The name of this blog means a lot to me. It's implication is that God is in charge and I yield to him. However, There are certain things I would like to have control over, but can't. I can't control whether my house is worth anything. I can't control what my tax dollars are spent on. I can't control who my kids make friends with. I can't control how other people drive.
The thing that worries me the most is that I can't control the changes in the world that are bombarding my kids. They don't even know they are being bombarded. They don't know how things used to be. They don't know that the simple principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ used to be everywhere.
I was flabbergasted this week to find out that Mikey is being taught a different set of names for the dating system that has served generations. B.C. and A.D. are being phased out and B.C.E. and C.E. are replacing them. Before Christ is now being taught as Before Common Era and Anno Domini (Latin for Year of the Lord) is now Common Era. So, not only has Christ's name been removed, but it has been replaced by the word 'common'. Could there be a more offensive alternative?
One explanation I found on the internet says it is in deference to archaeologists that are not Christian. Political correctness and multiculturalism rear their ugly heads again. I guess I should understand what's going on--Satan is taking more and more control over the minds and hearts of this world. Evil is everywhere. It doesn't have to scream. The more subtle it is, the better--for him. Things like this change are so quiet and presented only to children, who don't understand that it's a big deal, without parents even knowing that it's happening. It makes me wonder who has to approve a change like that. Who says, "Yeah, that's a great idea, let's start with 10 year olds?"
This is only one example. They are everywhere. They are frightening.
