But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful,
proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control,
brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God...
While this prophecy applies to ungodly behavior of people of all ages, the phrase "disobedient to their parents" shows that it
is especially true of many teens and young adults. Of course, they are not intrinsically worse than previous generations,
but they are the ones who have inherited an extremely troubled world, and understandably do not have much faith in a peaceful and prosperous
future. Their temptations to addictive substances and immoral activities are intense. They are the victims of the
apostasy of our end-times generation.
On the other hand, if the Lord sends us the revival that we need and desire,
young people will lead the way, or at least be a vital part of such a wonderful event. There are already many promising movements that could
lead to a full-grown "Great Awakening," and hundreds of thousands of young people who are faithful disciples of The Lord Jesus Christ."

people were looking into the problem.
Just months after taking control of America’s education system with its federally imposed Common Core, the Obama administration unloaded its
colossal regulatory agenda on the eve of a major holiday (Thanksgiving) to reportedly avoid major detection.
Opponents to the new package of 3,415 regulations, known as the federal Unified Agenda, claim that, if it is approved, it will limit the
ability of states, local school districts and parents to decide what children should learn.
