AS THE WORLD REJECTS GOD’S VALUES LAWLESSNESS ABOUNDS

Posted on by

Youth crime and violence are on the rise across Australia. A recent article in The Guardian reads, 

The state’s overall offence rate has increased by 15% but youth crime has seen an even bigger increase.

“Youth offending also continues to grow, with crimes committed by children aged 10 to 17 up 17.9%. It is the second quarter in a row that youth crime rates have reached record levels. Police said children (10 – 17 yrs) only accounted for 13.1% of all offenders, but they were overrepresented in serious and violent crimes such as robberies (63.1%), aggravated burglaries (46%) and car theft (26.9%).”

A study in the USA called “Father Absence and Youth Incarceration” showed that boys who are fatherless from birth are three times more likely to go to jail than peers from intact families.  While boys who do not see their father depart until they are 10 to 14 years old are over two times more likely to go to jail than peers from intact families.

Interestingly, Dr Pat Fagan showed that states in the USA with a lower percentage of single-parent families, on average, had lower rates of juvenile crime. State-by-state analysis indicated that, in general, a 10 per cent increase in the number of children living in single-parent homes (including divorces) accompanied a 17 per cent increase in juvenile crime.

Fagan, in his article, “The Real Root Causes of Violent Crime: The Breakdown of Marriage, Family, and Community”, demonstrates the correlation between marriage and fatherhood and what the absence of both does to our children. Among married two-parent families, whether white or black, the crime rate was very low. The capacity and determination to maintain stable married relationships, not race, was the pivotal factor. Chaotic, broken communities resulted from chaotic, broken families.

Rejecting God’s ordinance for marriage: one man and one woman for life so they become one flesh (Genesis 2:24), is why we no longer have stable God fearing homes.

Jesus tells us what end times families will do: “And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake.” Mark 13:12

“Victoria’s crime rate surges with young offenders contributing to record arrests”.

The state’s overall offence rate has increased by 15% but youth crime has seen an even bigger increase.

“Youth offending also continues to grow, with crimes committed by children aged 10 to 17 up 17.9%. It is the second quarter in a row that youth crime rates have reached record levels. Police said children (10 – 17 yrs) only accounted for 13.1% of all offenders, but they were overrepresented in serious and violent crimes such as robberies (63.1%), aggravated burglaries (46%) and car theft (26.9%).”

END TIMES – LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND

‘Assassination Culture’: Half of Left-leaning Americans say assassinating Trump, Musk is justified

The Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab released a report Monday titled “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.” The data included in the report is based on responses collected from 1,264 U.S. adults. The main takeaway from the report is that, “A broader ‘assassination culture’ appears to be emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left.”

“This report points to disturbingly high levels of support for political violence, particularly targeting President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Across survey responses, nearly one-third of respondents — and a significantly higher share of left-leaning respondents — expressed some degree of justification for acts of lethal violence,” the report stated. 

“Unless political and cultural leadership explicitly confronts and condemns this trend, [a] growing probability of real-world escalation” exists, the report added. “Given the current economic volatility and institutional distrust, the online normalization of political violence may increasingly translate into offline action.” 

“Taken together, the findings underscore the erosion of democratic norms and the growing acceptability of political violence in American discourse, particularly among ideologically extreme communities online,” the report warned. “Continued monitoring and broader measurement efforts are urgently needed.” 

Fortunately for Christians, God has revealed how this story plays out, and we know it is both good news and bad news. The good news is that Jesus’s return is imminent, but the bad news is that God allows Satan to refine His church and to do his utmost to deceive the world. The following Scripture is Jesus’s response to the disciples’ question about what it will be like in the end times before He returns to restore righteousness.

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:9-13

We cannot say that Jesus did not warn us. It is time to draw close to God to ensure we do what He has called and prepared us to do.

THE IMPACT OF AI & ROBOTICS ON JOBS

Posted on by

Amazon, the online retailer behemoth, is the second-largest private employer in the U.S. – 1.5 million people. It’s also one of the largest investors in AI. It’s building out fully autonomous warehouses… It’s working to automate the delivery process with self-driving vans and delivery drones… and 30% of its “workforce” are already robots.

Robots don’t sleep. They don’t take vacations. They never need a break. So, let me ask you this: How much longer until Amazon decides these robots are ready to take on the full workload of its 1.5 million remaining workers? And what do you think will happen when 1.5 million hardworking Americans are suddenly out of a job?

