(Speech recently given before the City Council in Temple, Texas, after a 2 1/2 hour library board meeting with public comments.)
When my children were growing up, we came to the Temple Library nearly every week.
—–I have been aware for some time that the homosexual issue has been growing in this country.
I’m an American, but I’m also a Texan.
This issue, this disaster, coming to Texas, to Temple, calls me to speak out.
This is obviously much more than a library issue.
—–Several things became clear as I listened to everyone speak at the library.
Debate about censorship and rights will not settle this.
Claims of freedom of speech become pressure to accept, approve, and endorse the lgbt agenda publicly.
Claims of “civil rights” for adults do not satisfy their campaign for more.
Protection of childhood innocence about sex is giving way to pressuring children to think about things they cannot process until years later.
So adults process matters of sex for the children, to gain recruits for the lgbt agenda.
—–The summary observation from comments at the library meeting is this:
The lines are drawn, here and across the country, between Biblical Christianity and values in direct conflict with the Bible.
And the reason this is becoming a civil war for the life of America is because this country is based on principles in the Bible.
—–Concerning children’s literature, The Emperor Has No Clothes:
This whole mess is so obvious—it doesn’t let kids be kids and see life like kids should.
—–Concerning lgbt claiming Christianity (at the library meeting):
They do not and cannot ever talk about sin and repentance to salvation and obedience, only love.
—–Concerning the Bible:
Just because the Word of God is somewhat out of fashion these days—by no means does that mean it is out of power and authority.
Until recently the Bible was the guide in issues such as this, and it quickly settled the debate.
We cannot re-write or improve on what it says—we do so at our peril, as a nation, and as a community.
