Wow, what an intense and nearly overwhelming past few days at school I have had. I have to admit, the thought about possibly getting myself out of the toxic and ungodly university environment has crossed my mind over the past few days. I am going to write a bit of a personal post today about some of the things that have been on my heart lately and some of the frustrations I am facing. Frankly, I am getting really tired of a lot of things I have been hearing lately and how I am supposed to accept these ideas and be 'open-minded' and how 'far we have come' in society. Here's the specific breakdown:
I'm sick of professors trying to indoctrinate me and convince me about the benefits of yoga, reiki, mantra meditation, and healing 'mother earth', and telling me to be 'open-minded' about these new ideas.
I'm sick of hearing about how I need to accept and encourage 'sexual diversity' and acknowledge the 'great accomplishments' of the gay liberation movement and the sexual revolutions of the 60s and 70s and 'how far we've come' as a society in accepting and even encouraging the homosexual lifestyle and behaviour that God's Word clearly says is wrong.
I'm also sick of hearing about the 'wonderful accomplishments' of the feminist movements where women are no longer 'trapped' inside their homes or'oppressed' by the 'burden' and 'limitations' of simply bearing and raising children.
Here's what I endured in 1 morning at the university in 3 different lectures/classes
Class 1: all about sexual revolutions: All about 'sexual liberation', the gay and lesbian liberation movements of the 60s and 70s, and how our nation has 'come so far' in our ideas and notions about homosexuality. It also highlighted the 'accomplishments' of some well-known gay activists and we watched a movie about how his actions are an 'inspiration' to the gay community.
***note: I do not condemn homosexual people as I desire for them to be free from sin through Jesus Christ as I do for any other person, but I do not condone homosexual behaviour just like I do not condone lying, adultery, and sexual promiscuity since the Bible is clear that these things are wrong***
Class 2: more about homosexuality as portrayed in books
Class 3: all about environmentalism: how 'mother earth' is crying out, how the earth is overpopulated and therefore we are basically killing the earth, watching a green peace ad portraying the earth as giving 'life' to us and 'breathing', global warming, Al Gore, etc., etc.
***note: I do not believe we should litter, and I think recycling, composting, etc. is a good idea, but what I do not believe in is much of the ideology that goes along with so much of the environmentalist movement that often speaks of 'mother earth' as a living being and verges on earth worship.
So, that was one of my days at school. Today, I got to hear all about CAM (complementary/alternative medicine) in one of my lectures and pro-feminism in another lecture, but that will be a post for another day. Truthfully, I am almost exhausted from another day of hearing all this junk. Unfortunately, I will also have to take some time in the next week to write a term paper and study for a test before I get full-swing into exams.
To end on an encouraging and happy note, however, I am reminded that my home is not in this world but in heaven someday as I've learned in church as we studied in 1 Peter chapter 1.
I hope that 1 Peter 1 will encourage some of you others out there who also feel wearied by the philosophies, ideologies, and methods of this world and are trying to stand firm on the Word in the midst of so much darkness and error in the world.

Oh Jenna...what can I say? I didn't know it was this bad, really. What an eye opener. It's brainwashing...may the Lord keep you strong.
It's remarkable that any come through the system and keep their faith, but then, it is the Lord who keeps us. Keep leaning on Him.
