HOMOSEXUALITY'S PUSH

     The subtle promotion of homosexuality is gone.  It is now
an all-out assault on our nation through schools, entertain-
ment, and religions.  No longer is there a call to "tolerate" it--
which was always a ruse -- now we must endorse it or be marked a "homophobe 
bigot."

     Three recent examples highlight the perverted push:

Lesbian Bishop: -- The Episcopal Church nominated an "open-
ly lesbian priest for bishop."  This move further strains the 
Anglican communion because there are some who still see it
as incompatible with Christian teaching; or as the Bible puts
it, it is sinful (1 Cor. 6:9,10).

     Two other points need to be made: (1) Women are not aut-
horized in the Bible to serve in leadership positions in the 
church of Jesus Christ, whether preachers, deacons, or bish-
ops (1 Tim. 2:11,12; 3:1-13).  (2) The problems that exist in 
the Episcopal Church are the fruit of centuries of error.  When they left the 
Bible as the sole source of authority, they
set the path to openly appoint homosexual leaders.

Perverted Painting: -- A steet fair in San Francisco is to have 
a revised painting of "The Last Supper."  Leonardo da Vinci's
painting is merely a figment of his imagination.  However, it
did show a measure of respect for the Lord and His apostles.

     The revised painting reportedly depicts scantily clad men
and women, presumably homosexuals, attired in bondage
gear with sex toys on the table.  Though the original was by
no means inspired, such a thing as this is blasphemous.  Just
fifty years ago this was not tolerated in our nation.  Our free-
dom and sense of "rights" has run amuck.

Indoctrinating Second Graders: -- In the recent Democrat presidential debate, 
the issue of teaching second graders
about homosexuality came up.  The moderator asked the 
candidates about a book, King & King, that was read to a sec-
ond grade class in a Massachusetts elementary school.  The
candidates endorsed the action and principle; some rather
firmly.

     Homosexuals learned from atheists and redical environ-
mentalists that the way to change a nation is to indoctrinate
its children.  These humanistic idolaters know that if they can
form the attitudes and beliefs of children, then it is only a
matter of time before the society is altered.

     Parents need to work to counteract such evil influences.
God instructed parents of the Old Testament to teach their
children constantly (Deut. 6:6-9).  The duty is no less imper-
ative today (Eph. 6:4).  If we expect to turn our nation around
and our children toward heaven, we must teach them the truth, no matter how 
foolish and backward we look may look
to the world.

     Homosexuals are pushing their agenda.  We must accept
it or be condemned.  As those who love God and His truth,
we must push back.   ------- Steven Deaton in Truth Magazine,
