This happens when Christians stand in Unity!!

Reports on the Advertising Standards Authority ruling that a TV advertisement that featured angels falling from heaven because they are attracted to the deodorant -must be withdrawn because it is offensive.

The second story involves the Forchini Group responding to customer complaints and immediately withdrawing t-shirts from Markhams stores with slogans that portray women as sex objects.

What both incidents highlight is the power of the consumer to oppose evil and advance righteousness in society. These victories may appear small but they are significant.

Since Family Policy Institute went fully operational in July 2008, they have seen many examples of ordinary Christian citizens standing together to stop injustice & wickedness in its tracks.

Blasphemy in the media was dealt a decisive blow in Feb 2009, when thousands of Christians united to respond to UCT’s Sax Appeal magazine’s appalling attack on the Christian faith.

Unified Christian action also stopped DSTV from launching a 24 hour porn channel in SA.

In October 2010, Christians responding to Woolworth’s decision to discontinue all Christian magazines in their stores precipitated the reversal of their anti-Christian policy.

The sustained campaign against E-tv's anti-family policies appear to have paid off. "Naked News" was discontinued and so far, E-tv has refrained from broadcasting late-night porn. 

In short, Christian citizens have proven that prayer and decisive action works. And it works not only for Christians, but to protect all citizens especially the most vulnerable among us.

Family Policy Institute’s vital work to defend the family and advance Christian values in Parliament, the media and general society is made possible by the faithful support of its partners.

Errol has seen God use this ministry in many significant ways during the past three years. There is much opportunity to advance Biblical values in Parliament. But Errol Naidoo from Family Policy Institute need your prayers & partnership.

Oral and Anal Sex

Check out this very insightful article from one of my favorite Christian Organization: Focus on the Family:

What is Focus on the Family's perspective on the issues of oral and anal sex?


What's appropriate and what isn't?


As a Christian organization, Focus on the Family draws its beliefs about sexuality from the Bible. Scripture makes it clear that sex is God's special gift to a husband and wife within the bonds of matrimony. It is meant exclusively for marriage.

In addition, the Bible has three important things to say about the meaning and purpose of marital sex: first, it is central to the process by which husband and wife become one flesh (Genesis 2:24); second, it is the means whereby they participate in the ongoing work of God's creation through the pleasure and delight of procreation (Genesis 1:28); third, it is intended to serve as a picture or symbol of the union between Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:31, 32). Sex, then, isn't supposed to be "all about me." From first to last, it is designed to function as part of the give-and-take of an interpersonal relationship. It is a holy mystery, a powerful bonding agent that shapes and affects the relationship between a man and a woman as nothing else can.

These are the theological perspectives and biblical principles that should inform and shape any couple's expression of physical intimacy in marriage. From the Christian standpoint, marriage is a relationship of love in which a man and a woman model for each other the self-sacrificial nature of Christ's love for His church. Where there is love, there is liberty, since God has entrusted solely to husband and wife the prerogative of defining the particulars of their sexual relationship — no one else is authorized to tell them how to behave in the bedroom. But love also implies that each spouse is obligated to treat the needs, feelings, desires, and preferences of his or her mate as matters of the highest priority.

The Bible never addresses the question of oral sex in marriage, and for this reason we are of the opinion that this issue must be left to a couple's own judgment. (We realize, of course, that some Christians have strong reservations about oral sex, and we respect their point of view.) Something similar might be said with regard to anal sex, but it is crucial to add that we have special concerns about this practice. Renowned Christian sex therapists Clifford and Joyce Penner report that the majority of women who engage in anal sex with their husbands admit that they do not enjoy it and feel violated. In such cases, anal sex would appear to breach the biblical concept of mutual respect and enjoyment between partners.

There are also serious medical risks associated with anal sex, including the danger of bacterial and viral infections of the vagina, penis, rectum and anus. That's not to mention that rectal tissue is more delicate and thus more vulnerable to tearing and abrasion than vaginal tissue. With these points in mind, we would strongly caution couples against this practice….

