It's Getting Hostile Out There |
|
Jonathon Falwell, son of Jerry Falwell and pastor of the great Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, published this article. I thought it was excellent and pass it along to you for your consideration.
It’s Getting Hostile Out There
In John 15:18, Jesus told his disciples, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you” (NKJV).
These are encouraging words to Christians today, especially as we witness acts of aggression taking place against those who attempt to live their lives according to biblical principles.
Most prominently, I refer to an incident this week in Delta Township, Michigan, at the Mount Hope Church, where a group of militant homosexuals entered a service and began shouting and throwing fliers at members. Their shouts, according to reports, included: “It’s OK to be gay,” and “Jesus was a homo.”
Outside the church, other protesters carrying pink crosses and shouting “bash back,” banged on buckets during the service and allegedly pulled a fire alarm.

I did not vote for Barak Hussein Obama for a hundred and one reasons. His being black is not one of them.
I heard Carl Rove use a term on television the other night that I had never heard before: “post-race.” He used it to describe younger generations of Americans who simply do not think in racial terms. In other words, they would no more refuse to vote for a man because he’s black than they would because he prefers Coke to Pepsi.
That’s where I am. |

Do we give the devil a victory when we hide from Halloween? I came across this article on the subject of Christians and Halloween, and pass it along for your consideration...

Ray Boltz and His Sexually Confused Generation |
Someone coined the term "The Greatest Generation" to describe the men and women who fought the Second World War and launched America into a prosperity unlike any the world had ever known.
Alas, for all their greatness they raised what could be arguably the most morally confused generation; and you can only imagine the kids that generation and the next are now raising. The latter, like their parents, decide right from wrong based on feelings -- a notoriously fickle and unreliable aribter of morality.

As a child, I was blessed to grow up in church, and that is precisely where I met someone who would prove to be a significant part of my part to this very day and I am sure, for the rest of my life.
He is my best friend, Mike.
Which brings me to the story I want to share with you.
We met at church when we were no more than ten or eleven years old. That, incidentally, is the age my daughter is now -- and I often wonder if any of the friends she now has, at least one of whom she has known since they were newborns in the church nursery, will be as close as Mike and I are as adults. |

Pastor Arrested In Illegal Snake Bust |
The pastor of a Kentucky church that handles snakes in religious rites was among 10 people arrested by wildlife officers in a crackdown on the venomous snake trade.
More than 100 snakes, many of them deadly, were confiscated in the undercover sting after Thursday's arrests, said Col. Bob Milligan, director of law enforcement for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.
Most were taken from the Middlesboro home of Gregory James Coots, including 42 copperheads, 11 timber rattlesnakes, three cottonmouth water moccasins, a western diamondback rattlesnake, two cobras and a puff adder.
Which brings up this ethical question...
Is it morally wrong to break the law to smuggle illegal snakes to use in your church service?
I mean, really… wouldn’t a regular old rattlesnake do? Do you really need a giant puff adder?
