Do you feel uneasy in your spirit tonight because of a humanist idea you have heard voiced by or around your loved ones, particularly your children?

While man has developed laser printers and surgical procedures, perfected satellite communication, and photographed distant planets, even scientists can't figure out what makes a cat purr! God still holds many secrets in Himself, and many of His simplest workings still baffle man. Yet humanists will tell you (and are telling your children in school) that we can save mankind...that man himself is capable of ruling the universe; that there is power in the god of self.

To a Christian the deception is obvious, but the influence these people have gained over the media, school systems and young minds is frightening. Frustration and a sense of helplessness may keep many of you parents awake at night crying to the Lord, "How can I stop Johnny from believing all this?"

Set the example by living a life that continually points to the supremacy and sovereignty of the Lord...a Lord who says, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways...For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9, NKJV).

Please be on guard. Don't fall into humanistic thinking yourself, or allow your children to be swallowed by its deceit!

Heavenly Father, You have warned of deceptions in these last days. Help us to protect and guide our children. Help us to be shining examples of Your clarity and truth. May no one in my family be deceived. Use me as a defender of Your Word and a spokesman for Your Name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
