See to It That No One Takes You Captive: The Basic Assumptions of Cultural Marxism
We could use some help. Children and grandchildren brought up in a Christian home spend time on social media, go to school, hang out with friends, venture off to college, and end up embracing strange beliefs far removed from reality and the Christian truths they learned in church, confirmation, and the home. At the forefront of today’s deceptive philosophies is Cultural Marxism, embedded most everywhere and often hard to recognize. That is because cultural Marxists utilize the same vocabulary and categories we do, but a different dictionary. This presentation is designed to explain the assumptions that make up this worldview, provide examples of how it is manifested, encourage discernment grounded in truth, and direct the Christian to the comforting and powerful gospel in word and sacrament so he will be able to walk faithfully and confidently with his Savior in a hostile world.
