  1. In order to win a battle you must start by understanding the nature of the enemy you are up against and the landscape of the battlefield. This is spiritual warfare. I know not everyone will see it that way, but no other generation of Americans has ever faced a situation where reality itself is at play. But then again, no previous generation has turned their back on God the way this one has. No previous generation of men have abdicated their traditional role as leader in the home and outside of it in such mass numbers. This has always been Satan's domain and we are no match for him. For those who dismiss that, at least think about the good that comes from a culture rooted in a Judeo-Christian value system. Benjamin Franklin did and he stated that such a value system is a stabilizing force for good on the societal level. Outside of Thomas Paine who was a full-blown atheist, Franklin was probably the most irreligious thought leaders of the American Revolution. Even Richard Dawkins is saying the west needs Christianity to straighten the ship. We will only get out of this mess if we return to God. That has to be step one. Want to protect your kids? Start by being involved in their lives in a meaningful way. Attend church and live the way God wants us to. There is an old saying that states the family that prays together stays together. There is a lot of truth in that. As someone who fell down in that regard and paid a heavy price I speak from experience. Have a genuine relationship with your kids and be a leader, a mentor, and a teacher. If you don't someone will. Kids want boundaries. It lets them know you care enough to set them. Stand up to teachers and school boards if you can't afford any option outside of public education. Be brave and trust in God. St. Paul wrote about what happens when you try to handle things your own way, when you try to live a life based on your will: "The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. Ever since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what He has made. As a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord Him glory as God or give Him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. While claiming to be wise, they became fools...Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies...Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper." ― Romans 1: 18-28. Even if you don't believe, you can't deny the veracity of Paul's words. That's todays culture in a nutshell. So again, know your enemy and understand you cannot defeat him on your own. We aren't powerless, but we have to want God's help. Otherwise as C.S. Lewis put it, He will say to us; "Your will be done."
