Mixed Nuts at Lee University
In a March 2019 article published by The Cleveland Banner, Ann Lasley (a Lee University student) described her reaction to our Revival Project. She disagreed with our photos and our message. She identified herself as a Christian, but claimed that “Christians should
not impose their views on others who don’t share them.” Really? What Jesus is she talking about? Not the one I know. What about the Jesus (and His apostles), who confronted evildoers and exposed evil? What about the Great Commission? Sadly, Ann was not the only Lee student who believed this.
Shocking arrogance. A girl in a passing car yelled to CBR staffer Jane, “How dare you show these disgusting pictures! You need help.” Jane asked if she was a Christian. “Yes, and you need to leave!”
Christian, and gay? CBR volunteer Laurice spoke with a protester who was openly gay, holding a rainbow flag, and a sign proclaiming rights for gay preborn babies. Laurice discussed Scripture as well as genetics with him, since he claimed gay people are “born that way”. She affirmed that we at CBR fight for the right to life of ALL human beings, including those who experience same-sex attraction.
Human life: it depends. “Well, I don’t know, it depends on when you think a human life begins.” Is it up to us to decide this question? Or is it up to us to find the factual answer to this question, which has been answered thousands of times already?
Shocking spiritual blindness. One student admitted to CBR staffer Joanna, “I don’t really buy into the concept of sin. Sins are mistakes. You (CBR) create shame, which makes women have to cover up the last mistake with another mistake.” Comments like these make us wonder, “What in the world is this Christian university teaching its students?” Not only does this student seem to not understand the difference between guilt and shame —guilt is good, shame is not —but he doesn’t even accept God’s admonition to recognize sin and avoid it.
Pro-Life on Campus at Lee University
In Spring 2019, we headed to Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee as part of our new Revival Project.
Check out the press coverage of our visit:
Gems at Liberty University
CBR took our Revival Project to Liberty University twice during the 2018-2019 school year. Although we were denounced by students and others, we certainly had many positive reactions as well.
Pro-choice, even in the church. A young man stopped his bicycle and told CBR staffer Mik’aela Raymond that he grew up in a Christian family hearing that “abortion is murder,” but he hadn’t given it much thought. In the last few years he had become “borderline pro-choice,” even while a student at Liberty. He said seeing our abortion pictures opened his eyes and made him think differently about all of it.
Student comes to our defense. The president of the Liberty U pro-life student club complained that we were using shock tactics and were only hurting people. But one of his fellow students overheard and rebutted, “We need to be shocked in order to care!”
Wake up! Vincent stopped to talk with CBR staffer Fletcher Armstrong and was very supportive. “This is a very explicit picture, but that’s how you wake people up. I’m upset that you aren’t allowed on campus; you could do more good there.”
She gets it. A young female student stopped to tell CBR staff member Joanna, “Those are graphic pictures, but they are effective.”
Politically correct Christianity? A young man on a bicycle told CBR volunteer Tony, “Thanks for being here y’all!” A jogger stopped and said, “Liberty is very politically correct and I am glad you are here. What you are doing is right!”