Amazon is far from the only giant that has done this. Walmart Inc. (WMT), the largest private employer in the U.S., is rolling out fully automated distribution centers using a combination of AI and robots. The company’s distribution centers come with one big catch: No people.

Finding good critical thinkers is one of the most difficult things in business. I’m talking about “knowledge workers” – i.e., accountants, business strategists, lawyers, and doctors – who make optimal decisions, are good at problem-solving, can strategize, and always act in the business’s best interests.

The only thing more difficult than finding one good knowledge worker… is finding multiple. For most of the modern era, knowledge work was difficult to scale. These professions typically require years of education, on-the-job training, and experience. That adds up to lots of time and money.

But now, ChatGPT and other forms of AI are killing that paradigm. It makes it so that businesses can scale critical thinking and knowledge work. It doesn’t matter if you have a blue or white collar: AI could threaten your job.

The Quantum Leap

AI is more of a threat now than it was when ChatGPT made its debut in 2022 because of quantum computing.

In classical computing, data is encoded in binary bits. Transistors are like tiny switches that can either be in the on or off position – represented by ones and zeroes.

Every app you use, website you go to, and photo you take is made up of millions of combinations of ones and zeroes. However, a new kind of computing power surpasses the binary limitations of classical computers.

Quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously due to a concept called superposition. If this all sounds a little confusing, don’t worry. Here’s the critical thing you need to know… Quantum computers allow for multiple computational pathways to be explored at the same time, opening new avenues and speeds for solving complex problems.

Imagine you have a large library and you’re trying to find a specific book. In classical computing, you would search for the book by examining each bookshelf and book one at a time until you find the right one. This approach can be time-consuming, especially if the book you’re looking for is in the back of the library. But imagine a computer so powerful it can explore all the books at once… That’s quantum computing.

It’s been said that the differences between quantum computers and classical computers are even more vast than those between classical computers and pen and paper. That may be an understatement.

We’re talking about machines so advanced that they can instantly execute calculations that would take the world’s most advanced supercomputers nearly half a century to process. It’s not like the transition from the horse and buggy to the automobile. It’s more like horse and buggy to the SR-71 Blackbird… the fastest jet ever made. The difference is utterly mind-blowing.

Quantum computing is real and it’s here. You can think of it as the turbocharger for artificial intelligence. It makes AI faster, more efficient, and more precise.

Quantum computing will give us the ability to solve intractable problems that take so long to tackle using today’s computers that no one even bothers trying. We’re talking about the ability to create, replicate, and commercialize complex analytical thinking and precise physical movement on a scale never seen before… This is the next huge leap forward for the digital elite… the people who have been getting rich while most Americans have been getting left behind.

With quantum computing, the digital elite will have AI that is not constrained by computational speed. Quantum-powered AI will drive efficiencies by getting rid of human workers and driving up corporate profits. No matter the job, robots, software and AI – powered by a new breed of computer – will be able to do it better and cheaper.

I expect that in the quantum era, we will see more technological progress in one month than we are seeing in three years from now. This is the societal and economic equivalent of a 10,000-foot mega-tsunami. It’s about to slam into our world and alter the trajectory of our country forever.

Governments that already have a debt problem that is out of control will be unable to address this unemployment problem and anarchy and lawlessness will be the outcome. The scene is being set for the Biblical prophesied rise of the Antichrist and a one-world government. The recent UN Pact for the Future where world leaders made a landmark declaration pledging concrete actions towards a safer, more peaceful, sustainable, and inclusive world for tomorrow’s generations is a significant move towards a one-world government. My next post will give more detail on the Pact for the Future.

THE NEW MORALITY

Posted on by

Every step a nation takes to accept the “new morality” (everyone doing whatever is right in his own eyes) is matched by an equal step to reject God and His ways. What was once seen as the source of virtue, freedom, and joy is now viewed as a hindrance, a restraint, as being oppressed.

