The Day We Lost
America: Legalized Abortion 33 Years Later
For many years
now, I have heard upstanding Evangelical Christians make
bold statements in public places that it was time to take
America back. Back to what? I’m sure they are referring to
the time when there was no legalized abortion and prayer was
still in the public school systems. I fear that time has
come and gone for America. I feel that if we where to keep
America as it was, the bills that would soon become law,
should have been killed on the floor of debate. But instead,
Americans allowed their representatives all over the country
to vote these atrocities and immorality against Christianity
only to mention the very foundation of the country right
into existence. We have taken no stand when it was of the
utmost necessity and have watched our beloved country slide
back further than the time of the dinosaurs. We have become
animals of society for it is known of certain animals to
kill and devour it young. I have to admit, the American
Indians showed more civilization about them than we have
shown to them. It is no wonder that they look at us with
disgust when they gaze upon a fallen race of degenerates
such as us. I have included all of us because it is us all
that were responsible to each other in the first place. No
one is exempt in this degradation of American society. The
reason I feel we have lost America is because we have
allowed big government to order the day and turn what was a
very small and almost obscure emergency procedure, into an
elaborate but efficient pre-born annihilation system. Yes,
abortion has become a very lucrative industry due to
government intervention. There is no turning back at this
point because everyone, including the opponents, is making
substantial gains off of this flesh depository. It is
somewhat like the American farmers being paid not to plant
crops, just one of many American scams of agricultural
society. I am convinced that big government will do anything
to plead its cause for higher taxation. This flesh industry
is evidence of how low it will descend into the abyss for
its very existence as if there weren’t any other notable
causes it could employ to substantiate itself.
From an historical
standpoint, I feel that the barbaric Roman Empire was more
civilized than America is now. America has reverted into a
pagan society where somewhat like the ancient Aztec’s,
committed human sacrifice to appease the god’s. America is
so infatuated with capitalism that it will stoop to new
levels of degradation for its very existence, all in the
name of prosperity and freedom. All we as American’s have to
do is to just stand by and watch big government worshipped
by corporations which woo and dance with them, perform
eye-popping schemes and scandals with ease and finesse. From
here on out, there will be no stopping the corporate
leverage on big government. We have entered into the age of
American fascism.
We as Christians
in America are encouraged by our very faith in God and the
Holy Bible to pray for its leaders and for those who wield
power over our society. I fear our prayers are going
unnoticed and unheard because of our willingness to stand
back and allow such atrocities take place with the approval
of our tax funding support. When it comes time to stand
before Almighty God, all American’s, which includes me, will
have blood on their hands to account for the millions of
un-born, aborted, and voiceless babies so graciously given
to us from the very hands of a loving God. It is not God’s
fault to carry through with the divine plan of procreation.
He is just being faithful to His promise of creation. He
encouraged Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply and He
would carryout the rest. I don’t believe God ever intended
for us to be as careless and promiscuous with our bodies as
to bring about catastrophic consequences of un-born deaths
in America.
This human
sacrifice has reached unprecedented, astronomical heights,
and at this point in American history, I feel it is only
right that we give Nazi- Germany an apology and apologize
for the slander, hurtful charges, and bodily harm brought
upon those responsible, which were handed down thru the
European courts against their doctors and nurses and of
their master-minding of the Holocaust. Nazi-Germany would
never have imagined that America would so soon follow her
lead in human atrocities. We are the pot calling the kettle,
black.
About a year ago,
as I was on the job, I had to stop by the dumpster and throw
away some boxes of trash. As I opened the sliding door of
the dumpster, I immediately noticed just the hull of a
wooden model ship, a scaled down replica of a 18th century
schooner, lying right on top of a bag of trash as if someone
had delicately placed it there as to give it one last
farewell. It might not seem like anything to you but, it was
no question for me to pick it up and with joyful glee
carefully place it securely in my van. I could not believe
what had just transpired and was elated with my new find. No
one knows how I have always been enamored with the tall
ships of the 17th and 18th century and to find one in such
good condition was just beyond my wildest dreams. Of course
it was just a hull of a ship with no bow-spirit, masts and
jibs, but I could envision every painstaking step to be
incorporated with its final assembly. I sat for some time
just looking at the lines of the hull and took very carful
notice of every piece of lumber that had already been part
of its wooden construction. It wasn’t hard at all to
envision the continuing work culminating into a wonderful
masterpiece of 18th century sailing nostalgia. I enjoy
everyday and every moment I can sit down between times of
the ministry and secular job with it and carefully as I can
plan, shape, cut, and assemble every minute detail of this
wonderful work. No doubt, it will be a continuing work in
progress for some time. I have named it Chase II, after my
youngest grandson.
