Education is by far the easiest way to capture and influence the minds of the next generation. Between the ages of 5-18 a child will spend a total of 16,000 hours in a school exposing his/her mind to the philosophies and ideologies of the teacher. The same child will spend no more than 750 hours at church however they will expose their minds to social media an average of 15,000 hours during the same period of time. So the question is, who has the greatest power to mold and shape the minds of children based on the length of exposure?
We are in the middle of a cultural war - a war of philosophies and ideas. The war is subtle yet consistent. It is fashioned in such a way that you don't feel the heat increasing and before you know it you have been burned. You can no longer just allow you child to have access to channels like Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network or even Disney without first reading the reviews regarding that particular movie or show.
The agenda is quite obvious. I recall allowing my son back in the 90's to watch a ver innocent/educational show called Blues Clues. I didn't feel back then that I needed to monitor him while watching the little blue dog, however now if you turn to Blues Clues on the same channel you might find a drag queen singing songs about families composed of two daddies or two mommies in an effort to normalizing such idea in the minds of the children.
The Bible says above all else guard your heart for it determines the course of your life. Guarding your heart requires guarding the doorway to the heart which is the mind. Children have no filter, understanding, or training to equip them to guard their hearts and therefore as parents/grandparents it is our responsibility to do so.
