“As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity: And by a plain method of argument, as we are running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully. In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life; that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight.” –Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

We will consider a very sobering subject of the utmost urgency. We have watched for years how our government, educational systems, churches, financial institutions, and nearly every other endeavor of man has increasingly entertained the agenda of Satan in its many faceted forms and guises. The conspiratorial forces of antichrist have been working for so long now that the original purposes of these institutions are hardly recognizable, and their causes are long ago forgotten. What will happen next?

• All Nations Church in Kennington, South London, was recently ordered not to use its sound system for its sermons or music so as to avoid offending its (Muslim) neighbours.

There is a worldwide push to promote homosexual tourism. Even Nepal is gearing up toward this. A report in the Kathmandu Post states, “Almost three years after the Supreme Court established gay rights in Nepal, the country is awaiting to host ‘one of the most extravagant groups of tourists in the world’– the sexual minorities consisting of lesbians, gays,. bi-sexuals and transgenders (LGBTs)” (“Nepal Eyes Sexual Minorities for Tourism,” Oct. 22, 2009).

(excerpted from WorldNetDaily) “The city of St. Louis has agreed to pay $80,000 for censoring the speech of Christians during a ‘gay’ pride festival on city property, according to the Alliance Defense Fund. The law organization represented the plaintiffs in a case brought over the censorship, and it announced yesterday it had voluntarily sought dismissal of the lawsuit after the city’s offending policy had been struck down and the city agreed to pay damages and costs of the case.

New Evangelicals have long divided doctrine into “cardinal” and “secondary” categories, and the “secondary,” we are told, can be overlooked for the sake of unity.

In Grace Awaking, Chuck Swindoll says, “My encouragement for you today is that each one of us pursue what unites us with others rather than the few things that separate us. … There was a time in my life when I had answers to questions no one was asking. I had a position that life was so rigid I would fight for every jot and tittle. I mean, I couldn’t list enough things that I’d die for. The older I get, the shorter that list gets, frankly” (Grace Awakening, p. 189).

Even the most conservative evangelicals, such as Iain Murray, fall into this trap. Condemning Fundamentalism in America Murray stated, “In its tendency to add stipulations not foundational to Christian believing, fundamentalism was prone to make the boundaries of Christ’s kingdom too small” (Iain Murray, Evangelicalism Divided, p. 298).

A Roman Catholic website briefly describes the meaning of Halloween to modern Catholics:

“Halloween (the ‘e’en’ or evening before ‘All Hallow’s,’ or all the ‘Holy Ones,’ the saints) is the vigil of two feast days. All Saints Day is November 1, and All Souls Day is November 2….On All Saints we celebrate the lives of the saints, especially those in heaven. On All Souls Day we remember those who have died, especially in our immediate family….Skeletons and skulls are naturally symbols at Halloween because of All Souls Day, ‘the Day of the Dead,’ as some countries call it. It doesn’t hurt us to think about death once a year. We’re all going to die someday. Skeletons and skulls remind us of this. Figures of devils and witches can also remind us of the ever-present temptation to be like God. Halloween is not ‘of the devil,’ as some FUNDAMENTALISTS say. Many denominations don’t teach about the COMMUNION OF SAINTS, so naturally they don’t celebrate All Saints Day or All Souls Day. All they have left of Halloween is pre-Christian superstition about the dead.” (Americancatholic.org)
