I found this out on the web.  It really resonated with me and matches my feelings on this very explosive topic of homosexuality these days.  I have always struggled to put it into words, but Bizzle captured them very well.  He is true to Gods word as well. (Except for some tough words on racism/comparisons in the middle, though it is a very honest comparison to the atrocities that have happened in our past, I think it was very well said and on point, especially the truths about sin and our response to sin in our lives, we all have it.)

After what happened at the Grammy’s, I just felt like this world was slipping faster during these last days.  Evil is on display and very few called it what it was.

Read the lyrics as you listen to it, and see if it doesn’t resonate with your heart and soul.

It might seem small but it is something that has always really bothered me.  Bizzle hits on it in his song:

And that rainbow you using as a gay pride symbol (you stole that)
It represents a covenant with God if you didn’t know
Check Genesis 9:13 for the info

Genesis 9:13 – (NKJV)

13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

Isn’t that just like satan to take something that is good and flip it.

Woe to he who calls evil good and good evil…

Our calling sin, sin is out of love, not hate.  Satan always flips things 180 degrees, that is what we are seeing here.

We all struggle with sins, different sins, each and every one of us but sin is sin none the less.  Some days we win, some days we lose, but we must fight the good fight.  We don’t give up and give into sin just because we lose a battle.  We stand up, ask God for forgiveness and fight on.

God is the answer.  We need to not give up fighting.  God forgives His children and understands our weaknesses and strengths he made us and has know us from before birth.  We are all God’s children through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen! Amen!

Remember, the darker it gets, the brighter and farther our little light shines!

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Lyrics:

But understand this, that in the last days
There will come times of difficulty
For people will be lovers of self
Lovers of money, proud, arrogant
Abusive, disobedient to their parents
Ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable
Slanderous, without self-control, brutal
Not loving good, treacherous, reckless
Swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
Having the appearance of godliness
But denying its power

Woe to he who calls evil good and good evil…

[Verse: Bizzle]
It’s funny how the media portrays things
They really pushing hard for this gay thing
And it’s so wicked how they manipulate things
Can’t even disagree without them making it a hate thing
I say you wrong, and you holla “hate” instantly
But you say we the ones who don’t tolerate differences
There’s a whole lot of things I could say really
But, see your hypocrisy is something I could paint vividly
Saying, it’s the way you was born, and I’m sure that
You lust just like I do just in a different form
But I’m married so if I give into mine, I’m a cheater
If you give into yours, you just fight to make it legal
You rather fight God, then fight sin
The Bible is alright, until it calls what you like sin
And I feel so disrespected that you were so desperate
You would compare your sexual habits to my skin (What?!?)
Calling it the new black
Tell me where they do that
They hung us like tree ornaments, where were you at?
They burned us for entertainment, you go through that?
Mom’s raped in front of they kids, while they shoot dad
Ever been murdered just for trying to learn how to read bro? (Nope.)
A show of hands?
I didn’t think so
So, quit comparing the two. It ain’t the same fight
You can play straight. We can never play white
Using black people as pawns for yo’ agenda
And these sell out rappers will do whatever you tell em’
Skirts on stages, campaigning for that black vote
Afraid to be blackballed, so they play that role
You were never oppressed, the devil was a liar
The only thing oppressed was yo sexual desire
Keeping yo’ desires oppressed is so lame to you
But when you get married, that’s what you expect yo’ mate to do
It angers you, if I compare you to a pedophile
Cuz’ he sick, right?
And you’re better how?
(Man, I ain’t choose this.)
You think he chose that?
(But, I was born this.)
Well, prove he wasn’t born that
But, you were never a girl
He was once nine
So at one time in his life, it was just fine
What makes your loss right?
I’m not buying it
So, put him in that same trash can you threw that bible in
See how that cycle is?
Nobody wants to repent of they evil
So, we all try justifying it
And you say it’s about rights, but you lying tho
Domestic partnerships gave you rights a long time ago
God created marriage, when he did, he defined it tho’
So why is it you want we He created, but deny Him tho?
It’s not wicked enough, switching the definition?
You want it done by a Christian in a church he worships in?
And that rainbow you using as a gay pride symbol (you stole that)
It represents a covenant with God if you didn’t know
Check Genesis 9:13 for the info
Homie, the war is spiritual, you don’t know what you in fo’
I ain’t sayin’ yo’ sin is worse, but it is sin tho
The Lord took the punishment for it all on Him tho (Praise God)
We just gotta repent tho
The problem is if you don’t call it sin, then
You walk as if there’s nothing to repent for
Let’s recap:
We all wicked and desire sin
But imagine a world where no one kept there desires in
If something was called right cuz’ simply we desired it
When yo’ right goes against my right, who’s right would win
As for being born that way
I should never see ya’ll
Ever see use a word like “retard”
To describe someone who was born a little differently than we are
I guess down syndrome really isn’t a thing ya’ll
What do we call yo’ syndrome?
Oh, that term is offensive now when it hits home?
So, what gives you the right to call the way he was born a defect?
I call yours a defect, you feel it’s disrespect
You don’t believe in God?
Hey, the universe says if we all gay
We either die off or have to do it God’s way
And God loves you no matter what you struggle with
At least struggle tho, don’t just give up and quit
Forget how you were born
We were all born in sin
But Christ died for your sin
You can be born again (Praise God for forgiveness)
We were all born in sin
But Christ died so we can be born again
Hallelujah!

