Why Obama’s (Socialistic) Plan Will Not Work

Relativism: The Most Perilous Threat to a Free Society

Relativism:  a theory that conceptions of truth and moral values are not absolute but are relative to the persons or groups holding them.  Great, 3 min. clip warning us to fight relativism.  And may I add my own reminder…as goes the church, so goes the culture.

Interesting…a reader sent me this quote:

Radical Gay Activist Appointed to the Department of Education

Hat tip to Tawny…

Kevin Jennings, radical gay activist, has been appointed to the Department of Education, in charge of the “Safe Schools” program.

If you are a Christian and have children in public school, make sure you read this…

(I might as well state the disclaimer right up front…this is a Christian blog.  And as such, I firmly believe that homosexuality is an abomination to God.  That does NOT mean I hate homosexuals or promote hatred for them.  I am no more anti-gay than I am anti-cohabitation.  I’m anti-immorality, whatever form it takes.  So if you comment to blast me for “hating”, don’t.  I’ll delete the comment because you’re incorrect.  This is not the place to try to convince me that immorality should be accepted and taught to our children.  You won’t.)

I wanted to offer yet another reason Christians must strongly consider whether it is acceptable to allow our children to be taught by the state.  And let me prod you to think about this…if we truly uphold all lifestyles of sin as sin, making no distinction about “levels”, why are we so easily outraged about a homosexual agenda being taught to our children, but we’re not bothered by the humanist agenda?  Or by the immorality being taught in the health classes under the guise of  “sex education”?  Or by the other teachings that oppose what we believe about God and truth?   Let’s give no allowance to be called hypocrites.  In my opinion, this is not a better reason to remove our children fro public schools; it’s just another one.

Obama has appointed Kevin Jennings as Assistant Deputy Secretary at the Department of Education.  Kevin Jennings is the founder and head of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).  He is operating under the guise of promoting “safe schools”, where he claims his agenda is to protect children from harassment regardless of their sexual orientation.

But if there are any doubts about how this agenda is promoted, in a nutshell, they try to inundate people (read in this case “students”) with the language, expressions and familiarity of the homosexual lifestyle to “break down barriers” placed by “prejudice and ignorance”.  That’s their version and Jennings admits that “the affirmation of the lifestyle equals ’safety’ “.

It should be noted, that in order to desensitize children to the homosexual lifestyle, they have to be desensitized to immorality altogether. You can’t convince children that homosexuality is OK, until you first convince them that sex–in any form–is OK (it’s happening in Britain schools).  Folks, in case you didn’t know, we are witnessing a time in history when you are called “ignorant” for teaching your children that sex before marriage is wrong.  Or that virtually anything is wrong, for that matter.  There is no wrong; only choices.  And the state plans to “set right” that ignorant brainwashing by teaching your children otherwise. I’m not being hyper, I promise.  Ultimately, the religion of tolerance (America’s religion of choice) forces the state to keep pushing back anything established as *wrong*.    After all, being wrong may hurt my feelings.

If you feel brave enough to investigate what kind of sick, disgusting things are being taught at the GLSEN conferences (the group Jennings heads up), it may help you to understand that I’m not being an alarmist.  But I will warn you that what I read from a Massachusetts’ conference (my audio didn’t work) is jaw-dropping explicit–bordering sadism.  The conferences receive federal funding, are supported by the Dept. of Education and have students as young as 14 in attendance.

Here are a few details about Jennings and his network:

” The group’s target has been to place these clubs (GLSEN) in all U.S. schools, K through 12.”

In a speech in a New York church in 2000…

“Twenty percent of people are hard-core fair-minded [pro-homosexual] people. Twenty percent are hard-core [anti-homosexual] bigots. We need to ignore the hard-core bigots, get more of the hard-core fair-minded people to speak up, and we’ll pull that 60 percent [of people in the middle] over to our side. That’s really what I think our strategy has to be. We have to quit being afraid of the religious right. We also have to quit — I’m trying to find a way to say this. I’m trying not to say, ‘[F—] ‘em!’ which is what I want to say, because I don’t care what they think! [audience laughter] Drop dead!” — Jennings speech to Marble Collegiate Church, March 20, 2000.

