Humor as Subterfuge: is Culture Discipling the Hearts & Minds of our Children?

The article discusses the impact of humor in media as a tool for normalizing behaviors and ideas that may conflict with Christian values. It highlights how sitcoms and other forms of entertainment use comedy to make certain lifestyles and actions seem acceptable, potentially influencing children's perceptions and values. The author urges parents to be vigilant about the content their children consume, engage in discussions about media choices, and reinforce teachings from the Bible to help navigate the challenges posed by secular culture.


The Biggest Threat to the Next Generation

The article discusses the perceived threat of postmodernism to the next generation, especially those professing Christianity. It highlights how postmodern ideology, which emphasizes relativism and the deconstruction of traditional truths, is pervasive in culture and may lead young Christians to question or abandon their faith. The author suggests that to counteract this influence, teaching and reinforcing biblical principles and the teachings of Jesus are essential.
