Our posistion on Parental Rights & Responsibilities
Children are a gift from God trusted into our care. We are to
train them up in the way they should go.
We either
abdicate that responsibility or it is stolen from us.
Socialism, Communism, dictators and Liberalism seek to
seize control of our children and their thoughts.
God Institutes Marriage & Family:
Genesis 1:27, 28 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Care For The Children:
