In case you are not
aware, let me tell you plainly, the radical Left is increasingly
hijacking the syllabi of our schools and universities with its
radical leftist agenda. It's not yet as radical here in Canada as it
is elsewhere, but make no mistake about it, it's coming unless we
rise up and pull down the strongholds in the Name of Christ. It all
started long ago with the taking away of prayer in schools, and with
the science faith controversy. It was always present in Universities.
Atheist Professors have long been free to ridicule faith based
positions thus proselytizing atheism. But proselytizing Christianity
is politically incorrect, and when attempted, is met with extreme
hostility. There's much to say about these things, including the fact
that atheism is also faith based, though few seem able to see it.
Even the ten
commandments, the very basis of Western Civilization are
increasingly, if not outright banned, have certainly been
marginalized. Radical sex-ed is being taught in schools, and students
encouraged, for example, to experiment with sex to determine their
sexual orientation. In the UK one sex-ed program teaches six year
olds how to self stimulate, and Breitbart tells of a BBC educational
series that teaching children that there are “Over 100” different
genders. And so “of course,” we get to choose our gender
independent of our biological sex, and also hypocritically of
science. We have yet to see the fullness of the destruction that will
follow all this (but see 25 October)! At the moment home schooling is
an option here in Canada, but I was recently made aware of a High
Court ruling in Switzerland against mother’s right to Homeschool.
All of this is even more pronounced in the Universities, with same
extreme leftist values permeating the very ethos of the system. And
increasingly, in the name of sensitivity, of microaggression and the
perceived need for safe spaces, free speech is under attack, the very
mechanism that can bring balance and sanity into the equation (see
“Do we have a right to not be offended?” 23 October).
In terms of “if my
people ... repent and turn from our wicked way” (2 Chronicles
7:14), we need to acknowledge, in identification repentance (see
August 10), that what has essentially happened is that the tables
have been turned. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts
absolutely. And we Conservatives have certainly abused power. It's
not just in the political system! Here in Newfoundland at the time of
confederation the right to denominational schools was enshrined in
the constitution. There was a lot of abuse of this entitlement and of
power, and that right was overturned. Some of us were not sure that
was not a good thing. Democracy works (when it does), because the
various sides keep things balanced, and just because something calls
itself Christian, does not mean it operates out of Biblical attitudes
and principles. And we need both Liberal and Conservative opinions,
to keep things balanced, and we need to listen to each other!
Father, I repent for
myself and for those who are called by Your name for our abuse of
power and for our neglect of the marginalized. Thank You Lord for the
dissenting voices that You are using to bring us back into balance.
Wake us up Lord, raise up intercessors, and place Your people in this
mountain of influence to pull down strongholds that exalt themselves
against Your Kingdom, and bring peace, justice and righteousness to
our nations in Jesus Name Amen
