Ontario Sex Education Program

The Baptist Community has been stirred up recently because one of our sister churches has placed a statement on its website defending the revamped curriculum for sex education in our public schools.  This has given the usual suspects all the rationalization that they need to jump on the bandwagon and promote the progressive agenda.  I could spend a great deal of time arguing that the church is wrong in supporting this program because it promotes homosexuality and gender confusion.  However, such a debate misses the true point.

This is a classic case of government creep.  The government has stuck its nose in the wrong place for so long that people can't even conceive that they shouldn't be there in the first place.  Under the mask of "health education" the government has been teaching children about sex in schools for decades now.  This has allowed them to promote an agenda to be sure, but the greater sin lies in their involvement in this area to begin with.  Teaching children about moral issues, like sex, is within the role of parent not government.  For forty years, our government has been intruding into the role of parents in order to become the surrogates of our children.  The present curriculum is not only wrong because it has an agenda, it is also wrong because it is one more way our government has interfered in the parent/child relationship.

A Grace Too Small

Last evening our sermon passage was found in Genesis 38.  It is an ugly passage.  It tells the story of Judah, his sons Er, Onan, and Shelah, and Er's wife Tamar.  Judah marries a Canaanite woman and has three sons.  His sons are so evil that God kills both Er and Onan for their wickedness.  Because Judah fears the loss of his remaining son, he fails to fulfill his obligation to Tamar of marrying her to his last son so that an heir might be raised up to Er.  Seeing the failure of her father-in-law, Tamar takes matters into her own hand by dressing as a prostitute and sleeping with Judah.  Judah, unaware of with whom he has had sex, subsequently hears that Tamar is pregnant by immorality. He demands that she be brought out and burned for her crime (can anyone say "hypocrite?").  Tamar then produces the evidence against her father-in-law and he relents.  The story ends with the birth of twin boys. I jokingly called the sermon the "Jerry ...

Only One Life

Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way; Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart; Only one life, ‘twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done; Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet, And stand before His Judgment seat; Only one life, ‘twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. C. T. Studd
