, AIDS and many other disgusting sexual diseases are also running rampant in New York City and across the United States.

How in the world did America get to this point?

America violated the Word of God.

America broke God's Laws.

If everyone waited until marriage and kept sex inside of marriage, then these diseases would not be running rampant in the United States. But America thought it knew better, and America did things that way that it wanted, and now America is paying the price.

In a new federal survey, more than 50 percent of both male and female 15 to 19 year old teenagers admit to having engaged in oral sex.

Think about that for a while.

That is absolutely stunning.

More teenagers have practiced oral sex than have not.

These are young kids who have not even reached their 20th birthday yet.

Can the wickedness that is plaguing this nation get much worse?

What are we teaching our kids that they would act this way?

Have we completely failed them?

Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, the survey of American teen girls that Tyra Banks conducted totally stunned us.

More than 10,000 teenage girls and young women took part in an anonymous survey last summer on the website of "The Tyra Banks Show", and the results were absolutely shocking:

*On average, girls are losing their virginity at 15 years of age.

*14 percent of teens who are having sex say they’re doing it at school.

*52 percent of the respondents say they do not use protection when having sex.

*One in three says she fears having a sexually transmitted disease.

*24 percent of respondents with STDs say they still have unprotected sex.

*One in five girls says she wants to be a teen mom.

*One out of three respondents admits to having tried drugs.

One 16 year old girl that was interviewed on Tyra's show says that she had sex for the first time at 13 years of age. Since then, she says that she has had 9 sex partners and has contracted several sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes.

Is this any way for our teens to live?

Why do we insist on not teaching them to avoid these behaviors?

The truth is that our society has rejected God and His ways, so this is what we get.

We teach our children that they came from animals and that they can have sex whenever they want. We just suggest that they use a little "protection" (which actually is not much protection at all).

We have failed our teens.

The results speak for themselves.

The reality is that we are living in the last days, and our society is full of proud, wicked people who love to sin just like the Scriptures tell us:

2 Timothy 3:1-5

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

Prostitute Barbie? This Is Not Your Grandma's Barbie Doll!

The new "Black Canary" Barbie doll by Mattel has truly set a new low. Dressed in kinky fishnet leggings that go way too high, a motorcycle jacket, black gloves and kinky black boots, "Black Canary" Barbie is apparently a role model for preteens who want to walk the street someday.

What do you think goes through the mind of a young girl when they are given a doll like this to play with?

Don't you think that introducing a "dominatrix" Barbie to girls at a very young age will warp their sense of reality?

Can you imagine young girls in the 1950s playing with a doll like this?

Of course not.

This is another example of the decline of traditional values in our nation.

What we teach our children at a young age DOES have a huge impact when they get older.

In a new federal survey, over half of both male and female 15 to 19 year old teenagers admit to having engaged in oral sex.

Think about that.

More teenagers have practiced oral sex than have not.

These are kids who have not even reached their 20th birthday yet.

It sure makes one think twice about putting kids in public schools that is for certain.

Can the wickedness of this nation get much worse?

What are we teaching our kids that they would act this way?

This story brought the following verse to mind:

"Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold"

--Matthew 24:12

A New Study Reveals That Sexual Perversion Among Teens Is On The Rise

ABC News is reporting on a new study that apparently shows that sexual perversion among American teens is very much on the rise.

Wasn't "sex education" supposed to prevent all that?

Wasn't passing out condoms supposed to teach our teens to be "safe and responsible"?

The truth is that if we don't teach our young people the Word of God then this is how they behave.

This is NOT how life was like 50 or 100 years ago.

America has changed and things are getting worse - not better.

America you need to wake up.

New Poll - American Teens Lie, Cheat And Steal More Than Ever

A new survey has revealed that 30 percent of U.S. high school students have stolen from a store and 64 percent of them have cheated on a test during the past year.

This was a very, very large poll. The Josephson Institute polled 29,760 students in 100 randomly selected high schools nationwide. So this survey represents a very large sampling of American teens.

