I found out that some of the families in the home school group where I use to live are taking their children on a field trip this September to and event called The Burning Man festival in black Rock city Nevada.The purpose is to expose them to different ideas, philosophy, and art. This event is filled with all sorts of stuff that is not suitable for children. Anyway if you feel led please pray for these children they will be exposed to much that is just evil and wicked...

God bless

This is awful! I will certainly be praying. That event is clearly not something those children need to be exposed to. One of the main problems the youth are facing today stems from this. They are shown many beliefs and taught several doctrines without a line being drawn between what is right and what is wrong.

Our Lord said 'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.' (Matthew 25:35). So as you help feed some of the poorest believers in the world in North Korea you are feeding Jesus Christ. And by giving Bibles to those believers who have no access to Scriptures you are equpping believers to be disciples of Jesus Christ to share the Good News with a lost world.

This is one of those topics that causes me to ask Christians What kind of world is it they are living in? I think too many Christians shelter their kids too much and then when they are on their own they can't handle it because they have not be exposed to certain things in life. I had a friend who did this to her daughters,guess what? 2 of her daughters got pregnant as a result. When we keep Christians out of a culture and keep them shelter they will eventually go astray as a result. It is like the cow in a pen, he is going to reach through the fence to get that grass because it is out of his territory.

I am familiar with the Burning Man festival. A responsible parent, taking their kid there would go there for the enjoyment of the whole thing. They would go there to be exposed to the culture and use it as a teaching experience so that the kids are exposed to the 'other side of life' if you will. Young kids, it wouldn't be a good idea unless they are smarter than their britches, lol.

Knowing what I know, I completely disagree with all that you said. I won't debate about it though. I just simply was asking for prayer for these children from those who felt lead.

God Bless

I understand and agree about prayer in regards to the Burning Man festival. I just get annoyed sometimes when some families want to shield their kids from certain things. It is like keeping them from getting sick when you know they need to get sick to build up the antibodies.

I will say no more about it.

Take care and Godspeed to you......
