The antidote to indoctrination is to tell the truth, expose people to the lies that would deceive them, show them how to refute this lies, and prepare them with the thinking skills necessary to continue resisting falsehoods.

The Methodist Federation for Social Action was first organized by Dr. Henry Ward. Its objective was to transform the Methodist Church and Christianity into an instrument for the achievement of socialism.

“Forgive our sins as we forgive,”
You taught us, Lord, to pray;
But You alone can grant us grace
To live the words we say.
How can Your pardon reach and bless
The unforgiving heart
That broods on wrongs and will not let
Old bitterness depart?
In blazing light Your cross reveals
The truth we dimly knew:
How trifling others’ debts to us;
How great our debt to You!
Lord, cleanse the depths within our souls
And bid resentment cease;
Then, by Your mercy reconciled,
Our lives will spread Your peace.

It was determined that with only small forces available it would be necessary to concentrate communist agents in seminaries and divinity schools. These institutions would make it possible for a small communist minority to influence the ideology of future clergymen. The idea was to divert the emphasis from the spiritual to the material.

This post is part one of examining Chapter 3: To Inspire Mighty Men! of Bill Gothard’s book, 7 Basic Needs of a Wife.
For some reason Gothard wants to make women a greater sex than men and he gets totally ridiculous with his “proofs.”
The Need for Mighty Men of Valor
Mighty men of valor do not “just happen.” They need to be inspired by someone who can picture achievement for them. This is the challenge for a Godly wife, because it is for the protection of his wife and children that a man will go out to a battle and if need by, lay down his life.
