‘Gays’ seek $1M to recruit private-school teachers

Bailout bank’s prize coveted to hype homosexual proms, co-ed bathrooms

Editor’s note: The following includes descriptions of adult themes and objectionable subject material.

Homosexual advocacy groups have pooled resources and are vying for a $1 million prize to promote homosexuality to American children online and in public and private schools across the nation. JPMorgan Chase is inviting social networkers to cast their votes for their choice of charities to win a share of $5 million in prizes from the bank whose home-mortgage arm was allocated more than $5 billion in mortgage-industry bailouts last year.  ”GLSEN’s Big Idea is to send our newly updated Safe Space Kit to every middle and high school in the country, public and private,” GLSEN announced. “We want every school in the country to have a guide to help educators create safe spaces for LGBT youth in school that also provides concrete strategies for supporting LGBT students, educating about anti-LGBT bullying and advocating for changes in schools.”  The Safe Space Kit features a 47-page “Guide to Being an Ally to LGBT Students.” According to GLSEN, the guide provides teachers with “strategies for supporting LGBT students, educating about anti-LGBT bias and advocating for changes in your school.”

The Bible is very clear that Homosexuality is an abomination. Romans Chapter 1 is also very clear that people in that state of being have been turned over to a “reprobate mind” —Romans 1:28.   ” The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” —Psalm 9:17

POPE SAYS THE ULTIMATE AIM OF ECUMENISM IS FOR PROTESTANTS TO JOIN ROME

In defending his recent decision to expedite and simplify the process for Anglicans to join the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI said that this, after all, the “ultimate aim” of ecumenism. He told the Vatican’s Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly called the Office of the Inquisition) that the objective is to bring about “full and visible communion” of all Christians (“Pope Defends Invitation to Anglicans,” AP via Richmond Times-Dispatch, Jan. 15, 2010).  (Wayoflife.org)

The Roman Catholic Church has never backed down from its claim to headship and supremacy. The Second Vatican Council stated, “the sole Church of Christ … subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 1, 8, p. 329), and, “it is through Christ’s Catholic Church alone … that the fulness of the means of salvation can be obtained” (Decree on Ecumenism, chap. 1, 3, p. 415), and, “the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ … has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, chap. 3, 22, p. 344).  My friend, Jesus said that HE was the way!  (John 14:6) not the Roman Catholic Church. The heresy of  Roman Catholic theology has and still to this day, deceives many. They bank on the fact that people will not look at the Bible for themselves.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS USING THE EMERGING APPROACH TO MUSLIM EVANGELISM

Southern Baptist missionary Kevin Greeson says that the way to reach Muslims is to sneak up on them by using the Koran rather than the Bible and to de-emphasize church. It is called the “camel method.”

Amazing! The Bible is no longer good enough. Programs, games, or gimmicks do not win souls, nor draw them to Christ. Man uses these tools when they are after numbers. The Bible is plain. “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him:” —John 6:44

PROCEED WITH CAUTION…

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

BIBLE VERSE:  ” The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.” —Proverbs 14:15

BIBLE THOUGHT:  Just because it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck DOES NOT MEAN IT’S A DUCK.  We are told to ” Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” –Matthew 7:15. In today’s world, everyone is a Christian.  Everyone has the right advice or answer to give.  I’m here to tell you, that not everyone is a Christian, not everyone has good advice. Weigh everything you see and hear by the Word of God.  I’m not saying not to trust anyone….that comes after you get to know someone. But even then, all must be weighed by the Word of God.  Interesting thing is, we are very cautious when we see those “as seen on TV”  ads. We should be just as skeptical when it comes to things of a spiritual matter. ” Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” –1 John 4:1

DAILY THOUGHT:  Proceed with caution….just because one caries the Bible, does not mean they believe in the Bible

Don’t try to Master the Word of God…let the Word of God Master you

BIBLE VERSE: ” Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:” –Psalm 144:1

BIBLE THOUGHT:  If we have strength we are not much the better unless we have skill also.  To know the Bible is good, to know when to use the Bible in speaking with someone else is another. To know the Bible is good, to be able to rightly divide the truth is another. Untrained force is often an injury to the man who possesses it, and it even becomes a danger to those who are round about him.  Learn the Word of God and learn how to use it. Just because one knows the Bible and Bible verses, he must wait on the Holy Spirit to guide him as to the use of it.

DAILY THOUGHT:  ” But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” —John 14:26

BIBLE VERSE:  ” Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” —Psalm 119:105

BIBLE THOUGHT:  Bring.  Your.  Own.  Bible.    Not bringing your Bible to church is like  brushing your teeth without toothpaste.  Buying a car without a motor.  Unless you have memorized the entire bible, let me encourage you to bring your Bible, so you can make sure what you are hearing is true!  Without it your trusting what you hear to be gospel.

