A Cause for Mourning and Prayer

From Romans Ch 1:
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Reading the following should cause us to mourn for our culture, its institutions (notable here are the Girl Scouts, the United Nations, and Planned Parenthood -and also note that this event was held at a church center owned and operated by the United Methodist Church) and for our young people who are being fed the lies that pleasurable sex is something to be worshiped. Yes, one cannot read the brochure (please read it but be warned it is fairly graphic) referenced in this article and miss the fact that sex is one of the most powerful idols in our culture today. And one cannot also miss the profits that are at stake for PP to the degree that this playing upon our culture's idols is successful.

"The World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides hosted a no-adults-welcome panel at the United Nations this week where Planned Parenthood was allowed to distribute a brochure entitled “Healthy, Happy and Hot.” The event was part of the annual United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) which concludes this week.

The brochure, aimed at young people living with HIV, contains explicit and graphic details on sex, as well as the promotion of casual sex in many forms. The brochure claims, “Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse… But, there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!”

Lets continue to speak truth into our young people's lives and pray for them, that Christ would be of such superior pleasure to them than what the world tells them they need!
