BREAKING: “IT’S NOTHING TO DO WITH ME” — Church minister walks away as youth abandoned to LGBTQ+ ideology
On Good Friday we visited a Christian Easter Convention in East Belfast where we spoke with Roger Higginson, minister of Lisburn Free Presbyterian Church.
Roger Higginson is a close friend of Callum Webster, Northern Ireland Officer for The Christian Institute. Mr Higginson is also a supporter of the Christian Institute and has hosted the organisation in his church.
We asked Mr Higginson if he had anything to say about the recent event in Lisburn where Callum Webster of The Christian Institute joined forces with Laoise De Brún, an LGBT activist. Mr Higginson had nothing to say.
While the Christian Institute played a leading role in the event in Lisburn, the official organisers were an organisation called the Family Education Trust.
The Director of that organisation is a man called Peter Williams who released a statement after the event responding to what had happened. He thanked all the speakers, making special mention of Laoise De Brún. Mr Williams clearly has no issue with Laoise De Brún’s LGBT activism.
In his statement Peter Williams said “FET is a secular UK charity without religious affiliation whose main purpose is fact-based and empirical research into matters that affect the health and wellbeing of the family.”
Peter Williams is a Catholic apologist and author, and a speaker for Catholic Voices, an organisation that sends representatives to the media to promote the Catholic viewpoint.
Regarding the event in Lisburn, his statement also said: “The people who took and posted a video including factually incorrect and derogatory statements were not present at the conference, and were thus not qualified to comment on it.”
We find this statement puzzling, as we simply brought the facts about what had happened at the Lisburn event. Laoise De Brún is open in her support for sodomy and anti-christian lifestyles. She has never denied this. In addition, the official event agenda makes it clear that Callum Webster of The Christian Institute played a leading role in the event. We do not see anything factually incorrect here.
The other main speaker at the Lisburn event (introduced by Callum Webster) was John Smeaton. Mr Smeaton was the CEO of SPUC (Society for the Protection of Unborn Children) for 25 years. He now leads Voice of the Family, an international Catholic organisation founded to defend Catholic teaching. Mr Smeaton is also a campaigner for the traditional Latin rite of the Catholic liturgy to be reintroduced, and is the patron of a society which promotes this cause.
The association of Peter Williams and John Smeaton with Callum Webster and The Christian Institute is close and longstanding. Mr Smeaton was called in to speak to Christian Institute staff as far back as 2016.
The most concerning thing about Peter Williams and John Smeaton is that these men treat with abhorrence any Christian who holds to the truth of Sola Scriptura, who uplift the sacred Scripture as the superior and final authority in matters of faith and practice. To these men this belief in Scripture is heresy, and those who hold it are “anathema” (cursed).
This is very serious because it is the Scripture which is so clear on what is happening in Ireland and across the world — the wiping out of Christian belief through the introduction of sexual depravity to children in every school.
We know that Peter Williams and John Smeaton would say they believe in Scripture, but also in the magisterium, in the popes, in the bishops, in the cardinals, and that we would need to get their interpretation. To them the Scripture is not the final authority.
But we have gone to Bishop Martin Hayes in the south, we have spoken to the archbishop and Primate of all Ireland Eamon Martin, asking them to speak out about the destruction of our children, but they have remained silent.
This is why the Scripture is so important.
Ministers such as Roger Higginson are in pulpits across this province and are silent on the destruction of children in schools all around them.
These men are in danger of the judgment of God. This Easter they are the Judas who have betrayed our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Our message to parents is clear. True Christians will “Cease to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge” (Proverbs 19:27). “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20).
It is time to leave these churches with ministers who refuse to give a clear message on what God calls abomination and are happy to see the next generation sacrificed to LGBTQ ideology.
It is time to come out from under these ministers and pastors who join hands with those who are ardent opposers of the authority of the Holy Scripture.
