Living Counter Culture: Wisdom’s Song Not Heard in Halls of Higher Learning!

‘Children in the public school system will be indoctrinated through government mandates and funded programs to regard every conscience-directed opposition to homosexual behavior as homophobia. Christian schools and universities that “discriminate” on the basis of “sexual orientation” will suffer in many ways (loss of accreditation, loss of state funds, loss of freedom of truth speaking). Parents who raise their children to revere God’s creation design for human sexuality will one day do so in the knowledge that their children will be treated as the equivalent of racists–all in the name of social tolerance.’
(The Bible and Homosexual Practice, p. 484)

Robert Gagnon wrote this, and the following statements below, in his book “The Bible and Homosexual Practice” by 2000. Every word has come true and continues to distort the minds of innocent, vulnerable children who are in the important process of finding their identity, who they are and what they think.

Instead of being presented with balanced, healthy and factual information, they are indoctrinated from an early age with lies and deception about their identity and sexuality.

NZ’s Ministry of Education New Sex Education Directive

September 16, 2020 (Family Life International NZ) — New Relationships and Sexuality Education Guidelines which push the gender diversity and inclusivity narrative have been published by the Ministry of Education. The guidelines are intended for teachers, leaders and Boards of Trustees of all State and State-Integrated schools.

A warning to parents be very vigilant.

In order to ensure all students receive sexuality education, including senior students in Years 11 to 13, and students whose parents have removed them from this aspect of the curriculum, schools are encouraged to provide “opportunities in health education, in other curriculum programmes, and in many other school contexts.”
The Ministry of Education maintain that “relationships and sexuality education cannot be left to chance in schools,” and are advocates for this education to begin from early childhood, building consistently.
…a thorough reading of the documents leaves one with the impression that the purpose is to groom young children into accepting a worldview that embraces homosexuality and transgenderism as normative.

Each document gives example learning intentions for each curriculum area, showing how the Guidelines might be integrated into other subject learning. The following examples are important as they show how the narrative can be applied outside of Health. These examples serve as a warning to parents be very vigilant.
ie: Physical Education
Years 1-8 * Explore and challenge gender stereotypes and work towards inclusion.
* Discuss issues related to gender binaries.
Years 9-13
* Undertake critical inquiry into homophobia and transphobia in physical activity and sporting contexts.
* Discussing and challenging gender issues related to sport and physical education uniforms. – -Michelle Kaufman – lifesitenews.com

Indeed a warning to parents be very vigilant.

Wisdom’s Warning

Wisdom’s praises are sung in the streets and celebrated far and wide.
Yet wisdom’s song is not always heard in the halls of higher learning.
But in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, its lyrics can always be heard above the din of the crowd.^[i]
You will hear wisdom’s warning as she preaches courageously to those who stop to listen:
“Foolish ones, how much longer will you cling to your deception?
How much longer will you mock wisdom, cynical scorners who fight the facts? Proverbs 1:20-22

Increase in the numbers of people identifying themselves as homosexual or bisexual.

‘…it seems clear that consistent exposure to a smorgasbord of variant sexual behaviors and the intense questioning of a heterosexual norm in educational settings can result in sevenfold to ninefold increases in the numbers of people identifying themselves as homosexual or bisexual.
Advocates of homosexual behavior usually dismiss the notion that increased public support for homosexuality will lead to increased numbers of homosexuals. They do so on the assumptions that homosexuality is an immutable condition…
None of this corresponds to a doctrine of biological determinism.’
(The Bible and Homosexual Practice, pp. 417, 418)
Robert Gagnon
‘The window of opportunity for speaking out against homosexual behavior is closing.
Nothing less than intellectual integrity, free speech, and potentially irreversible change in the morality of mainline denominations are at stake in this vital area of sexual ethics…a growing number of zealous crusaders for gay “rights” are working hard to stifle vocal disagreement with the homosexual agenda by fostering a public characterization of those who refuse to go along as reactionary, dangerous characters (on par with racists and misogynists), even exerting institutional pressure to fire, not hire or license, or retard, the promotion of vocal dissenters.’ (The Bible and Homosexual Practice, p. 35)

They call it conversion therapy, we call it caring for a person who wants help with sexual identity issues!

We who want to mercifully make every effort to care for persons with sexual identity issues must know now that the LGBTQ+ juggernaut wants far more than just ‘their’ rights. They want to take away our rights, namely our freedom to view reality from a Judeo-Christian lens. – Andy Comiskey
Let’s look briefly at each of his ‘prophecies.’
The first, societal erosion of shame related to ‘queer’ culture resulted in a contagion. What was once taboo becomes hip and youth gravitate toward it.
Not all identity crises are created equal. The emotionally vagrant, looking for a home with peers, want a piece of the rainbow pie. Why? ‘Now I’m special…Again, sexual identification shifts and is subject to cultural norms. The new normal is ‘open-to-anything.’ Mercy, Jesus. –
Second, our rain-bowed public institutions.
We are aware of many systems, especially educational, that insist on their way or the highway.
Most poignant was a dear friend recounting her daughter’s moral crisis. The teacher firmly exhorted her that ‘real love means agreeing with your peers who are re-identifying as the opposite gender’.
When Mom spoke of Jesus’ creative design to her daughter, she burst into tears, torn between two different visions of love. That healthy family worked it out beautifully.
For most, the schools evangelize children to resist one of the main planks of our faith.
We are made in the image of God, Let’s train our kids to know and love better.

Third, prepare to be lumped with ‘racists and misogynists’ and worse, when we kindly disagree with LGBTQ+ destiny as the best way for all persons. Yet disagree we must.

Time to speak now. We must speak Counter Culturally against the LGBTQ indoctrination, whatever the cost!

The window is closing for counter-viewpoints and we MUST have a say in keeping that window cracked.

We shall not allow noisy opponents to silence us.

Pray:

‘Jesus, thank You for prophets like Gagnon who help us to see ahead, in truth and in fear and trembling. Sober us to live in reality, and to fight this battle well. Show us our part. May we neither bury our heads nor take on burdens You have not asked us to assume.’

Help us Lord to live counter culturally. To stand strong on the truth of Your Word. To not waver between two opinions and to always speak boldly against this evil indoctrination of our children in the halls of higher learning.
