Destiny Church protesting at the "gay parade”

It is only the radicals that change the world! While many may not agree (and even be angry) with Destiny’s tactics of disrupting, be it the "gay parade,” the drag queens reading to toddlers in libraries or even the painting over the rainbow crossings (all council funded, by the way!). There are also many who agree, as one can see on social media.

While they might be out in person, they are glad someone is doing something to push back on the sexualisation of our young people.

There are now many broken-hearted parents whose sons and daughters have been “brainwashed” into this ideology and have come out as gay, shattering the dreams of the traditional family vision of having natural grandchildren. I'm just being honest; there are not too many “normal parents” who would be over the moon to see their sons walk down the aisle with another man. “You may now kiss the ?” - (put your pronoun in there).

Most would know that 20 or even 10 years ago, this would not have happened; the number of “homosexuals/lesbians (LGBT plus) was such a small number. I can remember one in my school days.
So, are we as a society “breeding” them? Just asking, or maybe it is something in the water - the chloride (lol) or the vaccines (double lol). I digress, obviously!

A few years back, much of society began sympathising with the “gay community”, but the pendulum is beginning to swing back now with the overreach of all the propaganda of "pride month, pride day, pride this and pride that fills the calendar throughout the year”.

Along with the Sky Tower lit up in rainbow colours, Westfield malls, the flags, etc - you have to wonder who and why this agenda is being pushed on society. The media, who we all know are sympathetic to the woke left agenda, along with the Mayor and even the PM, paint these Maori youth as thugs, violent, etc.

And, of course, the coverage is one-sided, falsely reporting on the incident just like they did on the COVID mandate protests, etc.

While this group of youth “man up” protestors are endeavouring in their way to push back on something that many believe has gone way too far. We all agree, I trust, that violence is never good and that peaceful protests are the right action. But half-naked men and women parading openly down the street (in front of children) should not be considered as acceptable behaviour as well.

I smile at Chris Hipkins's comments on Brian Tamaki's “not being a man but a boy” while he himself can’t even define “what/who is a woman" as he dances with his little rainbow flag.

My point to this is this. While many, even Christians, may disagree with these tactics of Destiny Church, one should remember that it is only the radicals who bring change to the world. Think back over history on both sides, good and bad. It is radicals, good and bad, that change society - "Nice, quiet people don’t”

We could talk about the Wilberforces (who abolished slavery) of the world. He was very unpopular in his time (look at the movie Amazing Grace); Martin Luther King and his namesake, Martin Luther, the list is long, people who stood up and spoke up for righteousness. They were often, and normally decried at the time, even by their “brothers and sisters”, but now honoured and thanked for their stand.

Likewise, in transforming the country into the moral decline of our country, we saw the radicals do it: Sue Bradford, Georgina Beyer, Helen Clark, Tim Barnett, etc. (Unfortunately, in this country, this list is longer). Today, we have TePati Maori and the Greens pushing their agendas, so perhaps we need radicals on the other side to endeavour to get the pendulum swinging back to normality.

Unfortunately, our current politicians are not doing it - even with the horrendous abortion laws we currently have. If the current politicians were bringing back some morality to our nation, then there would not be the need for these protests. As the Bible says, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

The interesting thing is that just last week, thousands of Christians gathered to pray for our nation to fill Spark Arena (see my previous post). Being one of the key sponsors/organisers of this event since its beginning years ago, I have not seen one politician or a PM at this event yet. Many will go and support, be it the Big gay day out, etc.

Even though many politicians profess to be Christians, so can I ask which gathering is better for the morality of our country? To the Christians who may be critical of Destiny’s tactics, maybe we should be grateful that someone is standing up and speaking up for righteousness and biblical morality.

Having just watched the Bonhoeffer movie, a man who went from a pacifist (a nice silent Christian Minister) to one who, upon seeing what was happening, began to speak up against Nazism, speaking up for the persecuted Jews, even with great opposition from his fellow ministers at the time who were supporting Hitler. He became a radical against what was happening to his country, sadly being martyred just a couple of weeks before the war ended. Now, of course, he is a hero.

There are not too many who are bold enough, brave enough to stand up, speak up, and put themselves on the line. Even Brian Tamaki spent 10 days in jail for speaking up for freedom, and while the press was all over that, when it went to court just a month or two back, the police had to drop the charges (as they were caught out having given Brian permission to gather). The judge apologised to Brian, mentioning that he never should have been charged or imprisoned. Yet the Press was absolutely silent about that. Just saying it is not all it seems.