How We Dishonor God in Our Sex Lives

We dishonor God when we fail to mirror the Trinitarian reality and beauty in our relationships.
     ~ by Glenn Stanton

We can dishonor God in our sex lives just as we can dishonor Him in any other area of our lives. We dishonor Him when we serve ourselves. We dishonor God in our sex lives when we fail to mirror the Trinitarian reality and beauty in our relationships…

We May Never Use another Person as an Object, Sexual or Otherwise

Pornography dehumanizes sexuality and depersonalizes people by turning the viewer into a taker and the one viewed into an object. The danger is that we start to see others in our lives the same way we see the object in the magazine, movie, or website: as a nobody, a thing that exists for our pleasure.

Therefore masturbation, like pornography, is incomplete because it doesn't involve the communion of two self-giving people, one to another. It's sex for one and isn't God's ideal for us; it's merely taking from one's self and doesn't mirror the nature of the Trinity….

The Monstrosity of Premarital and Extramarital Sex

The human sexual embrace, this most intimate and ultimate of all human giving and vulnerability, ought to take place in a union of total and permanent surrender of two people. That's what marriage is: both the public and personal dedication of a man and woman to forsake all others and give themselves fully—body, mind, and spirit—to another...

Help Stop The Sexualisation of Children!

Following the release of government’s National Family Policy, the South African Police Service (SAPS) recently re-launched the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Units (FCS).

The reinstatement of the specialised FCS units is encouraging news for families especially in light of the recent spate of child abductions, rapes and murders in South Africa.

There appears to be a sudden spike in child crimes around the country. Please encourage your congregations to set aside time to specifically pray into the heinous attacks on children.

I am maintaining pressure on Parliament to finalise and pass the Anti-Trafficking Bill this year. I must commend Zara Nicholson of the Cape Times whose excellent articles exposed the corruption inherent in the sex industry and focussed attention on the abuse of sex trafficking.

Check out these excellent expose's Inside the Sex Trade and Committee Mulls Trafficking Bill

Some more encouraging news, this time from the UK is that the government of David Cameron has struck a deal with Britain’s top four internet providers to protect children from pornography.

Subscribers to four of the UK's biggest internet service providers will have to "opt in" if they want to view sexually explicit websites, as part of government-sponsored curbs on online pornography.

David Cameron will unveil the measures at a meeting with the Mothers' Union, a Christian charity.

The group's chief executive, Reg Bailey, led a review in tandem with Department of Education staff into the commercialisation and sexualisation of children. The Bailey report earlier this year produced a raft of proposals to shield children from sexualised imagery.

The recommendations of the report - Letting Children be Children, published on 6 June 2011 - included providing parents with one single website to make it easier to complain about any programme, advert, product or service, putting age restrictions on music videos and ensuring retailers offer age-appropriate clothes for children.

Government and business will partner on initiatives like ending the sale of inappropriately "sexy" clothing for young children, for example underwired bras and T-shirts with suggestive slogans.

I have sent this report to Home Affairs Deputy Minister, Fatima Chohan. FPI in partnership with the Film & Publication Board is looking at ways to effectively protect children from pornography.

While shopping for clothing for our grandchildren, Arlene and I could not help notice that children’s clothing, underwear and swimwear are becoming increasingly age inappropriate.

The sexualisation of children is becoming a major problem in South Africa. Major retail stores are following this bizarre international trend and must be confronted by responsible parents.

As we approach the Christmas holiday season and in view of the alarming rise of sexual attacks against young children – I encourage Christian parents to please remain vigilant.

If you notice age inappropriate children’s clothing in a store, please politely inform the manager of the increase in sexual violence against children and request he remove the merchandise.

If a store ignores your request, please send the name of the store, its location and the description of the offending clothing to me at enaidoo@familypolicyinstitute.com  so I can pursue the matter.
