Spiritual Warfare Moral Excellence – Part 3 Impacting Our Kids Towards Moral Excellence Ken Birks, Pastor/Teacher I. Introductory Remarks. Isaiah 59:14 Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. In the last couple of messages we have seen what we as a society and a culture are up against. We have seen that there is a tide of immorality and wickedness that is sweeping our nation. We have seen that this is a direct result of the foundation of truth being removed from our culture and nation. The various strata of our society and nation are no longer being governed by the Judeo/Christian ethics that many of us grew up with, because truth has been assaulted in the streets by the father of lies. John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. Unfortunately, it is our children who are being affected by Satans lies the most. They are growing up in a society with the absence of moral absolutes that come forth from the Word of the Lord, which is the measuring rod for all truth. Psalms 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right, And all His work is done in truth. Our children are part of a generation that is being taught that truth is whatever is right for each individual, which results in each person doing what is right in their own eyes, where all ideas of right and wrong are now a matter of personal taste, emotional preference or cultural choice.

Educators are teaching his lies as truths. To see how far reaching Satans lies are listen to this: Alan Bloom in his book C
