Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (JN 8:32)
Just like in the days of Noah, folks were skeptical of impending judgment. On the biblical prophetic level, one does not know when that date will be. We are not to set dates. Only God knows. On the personal level, each person will meet his/her Maker on the date of death. In Revelation, the great judgment is described with Jesus at the Throne. Laugh now if you will, but few will be laughin...more
Just like in the days of Noah, folks were skeptical of impending judgment. On the biblical prophetic level, one does not know when that date will be. We are not to set dates. Only God knows.
On the personal level, each person will meet his/her Maker on the date of death. In Revelation, the great judgment is described with Jesus at the Throne. Laugh now if you will, but few will be laughing later.
Mock now if you will, but few will be mocking later in front of the Throne.
Be skeptical now if you will, but you will be answering to the One who created you.
You are not accountable to me but to your Maker. I can merely sound the warning. It's for each one to heed or not to heed.
My heart's desire is for all to repent & believe in Jesus. However, the Gospel is too precious to force down anyone's throat. You have the freedom to reject Him but you do so now with greater awareness and accountability.
To me, it's no laughing matter. Eternity is a long long long long long long long time!less
Now that the status quo and mainstream culture accepts same-sex partnering, it is old news and no longer cool. The new radical revolution is to be unique, weird, strange and radical: standing for marriage between one man and one woman. Opposite-sex marriage is the new cool! Same-sex marriage is the same old, same old.
Everyone is already "betting:" whether one realizes or not, based on the choices and beliefs we make and hold. My faith is in Jesus and the Bible. Solid! It's your choice to make. Things of this earth... or pleasures of this world... Once life ends, there's no turning back. It's too late to change our choices. So think long and hard about it.

It's your choice to make. Things of this earth... or pleasures of this world...
Once life ends, there's no turning back. It's too late to change our choices.
So think long and hard about it. We are all responsible for our decisions.

The assertion of "empty claims" hardly refutes the points. Sin is pleasurable for a season. That is consistent with the biblical worldview and common to our human nature. Following Jesus and His will is the difficult and narrow road. Following our selfish sinful desire leads down the broad path... These are basic foundational biblical truths.

The Lamb of God who is meek and mild as Jesus on the Cross will return as the Lion.
We feel so small when we are in the midst of an earthquake.
We feel so small when we are in the middle of an ocean storm.
We feel so small when we are flying in an airplane when there is severe turbulence.
We feel so small in the middle of a tornado or hurricaine.
We feel so small looking towards the heavens where there are millions of stars in the universe.
We feel so smail in the midst of a drug addiction that keeps us in bondage.
We feel so small in the midst of a divorce.
We feel so small when we are lonely.
We feel so small when we are hurting.
We feel so small when a loved one is dying.
We feel so small when we are facing terminal illness.
We feel so small when death is knocking at the door of our hearts.
Then we look back..
Diid I make the right decisions?
Did I have any regrets?
Did I really allow myself to be deceived?
Did I love God and follow His will as I should have?
Was this temperal sin realy worth these consequences?

Sin has its temporary season of pleasure. However, it's long-term effects may lead to eternal consequences that are unmmaginable. So easy to ignore the inevitable. So easy to turn a blind eye to the long-term. So easy to enjoy the present pleasures. So easy to feel in control of our temporal circumstances. So easy to be deceived by satan's lies.

Consequences are inevitable. Perpetuation of family break-down, spiritual accountability by God, decrease in religious freedoms, increase in speech restrictions, increase in tax mandates and regulations, increase in governement debt, increase in health insurance coverage mandates, increase in health insurance premiums, increase in complexity of family law battles as divorce, separation, adopti...more
Consequences are inevitable. Perpetuation of family break-down, spiritual accountability by God, decrease in religious freedoms, increase in speech restrictions, increase in tax mandates and regulations, increase in governement debt, increase in health insurance coverage mandates, increase in health insurance premiums, increase in complexity of family law battles as divorce, separation, adoption, child support obligations of same-sex partners occur, decrease in birth rate, leading to inability of social security system to support itself financially.
But the most severe consequence is the judgment of America by God. That can come in many different forms... economic crisis, so called natural disasters, consequences of war where other nations attack and kill.
The sad part is that most people simply see this issue merely on the personal scale of private sexual rights. The reality is that personal and societal dumbing down of biblical moral principles have frightening spiritulal consquences that lead to eternal spiritual consequences. Food for thought....less
On the one hand, a gradual systemic driven strategy of advocacy by homosexual radicals helped to mainstream thoughts of homosexual marriage.

Those are the hard facts that no one wants to hear. Planned Parenthood and it's Margaret Sanger origins had racist intentions. Those are historical facts that no one wants to hear.
The majority of abortionists are money-hungry racists since they intentionally locate their abortion clinics in black and minority neighborhoods. That is the hard reality that no one wants to hear.
The irony is that our major black civil rights leaders are AWOL in defending the civil rights of unborn black babies in the womb! Hello Rev. Jessse? Hello Rev. Al? Shameful!less

Christians who voted for Obama were shooting themselves in their feet. Elections do count. The question is: Have we learned our lesson for 2012 or will we continue voting out of ignorance and apathy?less
Ex-homosexuals who have renounced their former lifestyle can attest to the frredom from sin they have gained. Those in the bondage of sin cannot even begin to imagine what it feels like to live in true freedom and peace of God's will.

Ex-homosexuals who have renounced their former lifestyle can attest to the frredom from sin they have gained.
Those in the bondage of sin cannot even begin to imagine what it feels like to live in true freedom and peace of God's will. The self-directed conclusions to rationalize homosexuality can never undo a moral biblcial principle no matter how firmly or sincerely or confidently that one thinks, proclaims, and believes it to be.
It's interesting how God works... how the hardended hearts becomes more hardened....how the blind become more blind. But those who simply repent from sin are fully forgiven. Amazing grace!less
Obama sets forth policy that directly opposes the biblical worldview. He positions himself as an enemy of traditional marriage,striking at the very foundation of the family in society. His actions escalates the destruction of a moral society and culture. There is no other nice way to say it.... such actions are evil and in alignment with the purposes of satan whether one realizes or not. ...more

I would not want to be in Obama's shoes right now. With great responsiblity comes great spiritual accountability. He alone will have to answer to God for his actions, as each one of us will also one day.less

"Never in the history of this great nation has a President so openly defied his duty to uphold and defend the law of the United States . Now, this White House is declaring war--not only on marriage--but on Congress, whose authority this President now rejects. If this congressional leadership does not intervene with the force this attack demands, then they will become complicit in behavior that is more befitting of a Middle East regime. To our friends who want nothing more than to leave these issues behind, this is what a social truce would look like. Republicans need to see this challenge for what it is: the White House, throwing down the gauntlet on marriage and declaring them irrelevant. That same piece of yellowed parchment that empowers this President is the one that demands, "He shall take care that the laws be faithfully enforced." And where he fails, Congress must not. " FRCless

Phill Kline may have taken the stand in his civil suit yesterday, but it was Planned Parenthood that seemed to be on trial. During his testimony yesterday, Kline stunned the court by revealing parts of his investigation as Attorney General and Johnson County District Attorney. Together, he said, Planned Parenthood of Overland Park and abortionist George Tiller aborted the babies of 166 girls under the age of 14. Only one of those abortions was reported by each clinic. For Planned Parenthood, which is desperately fighting its reputation as a haven for child sexual abuse, the pattern of corruption continues. In at least 164 cases of underage rape or statutory rape, this organization-powered by millions of taxpayer dollars--turned a blind eye to hurting children, leaving them vulnerable to more abuse.less
