Witchcraft threatens our children

"They open themselves to the evil forces of this world and draw others with them. "

"They open themselves to the evil forces of this world and draw others with them. "

If one had a passion to bring the Gospel message into the schools, how would one go about doing that? The Catholic schools are receiving it, but my concern is for the state and semi-private schools, where religions are diverse and Christianity has lost its place.

We can educate our children at home, but at the schools we cannot choose their friends, and the influences they have on our children.

My concern is also for the children who are misled by the immorality shown on television and the immoral upbringing in some broken homes, experimenting in witchcraft, sex and drugs.

Children and adults are misled by the assumption that there are �good� and �bad� wiccans (witches), that its OK to be a wiccan, as long as they are a �good� wiccan. They open themselves to the evil forces of this world and draw others with them.

A parent is not aware of these exposures to our children and the need to bring the truth to them, unless the spirit of truth reveals it to them through their encounter with these misled children.

How does one go about bringing this knowledge to schools that do not accept infringement upon other religions, and witchcraft and occult are seen as �religions�.

Children and adults need to be equipped with the biblical truth of the will of God, to know what is right and wrong:

�Let there be no one among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practises divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord� (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).

There is a great need to bring the biblical truths to our children, and to the schools.

Let us join in prayer to ask God to make a way! This is a project that could bring hope, joy and light to our children in a dark world.
