Already, Christianity has been silenced in our schools, and driven from the public arena. Abortion rights, gay and lesbian rights, feminist rights, and the rights of atheists have virtually eclipsed any rights that Christians once had and enjoyed. There is, and should be, conflict between the biblical Christian and the secular humanist world views, as this is a battle for our minds, a war to determine whether our thoughts will be shaped by the wisdom of men like Marx, Darwin, Freud, and Neitzche, rather than on the wisdom that God shared through the prophets, apostles and, most of all, Jesus himself. The five basic tenets of secular humanism are:
As Christians, we dare not remain neutral in this battle against secular humanism. Elijah challenged Baal on Mount Carmel. Our Lord backed down Satan in the desert. The Apostle Paul took on the pagan philosophers on Mars Hill. Today, God's servants must rise up to oppose Satan's strategies to take over, not only our country, but our churches, as we know them. As Christians, be sure that we are fully informed about the threat that we face, as humanists encroach on areas of life we once considered sacred and safe. The Lord says (in Jeremiah 17:5-8), "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord." This nation is in so much trouble because our leaders have decided to trust in man! That was a big mistake, for man, but one of Satan's design. Philosophical and theological texts have illustrated that the major questions of man have universally been:
Recent surveys demonstrate that these questions continue to perplex the serious college student. Unfortunately, those who seek ultimate answers amid the writings of secularists are looking in the wrong place. Romans 1:22-23 reads, "Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man." Humanism is the world's oldest religion. It rests its case on the side of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, who said to Eve, "You will not surely die, for God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." -- Genesis 3:4-5 All secularists are certainly "like God" in that they believe that their knowledge is far superior to that of the Lord of the Christian Bible. The five basic tenets of humanism again: Atheism, Evolution, Amorality, Autonomous Man, and Globalism. This all comes down to this, that humanism is obsessed with merging Western democracies, the remnants of communism, and third-world dictatorships into a one-world socialist state. Does that sound familiar? Plato's dream of "three classes of people" would be fulfilled. These three classes are: the elite ruling class, the omnipresent military, and the masses, among whom no differences between the sexes exist, with men and women doing the same work, and all children being wards of the state. If Christ's church becomes sufficiently aroused to the fact that humanism is winning he battle for the minds, she will awaken millions of pro-moral, pro-Americans, and together they will vote their amoral, one-world humanist overlords out of office, replacing them with traditional, pro-moral leaders, as there are still a few around. We must never forget that the ultimate in big government is world government. Amen. Humanism is known by a variety of titles, among them being: secular humanism, rationalistic humanism, religious humanism, ethical humanism, evolutionary humanism, enlightened humanism, and planetary humanism; but the favorite term used by the humanists themselves, for their religious faith, is scientific humanism. Ironically, humanism is wholly unscientific, as not one humanist doctrine can stand up to honest scientific evaluation. Rather, it is a zealously defended fraud, funded by U.S. taxpayers. Humanism is a religious worldview
Boy, are they in for a surprise soon! One of the major reasons for the apathy of so many Christians, regarding the moral plight of our nation, particularly among ministers of the Gospel, is a gross misunderstanding of the separation of church and state. By no stretch of the imagination was the "separation" doctrine ever intended to disconnect government from God, or to prohibit Christianity from influencing government with truth, righteousness, justice, and mercy.
Watchman, where are you? We are the Pharisees of the New Millenium Well, I could go on and on, but the point of this article is to urge you to read this book - Mind Siege, by Tim LaHaye and David Noebel - and see for yourself. What's up? Lights on, anybody home? After reading this book, I'm not sure there is anyone home. Where are the watchmen? Where are the Christians, filled with the Holy Ghost? When did all of this happen, and how did it get by us without anyone noticing? I guess that it could all be summed up in one statement from the book, which makes the point that the average Christian spends more time watching television in one evening than he spends reading the Bible during the entire week. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn that some of these are pastors. Oop, sorry. We need to quit fighting among ourselves about doctrinal or denominational differences and recognize that the true enemy - Satan - is humanism and its obsession with secularizing society. Hopefully, this book will rouse people to defend our nation's Bible based morals. The sleeping giant needs to wake up! Amen.
LaHaye states in the introduction of his book, that it was designed to warn Christians of the powerful forces assembled against them, forces that seek to throw off the moral cords of God, and declare themselves liberated - only to find themselves slaves to their own passions and ideas.
