Dear Christian Youth
of America,
The United States of
America is in “big
time” trouble—and
your America needs
your
help! The America
you live in is
struggling in most
every way
possible—spiritually,
morally,
financially,
politically, and
socially.
Historically,
America has been the
best nation on earth
to be born in, grow
up in and live
in─ever since our
founding back in
1776. The freedom
and liberties
America has provided
to its own citizens,
and has offered to
people of various
nations everywhere
around the world, is
unprecedented.
Why there is such a
concentrated effort
today to tear down
and destroy the
America we
baby-boomer adults
grew up with is
incomprehensible to
me, but it’s obvious
we adults are
failing in our
responsibility to
God to keep this a
Christian nation
honoring Him for all
the many blessings
He has bestowed upon
this country over
the years.
It’s easy to
understand the
hostile actions
taken against us by
avowed enemies from
other countries, but
it is unthinkable,
that seemingly, a
sizable segment of
our own nation’s
citizens (seemingly
the radical, liberal
left segment) want
to dismantle their
own country!!!
WHY???
For what sane
reason would anyone
want to replace the
very foundation
stones of the best
democratic-republic
nation in the
history of the
world?
Every nation
that has risen to
power under some
other form of
government and tried
to force its corrupt
and evil regime on
others, without God
as its cornerstone,
has crumbled and
failed—and so will
America if we
totally abandon in
all institutions of
our society─the
Christian principles
and values
established by
Almighty God and our
American “founding
fathers.”
It’s clear that we
are in the midst of
a spiritual warfare
in America, a war
started by Satan.
Biblical
scripture warns us
to
“be on the
alert, your
adversary, the
devil, prowls about
like a roaring lion,
seeking someone to
devour” (1 Peter
5:8). This can be
the only logical
explanation why
America would allow
apostasy and all
sorts of evils to
become prevalent in
our society.
Satan is
overtly trying to
get our historically
Christian nation to
“implode” upon
itself as he seeks
to “devour” the
United States of
America by
deceptively
capturing the hearts
and minds of
American youth—and
distracting people
from focusing on
God.
Satan is constantly
“conditioning”
Americans─especially
the youth, to “fall
away from the truth”
which is one
definition of
apostasy.
Satan was
devising his plan of
“conditioning” back
when we current
adults were the
youth of America
back in the 1960’s.
It’s not hard
to see why America
has “fallen away”
from the truth today
when you consider
that our country is
now being run by the
“hippies” of
yesteryear, as well
as the sons and
daughters of that
hippie generation.
The hippie
movement dating back
to the latter half
of the 1960’s was
the first age of
prolific drug use in
America─an era of
“free love”
promoting an immoral
lifestyle, and an
anti-establishment
“anything goes” way
of thinking.
It all led to
the gradual demise
of the traditional
values regarding
family and personal
relationships in
America.
Yes,
many of the youth
from that age are
now in positions of
power and
controlling the
direction of America
today.
How’s that
for a warm,
comforting feeling?
Christian principles
and values in this
country took a “big
hit” in the 1960’s
and the ripple
effect from those
days continues right
into today and this
generation of
American youth.
The “flower
power” movement was
actually the second
part of a “double
whammy” to America
within the course of
a decade—coming
shortly after the
Supreme Court began
the process of
removing
Christianity out of
public schools in
the early 1960’s.
Is it really any
surprise why we have
mass killings in
such places as
Columbine and
now─Aurora,
Colorado, at the
hands of “lost”
young Americans?
For the most
part, the Christian
foundations,
principles, and
values found in
American families,
schools, churches
and other
institutions of
America over the
first couple hundred
years of our
nation’s existence
have been constantly
chiseled away over
the last few
decades.
Imagine if those
young men mentioned
above had been
reached with
Christianity, rather
than filled with
evil influences, and
used by Satan as
instruments to
deliver death,
injury and suffering
to innocent victims.
Those dreadful
events and many
other crimes would
likely never happen
if the youth of
today were reached
with Christianity in
greater numbers.
