Schools against chasity

The previous stories got me going, and this story just keeps it up.   Apparently, schools can hand out condoms but will ban chastity rings – but only because they associate them with Christianity.  Anything from any other religion goes.    My daughter wears one of these rings.  Looks like she is a rebel just like these kids.

Power in the name of Christ

Update: Here is another graduation story. It sounds like an urban legend, but it is true.


Recently, I’ve been going through my Father’s things. One thing I found was his graduation program from 1944. Boy, times have changed. The pastor of one church gave the Invocation and Benediction. Another pastor from a neighboring town gave the message, titled “Vim, Vigor, and Victory”. I sure wish I had a copy of that speech. I bet is was great.

In 1984, at the same school, we had the pastor of the same church give the Invocation and Benediction. I had the privilege of giving a speech. Although I was not the valedictorian, my classmates voted me in. It was a small town school, and I gave my life to Christ in the middle of High School. Christ radically changed my life, and they knew at the time I would talk about it. I did, and it wasn’t a problem.

Here is another story. Looks like times have changed. This is about a school cutting off the microphone of the valedictorian because she was planning on taking about Christ in a portion of her speech. Sounds like the ACLU was standing there giving their approval (sort of like Saul watching Stephen being stoned). This web site has an account and is also taking a vote (currently 70/30 in favor of the girl). Think about it, kids rebelling against adults by being Christians.

In case you don’t believe that Christianity is under attack, here is a story out of NY. Apparently, the New York Division of Human Rights thinks that playing Christian music on private property is a violation of human rights. A roller skating rink has ‘Christian Skate Night’ (where they play contemporary Christian music) and include this in an advertisement. Even the newspaper is being charged with ‘aiding and abetting.’ This is a huge assault on free speech. I venture to guess that if they had Muslim or Buddhist skate night, there would be no complaints. However, skating works best if the music has a beat, so I’m not sure how well those would work. Anyway, they are appealing to Governor George Pataki for help. Wonder, why not Hillary?

It looks to me that even though Christianity is under attack, there is power in the name of Christ. Whenever it is mentioned, it sends liberals into a tizzy. With all this power, Christians will certainly win in the end.

Mr. Nice Guy

Update: The worldview article linked below seems to have disappeared. Try this one at World Net Daily.


Although we have free speech, some speech is more free than others, apparently. Christian speech is under fire – all over the world. (Hat Tip to Tongue-Tied).

In the U.S., there is a battle going on for a ‘Choose Life’ license plate in Missouri.

In Canada, a professor is under fire from his school for a letter written to a church Bishop.

And in Australia, they aren’t even allowed to say the words ‘mother and father’ in school anymore for fear of being insensitive.

However, this one got me worked-up enough to blog again. The secret service of my country, the United States, is raiding offices and confiscating gospel tracts. These are not ‘fringe’ groups either, regular evangelical guys.

This is a major assault on religious speech. This is wrong, and this wrong must be corrected. The only question is how. Will the government correct itself, with checks and balances kicking in … or must the church rise up and say “No more mister nice guy”?
