This article is for every American who believes God’s wisdom is superior to the human intellect. The primary objective of this article is to expose ways in which deceit is putting America and generations of young people at great risk.

And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world… (Revelation 12:9, ESV).

The real enemy of any nation is the devil and other unseen spiritual forces of evil who deceive people by making what is evil look good (See Ephesians 6:12). Exposing how the enemy is at work requires the identification of specific ways in which he is using deceit to cause confusion and destroy lives.

The Apostle Paul wrote, Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them…when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible… (Ephesians 5:11, 13, ESV)

While there are many concerns facing Americans, we will address only one: the social engineering of students through sexuality education (sex ed). Before we do that, we want to make it clear that the intent of this letter is to expose deceit and how deceit is hurting the next generations of young people and the culture we live in. Our intent is not to be critical of any individual.

The second objective of this article is to ask important questions and provide information to equip you to engage in dialogue about this serious concern.

This article addresses the following topics:

  1. The Social Engineering of Students Through Sex Ed
  2. Healthy Sex Ed or Unhealthy Sex Ed?
  3. Access to Sex Ed as Key to Social Change
  4. Will We Trust God?
  5. The Spiritual Battle Between Good and Evil
  6. What Can WE Do?

The Social Engineering of Students Through Sex Ed

Sixty years ago, an organization was founded. That organization’s name was SIECUS: Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States.

As early as the 1990’s, SIECUS began to promote a publication titled, Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Kindergarten – 12th Grade. SIECUS’s Guidelines have been used to teach young people through many of our public schools. Here are a few quotes from the 1991 first edition, third printing of those Guidelines:

Ages 5 through 8:

  • “Intercourse is a pleasurable activity for most adults.”
  • “A woman faced with an unintended pregnancy can carry the pregnancy to term and raise the baby, or place the baby for adoption, or have an abortion to end the pregnancy.”

Ages 9 through 12:

  • “Homosexual love relationships can be as fulfilling as heterosexual relationships.”
  • “Abortion is legal in the United States.”

Why would the above quotes for five-year-olds be considered age-appropriate?

Why was there no mention of that intercourse taking place between a married man and his wife (within a marriage as defined by God)?

Why deceive children into affirming homosexual relationships to be as equally acceptable an option as heterosexual relationships?

Why plant the seed of abortion in the minds of five to eight-year-old children and then reinforce it at ages nine through twelve? Is this an attempt to manipulate children at an early age into believing and affirming that abortion is as equally acceptable an option as raising a baby or placing the baby for adoption?

Is the real agenda to teach young people healthy sexuality, or is it to persuade young children to affirm same-sex relationships and abortion?

Three decades later, or to put it another way, two generations of young people later, the Guidelines are still available in a revised edition.

Healthy Sex Ed or Unhealthy Sex Ed ?

To understand the reason for the question, Healthy Sex Ed or Unhealthy Sex Ed? , read SIECUS’s 2024 position statements.

Here are a few of their statements:

  • “Gender-based stereotyping must be eliminated, and the use of gender-inclusive language promoted.”
  • “SIECUS believes that every woman, regardless of age or income, should have the right to obtain an abortion….”
  • “SIECUS believes that adults should have the right to access sexually explicit materials for personal use.”

Is SIECUS condoning pornography?

Does SIECUS’s definition of healthy sexuality imply:

  • Sexual relationships between people of the same sex are as natural as the sexual intimacy between a husband and his wife?
  • Abortion is as equally acceptable an option as raising the baby or placing the baby for adoption?
  • Greater interest in insuring abortion rights and LGBTQIA+ rights than in teaching young children the truth and beauty of sexual intimacy within the covenant of marriage as defined by God? To answer this question for yourself, read SIECUS’s Sex Ed State Legislative Mid-Year Report 2023.

We believe America’s youth continue to be at great risk of being deceived by way of unhealthy sex education based on the redefining of healthy sexuality.

Herein lies a real battle for the heart and soul of America. Who will we choose to define healthy sexuality for future generations?

Will Americans allow SIECUS to be the source of truth that defines healthy sexuality?

or

Will Americans choose God, who created human beings and sexuality, to be the most reliable source of truth to define healthy sexuality?

Will choosing the first option lead to greater confusion, sadness, heartache, and further judgment of God upon America? Will choosing the latter option provide hope for our nation to be blessed and protected by God?

It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor. – George Washington

Access to Sex Ed as Key to Social Change

In 2019, SIECUS changed its name to SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change, clarifying what their purpose has always been since they began in 1964 (https://siecus.org/).

SIECUS’s 2023 Sex Ed State Legislative Mid-Year Report (Updated) states, “…we know that advancing sex education policy at the local, state, and federal level is the key to improving rights across our community. Increasing access to sex ed is the key to social change.” (“2023 Sex Ed State Legislative Mid-Year Report (Updated) Originally Published August 2023,” SIECUS, 2023, p. 3, accessed May 22, 2024).

What is SIECUS’s strategy? They have acknowledged that increasing access to sex ed is the key to social change and the key to improving rights. Is sex ed based on SIECUS’s definition of healthy sexuality then used to further their agenda by exploiting a captive audience of young, vulnerable students? These are our children and grandchildren, America’s next generation. Do you see the risk for them and our nation if God’s design and definition of healthy sexuality is altered to condone sexual behavior that God does not condone?

SIECUS’s Position Statements also state that, “Cultural beliefs and norms are influenced and expressed through many institutions including families, communities, schools, faith-based organizations, and mass media. These institutions have an obligation to affirm sexuality in ways that support the sexual health and rights of all members of any society.” (https://siecus.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Position-Statements-2018-2.pdf).

Has SIECUS assumed sovereignty over the above institutions to bring about the social change they seek to advance?

