It behooves Christians to accept the responsibility of becoming informed about the numerous threats to "homeland security..".to the security of our homes. However, our quest should not end there...we must identify and implement strategies found in God's Word to combat these attacks. Some of these concerns have sources that are economical, educational, societal, familial (new laws are being enacted that attack and redefine acceptable family structure), moral, emotional, psychological and vocational. It is the objective of the present series of lectures to initiate a dialogue that will continue after the lectureship ends. Christians must continue to be people of vision...people of foresight. We must unveil the future, so that we can clearly identify the paths to take. Clearly, we are admonished..."Where there is no vision, the people perish..." (Proverbs 29:18) It is anticipated that the availability of these lectures in print will be of a source of continuous courage to you to remain constantly aware of Satan's devices to challenge and destroy our families Christians, sharpen your swords (Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17) - Greg Selby, Editor
