“The Battle for Truth” # 4 Jude 1:20-23

TRANSCRIPT

Date: July 29, 2026 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Of all the biblical values Americans have held sacred over the years, perhaps the most important one came from Psalm 127:3-5, where the writer said: “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.” However, in today’s America, adults are destroying their children in the womb, killing those who survive the abortion procedure, sexualizing those who make it to childhood, and injecting them with vaccines that have been proven to be dangerous, if not, in some cases, deadly. Those who survive physically are attacked mentally, emotionally, and spiritually by exposing them to demonically possessed men dressed as women, who tell their lies about heroic LGBT characters, and how they can grow up to be just like them. Our older children are systematically sexualized in our government-run schools, LGBT clubs after school, and on social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and many others. And, if that weren’t enough, rather than being educated, our children are being indoctrinated with Marxist ideologies, teaching the children to hate their parents, hate their race, hate America, and, above all, hate all forms of the Christian Faith. Beloved, this WOKE agenda is not only robbing our children of their innocence, but it is also deliberately destroying their very souls. This multi-front war on our children is Satan’s attempt to destroy the American family, and to train the next generation of ideologically brainwashed, spiritually dead children to be obedient citizens of the New World Order. No generation has lived with as many lies and liars as the one in which we live today, which is why we cannot afford to lose this “Battle for the Truth!” Wednesday at 6:00 PM, we will continue our study of the Epistle of Jude, written by Jesus’ half-brother, Jude, warning those first-century Christians about the corrupt teachers who had infiltrated the church. Jude calls believers to “Earnestly Contend for the Faith.” This will be a clarion call for pastors and parents to assume their God-given responsibility to stand for the truth of God’s Word, and to hand it down to those under their charge. THANK YOU for the encouragement! Pastor Wayne

Old Testament Reading – Psalm 25:1-22 New Testament Reading – 2 Timothy 3:1-17

After establishing the authority, sufficiency, and supremacy of the Scriptures in 2 Timothy 3:14-17, in the first two verses of 2 Timothy 4, the Apostle Paul gave Timothy what is known as the “Pastor’s Charge!”

Likewise, if we are to preserve our children from further spiritual and moral degradation, parents must also assume their God-given assignment to train their children in the way they should go rather than the way the world wants them to go.

There was a time in our nation when children were viewed as “a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the womb [was] a reward.” (Psalm 127)

In our battle for truth, pastors and parents must preach and teach the Holy Scriptures to preserve and protect our children from all of the deceptive lies of the evil one and to free those who have already been deceived or are being deceived.

According to The Baptist Faith and Message: “ The Holy Bible is the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.” (Timothy 3:15-17) Therefore, to prepare our children for the future and to protect their innocence, we must tell them the absolute truth according to the Word of God, beginning with these ten principles regarding their sexuality.

According to Lifeway Publishers, if the current trend continues, by 2030, 70% of today’s youth will not identify as Christians.