[Outro: Bizzle]
And I never want to act like
All gay people are the same because that’s ignorant
But at the same time
What I won’t allow you to do
Is paint this beautiful picture
Like we don’t have people from the LGBT community out here
Running up in churches, disrupting services
Kissing on the pulpit
Out here attacking old ladies
Throwing crosses down and stomping em’
Violently assaulting people
So don’t take my most aggressive lines that you know are to that group
And try to apply it to the friendliest
Lovingest gay person because that’s not the case
And to that struggling Christian right now
Struggling with homosexuality
Fight the good fight soldier
No matter what anybody says
We all have different desires
We all are drawn toward different sin
And my desire might not be your desire
But I have a desire that’s just as strong for another sin
And I have to fight it day in and day out
And sometimes I win and sometimes I lose
Sometimes I stand and sometimes I fall
But fight the good fight
God is worth it
God bless you
No hate about it
I love you

In Romans 10 Paul lays out how salvation is open to all, Jew and Gentile.  He writes:

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” – Romans 10:4-5

What he is saying is now it is not about works or how closely to a “T” you follow the law.  But that it is through God’s gift of grace through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.  It is really that simple, and yet a hard step for some of us.

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9

Christ is the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14), through faith in Him you will be saved.  It is the only “works” that God requires for eternal salvation.

The Marriage Covenant

By Mike Taylor


IN the beginning, Genesis 2.21-24:

“And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

The marriage covenant between one man and one woman is under all out assault in this country and around the world. No longer is the covenant God instituted regarded as sacred with men and women jumping from one relationship to another in a hop scotch of perversions─male with female same sex perversions, and … well, you name it. Liberal society has abandoned the God ordained institution as the building block of a healthy society to its eventual demise and destruction.

As noted in the previous verse, God made one woman for one man, and a man for one woman, and blessed the union of the two being joined as one flesh. He made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Bruce. If Adam and Eve had not broken the commandment of God, none of the problems we have today would be present. But when Eve saw the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the wily old serpent we call Satan, lied to her and tempted her to fulfill her human desire of being “enlightened” to the ways of humanist desires to rule one’s self and “do their own thing.” When God questioned Adam and Eve and their sin was out in the open, God pronounced curses upon them. One of them is found in the following verse:

Genesis 3.16: “Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”

John McTernan did a great job summarizing what we are seeing to prove we are living in the Days of Noah.

No other time in history have we been more like the days of Noah and days of Lot.  Only during the days of Noah were same-sex marriages legal.  Not during the days of lot or even during the days of the fall of Rome. 