(How’s that for irony…one of his “safe schools” tactics was to declare a no-name-calling week.  He has been hired to promote respect and kindness for all. Do you really think that is his aim?)

At a GLSEN conference, Jennings told his fellow gay teachers that they must teach kids to accept homosexuality “before the children have a chance to be prejudiced by their parents and churches.”

What Does the School Bus Have to Do With the Future of American Healthcare?

“One of the mantras we hear repeatedly these days is, “we don’t want socialism.”  While that sounds good (and conservative, and constitutional, and patriotic, etc.), it rings hollow when you consider the overwhelming majority of the people leading the charge have their children in what amounts to socialized education.  What’s the difference?  If you’re really against government-run, socialized programs, yank your kid off the yellow prison bus and just say no.”

God Doesn’t Have to Judge America…But Take Heart!

If you’re a Christian, you are deeply concerned with the climate of our nation and the outrageous steps in the ungodly direction we’re taking.  Last week I attempted to express the way God works among sinful nations to bring about judgment.  All of Creation is so designed, His laws written into its fabric, that judgment comes simply by His releasing a people unto their own choices.  Obeying the simplicity of Scripture ultimately brings blessing; disobeying it brings curses.

Sunday, Joel McDurmon, with American Vision stated those sentiments more eloquently in a message he spoke at our church.  What’s better, he concluded with an encouraging word to believers:

“The sin-gripped heart lives and breathes in a cloud of its own delusion, in which it exhibits all the functions of the Image of God which it bears—it worships, it gets outraged over moral issues, it preaches, it evangelizes for its cause, it cares about knowledge and order—yet it directs these functions toward an untenable false god (some aspect of creation) instead of the true Creator. The worship of this false god—be it that of another religion, or man himself—consumes all that fallen man does, and in the end all the failures of that false god manifest as the failures of the sinners who followed it. That is, to the extent that men worship a corrupt god, to that extent their lives, families, and societies will grow corrupt. And the more they grow corrupt, the more they worship their idols, and the whole process compounds upon itself.

This process, of God abandoning sinners to fill up the measure of their own sinfulness, rarely gets talked about, but it appears all through Scripture. It is one of God’s specific ways of sending judgment upon a people: removing His restraints from a society and allowing that society to have the full measure of the sins they so badly lust for; and the ensuing self-destruction of that people as they devour one another and cannibalize themselves, stands as a testimony to God’s truth as the only salvation for mankind….

The sins of a people (even of individuals) become the method through which God judges that nation unto its own self-destruction. When a nation, even of many professing Christians, elects to educate its children through godless, unbiblical means, that very means becomes the method of driving that generation and its future inheritors further into destruction. When a culture adopts abortion and other family planning measures in order limit and even cancel the growth of families, God judges that nation through that medium and thus destroys its inheritance and continuance into the future….

When a culture denies just weights and measures, God will abandon them to that injustice, and that very tool will run their measures of food and shelter and meaningful work empty. When a culture looks to government to be its benefactor and savior, God will give them their government in all its glory and power to be their savior, and they will all go down together. When a culture attacks everything godly about families and freedom, God will abandon them to a rootless, loveless, tyrannical end.

As people who abhor these very idols, who pray for deliverance, who cry out about the evils around us, who do everything we can to preserve a godly family and society, and yet watch all of it slowly slip away around us due to the lusts of our countrymen and the heart-idols of many of our religious peers, we tend to lose heart….

The question is not whether we can stop it; the question is whether we can be the Ezekiel and the faithful that shall remain after it dies and decays away. Because the ultimate goal of such judgments is to separate the sheep from the goats. To destroy the deluded and gather God’s people unto Him. This is how Ezekiel concludes in verse 11: he intends to punish the false prophets and idolatrous in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Thus they will be My people, and I shall be their God.

It’s a good time to have babies, to join together in churches that support godly causes. It’s a good time to be productive and wise. If you can’t have a big family, the church is your big family; support it in every way you can, and defend her purity and peace. These are basic, simple measures that will keep us gathered to God as the God Delusion leads his enemies to cannibalize themselves; and the meek shall inherit the earth, and the righteous shall have the kingdom of heaven. “
