“Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies! Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me and from the snares of evildoers” Psalm 141:4 & 9 Which one of these top news stories really causes your blood to boil? 1) Young girls sold in sexual slavery. 2) OU fraternity chanting racist songs. 3) ABC Family aired two 13 year old boys kissing on "the Fosters" episode. 4) Rise in neglect with the children of meth addicts. Those who read my blog are more than likely upset by all four headlines; but for the average American, headline number three is not a tragedy, it is a triumph! USA Today was so excited about this ground-breaking event that they labeled this episode as one of the most important scenes in television history! (http://college.usatoday.com/2015/03/10/voices-the-fosters-aired-one-of-the-most-important-scenes-in-tv-history/) This gleeful sentiment was shared by a large number of popular news outlets as well. One Twitter message even said, "Super proud of @TheFostersABCF for airing the youngest same-sex kiss in the history of television #Progress #Jonnor." Ah yes, of course, the great catch-all phrase signaling evolutionary success..."progress." But should we view this as progress? Or is it sheer exploitation? The answer depends on who you are: Are you a woman or a man? A Christian or agnostic? A metropolitan progressive or a back-woods survivalist? I will answer this as a father that has two teenage sons... If we were having a discussion on "women's reproductive rights" or "the black civil rights struggle" those who are white males are never really allowed in on the discussion. We are kindly told to keep out, it is none of our business. But on this issue of male homosexuality and it's attack on young boys everyone seems to be allowed a voice; especially feminist elitist women. Their voice always seems to matter the most in our kind, tolerant society these days. But when it comes to this issue, they have no idea what they are talking about; they have not been there and done that. They don't know what it is like being in the mind of a confused teenage boy. So ladies like Rachael Maddow and Oprah, on this issue, shut your mouth and listen for once. We are all swimming in a sex obsessed, romance saturated America; and for a young male, trying to make sense of it is not as easy as you think. Boys, especially around the ages of 9-16, are not wired to emotionally handle the tsunami of gender and sexual orientation debate that is being foisted on all of us by our popular culture. Boys are emotionally vulnerable, and instead of giving them time to grow up and mature, culturally progressive quacks demand that they should be allowed to make life altering decisions right now. Let them be allowed to make sexual choices on their own without interference from their repressive, domineering parents. But young boys are not equipped to do this, nor should they be expected to. And allowing them to experiment with multi-gendered sexual experiences is just plain evil! Not only for the God-fearing Christian is this considered abhorrent sin; but psychologically, this can warp a young boy the rest of their life. Listen to this article I found in Psychology Today as it discusses the emotional growth of young boys: "Scientists are gaining new insights into remarkable changes in male teenagers’ brains that may explain why the teen years are so hard on young people and their parents. From ages 11-14, kids lose some of the connections between cells in the part of their brain that enables them to think clearly and make good decisions. What happens is that the brain is pruning itself—going through changes that will allow a young person to move into adult life effectively. 'Ineffective or weak brain connections are pruned in much the same way a gardener would prune a tree or bush, giving the plant a desired shape. Sometimes, students can’t explain why they feel the way they do. Their brain is changing from a child brain to an adult brain...there’s a portion of time when the child part of the brain has been pruned, but the adult portion is not fully formed. They are 'in-between.' They are informed but not prepared." Did you read that? Young boys can't rightly discern heavy emotional issues because they are still growing up. Boys were made to play in the dirt, hide in the woods, throw a pig skin for hours, and wrestle with their neighbors - - not to question their sexual orientation all because they still are scared to talk to girls or they think they have cooties. In the picture that I attached on this article, this is how the average growing awkward boy feels as he evaluates himself with the world around him. If you don't need to shave yet, and your voice is still high pitched, and you don't want to talk with girls it doesn't mean you are gay...it means you are normal! But we have allowed in the wolves and perverts of popular culture to change the answer to, "Hmm, you aren't comfortable with talking to girls? Your not that into them yet? Maybe that is because you were born gay!" Don't you see, this is "exploitation!" Exploitation is using something that is not rightfully yours for your selfish benefit. I am convinced that the gay world is taking unfair advantage on the emotional instability of boys, and they are using this weakness to legitimize their own perverted worldview. Do you know what kind of world actually awaits a young man who wants to experiment with their sexuality? Do you know the repercussions of allowing yourself to think you may be gay? It is not a healthy lifestyle choice, it is not kind, it does not have your best interest at heart! Instead it is a nightmarish world of bathhouses and lust driven porn sites that offer you nameless one night hook-ups and gets you to experiment on sick twisted applications like "grindr". The gay world is designed to destroy and take advantage of confused young men! I thank God I had a home where I could work through my growing up years with parents who loved me through my confusion, while shielding me from the sex obsessed world around us. They didn't push dating on me, they didn't care if all I wanted to do was play baseball, go swimming at the lake with my sisters, and throw sticks to my dog. My personality was never a matter of my sexual orientation...it was always about me being a part of the Weeks family. Why has the discussion of sex and gender become the number one issue the progressives are fighting about? Why can't we stop all this sexualized madness, and allow our kids to focus on the real things that matter; like showing general kindness, being a good person and developing self-control? Why can we take the time to help our kids learn their talents and skills, instead of who they want to kiss? There is so much more out there in the world to excite our children about than going on a date and shacking up. And we need to be honest about real life: once you do find that right one, sex never should, nor will it, drive the marriage; rather it's enjoyment is always dependent upon everything else in the relationship being healthy. Sex is only the fruit on the tree. Friendship and proper communication is the root system and branches that hold up and generate tasty, ripened fruit. And purity (marriage & monogamy) is the only thing that makes the fruit sweet. Impurity is like poison. Instead of always wanting progress, why don't we for once agree with the bible and go back and "ask for the ancient paths?" (Jeremiah 6:16) It it is there, "You will find rest for your souls!" I think that is exactly what our culture needs...rest!

"And so I insist—and God backs me up on this—that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. They’ve refused for so long to deal with God that they’ve lost touch not only with God but with reality itself. They can’t think straight anymore. Feeling no pain, they let themselves go in sexual obsession, addicted to every sort of perversion." (Ephesians 4:17-19 Msg)
