There she goes/ Supreme Court ruling

Outlawing the Bible as hate-speech is next.  Legalized sodomite marriage and free speech cannot coexist....and with that riding on the back of legalized baby-killing.......

Saying that Hell is eternal torment for those who refuse God's love and His  offer of pardon through His blood in Jesus Christ is also going to be framed as "hate-speech".  It's not nice to make anybody think they could possibly face eternal damnation in Hell.

Everything seems to be pointing to the soon upcoming persecution of Christians if the rapture does not happen sooner.

I have been pretty sad to see all the businesses who have added a rainbow to their logo and friends who have added a rainbow to their Facebook profile.  Even the White House added a rainbow.   So much has changed since he 80s and I remember asking my Dad what AIDS was, and why it was in the news.

Religious freedom has been restricted already but it will be gone soon.  The dissenting justices even said as much.

The U.S. Dept of education had the rainbow behind their facebook avatar for a while but had a lot of complaints so they actually took it off yesterday afternoon.  

The sad truth is in a statistic I heard on FRA radio:  70% of millennials are for sodomite "marriages" verses 49% of baby boomers.  That tells me too many "Christians" have been way too permissive with their children.  I was shocked to find out a lot of IFB Christians that I know personally had actually let their children make the choice to go to church or not when they reached teen years.  Their reasoning, "I didn't want to force it on them and have them rebel and turn away."  Guess what??  They've turned away!!!!  That statistic also shows the impact of public schooling.  It still blows my mind that, "Christians" I personally know, think I am a bit off my rocker for claiming that the godless institution called public school is a sin.  But look at the results.  "Oh if you rear your kids in church, public school wont have an impact"  What a lie straight from satan!  1-3 hours a week in church will never counter 6 hours a day with sodomite loving, God hating, evolution teaching humanists!

Porn, lust are like a lit match near gasoline.  It's just possible this stuff started way  back when.  When they ruled on obscene material.  Once again where you have legal porn you have sodomite marriage or unions.  That's my worry here.  This is just the beginning.  I'm not worried about free speech or religious freedom clearly spelled out.  Where a lot of other derivations they ruled on were not including sodomite marriage.  That 70 percent (young people) millennials are at high risk now of being swept into the vortex of the sodomite lifestyle.  TV is going to make all of this highly popular.  Wise thing for a parent to do is chuck the TV and the computer or take measures.  That includes the cell phone.  I am not sending money to defend free speech or religious freedom to anyone that's very plain.  Nor sit around wringing my hands saying this is surely then end there's going to be a lot of that God told Abraham is there is one righteous man left he would not destroy Sodom.   What I am going to try to do is preach the gospel to every young person or get them a tract I can find.  Even going out of my way.

Unfortunately the so-called "Greatest Generation" gave us the rebellious liberal youth that worked hard to wreck America in the 60s and 70s. The Baby Boomers were even more lax with their offspring, as has those who have come since. Most children, youth and even young adults today have spent nearly their whole lives awash in liberal, secular, sinful indoctrination through public schools, TV, movies, "news", government, colleges, music and even much of what they picked up from their parents.

Sadly, in many Christian households it's not much different. Our pastor often points out that when parents say they don't want to push Christianity on their children, that they are just going to let them decide for themselves what they want to do because they don't want to influence them, what they are really saying is they don't care enough to do what's right for their children and they are going to allow the world to influence them instead, pushing them to accept and adopt the secular, sinful ways of the world. Even so, some parents just go right ahead and let little Billy and Bonnie skip church in favor of watching a movie on TV, playing video games, or engaging in some other secular matter.

It's interesting to notice that such parents will readily admit their children aren't able to make various important decisions on their own yet when it comes to Christianity they think somehow their children know enough to make the right decisions.

Christian parents complain about the stuff their children pick up and copy from public schools but they keep sending them there. Later, these same parents spend thousands of dollars to send their children to secular schools where their children learn all about how to get drunk fast, dress to quickly attract sexual attention, and receive a full dose of anti-Christian propaganda. Then they wonder why their college age darlings come home pregnant, become drunks, think Christianity is the white man's religion of dominance over women and non-whites, hold socialist and communist ideas.

We all know the "sports first" factor which infects many Christian families and leaves many pews empty and Sunday school seats unused because children involved in every sport under the sun, even during church hours, is far more important than the state of their souls and eternal destiny.

We can sound the alarm, provide biblical guidance, but if the parents let it go in one ear and out the other there is little more that we can do. That puts their children at great risk and sets the stage for things to be even worse for their own children in this area. Meanwhile, the average age in most biblically sound churches today grows older each year as children, youth and young adults choose the world over the things of God.

Hi John,  Well I guess I helped "wreck it".  I can hardly remember it.  I was not a Christian back then.  A strange thing happened back then when my grandmother died.  She was the closest relative that I knew that died.  It was like the first funeral I went to.  Things changed.  I took on a lot of my parents values.  Pretty conservative.  I changed my lifestyle.  A lot of people see doom here.  I see a whole lot of people running for cover.  Not just committed Christians.  A lot of young people are probably perplexed, confused.  TV is a a lot of it filled with sin its no conspiracy.  It's just sin filled.  Whats worse promoting the sodomite lifestyle or nudity?  its a clever thing sin is.  A lot of whats sold and the programming all involve sinners enticing  people with sin.  TV has always been that way a lot of people disagree with me of course.  It brings the world your supposed to come out and be separate from into your home.   Saved Christians I don't necessarily worry about thats a pastors job.  I'm no pastor of course I believe in eternal security.  I'm not going to assume all millennials think this sodomite business is swell either.  In a way its like opportunity like say relations with Cuba.  Conservatives may not like it.   Liberals may laud it.  A missionary well he's going to see it as opportunity get his hiking boots on and a plane ticket and go for it.  Thats pretty much all I saw when relations were re-established opportunity for the Gospel.

