Today’s generation can hardly imagine what it was like in the local schools across our nation in the past. Before the dawning of the “age of Aquarius” in the 1960s nobody would have imagined the subsequent plundering of public education by secular atheists. American society once considered it normal to focus on the development of the inner man and personal integrity. Morality in culture was highly esteemed. So was an intense pursuit of Scriptural wisdom. The school teachers and communities of Early American school houses deliberately prioritized those concepts. At their hearts, American communities believed that the education of their children was built on the premise that virtue is absolutely essential to freedom.

The ridiculous problems that every common-sense American sees corrupting our society’s institutions today realizes the source. Even if President Abe Lincoln didn’t really originate the idea, who can doubt the fact that “The philosophy of the classroom today will be the philosophy of government tomorrow?”

When God’s people recognize that the path of the society around them is collapsing, the prophets of the Bible give us an unmistakably clear assignment, if we’re willing to accept it… Be a generation called to rebuild the ancient paths.
The confusion and uncertainty assaulting humanity worldwide today is being identified by many as an all-out strategy of destructive warfare from the Enemy of mankind himself. So, what is the ‘assignment’ God has for His people in the middle of such alarming chaos?
The 58th chapter of the prophet Isaiah declares clearly, Almighty God’s displeasure with the superficial, self-centered, and hypocritically empty religious rituals of His people. Instead, He desires a deeper and personally more authentic form of worship, defined by distinctive actions. And biblical worship – let’s not miss it – is a sacrificially devoted spiritual life-style, not just a weekly religious exercise.
