It is becoming much clearer now. Our social reforms and legislative reforms, together with the learned opinions of “enlightened” Papua New Guineans, indicate an increasing line of thinking that PNG must no longer remain God-conscious if it is to be a modern State. Sentiments are creeping in that we no longer need God to prosper; that man is the Superior Being and must save himself without subscribing to a “make- belief, invisible being” to bail him out.

This subtle mindset-altering onslaught is sadly being pushed by a tiny yet powerful minority. Look around you and watch who controls our mainstream media. Watch what makes the news. Watch what doesn’t make the news. Watch the increasing use of words that sound worthy and noble yet promote a conscience that disagrees with the mind of God. Watch the onslaught of legitimate social concerns that, looking deeper, stamp out the Need for a God.

Nice words such as “empowerment”, “freedom of choice”, “human rights” are eating away at God’s perfect order; breaking down all absolutes and making everything relative. Even the term “Unconstitutional” is made to drive a premise that what values we held on to as an ancient people are no longer applicable and relevant. Watch how acknowledging God may soon become Unconstitutional...if those who believe in Him stay ignorant or silent. Watch how His Moral Standards are brought into question by champions of social reform.

I recently came across our Education Department’s “Behaviour Management” policy: a policy guideline to improve the behavior of school children. One page has a list of roles for students. Role # 2: “Treat peers in a caring and friendly way regardless of their gender, sexuality, health, disability, religion, race or cultural background.” Am I the only one who sees a problem with one of these standards? “Sexuality” has been included in a yardstick that would usually only have “colour, creed and sex” not “sexuality”. That wasn’t a basis for potential discrimination...until a depraved form of sexuality burst into the conscience of man and society; pushed of course by those of that “sexual orientation”, and those not accepting God’s moral order, desiring to have the society accept it as an “alternative lifestyle”. Now my children who would most likely go to public schools will have to be taught that “homosexuality” is an alternative, legitimate orientation just like heterosexuality. The child must therefore be respectful to his male classmate who finds his male best friend sexually appealing. A prerequisite for not being discriminatory is the acceptance of the “naturality” and “okayness” of that sexuality. Now the “sinner” person will be the discriminator and not the practicing homosexual person. See how social values are engineered and re-engineered to remove the God- conscience?? Surely you see it!

And the terribly sad thing about that National Policy: Nothing supporting the input of Christ’s Body: The Church. Nothing Religious. Nothing Christian. It’s all just Man-Made solutions...Solutions to Man-Made Problems.

Are there any God-believing people in our Education Department (or anywhere) who can discern such subtle God-removing tactics and oppose them bravely? Shall we allow one advisor and one technical officer, from an international organization with lots of money, to determine the conscience of our nation? I say...no, I scream...NO!

How one word, unchecked and unquestioned by ‘enlightened’ Papua New Guineans, ushers in a no-God conscience in the very young?! Sounding good and sounding right does not make something right nor good....unless of course if we judge so by man’s standards—ever- changing, ever-differing, ever-failing, ever-seeking, merry-go-round man...

If we allow the removal the God-conscience...WHAT THEN SHALL SAVE PAPUA NEW GUINEA???

I say only GOD...so let’s keep Him!

HEAVENISE DAY!