The sad truth
though is that
all Americans
are being
“conditioned” by the
schemes of the devil
to one extent or the
other, depending on
how much of the
“full armor of
God”(Ephesians
6:11-17) we put on
to resist evil
Satanic influences
in this nation.
We are bombarded
daily with Satan’s
“conditioning” for
the coming day when
he installs his
“Antichrist” as the
world leader at the
start of the
Tribulation period.
Yes, the devil is
conditioning
Americans and people
worldwide─especially
the youth─by
countless means. But
primarily through
world events leading
us toward a
one-world government
and commerce,
through increasing
persecution of
Christian activity,
including our own
anti-Christian
American government
legislation, through
our public school
system curriculum,
through the
promotion of immoral
and deviant behavior
shown on television,
in the movies, and
through today’s
music, through
so-called computer
“games” that glorify
killing and evils of
every kind, through
“big brother”
technology keeping
an increasing eye on
all of us, and now
through an
increasing
sophistication of
tech gadgets and
social
networking─intended
to keep us all
“connected” no
matter where we are
or where we go. Yes,
Satan is preparing
technology to make
it possible for
everyone around the
world to view the
Antichrist and
listen to his
promises, directives
and assorted
“lies” when
he takes “central
command” on the
world stage─when the
Tribulation begins.
Christian Americans
know this country is
not our destination
home. We have a
“dual” citizenship
and we are merely
passing through this
world on the way to
our heavenly home.
However, while we
are here God has
called us for a
purpose, and that
purpose includes
being involved in
the political
affairs of our
country to keep it a
Christian nation
honoring God. The
spiritual battles we
Christians face in
this life will be
painful, resulting
in increased
suffering and in
some cases,
martyrdom, but
thanks to the “Good
News” of Jesus
Christ found in the
Bible, we know we
ultimately “win” the
“spiritual war”
against Satan.
If you flip
ahead to the last
book of the Bible
(like some people
read the last
chapter of a novel
first) you will read
in Revelation 20:10:
“And the devil who
deceived them was
thrown into the lake
of fire and
brimstone, where the
beast [Antichrist]
and the false
prophet are also;
and they will be
tormented day and
night forever and
ever.”
But there are
many battles for
Christians to face
until the time of
the Rapture.
Dear Christian youth
in America today—we
adults need
you to
make a positive
impact in our
nation—your country
needs you to become
involved in reaching
out to your peers,
re-instilling a love
of God, a love of
Jesus Christ, a love
for traditional
family life, and a
love for a Christian
America in our
hearts and minds,
before the devil has
a chance to “devour”
someone else.
We adults in
America had our
chance to keep
America the
Christian nation
that we grew up in,
but we, for the most
part are failing.
It’s now up
to you to create a
Christian revival in
America and restore
the people’s faith
in God and the
personal liberties
in America─as
intended by our
“founding fathers”
who based their
beliefs and the
government they
formed on Christian
principles as
provided to us by
Almighty God.
It may seem like a
daunting task, but
don’t let that stop
you from making a
positive difference
in America’s future.
Remember,
Christianity itself
began with the
one solitary
life of Jesus.
His life,
death, and
resurrection, led a
few believers in
Christ Jesus to
spread the gospel
and Christianity to
hundreds, then
thousands, and then
millions of other
believers over time
and right up to this
present day. Satan
and the world have
tried in every way
conceivable to
extinguish
Christianity ever
since the early days
of the apostles of
Jesus Christ. But
Christianity has
prevailed and
actually seems to be
growing rapidly in
some countries of
the world today, but
not so here in
America—of all
places.
False
teachings and
religions of all
kinds seem to be
increasing in
America, but not
true Christianity.
The early Christians
did not have great
church buildings or
school buildings, or
other public
buildings available
to them in which to
gather and spread
the “Good News” of
Jesus Christ.
They met in
homes and anywhere
else they could find
for their small
groups to be safe
from persecution.
Pray for God’s
direction on where
to gather today—be
it in homes,
churches, school
buildings when
possible, community
buildings when
possible, or maybe
just under a large
shade tree somewhere
in the big outdoors!
