The End

Our world has always dealt with political corruption and evil. Yet these days it seems that American parents are having to raise their kids in a culture where the breakdown of the very foundations and fundamental principles of reality have been challenged and sometimes redefined. This is a different kind of evil. A kind of evil that logically culminates into chaos which logically ends in conflict, destruction, and death. So the question becomes- may we be living in the last days?

Lockdown

As parents have we been teaching our kids about the merits of hard work and the American free market? If so, how do we explain to them why our government appears to be fundamentally straying from the principles that once made our nation the envy of the world? A system that has always rewarded hard work and hailed a free market. Many experts believe that today’s kids will never acquire the economic status their parents enjoyed because too many are taught to believe socialism and free things from cradle to grave is the way to the new American dream. Or the Great Reset.

Media Access

Our kids are being raised in a media-saturated world where their media choices have become virtually endless. Some of this is good, but when does it turn into too much of a good thing and become bad? Can too many media choices dilute what good and bad choices look like? With respect to digital technology is it wise for our kids to have unrestricted access to the proverbial candy shop of media? Are there psychological, emotional, behavioral, physical, and spiritual risks when media access is unrestricted?
