Respect. That’s the word that’s running through my head right now. Watch this:
Hudson Mayor Craig Shubert came to a school board meeting and just shut down the school board!
From Fox News:
Shubert’s comments came in response to writing prompts found in a book called "642 Things to Write About," which had been distributed to some high school students who were taking a college credit course. The material included asking students to "write a sex scene you wouldn't show your mom," "rewrite the sex scene from above into one that you'd let your mom read," and another prompt asking students to drink a beer and describe how it tastes, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.
Who would assign something like this?
Now you may be thinking to yourself, “What’s this bozo got against porn? I mean, no one really cares. People watch it all the time.”
So here’s the deal. I am a Christian. I have been redeemed by Jesus Christ’s death on the cross. Christ’s perfection has been imputed to me. I am viewed by God, not as the wretched sinner that I am, but as righteous, because of Christ. None of this is through my own power, it is because God has chosen me as one of His elect to bring Himself glory. I will not be punished eternally as I so justly deserve. I will be taken to Heaven to live with God forever. Because of this, I have a deep love for God. And because of that love, I want to keep his commandments (John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” [ESV]).
And this is a big issue because of what you just read. Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:27-28 [ESV]).
Jesus tells us that you can sin with not only your actions, but with your thought life. Jesus is saying that lusting is the same as committing adultery. Is it really possible to write “a sex scene you wouldn’t show your mom” without any form of lust?
This Mayor has just stood up for what’s right in a world that is increasingly anti-God and therefore a world with no moral values.
Respect.