No institution or organization, or any child or adult, has any obligation or responsibility to affirm or support abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, or anything else that God does not affirm. Does that mean I do not have love, compassion, or empathy for anyone who has had an abortion, is in a same sex relationship, or struggles with gender identity? Absolutely not! It means I care enough to let people know it would not be wise to affirm behavior that a loving and holy God does not affirm. – Jeff Rosenau, President of Christlike Dialogue

Will We Trust God?

Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. (Proverbs 30:5, NLT)

The devil’s desire is for people to replace truth, especially biblical truth, with lies and/or deceit. When defining and teaching healthy sexuality, we believe biblical truth is needed for healthy children and a healthy society.

If we trust God, here’s why healthy sex ed would not encourage children to affirm abortion:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:13-14, 16, NIV)

If we trust God, here’s why healthy sex ed would not encourage children to affirm any sexual intimacy except between a married man and his wife:

Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Genesis 2:24, NKJV)

But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. (1 Corinthians 7:2, NIV)

People have the God-given freedom to make choices. We can choose to believe God and what He proclaims to be right, or we can choose to let our own intellect, emotions, and culture determine what is “right”. We are not to judge one another, nor are we to hate anyone who doesn’t see things exactly as you or I do. There is no reason to withhold compassion or respect from any human being, as we are all created in the image of God. Sincere compassion includes the sharing of biblical truth in love with one another.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face. – Ronald Reagan

In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it. – Abraham Lincoln

Much of our society has been led to believe that if we are to love all people, we must also affirm their behavior. That isn’t true. Jesus had compassion on the woman caught in adultery, but He also said to her, “Go and sin no more.” (See John 8:11). To affirm behavior that God does not condone is exactly what delights the devil but offends Almighty God. Consider the following words of truth from the Word of God:

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. (Romans 1:21, NIV)

Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie… Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. (Romans 1:24-28, NIV)

Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:32, NIV)

Those words are not affirming. They are words of truth from a loving God who has been rejected. Through His Word, God has made it clear that healthy sexual intimacy is to take place between a husband and his wife within a biblical marriage.

The above Scripture is a sober reminder of the serious consequences of not listening to a holy God. All of us have failed in different ways to listen to God. Yet His grace, mercy and compassion remain available to each of us. As long as we are still alive, it is never too late to turn to God and ask for His forgiveness.

The Spiritual Battle Between Good and Evil

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12, NLT)

It is important to understand the spiritual battle between good and evil that is taking place in America. Who will Americans trust to guide our nation, the god of this world (the devil) who constantly lies and deceives people, or the only true God of the universe who always communicates truth?

The Bible provides awareness and warning of the real enemy:

Satan, who is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4a) is the deceiver of the whole world (Revelation 12:9). He makes what is evil look good.

He is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44) and comes only to steal and kill and destroy (John 10:10a).

  • To steal truth from our youth by deceiving them, through sex education, into affirming unhealthy sexual behavior.
  • To kill by deceiving people into believing women’s health is advanced by giving them the right to terminate the life of an unborn baby, for any reason.
  • To destroy lives by deceiving people into believing it is okay to irreversibly alter their body to become a gender they are not.
  • To destroy a nation by deceiving political leaders into passing laws requiring citizens and institutions to affirm and fund sinful behavior.

The true God of the universe speaks truth. He creates life. He loves people. He proved His love by sending His Son to rescue us from sin and darkness, and to give us abundant life. He freely offers hope of eternal life to all who turn from sin and place their faith in Jesus Christ.

Every word of God proves true… (Proverbs 30:5, ESV)

So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27, NLT)

[Jesus said,] I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:10b, ESV)

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners… (1 Timothy 1:15, NIV)

We each must not only decide who we will place our faith and trust in to guide our lives, but also who we as a nation will turn to for wisdom. There are only two choices:

The god of this world who seeks to destroy us and our nation,

or

The only true God who created us, loves us, and wants only what is best for us and America.

What Can WE Do?

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: …a time to keep silence, and a time to speak… (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7, ESV)

This is not a time to remain silent. This is a time to speak!

For several decades and still today, sex ed in many of our public schools has been used to subtly deceive young impressionable students. Students are being taught to affirm abortion and some sexual orientations that God does not affirm. That is not only misleading and unhealthy sex ed for youth; it also undermines God’s authority and His right to define healthy sexuality.

The social engineering that is seeking to redefine healthy sexuality has caused great confusion, anxiety and depression among our youth. This deceit has been instrumental in moving our nation away from biblical truth and further from God.

What can WE do? WE, being any American who believes God’s wisdom is superior to the human intellect; WE being any American who wants healthy sexuality to be defined by the God who created healthy sexuality; what can WE do?

WE can pray.

WE can ask God what role He would have each of us play to see unhealthy sexuality education replaced with healthy sexuality education for the next generation.

WE can ask ourselves if there is someone struggling with sexual orientation confusion or post abortion depression that needs a friend to come alongside and affirm God’s love for them.

WE can pass this article on to others to share within their sphere of influence.

WE can each ask God if He would like me to initiate dialogue with someone to discuss the questions and information in this article. If God leads you to someone, we encourage you to initiate the conversation.

WE can choose to do nothing.

There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction. – John F. Kennedy

I often hear the words; we need to fight, or we need to take a stand. That’s true. We do. But whenever I hear those words, I always want to remind myself and others of these verses:

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. (1 Corinthians 16:13-14, NIV)

Fight the good fight of the faith. (1 Timothy 6:12a, ESV)

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. (Ephesians 6:10, ESV)

As WE pray for our nation and the next generations of young Americans, may WE all remember this is not a battle with flesh and blood. It is a spiritual battle between good and evil, truth and lies, honesty and deceit. Together, let’s be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. May WE humbly, yet boldly share truth in love for God’s glory.
