Christianity was supposed to be about becoming like Jesus. We went in the wrong direction.

Fast, Cheap, and Easy

It can be difficult for Christian parents to fully appreciate the forces Satan has set in motion against them. The collectives he has constituted and the media he has programmed have been particularly effective. Many Christian parents sincerely believe that bringing their children to a denominational church for a couple of hours a week is all that is needed to insure that they have Christian faith. The appeal can be strong. It is easy, others seem to agree, specially trained pastors concur, and one is assured that experts have determined all that is needed. One should be suspicious of anything presented where one is told they have to accept something rather than conclude something as a result of their own inquiry.

Being relieved of the burden of thought can seem to be an advantage. One might see in the curse God placed on creation after the first sin an environment that is difficult. Difficulty was not for us to “pay” for sin or because God is a meany. Difficulty is a benefit for us because it forces us to understand that in our own nature there is that which would destroy us if allowed free reign. Just as the Roman Emperors were harmed by having their indulgences satisfied, all of humanity has suffered as a result of the comforts the Industrial Revolution and subsequent exploitation of petroleum and electric power have provided. Life has become easier, as a result, the first warnings God gave about us are coming to fruition (Gen 11:6). The world is more prosperous, there are many conveniences, and there is little to restrain our imagination.

Parents want to avoid constructing a copy of the world in their own homes. Children need to have work to do and be curbed from the indulgences of the larger world. Being able to see the world and it’s systems as Satan has designed them allows parents to both guide their children away from them as well as resist copying them in their own home.