The survey also revealed some other troubling findings:

*36 percent of the teens said that they used the Internet to plagiarize an assignment.

*42 percent of the teens said they sometimes lie to save money.

* But 93 percent of the teens said that they were satisfied with their personal ethics and character.

They must have pretty low standards.

But what do we expect?

One recent demographic study found that out of the 40 hours a week of free time the average American is said to have, a typical woman spends about 15 hours watching television and only a single hour on religion. That study also found that among men the time devoted to religion is even less.

So if that is how we approach our lives, should we expect more from our children?

Tyra Banks Shocked By What Teen Girls Revealed To Her In A New Survey

Tyra Banks has shocked us once again, but this time it is a survey of American teen girls that is dropping jaws.

More than 10,000 teenage girls and young women took part in an anonymous survey over the summer on the website of "The Tyra Banks Show", and the results are absolutely shocking:

*On average, girls are losing their virginity at 15 years of age.

*14 percent of teens who are having sex say they’re doing it at school.

*52 percent of the respondents say they do not use protection when having sex.

*One in three says she fears having a sexually transmitted disease.

*24 percent of respondents with STDs say they still have unprotected sex.

*One in five girls says she wants to be a teen mom.

*One out of three respondents admits to having tried drugs.

Tyra Banks also told the "Today Show" that teen girls appear to be more sexually active than ever before.

One 16 year old girl that was interviewed on Tyra's show says that she had sex for the first time at 13 years of age. Since then, she says that she has had 9 sex partners and has contracted several sexually transmitted diseases, including genital herpes.

Is this any way for our teens to live?

Why do we insist on not teaching them to avoid these behaviors?

The truth is that our society has rejected God and His ways, so this is what we get.

We teach our children that they came from animals and that they can have sex whenever they want. We just suggest that they use a little "protection" (which actually is not much protection at all).

Watching 'Sex and the City' And 'Friends' Leads To Teenage Sex?

A controversial new study reveals that pregnancy rates are much higher among teenagers who watch a lot of television with sexual dialogue and behavior than among those who don't.

Some of the shows that the study asked teenagers about include "Sex and the City", "That '70s Show" and "Friends".

The study, published in "Pediatrics", is based on interviews with teens over a three year period.

WebMD is reporting that according to the study, teens who watched the most sexual content (90th percentile) on television were twice as likely to experience a pregnancy in the three year period as those who watched the least sexual content (10th percentile).

The researchers said this about their findings: "Given the high rates of teen pregnancy in the United States, our findings argue for continued evaluation of television's role in teen pregnancy and for prevention strategies that factor in the role of portrayals of sexuality on television and in other media."

But seriously.....will watching television and movies with highly sexual content really lead to more teenagers having sex?

Can't our teens distinguish between fantasy and reality?

Or does fantasy become reality when our teens start to imitate their heroes?

Proverbs 23:7 says this about mankind - "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he".

So according to the Scriptures, what we constantly think about is what we are likely to become.

If our thoughts are filled with sex and sexual things, then we are inevitably going to drift towards those things.

Instead of filling our minds with programs that discuss never ending sexual immorality, the Bible tells us to think about those things that are good and pure. This is what the Scriptures say in Philippians 4:8 -

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

So instead of letting our teenagers watch thousands of hours of primetime television and R rated movies, perhaps we should be seeking to help them fill their minds with more positive things.

But I am certain many readers of this blog will disagree with us.

If you do disagree, please feel free to leave a comment explaining why.

A Major U.K. Magazine Does An Article On The Sterilization Of Women In Their 20s

A major women’s magazine in the U.K. called Love It recently ran an article entitled, "Young, Single and Sterilized".

This article talked about women in their 20’s who have undergone an operation to prevent them from ever having children.

Sterilization has become a trendy thing for young women in many nations, and it is being promoted by the global elite as a means of population control.

In the article, a young woman named Chloe explains why she decided to have herself sterilized at the age of just 20 years old.