We are witnessing prophecy being fulfilled.  God is trying to wake us up and have us turn back to Him.  All of the natural catastrophes can be tied directly back to this falling away and our treatment of Israel.

We need to wake up and step back and look at what we have become as a society!  In the lie of tolerance, we are calling Sin good and normal, and good, evil.

Our society is so upside down.

Modesty is bad.  Morality is bad.  Following the ten commandments is bad, outdated.  Self-control is bad. 

I feel we have passed a point of no return as a nation/world.  The hour is late and God’s judgement on this world is coming.  We have been warned and He will continue to warn us up until the end. 

That being said, it is not to late for individuals to turn back to God.  Faith is personal, it is not religion, it is a personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ.  We must turn back and accept the gift of salvation God is stretching out to us.  Begin our walk with Him, allow the Holy Spirit to come into your heart.  He will comfort you and guide you if you will listen.

We all need to tune into the Holy Spirit during these last days.  He will guide us and show us the lost souls that have not had their hearts hardened and need help into the life boats, only He knows a man’s heart and can guide us.

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Dept of Justice forces employees to affirm ‘gay’ agenda

May 25, 2013

                        Verse of the Day

Philippians 3:20,21 For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Commentary

The LOGO from Dept of Justice

The LOGO from Dept of Justice

 DOJ forces employees to affirm ‘gay’ agenda 05/25/13 Now the real Hard Left is starting to show. They are really reprobates as defined by the Bible. They are now in positions in power and are moving to destroy all opposition. They will not tolerate anyone who opposes them. Think of the entire Dept of Justice and other law enforcement agencies with everyone in lockstep with them or cowarded by them. See: L G B T Inclusion at work the DOJ brochure on promoting sodomy in the workplace.

As Americans turn away from God, people like Obama and Holder have to come to power because they represent America. It is very difficult to watch this process as it is unfolding. America is being turned over to reprobates for judgment.

A DOJ Pride brochure specifies, “DOJ Pride works to make the Department [of Justice] a model employer of LGBT individuals.”

“The DOJ’s distribution to managers of the DOJ Pride document implies that those who fail to actively support LGBT lifestyles are in violation of DOJ employment policy, perhaps to the point of losing their jobs or promotion opportunities.The DOJ Pride document makes no mention of God or of the possibility that DOJ managers or employees might have a personal objection to LGBT lifestyles that that is protected by the First Amendment rights to freedom of religion and expression.”

The dream of homosexuals and the Hard Left

The dream of homosexuals and the Hard Left

Romans 1:24, 25 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26, 27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

The rise of the homosexual agenda is proof from the Bible that God has turned away from America and given the nation over to judgment. Obama and Holder and their homosexual agenda are proof of this judgment.

Hard Left Watch

Military suffers wave of ‘gay’ sex assaults 05/21/13 This is so predictable as putting homosexuals in close quarters with real men will inflame their lust. They need to be separated from normal men. The Hard Left reprobates would rather destroy the military then admit that homosexuals need to be separated from real men.

Judge Napolitano: Naming Fox’s Rosen a Possible Criminal Is ‘Chilling’ 05/20/13 This also is predictable. Obama is a hybrid Fascists. The very first thing the Fascist did, or Communists for that matter, was to control the media. They must do that as part of destroying anyone who could expose their evil actions. think what Obama would do if he controlled the military like he did with the IRS! Obama and the Hard Left would think nothing of anyone who might hinder their agenda. These people are beyond dangerous.
For Minnesota gay marriage sponsors, it’s personal 05/14/13 God is manifesting the reprobate minds at all levels.Conservatives Decry ‘Gay’ Boy Scouts’ Vote, Look to Create New Group Based on Traditional Morals 05/24/13 There is no power left in any institution in America. The Boy Scouts are under the control of powerless people who succumbed to the spirit of antichrist as it gains power America.

GLAAD Pushes Boy Scouts to Now Lift Ban on Openly Gay Leaders, Volunteers 05/25/13 This is their goal. Look what happened to the Catholic Church when the homosexuals had a free reign. The Boy Scouts as we knew it is now dead. America is dying right before our eyes.

