The following sermon is by John MacArthur, pastor, author, and Bible teacher with Grace to You.

If you've never contacted Grace to you, we want to send you a free booklet by John called How to Prepare for Christ's Return.

The Bible says to fix your hope on the Lord's return, but until Christ comes back, how should you spend your days?

This booklet answers that important question.

And now unleashing God's truth one verse at a time.

Here is Grace to You Bible teacher John MacArthur.

We want to continue the series that we've been going on for the last few weeks,

Shade for the Children, or sometimes we've called it the war on children.

I think we're all savvy enough in the culture in which we find ourselves today to know that

there is a war on children. It is an educational war on children. It is a psychological war on children. It is a psychological war on children.

It is a political war on children.

But more than that, it is a spiritual war on children and more than that it is a satanic

war on children.

We don't wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, the rulers

of the darkness of this world, and spiritual

wickedness in the heavenlies. It is a spiritual war on children. It takes many forms. Right now,

it is dominated by a mentality that I would choose to call the anti-truth culture.

and that meant we were searching for truth, and that was followed by postmodern, which meant

we were no longer searching for truth.