There are
many optional places
to meet if one
meeting place is
blocked from you for
whatever reason.
American youth need
to read, study, and
learn what the Bible
has to say to us
today. What the
Bible has to say is
as fresh for us in
the 21st
century as it was
for the early
Christians when the
canon of biblical
books was first
compiled, printed,
and made available
to the masses. Would
you rather devour
the Word of God or
be devoured by
Satan?
Keep in
mind─your answer to
this question has
“eternal”
ramifications for
you!
American youth also
need to learn the
truth about
American history.
It has been
altered and
rewritten so much
over the years,
especially since the
early 1960’s. So
much so that it is
impossible for our
youth today to get a
clear picture and
understanding of our
nation’s original
Christian
foundation. Yes, you
still need to attend
school and honor
your teachers with
your attention and
obedience in classe.
The Bible says to
“submit yourselves”
for the Lord’s sake
to every human
institution…for such
is the will of God
(1 Peter 2:13-17).
Student’s today need
to supplement their
formal studies in a
school system with
their own research
and studies outside
the school system to
find out the truth
about American
history and the
Christian foundation
that made our
country great and
pleasing to God for
over two centuries.
A real impact of
change for the
better in America
could be realized if
CYA (Christian Youth
of America) youth
groups were formed
in every state, in
every county, in
every city and town
across America, to
study the Bible—and
also to study true
early American
history.
If you gather
for a two-hour
meeting, perhaps
first to study and
discuss the Bible
for one hour, then
in the second hour
study some early
American history,
followed by a
discussion on how to
apply the Word of
God in America
today.
Praise God that
Bibles are still
easy to obtain, but
it’s not so easy
with early American
history textbooks,
those that present
an accurate account
of American history.
The best early
American textbooks,
formerly used in
public schools would
probably be the ones
used between 1836
and 1960.
Some 120
million McGuffey
Readers were
sold between the
above-mentioned
years.
Even from
1961 to today an
average of 31,000
per year are sold
for use─primarily by
homeschoolers and
private schools.
These readers
are still easily
obtainable for use
as material in your
study groups today.
McGuffey
Readers were
graded primers
widely used as
textbooks in
American schools
between the mid-19th
century and mid-20th
century.
William
McGuffey interpreted
the goals of public
schooling in terms
of moral and
spiritual education,
thus Christian
principles and
precepts were
combined into the
studies and the
learning process of
American students.
Other early
20th
century history
textbooks can be
found in libraries
and second hand
bookstores.
David Barton
has published an
excellent series of
Wall Builders
books over the years
which shed light on
the American history
that used to be
taught in schools,
but can no longer be
found in today’s
history textbooks.
These are not easy
times for the youth
of America.
Many of you cannot
find jobs after
graduation from high
school or even after
graduation from
college. If you are
a Christian youth,
rest assured that
God will not forsake
you; perhaps He is
just looking to turn
your adversity into
an opportunity to
serve Him in some
other way. You just
never know where
your faith in God
and your trust in
Jesus Christ as your
Lord and Savior will
lead you. So as the
Bible says, gird
your minds for
action (be
disciplined in your
thinking) keep sober
in spirit, fix your
hope completely on
the grace to be
brought to you at
the revelation of
Jesus Christ. As
obedient children,
do not be conformed
to the former lusts
which were yours in
your ignorance, but
like the Holy One
who called you, be
holy yourselves also
in your behavior (1
Peter 1:13-15).
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God
that he
may exalt you at the
proper time, casting
all your anxiety
upon Him,
because He cares for
you” (1 Peter
5:6-7).
“And after
you have suffered
for a little while,
the God of all
grace, who called
you to His eternal
glory in Christ,
will Himself
perfect, confirm.
Strengthen and
establish you” (1
Peter 5:10).
God bless you,
Christian Youth of
America! Your
generation will soon
be the next
generation of
leaders in the
United States of
America. The more
Christians in places
of influential
leadership in
America—the brighter
our nation’s future
will become. If you
are old enough to
vote this year—be
sure to vote in the
general election
this November!