DOJ Begged Judge to Keep Fox Reporter in Dark About Monitoring 05/24/13 Notice how these cowards are afraid of their unlawful acts being brought out into the open! They are really criminals but the problem is they are in charge of the nation. In a real sense these are Chicago “gangsters” running America.

Gallup Poll: Majority Now Say Gay Sex, Unwed Births, Are Morally OK 05/21/13 This shows the moral collapse of America and look how fast it came! Look at the change in the last 10 years. God is turning the nation over to a reprobate mind. There is no soundness in the nation, and that is why evil is now in charge.

“In the new survey, 59 percent of American adults answered that gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable, a 19 percentage point increase since 2001 when only 40 percent said it was morally acceptable. Sixty percent of respondents said that having a baby outside of marriage was morally acceptable, a 15 percentage point increase since 2002 when only 45 percent said it was morally acceptable.”

Gay marriage could stop Christians becoming teachers or doctors – church leaders 05/19/13 This is the goal of the reprobate to exalt homosexuality and crush all who oppose it. This is coming to America unless God sends a revival of His Holy Spirit.

Below is a string of headlines from just today.  We are living in the days of Noah.  Our society has become evil.  We call evil good and good evil.

Those that say it is not right to murder a baby are called evil and intolerant.

And yet those that help perform these services are considered good and our president asks God to bless them.

We are told that we are intolerant for calling sin, sin and yet those that embrace sin are considered mainstream?

Maranatha, Lord come quickly!

Here are three different topics that layout the level of deception we are seeing in our society today.

It is insane how bold and blatant it has become.  They do not even try to hide it anymore.

Unfortunately, most of this world is so fast a sleep or already under the spell of strong delusions that those trying to get the truth out are considered the radicals.

Heck, the Evangelical Christians are ahead of Al-Qaeda on the terror threat list for our military.

“Institution of marriage should not exist” – Gay activist admits ‘we lie’ that marriage won’t change

It’s not often you hear the truth from people who lie about their agendas, but here’s an instance in which gay activist, Masha Gessen, admits “we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change” and further says she doesn’t believe it should exist at all

<Note: There is a audio recording of the text below.  Follow the link in the title to the original post on TheRightScoop.com.>

“It’s a no-brainer that (homosexual activists) should have the right to marry, but I also think equally that it’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist. …(F)ighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there — because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie.

The institution of marriage is going to change, and it should change. And again, I don’t think it should exist. And I don’t like taking part in creating fictions about my life. That’s sort of not what I had in mind when I came out thirty years ago.

I have three kids who have five parents, more or less, and I don’t see why they shouldn’t have five parents legally… I met my new partner, and she had just had a baby, and that baby’s biological father is my brother, and my daughter’s biological father is a man who lives in Russia, and my adopted son also considers him his father. So the five parents break down into two groups of three… And really, I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality, and I don’t think that’s compatible with the institution of marriage.”

It’s not about tolerance or acceptance, nor has it ever been. “We just want to get married too…” has always been a lie and it’s unfortunate that people on our side like Bill O’Reilly find it to be such a compelling argument. But this is just a smaller piece to a greater goal of tearing down the pillars of western civilization through cultural Marxism.

Many of you have seen this video but it is worth watching again as Bill Whittle explains the history and the goals of cultural Marxism:

God created us all equal, yes, we are all equally born into sin and can only be saved by accepting the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, where he bore God’s wrath for us to pay the price for our sin.

Homosexuality is a sin, pornography is a sin, adultery is a sin, murder is a sin, hatred is a sin…

None of us can escape sin, we are human, which is why we need a savior.

This is deception and many have been lead astray into believing the lie.

Obama’s Inaugural: If God ‘Truly’ Created Us Equal, Homosexual ‘Love’ is Equal as Well

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama opened his second inaugural address by quoting the statement from the preamble to the Declaration of Independence that all men “are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.”

He then went on to say that if men were in fact created equal, then homosexual “love” must be equal as well.

