Decency defeated again

1 Comment

Shenendehowa’s Board of Education passed a policy last night granting biological males who “identify” as females access to girls bathrooms and locker room facilities. There were 25 people who got up to speak during the public comments (myself included, see news clips below). 20 were in opposition, 5 in support. I was sure the board would reconsider the policy. Instead they stalled and waited till almost 11pm to hold the vote (so most of the 100+ people and the news media who turned out in opposition to the policy would go home before they voted). Then they passed the measure 4-2. The reasoning they gave was that they were afraid someone would sue them even though the law is on the side of separate bathroom facilities. I stood up a second time and accused them of making a cowardly decision. I’m not expecting a Christmas card this year from the superintendent.

I wound up on the local news on all three networks:

CBS 6

ABC 10

NBC 13

You’ll be relieved to hear that I stopped short of breaking into Shania Twain’s “I Feel Like A Woman” during my comments in spite of immense comedic pressure to the contrary.

The one “transgender” student who was the vehicle for this entire policy that affects tens of thousands of students was offered a private bathroom by the school but rejected it in favor of creating controversy.

I don’t believe the strings here are being pulled locally. This is an agenda from higher up the food chain. The whole thing was shrouded in secrecy for eight months (during which time two board members, Rick Mincher and Mary Wiggins, abruptly and puzzlingly resigned with no explanation). The only reason there was any public meeting at all was because at the last meeting word was leaked that they were voting on this.

How do you fathers feel about a policy, now in effect, that allows a dude to share a bathroom, locker room and shower facilities with your daughter?

“Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot -… so it will be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed” — Luke 17:28, 30

“Now when you see these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads because your redemption is drawing near.” — Luke 21:28

Getting ready for Revelation 13?

Leave a comment

Revelation 13 describes two beasts, the first of which could be understood to be the “antichrist” and the second who could be understood to be the “false prophet” of Revelation 16:13. Could the two horns of the lamb that speaks like a dragon in Revelation 13:11 represent the church of Rome and the eastern orthodox church hierarchies?

In this article, you can see the representatives of the church of Rome aligning themselves with the eastern orthodox church to seek “mutual respect” with Islam. Pope Francis also visited a mosque and prayed facing Mecca. He said that he prayed most of all for “peace”. As the apostle Paul wrote in 1Thessalonians 5:3, While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Be on the lookout for a worldwide military leader to arise out of Islam to complete the “unholy trinity” of the Dragon (Satan), the Beast (the Antichrist) and the False Prophet (lamb who speaks like a dragon).

How does the dragon speak? He is subtle, clever and deceptive.

Interesting rumblings…

The spirit of Haman (antichrist) is alive and well

Leave a comment

Abbas is calling for a Day of Rage in Jerusalem in response to Israel opening the site of the temple mount up for Friday prayers. Currently there is an Islamic mosque erected on the site. This to me is reminiscent of Esther 3:13.

Perhaps another indicator that the antichrist (Revelation 13:2) will hail from the ranks of Islam. Perhaps the false prophet, described interestingly as a “lamb” (Revelation 13:11), will hail from Rome and will unite the false church with Islam, creating a one-world religion and a one-world government.

Implantable technology — the antichrist will love it

Leave a comment

Here’s an article highlighting some “implantable technology” that is coming down the pike really soon. Check out #9! That little bad boy goes either in the hand between the thumb and forefinger, or in the forehead right above the hairline, just like the Bible describes!

As for me an my house, we will serve the Lord. Don’t plan on sticking any of that stuff in this old bird.

Revelation 13:16-7 “And he (the antichrist) causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.”

Don’t be deceived. The antichrist will come with a powerful deception which will be very effective on people who don’t love the truth. How many of Satan’s lies have we bought into already? If we fell for communism and evolution, we’ll be ALL IN when he comes around with the mark of the beast. Christian if you accept the mark, it is GAME OVER! (see Revelation 14:9-10).

I was just thinking about Billy Graham this week, wondering how he was doing.

Then out pops this article. Glad to hear he is still going strong at age 95.

By the way, we’re having a prayer meeting at Temple on Saturday night, October 25th from 7:30 – 9:00pm. Just tell ’em Billy Graham sent you.

