Brothers, I’m giving thanks to God! I am thankful for our homeschool community. Thankful for all of you, and often pray for each of you. Thankful for engaged fathers and the kingdom impact it will have. I am thankful, Lord.
“Only strong families can weather the cultural storms of Babylon. “Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease” (Jer. 29:6)… How can you raise children in a pagan environment? In Judaism, there were strong fathers who took responsibility for the home. The father led his family in the Passover rituals; fathers were charged with teaching children the Word of God. And God knew that with strong fathers, grounded in the Word of God, these families could survive paganism. With strong families, God would have future seed, and the message of His gospel (as understood in Old Testament times) would flourish. God needed children so that a future generation would be able to return to the land and continue His work. So God said, “Have families in the midst of this pagan culture.” Thankfully, their children probably did not have to attend Babylonian schools.”

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace… as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth… And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.” Ephesians 1:7, 10, 22-23 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/eph.1.22.ESV
Raise up men! Call out civil authorities that are not fulfilling their role as ministers of God (Rom. 13)
“This is the theme repeatedly affirmed … by Bethany Christian Services. The effort was to (allegedly) teach adoptive families how to be “anti-racist.” So, the best way to teach people about the evils of racism is to be…racist. Sounds really healing.”
“Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can’t happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not By Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance.”
“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next.”
“When Yelena first came from Russia to the United States as a high school exchange student, she was befriended by several homeschoolers. At first, the idea of homeschooling appalled her. So how did she and her husband end up homeschooling in Kentucky?”

“Over the summer, I read several books on hyperinflation. Here are a few things I learned: 1. Nearly everyone gets wiped out. 2. Food was scarce. 3. Those that owned the means of production of raw materials — lumber, ore, mines, crops, etc. — got richer. One thing I’ve started doing is pricing financial assets in the means of production.”

“I will drink the Kool-Aid. I will obey the Brights, defer to the experts, suspend my independent judgment… my thoughts will shift, as seamlessly as the channels on my Roku, to the new message they’re beaming out… Masks didn’t work for several months. But now they do, in fact they’re absolutely vital to saving lives. Except they won’t make any difference unless I’m vaccinated. Then I’m perfectly safe, except if any gross, filthy, racist unvaxed people come around. Then I’m in danger all over again. Because I got the shot that’s supposed to prevent me from dying from COVID, or spreading it. And they didn’t get the shot, so they pose a threat to me…”

“Russia successfully destroyed the COSMOS 1408, an old intelligence satellite abandoned in space since 1984. A direct-ascent anti-satellite (ASAT) missile hit the COSMOS 1408, generating “hundreds of thousands of pieces” of space debris, according to NASA. U.S. officials accused Russia of pursuing space weapon systems that “undermine [U.S.] strategic stability.” (Analyst Comment: The message is that Russia is prepared to end America’s GPS access. The U.S. doesn’t acknowledge its own ASAT capabilities, but this is a preview of the potential chaos unleashed in near-earth orbit should a shooting war erupt. – D.M.)”

“Through interviews with Christian dissidents who lived under communist rule, Dreher offers a way to inoculate ourselves from the scourge of soft totalitarianism: We must be “willing to suffer for truth, to live not by lies,” to “reject doublethink and fight for free speech,” even if that costs us our business, a salary increase, the ability to travel, loss of reputation, or our kids’ ability to get into college.”
“The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times. You, O Lord, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.

“‘The greatest danger to me is me! If I’m not disciplined and I don’t keep God first in my life. It’s as simple as that,’ says Brian. Brian has learned that by living an intentional life, every chore can become a spiritual act of worship. ‘Getting wood. Hauling water. Cooking. Cleaning. Keeping ahead of the seasonal changes and making sure you’re stocked up. Exercising your body, which isn’t too hard to do. But I think My life could best be described as the perfection of vital activity. That’s what I engage in. How can I become better at any given task at any time to become more efficient, more safe, and productive. And there’s a joy in that!’”

Brothers, today I’m praying for the community in light of current events and the play to use administrative regulation to coerce private companies to enforce unlawful mandates. We may have those that lose jobs in our churches and community or otherwise have to wrestle with this decision. And if the state forces vaccines for children in government schools we may see many families needing help and encouragement to homeschool. I’m praying that we love and serve one another well in our CC and church communities through these times. Finally, I pray that our love for one another in our community would bear witness to the love of God in the larger community. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14
“Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you!”

More evidence of FBI stormtrooper Jan. 6 black flag operations
“What if the provocateurs, infiltrators and escalators of illegal activities weren’t coming from Antifa or BLM? What if they were coming straight from the FBI? … the Ray Epps story seems to suggest a similar, yet more egregious, explicit, direct and immediate degree of federal involvement in the breach of the Capitol itself.”
“Has the FBI gone into the business of helping the political party in power, by infiltrating and entrapping its opponents? That’s how the East German Stasi used to operate. And of course, the Ministry of Love in the novel 1984.”

Reminder, your children belong to God. Money, in Matthew 22 a denarius (Matt. 22:21), has the states “likeness.” Therefore, we pay our taxes to the state. Our money is political (not to be confused with labor!). But our children and we ourselves have God’s “likeness” (Gen. 1:26), therefore we belong to God. We are pre-political. https://ministry.family.blog/2021/08/01/tyranny-politics-and-the-pre-political/

The Perfect Police State: An Undercover Odyssey into China’s Terrifying Surveillance Dystopia of the Future by Geoffrey Cain
“I had come with the intention of discovering how China had built the most sophisticated surveillance apparatus humanity had ever seen. I thought I could get a glimpse of how artificial intelligence and China’s vast camera surveillance network operated, maybe through the occasional comment from a local, or through run-ins with the police that I could then use for my reporting. Instead, I felt overwhelmingly that the state was reporting on me.”

““You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”
“Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.””

Brothers, today I’m praying for the community. Praying that we love and serve one another in the grace and mercy of God because He first loved us. Every family in our CC community will have joys and challenges and I pray we love and serve one another and rejoice and morn with one another. Finally, I pray that our love for one another in our community would bear witness to the love of God in the larger community.
“In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us… We love because he first loved us… And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.”
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
“And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,”
Praying that we embrace “[our] responsibility to raise up the next generation to know Christ and His world… steeping them in the truth, goodness, and beauty of Christ and His ways… training them to believe and obey the King of the world.” (1)
I pray that we and our children would “follow Jesus at all times and in all places… in marriage, vocation, education, military service, recreation, financial exchanges, and political decisions.” (1)
And I pray that our faith would be so strong that like Paul and the other Apostles people would say “These men.. have turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6 ) and that our witness would “shutdown the very industry of idol making (Acts 19:27).” (1)
““Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the rules—that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it … You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”