I wish there was a
way I could get fellow Americans to see the importance of
this nations most treasured resource, our children. I don’t
understand the mentality and mind-set of how a mother-to-be
can just casually discard her un-born child as someone did
this wonderful piece of woodcraft art like I found in the
dumpster one anonymous day. As I gazed upon this work of art
in the dumpster and dreamed of better days ahead, as I long
for the day that Americans will wake up and realize that
there are people here that cannot see a Childs potential
even before it is given a chance to breath on it own in a
new world. Every child deserves the opportunity to be born
without the fear of its own flesh and blood contemplating
discarding it like some piece of unwanted refuse. It isn’t
the child’s fault it began its life at a crucial point of a
promiscuous mother to be. Or, be the subject of a couple who
place their careers above human life. Yes, I long for the
day when America stands up and demands that enough is enough
and makes a way for every un-born and children of any age
alike, are protected by law. We owe it to our children to
give them every means possible in this great land to become
what a sovereign and providential God has in store for every
individual. In this way, I feel we will honor God and our
children, lest we forget that it is God alone that decides
to make the womb barren or fruitful. Children are a gift of
God and we are unashamedly rejecting these wonderful gifts
of life. Let us all work together to take the fullest of all
advantages of our God given natural resource, our un-born
children.
“When my father and my mother forsake
me, then the LORD will take me up.”
Psalms 27:10

Insight
to the New World Order
Have you heard of the Trilateral
Commission? Can you speak French and Spanish? If not, I fear
that we are going to have a hard time acclimating to the
North American Future 2025 project. The ratification of
NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) with Canada and
Mexico in 1994 marked the beginning of the end for what we
now claim as sovereign America. Yes, you read correctly. Our
President and members of Congress are working relentlessly
behind closed doors in an effort to secure lands and
corporate businesses, not to mention immigrants to bolster
and secure the economy of not only America, but also Canada
and Mexico. As I see it, the problem lies with the U.S.
populace having no say in this mammoth merger of these
border countries. I question what our country’s founding
fathers would say concerning this action for the progress of
America. Were the battles of the American Revolution that
were fought against England on Canadian soil in vain? Was
the battle involving Mexican troops at the Alamo in vain? I
ask where is the Sam Houston’s of today that we so
desperately need to awaken our government. If we live to the
year 2025, there is a very good possibility that as American
citizens we will witness what has already happened to all of
Europe. The European Union is a sui generis supranational
union, made up of twenty-seven member states, and is best
described as both a supranational and an intergovernmental
body. In essence, the European citizens can freely invest,
live, travel, and work in other member states, with some
temporary restrictions in new member states. However,
passport control and customs checks between most member
states no longer exist. As they now have the Euro-dollar, we
will eventually buy and trade using our own North American
currency "Amero-dollar" while participating in global trade
initiatives as well. China and Japan are currently working
as well to merge their countries. I view these monumental
mergers as a culmination to one end, "The New World Order."
"[The New World Order] cannot
happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most
significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World
Order, and it will force the United States to change its
perceptions." -- Henry Kissenger, World Affairs Council
Press Conference, Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, April 19th
1994
"We shall have World Government,
whether or not we like it. The only question is whether
World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent."
-- Statement made before the United States Senate on Feb. 7,
1950 by James Paul Warburg
"All of us will ultimately be
judged on the effort we have contributed to building a NEW
WORLD ORDER." -- Robert Kennedy, former U.S.
Attorney-General, 1967.
"I am concerned for the security of
our great nation; not so much because of any threat from
without, but because of the insidious forces working from
within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
"The real menace of our Republic is
the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls
its slimy legs over our cities, states, and nation." --
Mayor (1918-1925) John F. Hylan of New York.
