The Ominous “Success”of Re-Education
by Berit Kjos
October 5, 2009
“The purpose of education and the schools is to change the thoughts, feelings and actions of students.” [1]
“As the home and church decline in influence… schools must begin to provide adequately for the emotional and moral development of children. …The school… must assume a direct responsibility for the attitudes and values of child development. The child advocate, psychologist, social technician, and medical technician should all reach aggressively into the community, send workers out to children’s homes….” ” Continue reading »

“‘Hear this now, O foolish people, without understanding,
who have eyes and see not, and who have ears and hear not:
Do you not fear Me?’ says the Lord. ‘Will you not tremble at My presence…?’
But this people has a defiant and rebellious heart;
They have revolted and departed.
They do not say in their heart, ‘let us now fear the Lord our God,
Who gives rain… in its season…’” Jeremiah 5:21-24 Continue reading »

While church leaders prompt their followers to see the movie, buy their books, and “engage the culture” through dialogue, many Christians question this strategy. But not author Dan Brown! He welcomes the public controversy. He knows that it fuels a useful global dialogue that gradually pulls the diverse readers toward a new “common ground.” “The dialogue is wonderful,” he tells us. “…the debate that is being generated is a positive powerful force. The more vigorously we debate these topics, the better our understanding of our own spirituality. Controversy and dialogue are healthy for religion as a whole. [1] He is right about the power of dialogue between opposing forces. This public process affects every participant, whether they realize it or not! [See Brainwashing in America] As happened through the homosexual agenda, constant exposure evaporates the shock and disgust of evil. Even those who feel equipped to defend the truth will be pressured to set aside their Biblical “certainties” for the sake of unity. In fact, the ground rules for this dialectic process have already become familiar and normal to believers as well as unbelievers across America. Ponder the effect of these points:Â Continue reading »

Review of the book: Order of the Phoenix
“…it can’t be much darker – or more dramatic – than the challenge the young wizard faces with the re-emergence of Lord Voldemort…. Claiming to have seen the mysterious Voldemort, Harry is met with disbelief and derision … and the suspicion that he’s a liar rapidly spreads through the school. More than ever before, the thing that makes Harry special also makes him an outcast.” [1] Movie review Continue reading »

A rebuttal to Brian McLaren’s new book:
The Secret Message of Jesus: Uncovering the Truth that Could Change Everything
Where is the Kingdom of God? How inclusive is it? Who defines the terms?
“What if Jesus’ secret message reveals a secret plan?” asks Brian McLaren in his new book, The Secret Message of Jesus. “What if he didn’t come to start a new religion–but rather came to start a political, social, religious, artistic, economic, intellectual, and spiritual revolution that would give birth to a new world?

The significance of this phrase is that it is believed to hold the key to all mysteries. All systems of magic are claimed to function by this formula. ‘That which is above is the same as that which is below.” Continue reading »

“All too often we have concentrated on great truths of the Bible, such as the cross of Jesus, but have failed to apply them to other biblical truths, such as creation. In the process we have impoverished ourselves, and supported a culture broadly careless about the stewardship of the earth and negligent of the arts and the creative centers of society.” [4] Continue reading »
