They are coming for your kids . . . right through your church’s front door.
Perhaps you have heard about the startling video (with almost 1 million views) released in July 2021 by the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, in celebration of their recent Pride Month.
A news article posted some of the lyrics of this song and discussed the threats made therein:
In the song … the choir sings such phrases as, “we’ll convert your children” and “we’re coming for your children,” which was viewed as an overt threat to parents.
“You think we’re sinful. You fight against our rights,” one choir member sings in a solo at the beginning of the song. “You say we all lead lives you can’t respect. But you’re just frightened.”
“You think that we’ll corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked,” he continues. “Funny, just this once, you’re correct. We’ll convert your children. Happens bit by bit. Quietly and subtly. And you will barely notice it.”
“You can keep them from disco,” the full chorus sings. “Warn about San Francisco. Make ’em wear pleated pants. We don’t care. We’ll convert your children. We’ll make them tolerant and fair … The gay agenda is coming home.”
If this threat had been made in earlier times, the alarm would not have been so great. But many parents have already become shocked by the brazen attempts by other, more trusted sectors of secular society to groom their children (and themselves) to accept the sinister LGBTQ+ agenda at public events, such as “Drag Queen Story Hour” (or DQSH) and other similar activities, at libraries, restaurants, fundraisers, etc. (A secular cultural analyst has researched and explained the origin and true agenda of DQSH in this R-rated (for language) article, and a Christian discernment writer has also briefly explained its dangers in this article).
However, what many are unaware of is that the LGBTQ+ agenda is surprisingly being pushed in our churches as well. This article will demonstrate that an ever-increasing number of influential “evangelical Christian” leaders have subversively brought this same exact agenda into our Bible-believing churches over the past decade, and now they’re not even bothering to hide it.
As Jude warned his readers (v.4), false teachers will “[creep] in unnoticed,” and Peter (2 Pe. 2:1) cautions that they “will secretly introduce strange doctrines,” such as these modern manifestations: the whole range of heretical LGBTQ+ teachings (derived from the same secular queer theorists who concocted the DQSH); rationalizations in support of, or in sympathy with, abortion; Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Social Justice indoctrination; false, mystical spirituality (including Lectio Divina, Contemplative prayer, and Heavenly Tourism); and even the open apostasies of Pluralism and Universalism.
In addition, most believers do not realize that this leftist, “woke” agenda has already infiltrated nearly all so-called “Christian” parachurch ministries and organizations as well, even those that were formerly theologically sound.
As a result, churches and individual believers are unwittingly funding and facilitating the implementation of the LGBTQ+ agenda they so ardently oppose.
So what are the basic components of that nefarious agenda? Here are just a few key planks:
1) to break down the integrity of the family unit, including monogamous, heterosexual relationships,
2) to normalize the practice of homosexuality by changing definitions of keywords in both the culture and in our churches, even if that requires many imperceptible, incremental steps
3) to ultimately groom children and teenagers for participation in public sexual acts with them (such as DQSH), or as private sexual partners for themselves.
However, as this insightful article points out, instead of preventing and condemning these invasions into our churches, many pastors and church leaders have largely abdicated their role as shepherds and guardians of the truth. (The scriptural passages that instruct our spiritual leaders in these biblical duties are found throughout 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus and 2 Peter).