DAILY THOUGHT:  Would you go fishing without a fishing rod?  Would you go hunting without a gun or bow?  Would you go to church without your Bible?   His Word is a Light!

WAITING ON AN ANSWER…?

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

BIBLE VERSE: ” Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof..” —Proverbs 25:8

BIBLE THOUGHT:  ”Don’t jump the gun!”  Runners in the Olympics are well aware of this old  adage.   If a runner starts, takes off, or moves before the sound of the gun, they are disqualified.  This is what Proverbs 25:8 is talking about. Waiting on an answer from God, don’t get ahead of Him.  ” Be still, and know that I am God..” —Psalms 46:10

DAILY THOUGHT:  JESUS said in John 15:5   ” without me ye can do nothing.”   So, if we can do nothing without him…we might as well wait on Him!

An example of how desperately we need a Savior

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

For the record…  ”I FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO AVOID OFFENDING GUILTY MEN, for there is

no way of avoiding it but by our silence and

silent we cannot be because of God’s command.  Titus 1:9-14

PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) – Haiti’s voodoo priests are objecting to anonymous mass burials as an improper way to handle the tens of thousands of dead from the earthquake — and have taken their complaint to President Rene Preval.

WORLD |  NATURAL DISASTERS

Dumping the dead in hurriedly excavated mass graves without proper rites is seen as desecration in a country where many believe in zombies — dead bodies brought back to life by supernatural forces who could persecute the living.

Haitian officials say so far at least 50,000 bodies have been dumped in mass graves outside the shattered capital, Port-au-Prince, in what they view as the most efficient way to dispose of the fast-rotting corpses from Tuesday’s disaster.

“It is not in our culture to bury people in such a fashion,” Haiti’s main voodoo leader, Max Beauvoir, said in a meeting with Preval.

Local radio is broadcasting messages for Haitians to put bodies recovered from under the rubble of collapsed buildings on the street for collection by garbage and other trucks.

“The conditions in which bodies are being buried is not respecting the dignity of these people,” Beauvoir, who was educated at City College of New York and the Sorbonne in Paris, said in the Preval meeting this weekend.

More than half of Haiti’s 9 million people are believed to practice voodoo, a religion with roots in Africa. Some 80 percent also are Catholic and most Haitians see no conflict between the two.

PAT ROBERSON AND HIS COMMENTS ABOUT HAITI

In case you missed it, Robertson said this on the 700 Club:  “”Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, ‘We will serve you if you will get us free from the French.’ True story. And so, the devil said, ‘OK, it’s a deal.’ “And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It’s cut down the middle. On the one side is Haiti; on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, et cetera. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have — and we need to pray for them — a great turning to God. And out of this tragedy, I’m optimistic something good may come. But right now, we’re helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable.” End of quote. From www.politicsdaily.com

As one can imagine, there has been every kind of comment imaginable. Condemnation came from nearly every corner, people from all walks of life, spewing out the same comments: “a loving God would never do such a thing”.. We, as humans, are quick to cast blame and slow to accept accountability and responsibility. Quick to quote the Bible when it is in our favor, slow to read the Bible because it shows us for what we are,  sinners bound for Hell in need of a Savior!  Let the incident in Haiti be a warning for the good ‘ole USA.   “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” —Psalm 9:17

Here’s one for the Record!!!

SCIENTOLOGY FOUNDER DEMON POSSESSED?

L. Ron Hubbard once said, “If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start in his own religion.” In 1954 this recluse who died Jan. 24 2007, did just that and founded the multi-million-dollar Church of Scientology. Some well-known Scientologists include actor John Travolta, NFL qb John Brodie, Tom Cruz, and convicted killer Charles Manson. Hubbard taught that the human race began 74 trillion years ago on the planet Venus (Chr. Today, 3-7-86). His son renounced Scientology many years ago and is said to be a Christian. He said his father was demon possessed and quoted Hubbard as having said, “I would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.” He said his father wrote Scientology’s theories while under the influence of drugs, had many mistresses, was plagued with VD, and was deeply involved in the occult..

…and these are the signs of the times

The “OLD BALL AND CHAIN”

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

BIBLE VERSE:   “His commandments are not grievous.” —1 John 5:3

BIBLE THOUGHT:  The “old ball and chain”, often referred to a spouse in a joking way (we are joking when we say this, right?) =)   The world uses this excuse not to come to know Christ as their Saviour, and understandable, they are lost and without God. But, what about Born Again Believer’s that feel this way?  There is a problem when we get this feeling or attitude toward God. So where does the problem lay? With God? Certainly not! A child of God feels this way when they want to live their own life the way they want to…and that is without God’s interference. The excuse of a backslidden Believer is, ” it’s just too hard to live for Christ.” The truth is they have grown cold toward God and will lie to themselves through excuses.  ”God’s way” is NOT grievous.  For a  Born Again child of God that has grown cold and indifferent toward Him, the Bible does become the proverbial  “ball and chain.”

