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.

It’s difficult for a 21 st   century audience to appreciate the century-long yearning which the Hebrews had for the Messiah’s arrival. But why? What is the significance of the Jewish Messiah?

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
