7 Threats In Our Times - Threat 7 - The Attack Upon the Biblical Family

"Of all the social institutions designed by God, I suppose none is under greater attack than the family." "If you pierce the family, you pierce its society." "When Marx and Engels declared "Abolish the family!" their worldview reflected the heart of Satan's strategy to destroy relationships because that attacks the very heart of the nature of God. This includes the destruction of every other social institution because they also carry the relational design of God." Website - www.cwicmedia.com

7 Threats Of Our Times - Threat 6 - Addicted and Soft, Dependent and Lost - Dr. Del Tackett

Has the underbelly of society been weakened? Have we been weened onto addiction and dependence? Have we lost our way? Teenagers spend an average of 9 hours/day with their phones and entertainment, adults, 6 hours. Dividing society into victim and oppressor (Critical Theory) means most people will make a decision on which group they want to participate in and almost all will pick being a victim. Meritocracy is now a pejorative to the new society. Dependence is where it is at. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

The 7 Threats Of Our Time - Threat #5 - Rise Of A Demonic Worldview and The National Rift

Most of the newer ideologies today are simply repackaged Marxism. Many don't want to hear that. Some will say it is conspiratorial, others that it is not true. But anyone who really studies these secular "philosophies of men" or even listens to what the movers and shakers of these ideologies actually say, cannot walk away without an understanding that this is exactly what it is. As these Marxian, "Woke" ideologies pull us further into secularism and away from Christianity and even the founding principles of America, they create a divide in the culture. Marxism and its descendant ideologies are worldviews. Not just a political position or random idea. They require your heart, might, mind, and strength. Sound familiar? Website - www.cwicmedia.com

LDS Parents Losing Daughter To Insane Gender Ideology

Gender Clinics in the US have grown from 1 in 2007 to well over 300 today. In 2018 the UK reported that adolescent girls seeking gender treatment had increased by 4,400% over the previous decade. The Ideology behind this virus is Queer Theory. Its advocates do all they can to spread this contagion. I get messages from a number of parents who are or who have gone through this exact experience. It is heartbreaking. These teenage girls (some early 20s) lose their own identity and are caught up through social media and friend groups in a new social phenomenon called, "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria." And it is accelerating. Ben and Tami Wright bravely share their experience with their daughter. How it happened, what they have gone through, and how you might avoid it. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

7 Threats in Our Times - Threat 4 - The Consolidation Of Massive Earthly Power - Del Tackett

"One of the most fascinating aspects of God's nature is that He delegates authority and power." God's truth is based on order and hierarchy. We receive God's word but then are charged with sharing that word. One way of going against God's order is to consolidate power to yourself. This is antithetical to God's modus operandi. This consolidation of power also creates dependents, which destroys incentive and personal responsibility. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

7 Threats in Our Times - Threat 3 - The Loss of the Noble Male and the Rise of Malevolent Compassion

What has happenned to the men (Noble Male) in the West? What happens when compassion is "untethered?" Culture cannot function properly without the balance of men and women. The Noble Male is driven by two engines, as on a train. The first engine is truth, righteousness and wisdom; the second is grace and compassion. He is primarily driven by a zeal for truth and righteousness, but it is tethered by grace and compassion. The Virtuous Female is driven by the same two engines, but they are in reverse order. She is driven first by grace and compassion, but this is tethered by truth, righteousness and wisdom. As we pull apart gender and identity as well as marriage, we accelerate the destruction of society. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

7 Threats in Our Times - Threat 2- "Homo Deus and Meo Christianity" -Del Tackett

"One of the first things that happens when a culture loses the larger story of God is that there is only one story left—mine." A loss of our identity as Children of God, means that other identities rise in society's values. We become more prideful. Instead of us being in God's image, we make God in our image.

The Dangers of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - Erec Smith

I have been following Erec Smith for at least the last couple of years. Erec resigned as a 'Diversity Officer" once he saw the dangers of how this industry is framing the work and the vocabulary. He gives us some inside baseball on DEI and its goals. DEI makes a lot of sense "if your goal is social transformation . . revolutionizing society, getting rid of powers that be and establishing something else." "If you can make people question the very fundamentals of that society then that society will eventually hobble and eventually fall." Erec is a Co-Founder and Co-Editor of Free Black Thought, a visiting scholar for Cato Institute, and an Associate Professor of Rhetoric. Who controls the meaning of words? www.cwicmedia.com

Cancelling David O McKay At BYU Hawaii

The famous David O. McKay mural is apparently on the chopping block. But suspect reasons for its destruction are plenty. Many on and off campus believe the move is political. This is an intriguing and meaningful story. No room has been allowed for donors who want to preserve the mural which could be removed as soon as June. The mural is an iconic tie to the legacy and heritage of Polynesian members of the church. Imagine losing the "This Is The Place" monument! Website - www.cwicmedia.com