“What makes us exceptional, what makes us American,” said Obama, “is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’”

“Today we continue a never-ending journey to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time,” said Obama. “For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they’ve never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth.”

A bit later in his speech, Obama returned to the theme of God creating all men equal, and this time tied it directly to his belief that the “law” should extend equal treatment to “the love” of homosexuals.

Do you know the last time in human history when it was “legal” for marriage between same sexes?

Roman times?

No, that was my first guess.

Days of Lot?

No, it was very common to have sexual relations but not marriage.

Sodom and Gomorrah?

No, same as days of Lot.

The Days of Noah is the correct answer.  That was the last time in human history until this decade.

Christ Said:

Matthew 24:36-38 – (KJV)

 36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

 37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

We are seeing sin normalized on so many levels these days, this is just one of many sins.

But it is a guidepost that the Lord put in the ground for those that were watchful, to know when Christ’s return was near.

Luke 21:27-28 – (NKJV)

27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

The Days of Noah, that was the only other time in history!

Wake up and lift up your heads because our Lord’s return draws near!

If you have not asked Christ into your life, the essential gospel is that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and that He was raised on the third day (1 Cor. 15:3-4).  Believing this is the only qualification for salvation.  We are sinners in need of a savior.  Jesus died for our sins, and to prove that His death was sufficient for us,  God raised Him from the dead on the third day. Believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead is our assurance that He will raise us, too.
 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (1 Cor. 15:3-4).

True Love, Homosexuality, and the Kirk Cameron ‘Controversy’

(Wednesday, 14 March 2012 19:56)


By Dr. Ted Baehr and Dr. Tom Snyder

Recently, a few hate-filled activists directed their bigotry against actor Kirk Cameron of “Fireproof” and TV’s “Growing Pains.” Kirk’s offense? He dared to say that God tries to protect us from self-destruction by warning us against such things as homosexuality and adultery and by declaring marriage to be a sacred union of one man and one woman.

 

So much for the godless, phony left-wing virtue of “tolerance”!

As Kirk said in his response, “I should be able to express moral views on social issues. . . without being slandered, accused of hate speech, and told from those who preach ‘tolerance’ that I need to either bend my beliefs to THEIR moral standards or be silent when I’m in the public square.”

Kirk Cameron was exactly correct when he said on the “Piers Morgan Show” that the God declares marriage to be a sacred act between one man and one woman. As some pundits humorously quip, “God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!”

Contrary to what the haters might say, Jesus Christ Himself preached what Kirk Cameron said about marriage and homosexual lust.

In Matthew 19:1-12, Jesus quotes Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:24, saying, “Haven’t you read that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his gather and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So, they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not tear asunder.”

Earlier, in Chapter 5 of Matthew, Jesus says he didn’t come to Earth to abolish God’s Law, but to fulfill it. He adds, in verse 19, “Whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Thus, in teaching these things, Jesus affirms the Law of God in Chapter 18 of Leviticus in the Five Books of Moses. In that passage in Leviticus, God explicitly warns Moses and the Israelites that adultery, homosexuality, incest, bestiality, paganism, and child sacrifice are all self-destructive, abusive and abhorrent.

Jesus explicitly says in Mark 7:20-23, “What comes out of a person—that defiles him. For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders, adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, promiscuity, stinginess, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”

Radical leftists and extremists such as those who condemned Kirk Cameron like to talk about love, hope, change, and other platitudes they don’t really mean, but do they ever define these values? Except in ways that cast scorn on their political enemies while self-righteously extolling their own arrogance and power?

Well, Jesus Christ and His apostles define them.

In the New Testament, Jesus talks about loving God with all our mind, heart, and soul. He also commands us to love our neighbor. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, Paul defines true Christian love for us:

“Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not conceited, does not act improperly, is not selfish, is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love doesn’t delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Thus, Jesus Christ teaches us to tell our neighbors to turn away from self-destruction and cruelly abusing others to believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, be baptized by the Holy Spirit and filled with His power and start doing good.