Something I brought up in my sermon yesterday, is that, until fairly recently, even many non-Christians tended to have at least a sympathetic view of believers, particularly those being oppressed and persecuted. Just common decency. True, not all, but many.  But now, homosexuality has become the 'cool' thing: many youth play with it, declaring at 12 or 13 that they are gay or lesbian, (more the girls, I think, than the boys), its cool and trendy to 'be gay'. As such, with same-sex 'marriage' not all the rage, and everyone on Facebook changing their avatars to have rainbows on them, its not only trendy and cool, its seen as enlightened and possibly the next step in human evolution. So now, to be a Christians who stands against it, means you are standing against love, against progress, against enlightenment, against all supposed good things that will make society a better place, (they believe), so now, standing against, even persecuting Christians is going to be seen as a great help to society, which cant possibly soar with the majestic New Age eagles if they are being weighed down by the Neandertals (sic) who believe in creation, God, absolute truth and hell.  Who would have thought they could actually make persecution of Christians cool and trendy?  

Also, prepare to see the new Popester begin a shift of official church position on same sex marriage.

Of course Ukulelemike.  Its going to be trendy.  Thats not good at all.  I got salvation and was swept out of "trendiness" for which I am really grateful.  Many may not become that way -sodomite.  There's a line you just don't cross over.  It's not convenient.  What I am saying is its not a lifestyle "choice".  It's not by influence.  It's cause.  Then God gives them over to vile affections. The world doesn't get that it is not cause and effect.  It's God purposely giving them over to that.  It could be Gods judgement to hand them over.  That I am not sure however God does that.  For worshipping the creature.  Bible says preach the Gospel to every living creature how that breaks down from the original language I don't know the word "creature" out of Greek or Hebrew.  People may dabble but that isn't their way.  They may say things they don't mean also because it is "trendy".

One of the biggest problems with the citizens of the world is they think continually changing the rules will make things better.  Everyone thinks of changing the world and no one thinks of changing himself.

Thats what more than some of the Bible is about.  I agree.

James 4:4 (KJV) 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

James 4:5 (KJV) 5  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

 

the one that defends the world's standards, the one who defends sin, is an enemy og God.

Amen Standing Firm.  I may not always get there but I try.  Lord willing.  

A story.  I was handing out tracts at an intown festival in a trendy inner city neighborhood.  You know the kind where a lot of the cars have the coexist bumper sticker  Fairly large festival got some lemonade in very very hot weather at a booth that was run by the local Church of God in Christ.  Ordered and the guy I assumed was the pastor said whatcha got? Looking at my tracts.  I didn't hand him one he insisted.  lol.  Got my lemonade meanwhile he had handed it to his wife who after reading it handed it back to me and said:  "We aren't interested".  She didn't say were saved.  Which prompts me to tell them to give the tract to someone that isn't.  I never refuse people tracts.  I don't know if it was because it was hot or what.  I just didn't want to give him one.  

The apostate church's are probably having a hootenanny about now.  I remember that Bishop whats his face causing the divide in the Episcopal church.  That was a big part of this people seem to have forgotten.  The pope is probably winding up with that papal curve ball right about now.  lol.  The Roman Catholics are probably still in Communion with the Episcopal see.  I bet he says something swell.  To try and convince Bible believers hes just jake.  (papal curve).  One day that part of the root of the problem will be gone.

Many today want to befriend the sodomites in order to "win them to Christ later."

Problem is, once they are "friends," they are afraid of pointing out the sin for fear of offending their friend and losing him/her as a friend.

And so, they defend their friend when others point out the sin, making the good guy look like the bad guy.

Isaiah prophesied it would happen centuries ago. People will call good evil and evil good.

 

We'd best stand with Christ and truth, or we will fall with the world

I dunno correct me if I am wrong.  This is the one thing God hands people over to.  Outside of Jewish people I would surmise.  It's not your run of the mill thing.  I dunno that's the one place you find reprobate mind.  Dictionary describes it among other things as a depraved mind.  Which could be.  I have seen it described in Bible footnotes as a "failed mind".  I think its a  more serious condition in any case vs unsaved sinners if there could be such a thing.  Given the numbers vs the general population.  It doesn't occur frequently. Some people go to sodomite parades and use signage, bullhorns, tracts, preach. I won't go to one of their circuses.  If they are there they are there I'll preach and tract but I won't go out of my way.  I never assume someone is a sodomite people really never make it known that they are if your out preaching the Gospel.  Stop and think their condition is pretty far gone.  I hope those who try have success. There are just too many people out there unsaved at the places I go to, youth etc.  For me to concentrate my efforts on one or two people.  However if someone happened to be say in immediate sphere of travel I might try.  The Gospel saves not friendship.

I was looking at the Foxnews website.  They had a story with a video of St. Lukes Episcopal "church" in Atlanta.  It's an intown church.  Those people actually all gave a standing ovation and were cheering loudly because of the Same sex marriage ruling.  I don't know.  lol.  I wonder if those people even look at a Bible.  When we do outreaches and we are near one of those apostate "churchs".  We are really active in seeking those people out.  They need Salvation.