"Fundamental Bible-believing people
do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in
their religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing
them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a
one-world global society and their children will not fit
in." -- Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland, speaking
on radio in 1983.
As you can see for yourself, America
and the long-standing traditions to which she is accustomed
is about to disappear before our very eyes. I wonder if all
the men and women, who gave their lives for this country in
all wars past, would consider doing it again with this
agenda from a fascist regime. This is the very thing we
fought against in WWI and WWII. Our boys, home grown in good
ole USA made the ultimate sacrifice in determination to
preserve these United States, as we know them. Now, it is
our very government, along with Canada and Mexico, planning
to pull down all borders while attempting to administer
lucrative free trade amongst the entire North American
continent, including South American countries such as
Columbia and Venezuela; countries that are known as drug
running and anti-American countries.
I venture to say there is one very
important issue omitted from these discussions, the issue of
acquiring all the merging countries crime, health-care, and
economic miseries. It is no longer a matter of IF they come;
it is now, WHEN they come. They will bring with them all the
infestations of human misery, more than we have ever
encountered before in our lifetime. We currently have
sporadic samples of this crime and health-care bleeding
every American city from border to border. The Federal
government is passing legislation to hinder local law
enforcement to act on their own accord to deter the illegal
immigrants already here. While in some places, established
legislation now offers assistance to their impoverished
families in Mexico, Peru, and South America. We will have no
choice but to build more prison facilities just to house the
criminals, resulting in an additional expenditure of
hard-earned tax dollars for apprehension and deportation
efforts. The potential losses will be devastating to America
and every American family will reap the whirlwind of our
government embracing this fascist agenda.
As I am sure it is evident by my
writing, I am not in favor of this New World Order. I feel
that I am facing many hard decisions in the near future.
However, I am not alone by any means. This is the very
reason that government is moving slowly yet methodically to
ensure the success of these future transitions. This type of
government will not be tolerant of patriots or anyone that
cherishes what we now have in place. The moment will soon
come; you will have to make very important decisions for
yourself, your children, your entire family, if we are going
to survive this New World Order. The day for serious
decisions is here and now.
"Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.:"
Isaiah 26:3

"22Then was brought unto him one possessed with a

said, This fellow
doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the

unto them,
Every

Matthew 12:22-30
For some time now, I have felt
that the Church is suffering and reeling from within.
Congregations as a whole follow aimlessly as their pastors
lead them into a liberal assumption of Bible scripture. The
acceptance of the gay community into the Church has become
so controversial that it is most likely to bring disaster to
every church organization and that disaster is by design.
The Scripture stated above provides
insight to what Christ Jesus told an unbelieving people
about the consequences of lack of discernment. These
Pharisees, religious unbelievers, were accusing Jesus of
casting out demons by the power of the devil. Of course, our
Lord sees the dark, demented hearts of these false accusers
as it seemed the dumb and blind possessed by devils were not
the only ones guided by Satan. Christ gives the spoken Word
of wisdom and later on, in this passage of scripture, He
warns them of the consequences of blaspheming the Holy Ghost
by attributing His works to the dark works of Satan. I am
sorry to say that this is exactly what the modern day Church
is guilty of today. I fear Church denominations have made
the grave error of attributing the works of Satan as the
work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Satan has strategically
placed his Pharisees within the local churches with the gay
agenda on the planning board.
In this day and time, Church
denominations across the country are forced to deal with the
growing appreciation of gays and lesbians that yearn to be
accepted by all society, including the local Church. I must
be blunt and admit; Satan has a winner this time, or does
he?
It has always been my assumption that
when an individual decides to approach an organization with
intentions of joining that institution, the individual is
encouraged, if not required, to meet the criteria of that
particular institution. As an example, I visualize an
individual attending a Mason or Shrine organization with the
intention of proselytizing them into another agenda. No
doubt, that individual would find himself or herself
standing on the outside street sidewalk with broken dreams
of joining that organization. This scenario attests that an
established organization firmly believes in adhering to the
program previously accepted, much unlike the local Church
today. When it comes to Church, are we to accept any persons
without question of moral character, unrepentant in nature
and living in open, gross sin? If this were the case, we
will have to make a conscious effort to apologize to the
drunkard, the prostitute, and the pedophile that attends the
local assembly and in some cases, hold offices within the
Church. I do not believe that Christ Jesus will be so
gracious as to accept a person when that individual has in
his or her possession an unrepentant heart of their sins.