DAILY THOUGHT:   “Who hath hardened himself against HIM, and hath prospered?” —Job 9:4

WHAT MAKES YOU STRONG?

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

BIBLE VERSE:   “The LORD is the strength of my life…” —Psalm 27:1

BIBLE THOUGHT:  Where do you draw your strength from?  Where does your confidence come from?  For those who do not know Christ, their strength, or “peace of mind” is found in booze, drugs,  entertainment, hobbies, and for some their work.  For those who do know Christ as their Saviour, their strength comes from Him! The One who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2). Strength is drawn from His Word, in fact the very “joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10).  But the one thing that is common between  those who do not know Christ as their Saviour and for those who do, is that our lives, our actions, always reflects that strength.  For example, those whose strength comes from a bottle….it shows.  For those who make the statement “I am Born Again”…it shows.

DAILY THOUGHT:  What kind of  reflection are you casting?

Are You Ready To Give An Answer?

Friday, January 15th, 2010

BIBLE VERSE: ” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” —1 Peter 3:15

BIBLE THOUGHT:  What if someone came up to you and ask this question:

  1. Could you show me in the Bible what it takes to be Saved?
  2. Could you show me in the Bible that I need to read the Bible?
  3. I am going through some rough times, could you show me a verse of scripture that is a verse of comfot
  4. Could you show me please, is God all I really need?

These questions are just a small sampling of what could be asked from anyone at anytime. God expects those who claim the title of being “Born Again”  to be ready. THE ONLY way to be ready is to read and study the Word of God. I want to encourage you to always be ready!

DAILY THOUGHT: ” As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” —1 Peter 2:2

SPIRITUAL BRAINWASHING

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Spiritual brainwashing is at the heart of every cult.  They will say “we believe the bible, but…”  I have spoken with  catholics, mormons, jehova witness, seveth day adventists, southern baptists, charasmatics and  many more too many to mention, and they ALL have the same response, “we believe the bible, but…”.  Most do not even know what their religion teaches. but it is not just religion where “spiritual brainwashing” takes place. It is also in:

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy was developed in the 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). His book Organon of the Art of Healing remains the foundational text in the field. At the 1960 Montreux International Congress on Homeopathy, the 160th anniversary of the Organon was celebrated. The congress said, “The Organon is for the homeopath what the Bible is for the Christian.” At the heart of homeopathy is the Hindu concept that there is a vital force or life energy that permeates all things (Keith Souter, Homeopathy: Heart and Soul, p. 19). Homeopathic remedies are thought to “act upon the Vital Force to restore balance within the body.”

In reality, homeopathic remedies are so highly diluted that they are nothing more than water. The dilutions are done according to the “Centesimal scale” of 1:100. 1C (or CH1) refers to one part of an original tincture of some substance mixed in 100 parts of water. One part of that super diluted mixture becomes the next “tincture.” At 3C “the mother tincture will be diluted to one in a million” and at 6C “the dilution will be one in a billion” (Homeopathy: Heart and Soul, p. 23). Homeopathic doctor Keith Souter admits that a 12C solution is “unlikely to have even a single molecule of the original compound left.” Yet he recommends 30C or 200C potencies (p. 26)!  Dr. H.J. Bopp of Switzerland, who has studied homeopathy carefully, says: “Any patient receiving a homeopathic treatment at CH30 should be under no illusions as to its composition. There is no longer any of the named material substance in his pill or liquid whatsoever.” Homeopathic practice claims that the diluted solution is effective because it has undergone a process known as dynamization or potentialization, which makes it possible to contact and retain a hidden power in the liquid. Keith Souter calls potentialization “one of the bedrocks of homeopathy” (p. 19). Hahnemann “believed that spiritual reality was more important than material reality” and “came to regard the ‘spiritual essence’ of a drug a smore important than its physical substance” (The Hidden Agenda, p. 99). Hahnemann “insisted that not only the diluted medicine but the actual process of diluting a medicine–the shaking and mixing–imparted healing powe to the substance. … The vial containing the medicine had to be struck against a leather pad a number of times, so that the drug could be ‘dynamized’ and act’ spiritually upon the vital forces’ of the body” (pp. 100, 102).  Amazing isn’t it!?  ( I won’t even get started on the so called wonders of “SILVER”)

“HOMEOPATHY IS DANGEROUS! It is quite contrary to the teaching of the Word of God. It willingly favours healing through substances made dynamic, that is to say, charged with occult forces. Homeopathic treatment is the fruit of a philosophy and religion that are at the same time Hinduistic, pantheistic and esoteric.

Spiritual Brainwashing is anything that takes away from God or his Word. ” Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” —1 Timothy 4:1

…..and these are the Signs of the Times
