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.

Death For a Believer

We picture death as coming to destroy; let us rather picture Christ as coming to save. We think of death as ending; let us rather think of life as beginning, and that more abundantly. We think of losing; let us think of gaining. We think of parting; let us think of meeting. We think of going away; let us think of arriving. And as the voice of death whispers,  "You must go from earth," Let us hear the voice of Christ saying, "You are but coming to me."   Norman Macleod

Families' Fridays

From Focus on the Family 10 helpful tips for single parents Imagine this: you’re the sole parent for your children. You get them up, get them fed and send them to school. You do the housework, maybe you go to work yourself, you get home and you’re still the only adult there. There’s no one to relieve you. No one to pass the baton to while you take a shower or take a few minutes for yourself. You make dinner and gather the family around the table to eat. You play with them, read to them, give them baths, get them to bed and there’s no one there to sit with and process your day. There’s no one there to laugh with you or pray with you. Instead you keep working. You clean up the house again. You pack lunches for the next day. And you eventually crash into bed, knowing you’ll be doing the same thing tomorrow. For many, this is not an imagined scenario. When you parent alone – whether due to divorce, the loss of your spouse or having a spouse who works away from home for long periods of...

Quotation of the Week

“And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”” (Matt. 26:39) The object of Christ’s attention here is this cup. What is the cup? What’s in it? In Scripture the cup refers to God’s wrath or judgment (Isaiah 51:17; Jeremiah 25:15). Here in this foreboding vessel before Jesus is the fully fermented, undiluted, cup of divine wrath. It is God’s impending judgment that has him sweating drops of blood and in deep agony. Christ is looking down the barrel of heaven’s infinite wrath, and his heart is shredded in agony. As barbaric as the human suffering was, it was not the chief agony of the cross. This was reserved for his assignment to drink the cup. It wasn’t the prospect of martyrdom—wrath at the hands of men—that weighed so heavily upon Jesus, it was wrath of God.
