Who Do You Say I Am?
William Blake, The Flight of Moloch, 1809
Governor Desantis’ House Bill 1557 continues to garner perpetual news cycles, vicious social media campaigns, and general mass hysteria mostly by those who have not read the seven-page bill. To be fair, it’s not easy to read when you’re whirling like a dervish.
How could I have known that playing Battling Tops in the early 70s was a prophetic object lesson for public discourse here in the 21st Century? Corporate News outlets merely yank our strings and launch us into the public arena where we wildly spin and chaotically crash into each other until we wobble in exhaustion to utter collapse. The prophets Hurricane Hank and Twirling Tim could not have been more accurate.
Coined the Don’t Say Gay Bill, the words gay, lesbian, queer, transgender or homosexuality are not mentioned in the Bill. Of the 15 provisions listed, only clause (3) mentions sexual orientation and gender identity:
Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.
Kindergarten through grade 3 correlates to ages five through nine. That seems more than reasonable to this father of two as I know full well that an adult can convince a six-year old of anything, anytime, with very little effort. It’s called insistence over innocence.
The pulse of the Bill’s provisions has little to do with individual sexuality and everything to do with protecting and preserving the primacy of a parent’s right to raise, teach, and control the nurturing of their own children.
It’s 2022, Do You Know Where Your Children Are?
There seems to be growing confusion about who our children belong to. Politicians and officials speak and act in a manner that besmirches and relegates parental authority as they continue their decades-long assault to systematically usurp control of your child’s development.
These so-called professionals think they have been endued with some make-believe power over your children, otherwise, why would they treat you with such disdain?
I’ve reviewed some of the “textbooks” that are being banned right now in multiple states. They are nothing short of full-blown cartoon porn. I remember when I accidentally found a copy of The Joy of Sex in Junior High School. I have time-tested confidence to say this: The first explicit images a child sees will remain prominently influential into their adult life.
One of the kiddie-porn textbooks I reviewed is being distributed to grades 6-12. This can hardly be called education and, dare I say, indoctrination is even too kind a word to use. This type of evil exposure is wholly detrimental and destructive to the development of an innocent child’s mind. And don’t think only Health curricula are infected because sex and gender are now routinely used to teach — math.
The more I learn, the more I realize that our schools today no longer resemble the public education system my mother taught in and many of us attended. Let’s call it what it is; government brainwashing.
Three Three-Letter Words Every Parent Should Know
Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the classroom has reaped an enormous harvest of cable news debate cycles. But if I have learned anything in the fake news era, it’s this: When you see corporate-owned media present a harmonized message across the outlets like a team of synchronized swimmers, stop and take careful note. They are most likely hailing your attention to the makeup and splash above the surface in hopes you never see the far more substantive maneuverings happening deep beneath the waters.
While classroom CRT held your attention, the other two corners that complete the triangle of government brainwashing continue to be proliferated. They are Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). If you have school-aged children, I urge you to learn about these hellacious doctrines of thought now. Here’s the headline: The epicenter of government education is no longer reading, writing, and arithmetic but instead, race, sex, and self.
While these three areas are good, important, and vital aspects of our lives, they should never be presented as central tenets of education. Once God was effectively removed as the transcendent centerpiece of life, these narcissistic replacements become feeble and broken disappointments at best.
If the public school cabal doesn’t wake up soon, they will be shut down quicker than CNN Plus.
Here is some good news. If there is an example of God working all things for good, then we can confidently say the SARS-CoV-2 lockdowns helped shine a light on the utter chaos and calamity of government brainwashing.
2022 is proving to be a year of revealing things that until now have been hidden. This is why school board meetings across the country are being flooded with furious parents.
What Are the Children Asking Us?
Late in his public ministry, Jesus asked his friends an immensely pivotal question: “Who do you say I am?” When Peter rightly answered, “You are the Christ! The son of the Living God”, it not only established Jesus’ identity but forever defined the reverence and honor due Him.
In these days of madness where men can get pregnant and no one knows what a woman is, what do we say of our kids? Can you hear the silent cries of our tender, young children as they ask us the same question today?
Who do you say I am?
To those for whom abortion is nothing more than a contraceptive convenience, the answer is a diabolically revolting, “You are no one. You are not even alive.”
To those for whom child pornography is aesthetically satisfying, the answer is a demonically saturated, “You are nothing more than a stimulating array of pixels.”
To those for whom children are glamorously trafficked for the consumption of the rich and famous, the answer is a sacrificially satanic, “You are here for my pleasure.”
To those for whom innocent children remind you of the pain and trauma of your broken childhood, the answer is a selfishly retributive, “You will suffer because I suffered.”
To those for whom heteronormative sexuality is anathema, the answer is a subtly hissing, “You are not who you think you are.”
To those for whom Judeo-Christian principles and the western-prescribed traditional family require disruption and deconstruction, the answer is a hopelessly nihilistic, “You do not belong.”
The Epstein Archipelago
Sacrificing children to appease the cultural gods has been a societal norm since the dawn of time. The evolution of this ghastly evil dictates we adapt more seemly rituals in our advanced, post-Christian society. So we create islands, name them after a chief demon, and give The Satan a mailing address here on earth where children are violated and discarded like blow-up dolls.
This was my greatest reservation on the appointment of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson: Her numerous rulings in child pornography cases displayed leniency toward perpetrators I found to be repulsive. I wonder how it makes the raped children feel?
This piece is 1500 words long. Consider each word a life and that’s about how many babies were aborted so far in the U.S. today. The searing arms of Moloch may have been replaced with cold, tin trays next to the stirrups — but the torturous murders are no less final.
We have to ask the question: Why are leftist education activists trying to confuse and contort elementary children’s minds when it comes to gender and sexuality? Could it be the innocent children are making the broken adults look bad?
It’s easier to break the children than to look in the mirror and repent.
Millstones Don’t Float
Jesus never minces words, and no better example is when he describes what he thinks of adults who cause little children to suffer or stumble:
If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.
~Jesus in Mark’s Gospel
Behold how much Jesus values children and take note; He is not threatening to drown the perpetrators. No, it’s worse than that. He is describing that a gruesome death by drowning would be preferable in comparison to enduring the inevitable consequences of compromising young children in any way.
May we have eyes to see our children with the same fierce love Christ has for them. May we protect the innocence of our children with everything we’ve got and have the discernment to know when not to entrust them to these broken systems all around us. And may we never relinquish our God-given calling to put our children’s well-being before our own.