The very reason for the Church, designed by God, is to serve
as a beacon of morality, justice, and social order. This is
an institution ordained by Jesus Christ and guided by the
Holy Bible.
Yes, the Church is under attack. No
doubt, Satan seems to think that he will surely win this
battle as might well be the consensus of those on looking.
However, there comes to mind one very important verse of
scripture that refutes this analogy, Matthew 16:18; "…. and
upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it."
This verse
assures us that no matter what Satan throws at the Church,
the Church will survive. We must remember that within every
denomination there remains that faithful remnant refusing to
give into the pressures of this world. These trials could be
the fiery tests that God allows every now and then, purging
His Church from worldly corruption. God does seem to have an
uncanny way in exposing the Pharisees that inundate and
plague His Church in every generation.

Pro-Gay Church
Teaches Members How to Stand-Up and Influence Society
Would you encourage your child or
someone that you love to ingest a substance known to be
detrimental and poisonous to the human body? Of course, you
wouldn’t! Therefore, I cannot comprehend why a church would
promote and endorse homosexuality amongst its members. How
is it possible for a church to adopt a pro-gay agenda unless
they refuse to use the Holy Bible as a spiritual guide?
The church to which I am referring is
the Metropolitan Community Church, which was in conference
in Phoenix, Arizona. I personally do not recognize this
church as a legitimate church. In my opinion, it is nothing
short of a social club for the misguided and disillusioned
reprobate minds that inundate society, hiding behind the
guise of a 501c3, tax-exempt organization. I base my
statements upon this organization’s stance toward the
acceptance of the homosexuality lifestyle; there is nothing
spiritual about it. No doubt, this is another of Satan’s
tactics to dissuade and pervert the truth regarding this
"alternative lifestyle." According to the Holy Scripture’s,
it is an abomination to our very Creator. This open and
flagrant plague to society is no doubt, endorsed by a people
who do not believe in a God of creation, a standing social
order as is demonstrated in all creation. I ask; who is to
blame for this insult to a heterosexual society that is
established by a Holy God? I have but one answer; pastors of
local, mainline denomination Churches, who believe in a Holy
God, yet are accountable to God for not teaching and
preaching the truth. It is most unfortunate that people
without certain knowledge and understanding will follow
anyone who caters to the wicked desires of the human flesh.
Satan capitalizes on this character flaw of profit seeking
entrepreneurs with impeccable accuracy and cunningness. Note
that I refuse to call them by a holy calling.
Sexual debauchery is gaining momentum
and continually demonstrated by the pornography industry in
which women are the prey. Homosexually, while preying on men
and women alike, is a mockery to the institution of marriage
that is ordained of a Holy God. When have you heard a
television Evangelist preach against homosexuality while
being broadcast? You haven’t, and you never will. This topic
is not considered to be politically correct, not to mention
that a message against such crimes against nature would
decidedly mean his or her demise in a successful, lucrative
ministry. Yes, I do blame the pastors for this despicable
atrocity of apathy, negligence, and ineffectiveness in the
community.
As we have all heard many times, so
goes the home, so goes the church, and so goes the country,
producing the trickle-down effect in which there is no
winner. All the hopes and dreams of a bright future fade
into a fog of deceit and treachery. It is high time that we,
as true believers in a Holy God, step up and be counted as
men and women of integrity. If ever there was a time that
America needed to hear your voice, it is now. Her only hope
for survival is to be inundated with truth and honesty
surrounding this subject of homosexuality. It is time for
today’s Christians to overpower verbally the minority that
is bent on the destruction of the home. While poisoning the
influence of the church that Jehovah God ordained, they
continue to take charge of our liberties while squelching
the voices of those who believe and stand firm on human
decency in society. If there is an ounce of conscience and
moral decency remaining in any of us, we must take a stand
on behalf of our children who will eventually inherit this
wayward society.
