Yesterday on the news there was a story about a middle school in Maine that is giving away birth control pills to children as young as eleven years old. The vote of the school board was not even close either; the measure overwhelmingly passed. I don’t know about you, but I was rather shocked to learn that our school system was giving eleven year old children birth control pills. The film crew showed the room where all of their various birth control devices were kept and distributed for the school. It looked like a drug store with various different brands of condoms hanging on the wall which the school has been passing out free and on demand to any child that wants them since 2000. Apparently condom distribution is OK, but parents must approve of handing out the birth control pills; however state laws pushed through by groups like Planned Parenthood provide for protecting our children’s “rights” to complete confidence about their sexual activity and it is questionable as to whether or not kids can get around it. What about parent’s rights to protect their small children?

I kind of thought this school might be located in the middle of an inner city slum urban area with a high minority population where parents cannot always be as they should be due to abject poverty, drugs, single parent homes, and rampant crime, but nope it looked to be your standard middle class white neighborhood with well to do parents being interviewed telling the broadcasters that they thought it was a good idea.

Later in the broadcast there was another article that mentioned that evangelical Christians are not as concerned about abortion issues anymore and other issues such as the war in Iraq, Darfur, and poverty were more pressing as national issues this time around, springing hope at least to the liberal reporters reporting this article that the liberal Democrats instead of Republicans might get the evangelical Christian vote this year for the first time ever.

Sometimes I wonder if I am the one out of step, as this line of thinking is insanity to me. As a society we should be teaching our children right from wrong and that it is wrong to have sex when a little child is eleven years old. We should not encourage it by handing out condoms, birth control pills and pamphlets. What will they teach the kids next? How to avoid getting pregnant by having sex like Bill Clinton did while in office, that according to his warped mindset really wasn’t sex. Judging by popularity polls for Bill Clinton, I suppose society is not too concerned about our President’s views on the subject nor do they want to call a lie a lie and a liar a liar.

I may be out of step with modern society and current day thinking, but I am not the one out of step with God, the world is out of step with God and it is predicted in the Bible to head in that direction particularly as we head into the “last days”. The verses below come right after lengthy descriptions of the world moving towards fornication, uncleanness, filthiness, perversion, etc. We are warned not to be deceived by anyone, (which includes the politicians and media), because such behavior will result in the wrath of God being brought down upon us. Right is right and wrong is wrong and God’s laws are the same today, as yesterday, as forever. Society may become more forgiving and with a smile, wink and nod approve of “indiscretions” and vote “Bill” or his grinning wife back in twenty times or set them up in a monarchy, but in the end it does not change the fact that God views sin as sin and make no mistake about it, sin will be severely punished. I just hope our entire nation is not punished for such shameful things as the action taken by this school board in Maine and the nation’s barbarous views on murdering millions of innocent babies through abortion.

Ephesians 5:6
Let no one deceive you with
empty words for because of these
things the wrath of God comes upon
the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do not be partakers
with them
