Harmful Apps and Platforms

Honestly moms, if we don’t know the social media platform, it’s like letting our children go to a stranger’s house. It might look harmless and fun, but there’s a lot more going on. The stranger’s house is actually a neighborhood filled with strangers who make it their life’s mission to teach visitors about life.

Do you want your child to plug into this neighborhood where strangers share tempting lessons about life through their ungodly ideas and images? Can we really trust an adolescent’s ability to refrain from temptation when the word of God says “foolishness is bound in the heart of a child”?

Tumblr, Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter are just a small sliver of apps that have loose controls about access to pornographic images and unclean lusts. Tumblr is mostly comprised of youth under 30 and it has tons of satanism, witchcraft, and lgbt.

Lock the Devices

Many devices contain parental controls, which help you as a parent or provider. Your child may enjoy access to the right things without getting caught up in the wrong.

Yet still, check the devices and apps your son or daughter uses. Teens do not have a right to privacy as harmful avenues exist. Private internet access bears a multitude of temptations and consequences for any dependent child in development whether preschool or pre-adult.

Some tech tips:

• Remove technology entirely replacing it with healthy family activities.
• Require children to return devices to mom and dad at bedtime instead of allowing devices in the bedroom and disconnect Bluetooth.
• Enable restrictions on iphones/ipads and update your parental password if you made it too easy for your kids to decipher.
• Put your thumb ID in their iPhone so you can access it at any time.
• Monitor your child’s computer use through Norton 360 and have them in your presence during their access.
• Don’t allow library computer use unless you are with them. Libraries are a haven for abuse.
• Don’t allow friends or relatives to hand their devices over to the kids especially unattended.
• Teach conscious blinking. Our eyes blink less when we are on devices, which reduces oil secretion and creates dry eyes. This can cause other problems. Blink often.

TV Programs

I’ve been a fan of PBS for a long time. We love the schooling support and the racial diversity. However, Sesame Street officially decided that it is okay to teach your son that he can wear a pink tutu and crown. That is not okay due to God’s perspective and most mothers I think want their sons to grow into men. They attempted to tackle “gender identity” without parental permission. Of course, this is not the only show. Doc McStuffins aired two moms as a couple. Disney channel added a gay character to one of the teen shows. 9 Added 3/8/2019.

Also, other cable channels prove difficult to control. CBS Sunday Morning and ESPN aired a lesbian liplock, Jared runs commercials with men kissing. Even some pharmaceutical commercials are doing it. LG aired a BTS commercial (Highlighting LG+BTS [LGBTs]); these are some examples that working Christian parents, especially single mothers, will not want their children to see. Moreover, they may not realize it is airing.

Additionally, cable television has embraced outright satanic programming, which is terribly shocking.

Many people are cutting cable to control the media in their household.10 I wrote an article about cutting cable, but I haven’t published it. If you want me to publish it, tell me through the feedback button. If Christians want to combat the rise of this programming, they must make a conscious choice to cut it off and change their media consumption habits and they have to start sharing the message among their friends.

Some media tips:

• Remove TVs from all adolescent rooms.
• Consider limiting television access to adults only and only allow specific, monitored internet television (e.g., Amazon Prime, Pure Flix) times for kids, which is often commercial-free and customizable.
• Try the BBN app. It has a radio program called Unshackled that features true, dramatic Christian stories.

Addictive Gaming

Studies show that children develop addictions to their devices. Some long-term, negative effects include adverse changes in behavior, lack of social skills, and a higher suicide rate.

Some gaming tips:

• Avoid frivolous games on the iPad. Only add learning games.
• Avoid addictive games such as Pokémon and Minecraft.
• Limit games to one hour.
• Allow games only on weekends.
• Subtract game time for bad behavior.

Christian Moms, Why Not Write for Kids?

As with television media, non-Christian publishers, agents, and writing organizations are making a concerted effort to raise up the LGBT community. Even though the Bible is comprised of historical documents from the witnesses of God and of His creation—and we have substantial excavation evidence 11 e.g., The existence of biblical people (including eunuchs), events such as the flood of Noah, and of other places (such as Sodom) — the overall concept of LGBT+ is evolution of gender; many genders and gender neutrality.12 Gender neutrality is the ideology that everyone is gender fluid and so everyone should choose their own gender defined by their thoughts and emotions rather than by their biological genitalia. Additionally, the industry uses buzzwords calling for inclusivity and marginalized voices (e.g., race, nationality, disability, multi-racial, religions, and sexual orientation using the hashtag ownvoices), but their focus tends toward LGBT.

