We walk by faith, not by sight. Don’t fall into despair because the humanistic culture is falling apart around us. Instead, focus on the great opportunity you have to teach your children the full counsel of God in each and every subject. Times may be tough, but you get to have a say in the future.
Don’t rely on the network news or even talk radio to get your information. Turn off and tune out those sources that have proved time and again to be mouthpieces for those who hate God and His law-word. Find a truly reliable news source and get your info there. Examine their presuppositions before you accept their conclusions.
If you want to really be informed, I suggest you peruse websites such as Chalcedon’s and take advantage of earlier articles from its Faith for All of Life magazine which delve into the important issues of our day. There are also numerous lectures and sermons available there that are excellent commentaries on the status quo. Check out the newly posted Chalcedon Position Papers that cover a wide range of topics:
Economic Crises and the Bible
Education, Liberty, and the Bible
Judgment, Politics, and the Bible
National Defense and the Bible
Taxation, Liberty, and the Bible
You might even assign some of these to your older students and discuss with them current events from a biblical perspective, ensuring they understand the underlying issues.
Begin to build a library of materials (books, CDs and DVDs) for yourself and your children, with the added bonus of sharing these materials with other believers once your family is finished with them. Consider supplying your children’s children with some of these resources to prepare them for the battles which loom ahead.
If we are going to rebuild and reconstruct this society, we better make use of the effective tools we have at our disposal.
