The “Gay” worldview is pushed pretty hard in schools today, but contrast that with a God-centered worldview. There is a significant contrast between a gay-full and a joyful school. We move into some practical tips on how to retain a God-centered view and a joyful homeschool as we enter the new school year. 

America has revealed its heart in every referendum since the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Every state has voted for abortion . . . Kansas . . . Kentucky . . . Montana. . . . Now, Ohio is facing the vote of the century this year. All eyes are on Ohio. What will the heart of this nation do when it comes to voting for or against abortion in the ballot box? Where is the conscience of Ohio? Where is the conscience of the nation? Ohio's Constitutional vote in the 2023 election will be the moment of truth for the nation.

Almost half of Christians say the Bible is ambiguous on its teaching on abortion. Why didn't Jesus speak on abortion or homosexuality? Was He pro-LGBT and pro-abortion? The Old Testament law is important to establish a biblical standard of ethics on abortion. But, some use Old Testament law unlawfully. They do not handle the law in the right way. How would we handle the law as Jesus did, or as the Apostles did in Acts 15 and Matthew 15?

Whether the character of the nation, the character of the political candidates, or the character of the political system is the problem (or all three), America is descending into banana-republic type revolution and wrangling. As author/editor of a 1,000-page American history textbook, Kevin Swanson comments. But what about election fraud? Seventy-five percent of Republicans sure thought so after the 2020 elections. Do they have a reason to doubt the integrity of the election? Of course they do. But the question has more to do with "how much fraud," not so much whether there was fraud. America breaks all the commandments. Why not the 9th commandment too? We get to the major concern with President Trump on this segment.

Support for American colleges is imploding among Republican voters especially. National confidence in universities has imploded . . . 57% from 36% in just seven years. Among Republican-leaning Americans, the drop-off was even more severe from 56% to 19%. Could red-state parents be done sending their kids off to blue-state colleges for indoctrination into the wrong worldviews? But what’s plan B for our kids? 

Homeschooling has over doubled in seven years in the UK. Growth in Africa and South America is following similar increases. Here, we drop in on the Christian Homeschooling conference in Nairobi, Kenya with Liz Gitonga and Brian Ray. What are the factors contributing to the growth? Could the heart of the parent be the major factor? 

All Christians should have their children out of the California public schools by now. But, kudos to the mama bears that are coming out against the state policies. Why is homosexualism and transgenderism the very hill to die on for the left? The modern religion is characterized by autonomy, as expressed in the #1 favorite song chosen in American funerals. Modern man wants to do sexuality, gender, everything . . . “My Way.” 

What could possibly save America? Not thinking the socialist schools will do the job. . . . But then again, do we really want to save America? Obviously, only God can save . . . but what means might He choose to bring about the saving a country from the dry rot of humanism? Where might we find the most salt and light these days? Lots of questions surround a World Magazine article on this edition.

Prohibition. Just say no. Me too. The world’s moralistic fads come and go. They are rooted in inconsistencies, hypocrisies, and superficialities. An occasional arrest results in a conviction, but real substantial justice is a far-fetched notion. As far as the world rejects God’s law as the basis for ethics, they surrender themselves to relativism and the moral slippery slope. We compare the worldly notion of “consent” with God’s law here, and we are assured that God doesn’t let anything slip. He will bring every work into judgment. 

The Barbie Movie is the biggest box office blockbuster of the year so far. But, Barbie was a worldview. She started out a call girl for German men in 1959. She was made both a sex symbol and a feminist at the same time (self-defined, you can be whatever you want to be). She was out to seek role equality for women. Meanwhile, men were reduced to lap dogs, "accessories," partners in sexual sin, irresponsible louts, immature little boys playing computer games, and worst case, "sexual predators." Hers was a terribly destructive worldview for modern society. We end with a basic summary of biblical descriptives for the godly man.