"12But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be
taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they
understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own
corruption; 13And shall receive the reward of
unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in
the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting
themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with
you; 14Having eyes full of adultery, and that
cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart
they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed
children: 15Which have forsaken the right way,
and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of
Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16But
was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with
man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17These
are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18For when they speak great swelling words of
vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through
much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who
live in error. 19While they promise them liberty,
they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom
a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20For if after they have escaped the pollutions
of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and
overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the
beginning. 21For it had been better for them not
to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they
have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered
unto them. 22But it is happened unto them
according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own
vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in
the mire."

Episcopal
Priest of 23 years Converts to Muslim Religion
Just the other day, I ran across the article of an Episcopal
Priest that was continuing to practice as clergy at St.
Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle, Washington. She had
evidently made an extremely bold confession to both the
Episcopal Church and the press of her decision to combine
her Christian beliefs along with her new found religion of
Islam. Needless to say, I was flabbergasted and appalled at
this atrocious and ridiculous acclamation. This isn’t the
first time I have been insulted and felt degraded by another
religious denomination.
The Reverend Ann Holmes Redding has undoubtedly conjured an
audacious attempt to belittle all Christendom. I can just
imagine what the Muslims must be thinking; agreeing that
they were correct in their feelings toward Christians all
along. They most assuredly consider us to be weak, timid,
blind, and without a strong leader who will stand in the
face of adversity. Personally, I respect the Muslims for
their sincerity, even though I believe they are sincerely
wrong in their pagan worship, unlike the Rev. Redding who
portrays one who willing to sell out their religious beliefs
just to accommodate the winds of change. This absurd change
in the life of Rev. Redding leads me to question the
validity of her faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. If
she truly knew the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour and that
His atoning blood washed her sins away for all eternity, she
would know in her heart that there is no other god than the
Triune God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is known among Christians as the
second of the Triune Godhead. We have always adhered to
faith in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit; these three are one. On the other hand, to believe
in Allah as Muslims do, one would have to deny the Holy
Trinity and denounce Jehovah God’s only begotten Son. In our
western culture, the Muslim “god of the moon” seems to be
mistaken for the same God Jehovah, the God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. The truth of the Muslim’s god, Allah, is a
pagan god of antiquity. Before their prophet Muhammad, the
Moon god was known as Hubal while during Abraham’s time,
this Moon god was known as Sîn.
As born-again Christians, we believe in the Son of God’s
selfless sacrifice at Calvary, to redeem us from our sin and
iniquities. With this faith in the blood of Christ, He
cleanses us from all sin and places us into the family of
the Living God Jehovah, known as the Kingdom of God. My
opinion is that if there ever was an infidel in
Christianity, it would be this Episcopalian Priest. I was
glad when the Episcopal Church demanded she step down for
one year. Although I remain eager to see what the Episcopal
Church will allow as the apostasy gains momentum.
“1But
there were false prophets also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall
bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by
reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”

Pro-Gay Sex-ED Curriculum Passes Maryland Board
To
Whom Do You Pledge Your Allegiance?
Many may consider the combination of two articles for an
editorial odd, yet as they seem to go hand in hand, I could
not expound on the one without the inclusion of the second.
Though a minister of the Gospel, I believe myself to be a
devoted patriot, and hold the Constitution of the United
States in the highest regard, second only to the infallible
Word of God. Since my early days in the ministry, I have
believed in the separation of the church and state, with
that belief compounded by my in-depth studies of early
church history. However, our forefathers that penned the
Constitution and Bill of Rights were men of strong moral and
Biblical character, basing much of the contents for each
document upon the moral aspects of their Christian
upbringing. Therefore, I find it disturbing when our states’
leaders find it necessary to purposely pass into law bills
that override the precepts as given in the Holy Bible. Many
of the men in legislative power no longer share the
God-fearing zeal of our founding fathers. Amendments and new
laws are now based upon polls and not the soul’s moral
fiber. Their own personal agendas and insatiable desire for
political advancement are the driving forces behind the
changes.
I enjoyed tremendously the article submitted by Dr. Richard
Land in which he discussed the subject of loyalties, and
strongly urge every Christian to read it. It was his superb
description of this separation that prompted this editorial.
As pastors of the local assemblies appear more adamant than
ever to promote a militant attitude toward our enemies, they
lead their flock into a more governmental allegiance rather
than an undying allegiance to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus
Christ. I stand firm in my belief that to display the
American flag in the midst of the church congregation is an
outward display of loyalty to the State above God Almighty.
