LGBTQx1000: Reformation Wall Edition

I was recently at a conference this last week as a counsellor, and it was there that one of the speakers mentioned that the Reformation Wall in Geneva was vandalised with multiple vibrant different colours.  It isn't that far of a stretch to put it together to realize that this is the symbol of the rainbow that the LGBTQx1000 camp proudly waves.  For some, this could raise a similar reaction to that of people when Notre Dame Cathedral went up in flames this last year.  Instead, I would encourage Christians to see it as a sign of exactly what the "left" is doing.  

Don't mistake it, the far left isn't playing around.  They are going for the jugular of western civilization.  And the heartbeat of that is the Christian religion.  For too long, we have allowed the culture to go unchecked.  Now it has become rampant, and the church is spineless.  It is time to gird up our loins and call out the culture's madness.  

How are we supposed to do that?

First, build up from foundations first.  We need to make the church strong once again.  And the first step along that path is building up strong and dependable families.  And that is where we can and should get to work right now.  Examine your own life, and make sure that you are living out the laws of the Lord.  

"Blessed is the man[a]
    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law[b] of the Lord,
    and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 He is like a tree
    planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish."

 - Psalm 1, ESV

Looking at the Bigger Picture: Forgetting Party Lines

I wanted to take a step back from the particular subject matter of the blog and zoom out to the general.  This post helped to stir the pot. A couple were driving to Dallas, December 15, when they were pulled over by a State Trooper for a non-speeding violation.  When asked where they were headed, the couple said that they were going to Dallas due to a death in the family.  Eventually, the officer asked if he could pray with them.  This moved the couple to tears, and inspired them to share this story. This struck me, obviously, as a wonderful story and served as a reminder for the broader context.  In a time when the culture seems to be aggravated politically during the push to impeach President Trump - it is good to remember that our King will always be on the throne.  More specifically, our King is on the throne and cannot be impeached by any party.  Nor is he a capricious ruler that brazenly tweets out his every thought.  It is  import...

Jesus is King: The Turn Around for Kanye West

If you have been anywhere near social media in the last couple of weeks, you may have come across the news that Kanye West has become a Christian.  The first thing that I believe that we should remember is to praise the Lord for taking this soldier for His kingdom.  The other thing is to beware the doubt that can creep into our minds when we hear a celebrity or politician profess the name of Christ.  I understand caution, but only God knows the hearts of man: "7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” - 1 Samuel 16:7. What should we do then?  The answer lies in Galatians: "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so f...

Keep it Simple: Protect the Unborn

Last night at my family's Sabbath meal, we were discussing a situation in the UK that has surfaced recently.  A British judge is ordering a mother, who happens to have a learning disability, to abort her child.  The mother is 22 weeks pregnant.  Right there, every red flag in our minds should be raised.  This is what happens when a nation has strayed from the laws and the Word of the Lord, as they seek to make up their own dictionary.  This includes the definition of life.  Life can now be done away with if it is inconvenient. I recommend you read the  article and sign the petition to spare the child's life.   There are two major things that stand out to me in this article: Classic brazen government intervention: "Mrs Justice Lieven said that she believed it would be too difficult for the grandmother to look after both her daughter and her grandchild. The Judge said it was an “enormous” decision and that she was “acutely conscious of the f...