In other words, the hope and change that America really needs is for her citizens to turn away from evils like adultery, rape, homosexuality, lying, arrogance, theft, murder, and malice and to rejoice in the Truth of the Gospel of Real Love – Jesus Christ.

Kirk Cameron was perfectly correct when he said homosexuality is “unnatural” and “destructive.”

In fact, studies also have shown that, not only are adult homosexual males three or four times more likely to sexually abuse a child or a young teenager, homosexual service men and women in the military are at least five times more likely to engage in rape.

In addition, people who define themselves as homosexual are more likely to commit suicide, more likely to get sexually transmitted diseases, more likely to get depressed, and more likely to have mental, emotional, and behavioral problems.

Finally, our annual analysis of the movie box office shows that movies with no homosexual content whatsoever make the most amount of money.

Given all these facts, why is anyone in the mass media of entertainment still promoting homosexuality and condemning people like Kirk Cameron when they speak out against it unless they themselves have been trapped by the “lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16)?

Especially when their own audience isn’t buying what they’re selling?

Loving people all over the world should work to heal those trapped in the lust that is never satisfied, so they can really love, by learning how to give, share, and care —  as Jesus Christ demonstrated in His Life on earth and in His Resurrected love for all mankind.

This is a tough area and topic to discuss, it is almost as charged as the abortion topic, but I think it is a key sign that we are living in the last days – the Days of Noah.

Did you know that the only other time in history that same-sex marriage was legal was in the days of Noah?  It is true.  Christ warned us to be watchful, and look for it to be like the days of Noah and the days of Lot, then we would know we were in the End Times.

I have always struggled with the fact that everywhere you turn these days you can not escape the media putting the “Alternate Lifestyle” in our face.  It is not that I want it banished to some dark corner but maybe just a little perspective.  If they are truly a minority (an alternate lifestyle), one that needs extra protections evidently, then why is it treated as if it is as common as a successful marriage between a man and a women.  I might argue that if you assessed our society based on our media, you would get the reverse impression, that the healthy marriage was really the minority, but that is another topic.

There is obviously an agenda but that agenda has consequences.  And it is those consequences that are almost always overlooked by our current society and especially the media.  God warned us of all sins, He did that as a loving father.  He does not want to see any of us get hurt and He wants to protect us from this evil world.  Homosexuality is a sin just like all of the others it is listed with in 1 Corinthians.  It is just as destructive as adultery or idolatry or theft.  We all struggle with our own portfolio of sins, being christians of flesh this is our cross to bear until Christ comes back for us.  God gave us the tools to help combat it the best we can, some days successfully, some days not.  But it is through keeping our eyes on Christ that we gain the strength over time to resist more successfully, even thought the sin never truly departs us.  Through faith in Christ, we are of the spirit and not flesh as Paul stated.

Dr David Reagan does a great job laying out the truth, as disturbing and painful as it is.  We can not ignore God’s Word, or pick and choose which parts of His Word we want to believe, we must have faith and trust in Him, modeling ourselves after His Son, Jesus Christ.

God Bless!

Homosexuality as an End Times Sign: Consequences

Dr. David R. Reagan


Let’s consider for a moment the homosexual political agenda. It’s a radical one that most people are not really aware of. If enacted, it would serve to undermine the Biblical concept of the family.

The first goal, of course, is to repeal all state laws against sodomy. Until 1961 every state in the Union had a law against sodomy. Since that time, state after state has repealed its anti-sodomy law due to pressure and threats from homosexual activists and organizations like the ACLU despite the fact that the Supreme Court has consistently upheld the constitutional right of states to pass such laws.

Another goal high on the political agenda is to get special laws enacted that would prohibit any kind of discrimination against homosexuals. The proposed laws are broad in scope. Some would prohibit a person from refusing to rent a room in his home to a homosexual. Others would go so far as to penalize a church for refusing to hire a homosexual, and organizations like the Boy Scouts would be required to recruit homosexual leaders. The most ominous laws are those that would classify verbal attacks on the homosexual lifestyle as “hate crimes.” The latter laws could be applied to media ministers as well as preachers in the pulpit.