“By the time I was 18, I knew I was never going to change. I couldn’t imagine letting something take over my body and then my whole life.”

“I couldn’t even look at a baby without feeling uncomfortable.”

Following her sterilization procedure, Chloe says that now “I’ve got a lifetime of going out ahead of me now”.

Apparently that means that now she can go out to clubs, get drunk, do drugs, sleep around with lots of men and not worry about getting pregnant.

Lindsay Lohan Will Marry Her Lesbian Lover, Jessica Alba's Effort To "Seduce The Vote" & A Teacher Plays Torture Porn In The Classroom

Lindsay Lohan Plans To Marry Her Lesbian Lover

After giving up on men and dating her lesbian girlfriend for only a few months, Lindsay Lohan is now planning to get married.

I guess the matching tattoos should have been a clue that they were serious.

Just a few days after DJ Samantha Ronson announced that Lindsay would be her wife by the end of year, the "Mean Girls" star is wearing quite a ring on her wedding finger.

Actress Jessica Alba Tries To "Seduce The Vote" With A Raunchy, Topless, Bondage Ad

Apparently "Rock The Vote" was not enough. Now actress Jessica Alba is out to "seduce the vote".

The young star of "Sin City" is shot topless in the photo campaign with heavy eye makeup and black tape across her mouth and chest.

The pictures include the tag line "Only You Can Silence Yourself" and Alba claims that the pictures "really resonate" with young people.

Particularly with young males I would suppose.

Pornography In The Classroom

A high school photography teacher in Phoenix, Arizona has been put on administrative leave after his students said that he showed them "torture porn" videos for 20 minutes during class.

One of the students said that the teacher began a photography lesson by connecting his personal computer to a projector screen. The class was told to work on an assignment, and he allegedly began viewing the torture porn videos during instruction time, all the while forgetting that the projector was still connected to his laptop.

"He forgot the projector screen was turned on and he started watching porn and we were all just like sitting there shocked that he was watching this in front of the class," one of the students said.

And the sad thing is that this is not an isolated incident.

There are countless teachers in America who are addicted to pornography.

What is particularly sick about this individual is that he sat there watching it in front of his class. We can only guess how many days he did this.

"I Kissed A Girl And I Liked It" - Now Our Female Pop Stars Sing About Kissing Women And Hoping Their Boyfriends Don't Find Out

*Warning* Please do not let anyone under 18 watch this video below.

I thought twice about posting it at all.

But I was truly stunned by what was in this video, and I thought that you all should see what is going on.

In the video, the female pop star sings about how she has a boyfriend, but she kissed a girl "just to try it".

Let's see.....half the country seems to be furious that a certain vice presidential candidate "believes the Bible", but nobody is protesting over videos like this. Does that seem right to you?:

If this is typical of what we can expect from our next generation, then we are in trouble:

1 Out Of Every 4 Teen Girls Have An STD & More Than 25 Percent Of The Residents Of New York City Have Herpes

When God tells us to do something, it is for our own good. When we violate God's laws there are consequences.

Why Aren't We Teaching Our Teens To Wait Until Marriage? - Over 50 Percent Of 15 To 19 Year Olds Admit Having Oral Sex In A New Survey

The response to this new blog has been overwhelming.

And I think I know at least part of the reason.

A LOT of Americans recognize the dramatic moral collapse of this nation and they are sick and tired of it.

We recently found another example of the decline of traditional values in America.

In a new federal survey, more than 50 percent of both male and female 15 to 19 year old teenagers admit to having engaged in oral sex.

Think about that for a while.

That is absolutely stunning.

More teenagers have practiced oral sex than have not.

These are young kids who have not even reached their 20th birthday yet.

It sure makes one think twice before putting kids in public schools that is for certain.

Can the wickedness that is plaguing this nation get much worse?

What are we teaching our kids that they would act this way?

Have we completely failed them?

The story about this survey brought this scripture to mind:

"Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold"

-Matthew 24:12