I believe it is only a matter of time until we, as
born-again Christians, will be forced to decide upon whom to
place our loyalty, God or the State. My prayer is that we
will never witness this day. However, in light of the Book
of Revelation, I feel it is inevitable. I will add to my
remarks that for any proclaiming child of God to resort to
militancy is surrendering to the lusts of the flesh and
rebelling against the teachings of the New Testament
scriptures.
One can easily surmise the spiritual temperature of the
Church as well as the conscience of the community by the
content of the laws each State passes or even considers for
passage. No denomination is blameless. I ask if evangelical
Christians are so in tune with the community, including the
public school system, how and why are such laws coming into
place? As born-again Christians we have made our presence
known in the past by using the ballot boxes, forcing the
government and the American society to acknowledge us and
our Biblical stand on issues.
It would appear that the State is assuming the role of the
parent because of the parent’s inability to do the right
thing by their children. The school systems are determined
not to tolerate anyone or any organization insistent on
remaining intolerant of the status quo of certain radical
States, such as Vermont, Massachusetts, and California;
states where homosexuality and alternative lifestyles are
virtually unopposed. Many public school systems are headed
by atheist scholars that have their own doctrines and seem
determined to propagate atheism while frowning at
dissenters. Teachers daily attest to the demise of the
traditional home and it is this failure of the home that
accounts for the lukewarm temperature and ineffectiveness of
the local Church. If you believe the Church is so effective,
why does the pro-abortion law remain on the books across
America? If the Church is so effective, why is the wholesale
of witchcraft so much fun for young people and seemingly
promoted by every company selling books and videos? Another
evidence of the Church’s ineffectiveness can be seen in the
failure of the home, in part due to the role reversal of the
mother and father, or in many cases, the single parent home.
There was a time that women were forbidden in our Church’s
pulpits. However, this role reversal propagated by the
compromise of the Church has now found its way into many of
our homes today; an adamant display of rebellion of the New
Testament scriptures and is contemptuous of the social order
of God.
The traditional family today is looked upon as old-fashioned
drudgery, laden with guilt and hypocrisy while slowly being
degraded and destroyed by the influence of depraved rock
stars and Hollywood. Promiscuous sex within the Church is
the norm while divorce and adulterous re-marriages are at an
all time high within the modern day Church. Our communities
are without commitment to each other and lack moral
consciousness. It is society’s satisfaction of their lustful
desires that account for the significant increase of
illegitimate births across our country today.
Our states firmly contend that if the single parent or the
traditional family does not step up to the proverbial plate,
they will. It is no wonder that the gay and lesbian
individuals offer to society an alternative lifestyle. They
too are products of the broken home or reared by the single
parent and in the mercy of the world. They attest that their
ideology cannot be worse than what they have personally
experienced as children, degradation, and hypocrisy. The
Church now embraces homosexual leaders who are accused of
indecent liberties with our youth and as such, is guilty of
aiding and abetting gross sin in the camp. As the home goes,
so goes the Church. I fear our country is lost along with
those civilizations that have passed off the earth into
obscurity.
It does not have to continue in this fashion. Hope and
change is within our grasp. Because Jesus Christ lives,
there is hope for our Church, community, and our country. I
want to encourage Christians to look to the local assembly
and ask for accountability of the pastors. Yes, they are
accountable to the Church and to Christ. We, in turn, are
accountable to Christ and the Church. I encourage the
pastors to ask of the flock to be more involved in the
Church which will become an overflow to the community. When
it is time to cast your ballot, remember the ones who are
not aware of the demise of morality. We owe it to them to
point them and encourage them with consciousness and moral
fiber, to share our love and devotion to Christ Jesus.
As for a remedy to the public school agenda in Maryland, I
encourage Christian parents to pray about enrolling their
children into a Bible believing church school that remains
separated from the State. If this isn’t financially
feasible, pray about home schooling your children. You, the
parent, the very one that God originally intended to be
responsible for rearing those precious gifts of God, will
lead your children into the right paths of honor,
accountability, and moral fiber for Christ’s sake and for
the sake of the community.
