One News Now is reporting that, “A Massachusetts pro-family activist is angered that parents were barred from observing a homosexual indoctrination seminar at a high school his child currently attends.” This, of course, is the second such event reported in the last few weeks (See this post). It used to be enough to simply say that it is sad to see something like this happen. No longer can we allow ourselves such complacency. This is not just sad; it is an all out attack on the very foundations of Christianity. As Christians, we have to confront these problems in our public schools. We can’t simply send our kids to private schools and ignore what happens elsewhere.
On the same topic of homosexuality, Matt Barber writes:
Marine General Peter Pace – decorated war hero and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – continues to find himself fending off a vicious and unfamiliar rapid fire assault from his extreme left-flank. In recent days, the good general has been widely and unjustly vilified by America’s self-appointed thought police as they step up their unified and widespread campaign of homofascist speech enforcement.
During a recent interview with the Chicago Tribune, Pace violated one of the cardinal rules of political correctness by noting that, “homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral.”

It would seem that after two thousand years of clear theological thinking on sexuality, we now find ourselves in a world where we are no longer allowed to hold to the principled approach founded in Christian doctrine and tradition from the days of the early church until now. We – as in Christians – are quickly going out of style. The scariest aspect of this issue is that the attack is not just coming from the secular world, but also from within the church. See: Episcopal council reiterates church’s support for homosexuality.
The key aspect of this issue that is ignored, however, is that it has become increasingly more clear that the family unit of a male father and a female mother is the most natural and effective social institution. Albert Mohler is reporting about this very issue as well. He writes about a book by David Blankenhorn:
In “Defining Marriage Down . . . is No Way to Save It,” published in this week’s edition of The Weekly Standard, Blankenhorn summarizes his argument. In a nutshell — marriage has been seriously weakened and is now threatened as our central social institution. Marriage has been “deinstitutionalized” through legal, cultural, ideological, and lifestyle revolutions. Proposals about same-sex marriage can come only after marriage has been seriously weakened as an institution. But, even though proponents of same-sex marriage claim to value marriage as an institution, the real impact of same-sex marriage would be the further deinstitutionalization of marriage itself.
Clearly, this issue is an enormous issue that will not only change the culture, but may well destabilize it.
