TEACH YOUR CHILDREN JOY IN FREEDOM

"I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN 

WALK IN TRUTH."
 3 JOHN 1

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO APPRECIATE 
AND UNDERSTAND
 THAT FREEDOM IS A BLESSING FROM GOD 
TO HIS RIGHTEOUS CHILDREN.  

"BEHOLD, THIS IS IS A CHOICE LAND, 
AND WHATSOEVER NATION SHALL POSSESS IT SHALL BE FREE FROM BONDAGE, 
AND FROM CAPTIVITY, 
AND FROM ALL OTHER NATIONS UNDER HEAVEN, 
IF THEY WILL SERVE THE GOD OF THE LAND, 
WHO IS JESUS CHRIST."  
ETHER 2:12

TEACH THE CHILDREN

We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our CHILDREN may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."
                                          2 Nephi 25:26

 WORDS OF WARNING FROM
 200 YEARS AGO

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government, it can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse (generous gifts) from the public treasury.  From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been two hundred years.  These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency; from dependency to bondage.”  Penned by Professor Alexander Tyler, Scottish historian who wrote in 1787, about the fall of the Athenian republic over 2000 years earlier. 

Isn’t it time that we awake to our awful situation?  All that stands between us and our civilized society is 20 years.  That is all the time we have to teach the children what they need to know.  If we fail to teach the children we   will wake up to a barbaric civilization. 

A few years ago we began a new war in this country, a new phrase   emerged:  The War on Terrorism.  Was this war any more successful than the War on Drugs, or the War on Poverty?  For sure we lost more of our freedoms and are now watched ever more closely.  “Attempts to locate in society’s political discourse the cause of a lunatic’s action is apt to become a temptation to extract partisan advantage from spilled blood.”  Especially the blood of children, and they will use this terrible thing to extract every bit of advantage against us they can.

The testimony of Darrell Scott, the father of two victims of the Columbine High school shooing, given before the Subcommittee on Crime House Judiciary Committee in 1999:

“Your laws ignore our deepest needs, your words are empty air.

You’ve stripped away our heritage, you’ve outlawed simple prayer.

Now gunshots fill our classrooms, and precious children die.

You seek for answers everywhere. And ask the questions WHY?

You regulate restrictive laws, through legislative creed.

Add yet you fail to understand, that God is what we need!”

Too many of our children are getting the message to kill God,  kill parents and kill self.  The laws of this once Godly nation are attempting to redefine the family which is central to God’s plan, all in the name of love, God’s greatest commandment.

“Government is the problem, not the solution.”  Said Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America

The battle sides are beginning to form, a continuation of the war in Heaven.  The spirit of God is the spirit of freedom.  The spirit of Satan is the spirit of force and enslavement. How can he enslave individuals?  How can he enslave the masses?  Keeping  parents busy and preoccupied while sucking the feelings from the children through the influence of war, media, music, entertainment, the medical profession, science, and newspapers will not only destroy the rising generation but lead the masses to enslavement, where Satan can rule instead of Christ. 

In the early 1950’s “The Communist Rules for Revolution” from a member of the Communist (Socialist) program for overthrowing our government  were secured by the Florida State Attorney General, George A. Braufigam:

1. Corrupt the young, get them away from religion.  Get them interested in sex.  Make them superficial, destroy their ruggedness.
2. Get control of all means of publicity and thereby:

Get peoples minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sex oriented books and plays and other trivialities.

Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

Destroy the people’s faith in their leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, and ridicule.

Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.

Encourage government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude toward such disorders.

By spacious argument, cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, and ruggedness.

C.  Cause the registration of all firearms of some pretext, with a view to confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.

The final battle is coming.  Which side will we be found on?  “They that be with us are more than they that be against us” Elisha said of the armies of angels who came to fight their battle. As we awake to our awful situation we can know that the righteous will prevail through the powers of Heaven.     

“I send ye forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore, wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”  Matthew 10:16   We are in the midst of wolves, children be wise!

“You must stand up for something or you will fall for everything.”  Robert Kennedy said.  Teach your children to stand for truth and righteousness, the only safe haven. 

In 1892, the Russian author and philosopher Leo Tolstoy told American ambassador Andrew White  “if the principles and beliefs of Mormonism would endure through the third and fourth generation, the Church is destined to become the greatest power the world has ever known.”  This is a remarkable prophesy, one that will surely come to pass! 

Christ will reign as Lord and King!
