Sexual gratification rules. Sex — any type, any time, with anyone — is the ultimate freedom. Sex rules the marketplace, classroom, court of law, and military. Sex is the one “right” above all others. Why? Because Kinsey said so. “Children,” said Kinsey, “are sexual from birth.” In other words, according to Kinsey and his followers, we are animal-like beings captive to sexual desires, urges, and feelings.
Progressive people everywhere already knew they were “animal-like.” Why? Because Darwin said so. Anyone feeling inhibited by a Creator God now had “license” to do as they pleased. Piggy-backing (how animal-like!) on the theory of Darwin, Kinsey plunged into “scientific” study with the goal of breaking down all sexual inhibitions Kinsey’s “scientific” study has been exposed as fraudulent and criminal. (You can discover why by reading “Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences” or visiting Dr. Judith Reisman.) Nevertheless, a psychologically twisted and sexually deviant Kinsey was granted “license” to move a culture away from guarding innocence and protecting boundaries of modesty to educate in all manner of sex. The animal circus went on the road.
Progressive and enlightened Christians filed God’s Word on sexual purity under “religious myths” and joined the animal circus. Willingly, or unwillingly, they became “animal trainers.” If you really cared about a child, parents and educators were told, you would help a young, “evolving” conscience become “comfortable” with sexual desires, urges, and feelings. At least four generations have been educated in all manner of sexual behavior, but left clueless about what it means to be male or female.
We’ve been too long at the animal circus. The evidence explains why.
- Young women suffer a variety of sexually transmitted diseases, sterility, and depression following casual sexual encounters. (Visit Dr. Miriam Grossman or read her book, “Unprotected.”)
- Young men and women are “brain damaged” and addicted to sex. (Visit Dr. Joe McIlhaney or read his book, “Hooked.”)
- Husbands and wives, each having partnered intimately with others prior to marriage, are having difficulty bonding — relating, communicating, and working as a team for the sake of their children.
- High school and college-aged girls admit they feel “more free” and sexually unbounded, but also admit to being “less happy” and “content.”
- Girls raised in Christian homes demand the “right” to “shower together” at camps and retreats; some go further by experimenting with bi-sexual and lesbian lifestyles. (These examples from personal testimonies.)
We’ve been too long at the animal circus. Darwin, Kinsey, Margaret Sanger (Planned Parenthood), and others who’ve wanted to re-wire the minds of our children have trained long enough. Their education has mentored boys and girls to be sexual, not relational; all about me, rarely about others; empty, not filled; hopeless, not hopeful.
The church — the Body of Christ — stands guilty. To be more attractive to the world, we adapted the ways of circus trainers. As long as Jesus was part of sex education, our sons and daughters would be all right — or so we thought. But, Jesus does not wrap Himself around worldly ideas. (See post of October 1, 2010 in the ezerwoman archives.)
Is there hope? Yes. Away from the animal circus.
God didn’t create us to be “sexual beings.” That is not our identity. He created us to be human beings who reflect His glory by living life as male or female. According to His design, male and female are equal, but different. Our “plumbing” is different. The way we think, love, and communicate is different. God’s Word explains the meaning and purpose of the two genders/sexes. His Word explains why we need each other and how to treat each other. Then, when the time is right, God “fits” a man and a woman together in the faithfulness of marriage. Through the act of procreational sex, God brings new life into the world.
We are not animal-like beings captive to sexual desires, feelings, and perceived “needs.” We are, by creation, persons of great worth with minds, hearts, and souls able to control emotions and feelings.
Away from the animal circus, we are better able to see children as God sees them. Sons and daughters… on their way to a future of hope as men and women. Husbands and wives. Fathers and mothers. Grandparents.
Wow!
Thank you for speaking the words of truth in a lost and fallen culture!
I love it! Excellent article that says what really needs to be said to the culture around us.
I would make one small change, however, in the third last paragraph, and this for cultural reasons. While it is true that we are created to be of the male and female gender, the term gender has been co-opted to mean merely a social construct regarding our sexual identity. The term “Sex” (in the sense of “male” and “female”) can only mean the biological way in which we were created.
Not that I think your piece is unclear – indeed it could not be more clear. But those who reference or quote it – and it deserves to be referenced and quoted – might use the terms in a less unambiguous context. So, the first sentence of the third last paragraph could read, “God didn’t create us to be ‘sexual beings.’ He created us to be human beings of the male or female sex.”
Again, I only mention it because that sentence is so true, and will likely be quoted by others. It would be a shame if it were misunderstood when not surrounded by the context in which it was written.
My $.02. Your mileage may vary.
Keep up the good work. And tell your pastor I said “hello”. He is a treasure to the church.
