GAY TRUTH

A major LGBT lobbying group has produced sweeping guidelines for British schools designed to indoctrinate children beginning at age 5 in every primary school subject area and in every grade level by embedding gay, lesbian, and transgender themes and examples. The “voluntary guidance” authored by  Stonewall , an LGBT lobbying group roughly equivalent to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in the United States, was sponsored by the  Government Equalities Office  (GEO) and  Pearson , a U.K.-based education assessment and publication powerhouse, using a £1-million grant awarded to LGBT organizations, according to a  report  in the  Sunday Times . The effort is timed to coincide with the new relationships and sex education (RSE) courses scheduled to take effect in September 2020. While parents will be permitted to exempt their children from lessons on sex, the relationships portion of the curriculum is mandatory. A review of the suggested guidelines...

The Crossing Church from Columbia, Missouri, has been in the news recently — and for all the right reasons. Just last month, the church garnered national attention when it helped members of its community pay off unpaid medical bills. Through a partnership with RIP Medical Debt, a nonprofit organization that helps people pay off outstanding medical debt, church members donated more than $430,000, which was used to pay off more than $43 million of medical debt by negotiating with debt collectors. At the time, Pastor Keith Simon explained the motivation behind his congregation’s generosity:  “We do this because we feel like God has been incredibly gracious to us. He’s paid our debts. We think those who follow Jesus should be radically generous with their time, their talent, their treasure.” Today, the Missouri church is in the news for something else: Its pastor preached a sermon on Oct. 13 titled “Male and Female. Ancient Text. Modern Debate.” Using Genesis 1:27 as hi...

As followers of Jesus, we seek to pattern ourselves after His example. And in all things, He exemplified grace and truth. Not grace or truth, but grace and truth. How, exactly, do we work this out in practice? And how, precisely, does this apply to the issue of transgender pronouns? Recent teaching by Southern Baptist leader J.D. Greear underscored some of the challenges facing Christians today when confronted with the question of speaking to trans-identified individuals. Pronoun Hospitality On the one hand, Pastor Greear clearly emphasizes the aspect of truth. He references solid conservative Christian books addressing transgender issues written by Ryan T. Anderson and Andrew Walker.  And he states plainly that genetics determines your gender and that, “All told, when it comes to genetic sex, at the DNA level, there really is just male and female.” Then, after addressing the question of “ambiguous Genitalia and the ‘Intersexual,’” Pastor Greear gets to the pronoun que...

Israel Folau says he feels “vindicated” after  reaching a settlement  with Rugby Australia on Wednesday. Rugby Australia and Rugby NSW also apologized to Israel for sacking him and any “hurt or harm” the firing caused. “We started this journey on behalf of all people of faith, to protect their rights of freedom of speech and religion,” Folau said in a video posted on his  website . “We now look forward to the federal government enacting the legislation necessary to further protect and strengthen these rights for all Australians.” “We are extremely pleased with the settlement reached today,” Folau continued. “With today’s acknowledgment and apology by Rugby Australia, we have been vindicated and can now move on with our lives to focus on our faith and our family.” Watch the video: “I believe in a God that’s in control of all things. Whatever His will is, whether that’s to continue playing or not, I’m more than happy to do what He wants me to do.” ...