Another red flag includes certain book peddlers who shame parents with statements like,

“Children are more open-minded than adults.”

and

“Parents should allow their children to choose what they want to read.”

or

Morality tales are over-rated and inauthentic. Children are smarter than that.

Often this is not about building reading skills. Instead, it is about teachers and librarians having the authority to give questionable books to children without parental consent.

So, think about these facts for a moment.

Homosexuals do not procreate.

Homosexual men commit up to one-third of all child molestation cases even though they are less than 4% of the population.

Out of the convicted molester, many of them with homosexual tendencies marry and have children.

81% of clergy abuse victims are boys

This article above also stated: 89% of all Catholic priest molestations were due to homosexuality and Homosexuals are 16 times more likely to molest a same-sex child.

Bishop Robert Morlino was a Catholic who claimed that there is a homosexual subculture in the Catholic church that is to blame for the child sexual abuse crisis.

The National Institute of Health reports that homosexuals have a greater propensity to molest. “Using phallometric test sensitivities to calculate the proportion of true pedophiles among various groups of sex offenders against children, and taking into consideration previously reported mean numbers of victims per offender group, the ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles was calculated to be approximately 11:1. This suggests that the resulting proportion of true pedophiles among persons with a homosexual erotic development is greater than that in persons who develop heterosexually.” – National Institute of Health – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1556756

No reduction in depression and suicidality of gays even in a tolerant society. 

Homosexuals are 6-20 times more likely to molest.

This is due to what we have learned from God that this is about unclean lusts and demonic oppression rather than gender choice.

Yet, to avoid being called “homophobic,” the media industries I named are radically embracing homosexuality, homosexual children’s books, and homosexual programming and opening this up to our children, which puts them in harm’s way.

If you haven’t noticed, planting gender-identity books in stores, libraries, and schools has increased from 2016. Researching every book for your child will not guard them enough as more LGBT media is released in all outlets.

Certain publishing-connected companies known for supporting these ideas are: Scholastic, American Library Association, School Library Journal, Children’s Book Council, American Psychological Association, We Need Diverse Books, SCBWI, The Horn Book, all the large publishing houses, and many small presses. As you can see, this is a direct line to publishing to the public school and library systems.

Some of the best things you can do are remain diligent about researching books, educate your child and friends, and show yourself holy. Holiness and peace are how people see God.

When visiting your local library, request Christian titles from the librarian or request titles through your library’s form online instead of having children wander around to find books. Visit pluggedin.com for book reviews from a Christian perspective.

Homeschooling is also an option and Christian school might be, but nowadays many loosely translate Christian in their lifestyles. Learning to write books for children is another alternative to support the Christian publishing industry.

Some book tips:

• If you have questionable books, rip them up. Burn them. Throw them away. Do not give them away.
• Research books.
• Search for appropriate books.
• Ask your child’s teacher and your child’s principal about the book reading policies and your right to request alternatives.

Final Takeaways

Christian parents should not take these facts lightly. The exponential growth of pornography coupled with the publishing industry’s desire to embrace new gender roles, the world is becoming like Sodom. Even sites like Common Sense Media support unclean lusts and effeminate ideas as normal and healthy for children. Families and churches must sit down and discuss actions to nurture the development of their children because demonic oppression and temptation is not a joke. Be a missionary because this is your mission.

• Hold group sessions with friends and family and discuss these harmful aspects openly with the children. SHARING THIS INFORMATION CAN SAVE A SOUL.
• Hold a homeschool meeting to inform parents and give handouts.
• Know the parents of your child’s friends.
• Children should play openly rather than behind closed doors without adult supervision. It is no longer easy to know what other children are accessing.
• To contribute healthy Christian media to the world, learn to write for kids.
• Act now and be diligent.

[15] I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. [16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [17] Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth. ~John 17:15-17 KJV [Jesus’ prayer to the Heavenly Father]

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient [contribute to /profitable for — godliness]: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. ~1 Corinthians 6:12 KJV
