Interesting Read

Many preachers (including Bro. Rodney) correlate our culture with the one of the early church. We are watching more and more each day as our culture not only accepts but actually embraces an immoral lifestyle and mistankenly calls it "freedom". That's a scary statement when you start thinking about the Holiness of God - sin is, well its just sin. It crawls all over me just as it does everyone else. It bothers me because I really do like to do what I want to do but that is not what God wants, commands, me to do and just conveinently changing what God wants will eventually spell disaster. I have heard the "art of politics" called the "art of lying" and I think that statement rears it's head more everyday. In my opinion this country has sold its soul to keep from being accountable for the sin that we have committed. We found the first smooth talking guy that would tell us, in a profound "sounding" way, "why don't we all just get along" and we gave him one of the most powerful offices in our culture today. His clan is about to pass a law that will legally punish you for calling sin a sin and according to the article below it really isn't even being passed to protect any of the "innocents" from the "hypocrits" as they say but it is an invention born of greed. The song "Dearly Loved" by Jimmy Needham says:


To the slaughters you are being led
Being told that it's a party
That this God is in your head
And every single lie
Sounds just like the greatest truth
But the one truth you're not hearing
Is that he died for you.


Isn't that so true? Isn't that what we've done? I don't think, never mind what I think, the bible says that for those that embrace this lie that's being sold, the party isn't going to be any fun.

I found this article and just thought I'd share. It surprises me that even the lefties are starting to notice the hidden agendas that have been all packaged and prettied up and are handed out on a neat little platters. Enough rambling, here is the article:

A surprising revelation from a homosexual activist over the purpose of the "hate crimes" bill is drawing kudos from at least one pro-family spokesman.

The activist is Andrew Sullivan, one of the movers and shakers in the international homosexual movement. "The real reason for hate crime laws is not the defense of human beings from crime. There are already laws against that," Sullivan writes on his blog, "and Matthew Shepard's murderers were successfully prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law in a state with no hate crimes law at the time." Sullivan continues: "The real reason for the invention of hate crimes was a hard-left critique of conventional liberal justice and the emergence of special interest groups which need boutique legislation to raise funds for their large staffs and luxurious buildings. Just imagine how many direct mail pieces have gone out explaining that without more money for [Human Rights Campaign], more gay human beings will be crucified on fences. It's very, very powerful as a money-making tool -- which may explain why the largely symbolic federal bill still hasn't passed." Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel read the blog entry and offers this take on Sullivan's comments on Senate Bill 909. "He is to be commended for his candor," says Barber. "He has admitted publicly now that the hate crimes bill...is, among other things, simply a money-making scheme drummed up by the organized homosexualist lobby." S. 909 is called the Matthew Shepard Act to honor a young homosexual man who was tortured and killed in 1998 not because of his sexual orientation, but during the course of a robbery. As Barber notes, the murder has been used as a money-raiser, too. "Andrew Sullivan points this irony out and points out how ridiculous it is that they are using [Shepard's] name, exploiting this poor young man's horrible death to try to push a money-making scheme...a social ponzi scheme," says Barber. "The cat's out of the bag," he continues. "Sullivan's admission...is both refreshing and stunning at the same time." The hate crimes bill, which has already passed the House, would add sexual orientation to other protected classes.

You know, I hold an opinion on this matter that goes far beyond the debates over so-called 'rights'. I suggest to you that the devil has cleverly sidetracked all sensible people here with an irrelevant argument. And frankly this matter of "gay" is only one of a number of issues that Satan has done this with. It's a distraction from the real argument...kind of like running interference. Go with me here, because it's a little deep. There is no such thing as a gay or homosexual. Those are just fancy words mankind has tagged to a sinful act for the purpose of legitimizing it. Does that make sense? It has worked so well that in today's culture the term "homosexual" has, for all intents and purposes, gained legitimate standing as a third natural gender. (Male, female, homosexual) Can you see the descent?...if you give it a scientific name, it seems plausible that you are "born that way". It's connotes that brainiac scientists have studied and proven it. I have to give it to 'em!...you really are born that way...a sinner. I find it interesting that only humankind has the capacity to sin, and likewise only humankind is plagued with this deviance. The logic against "homosexual" is inarguable. Look at the design of male and female reproductive organs--made for each other. Can two of the same gender reproduce? I could go on and on and on, but there's no need. Simply, God calls it a "wicked thing", an "abomination", and "unnatural lust".