The Pope’s Big Tent

1 Comment

Here’s an article describing an attempt by members of the Catholic hierarchy to soften the Roman church’s stance on homosexual unions

I understand and respect their desire to acknowledge the underlying humanity of people who practice homosexuality (after all, gay people are no worse sinners than the rest of us).

The fundamental problem here is that you can’t have it both ways. No matter how much you “soften your language”, you are either going to run afoul of the Scripture or you are going to run afoul of the homosexual community, which doesn’t like to hear that their chosen lifestyle is condemned by it. There is no middle ground here.

People who engage in homosexual behavior are, like other sinners, deeply loved by God their creator. And without prejudice, Jesus our savior welcomes them to repent (turn away from everything the Bible calls sin) and to believe the Gospel (that Jesus paid the penalty for our sin and rose from the dead to make an opening for us into God’s kingdom).

Instead of dancing around the truth, why don’t the Catholics tell it like it is? I think I know the answer. Just like the NFL, they don’t want to appear to be “out of step” with the tide of moral relativism that has consumed our culture. I think the Pope likes the adulation of the masses, and the masses seem to have been swayed toward the acceptance of homosexuality as normative instead of perverse.

All other things being equal, I prefer never to offend anyone (including homosexuals), and I prefer not to be ostracized by anyone. But I must be first and foremost acceptable to God. And Jesus promised that in our quest to please God we would certainly, at times, offend people and be persecuted/ridiculed/ostracized by them. Just like there was no way of Jesus avoiding His cup of suffering, there is no way for us to avoid sharing in His sufferings if we want to share His glory.

Ever wonder why the 7 year tribulation will be so severe?

Leave a comment

I used to wonder why God’s judgments during the seven year tribulation as predicted in the book of Revelation were so severe.

Not anymore. This is a perfect example of why the full force of heaven’s wrath is coming very soon.

The Pope and Me

2 Comments

Well I must admit I found myself agreeing (mostly) with the Pope. There’s a first time for everything I suppose…

Pope’s message about Christian division.

The problem I have is that I presume the Pope, like all his predecessors, is looking to reunite the church under himself and the Catholic hierarchical pyramid. God builds with pillars, not pyramids.

But who knows, perhaps a prominent and humble Bible-believing Christian leader will take the Pope up on his offer to hash out some of the doctrinal stuff — let’s call his bluff. There is MUCH of it (and I mean “stuff” in the worst sense of the word) that has piled up in the Catholic church. In my view, the Catholic church and its near cousins the Eastern Orthodox and Anglican traditions, have followed the “sins of Jeroboam” that we read about in 1Kings, and that eventually got the ten tribes of Israel expelled. Just like Jeroboam, they have built their own man-made religion, man-made priesthood, and man-made doctrines that have no divine origin whatsoever. Like the Pharisees, they have shut the kingdom of heaven against men. They neither enter themselves, nor allow those who would enter to do so.

Sorry for being so critical, but God’s got a book called the Bible. We need to follow it. So Mr. Pope, sir, take your vestments and your rosary beads and your vain repetitions and your censers and your “holy water” and your celibate so-called priests and your prayers to saints and your deification of Mary and the rest of the unbiblical abominations and flush them right down the toilet where they belong. Pick up your Bible and start from scratch. Then maybe we’ll be able to enjoy the unity that Jesus intended for the church.

Dems show true colors calling for funding for Hamas

1 Comment

It may seem strange that Democrats love Islamists, since they also love things that Islamists hate, such as gay marriage, etc. But Democrats crave power above all else. Islam is all about submission, in fact the word itself means “submission”. Therefore, Islamists and Democrats share a common objective: the subjugation and subjection of people that God desires to be free.

There’s another thing that Democrats and Islamists have in common. They share the same master, specifically, the deceiver of nations himself, who is Satan.

Here’s an article about a US Congressman who supports funding for the terrorist organization Hamas and its puppet organization, the so-called “Palestinian Authority”.

The lines are becoming clearer. Ultimately, everyone is either a servant of God or a servant of Satan. It seems to me that as time goes on, it is becoming easier and easier to distinguish between the two.