“For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.“ Romans 8:7

“Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.” Jeremiah 17:5-7

“You shall not do according to all that we are doing here today, everyone doing whatever is right in his own eyes,” Deuteronomy 12:8

Though the seeds of America’s turning from God can be found in earlier days with the introduction of evolution into the school curriculum, it would become most noticeable and would achieve critical mass in the 1960s. It was at the beginning of that decade that America removed prayer from its public schools. The act was soon followed by the banning of God’s Word from the instruction of the nation’s children. The Bible had always been part of the American public school system, from its beginnings at Massachusetts Bay. Thus the change was a monumental one—and with regard to the spirit of Baal (The Possessor), a strategic one.

When Baal was unable to possess one generation of Israelites, he would focus on the next—the nation’s children. Since children represent the future, if he could take hold of America’s children, he could take hold of America. So by removing prayer and the Word from the education of America’s children, he was weakening the transmission of faith to the next generation. He could then separate the entire nation from prayer, from the Word, and from faith. By causing God’s ways to become alien to the nation’s children, he could cause the alienation of America from God.

Baal’s American agenda was not limited to its school system. It would permeate every sphere of American culture. Its major newspapers would no longer publish summations of the past Sunday sermons, its leading magazines would no longer endorse Christian values, its entertainment would no longer uphold biblical morality, its politicians would speak less openly of Christian values, and its television stations would no longer promote prayer or present the ways of God in a positive light but would now war against them. Praying to God or mentioning the name of Jesus in the public square would be increasingly viewed with hostility.

The Ten Commandments and the Law were also at the foundation of Western civilization. In the case of America, they were specifically cited as the cornerstone on which the new society was to be built. So for Baal to gain possession of America, he would do just as he did to ancient Israel. He would cause them to put away the Ten Commandments and depart from the ways of God. So in 1980 the Supreme Court ruled that it was no longer legal to display the Ten Commandments in public schools. They were what the American school system had once taught and lifted up as the nation’s moral foundation. Now it was illegal to even make them visible in public.

All of this concerted action by Satan and his demons demonstrates that spiritual warfare is intense and strategic and unless Christians are led by the Holy Spirit our efforts will never be effective.

In “The Return of the Gods”, Jonathan Cahn takes the reader on a journey from an ancient parable, the ancient inscriptions in Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia that become the puzzle pieces behind what is taking place in our world to this day, specifically in America. Is it possible that what we in the modern world take as nothing more than ancient mythology could actually possess a reality beyond our fathoming?

Who is the Possessor?  The Enchanter? The Destroyer? The Dark Trinity. Get Jonathan’s book. You will be glad you did.

Could a sign that has appeared all over America and the world be linked to the gods of Mesopotamia?  And if so, what does it actually mean?

Is it possible that the gods (demonic spirits) lie behind everything from what appears on our computer monitors, our televisions, and movie screens; to the lessons given in our classrooms; to the breakdown of the family; to wokism; to the occult; to our addictions; to the Supreme Court; to cancel culture; to children’s cartoons; to every force and factor that has transformed the parameters of gender; to that which appears in our stores, on our T-shirts, and on our coffee mugs—to that which is, at this very moment, transforming America and much of the world?  Is it possible that behind all these things are ancient mysteries that go back to the Middle East and ancient Mesopotamia? This and so much more is uncovered by Jonathan in Return of the Gods.

TECHNO CHASM, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND PESTILENCE CAUSING CHAOS

Posted on by

What is causing the big difference between those that have and those that do not have? New industries are being created at a phenomenal rate. The Law of exponential progress is what is causing the rate of change we see happening in the world today. Computer power is growing at an exponential rate and the cost is going down at an exceptional rate. Look at your digital phone and its computing power. Just look at what Netflix has done to the entertainment industry. Look at what Robotics is doing to all manufacturing and distribution companies. What about Google and information. The incredible rise in Computing power, Robotics, and Artificial intelligence is going to further speed up the loss of jobs in traditional businesses.

Another important understanding is the Network Effect (NE). NE occurs when each new user increases the usage of the service. It is called Positive Feedback Loop. Google is the best example of this network effect. Uber is another good example of the network effect. What about Facebook, it became popular because it was popular.

Many companies will attempt to counteract the operational risks of the next global pandemic by shifting more of their processes to robotic or “smart” machines of some sort, rather than human beings. Jobs will be lost at a phenomenal rate.

YTD September 2022, $29.4 billion of video games were sold in the U.S. – a 23% increase from the same period the previous year. The majority of that increase was in content, but sales of hardware (consoles and accessories) have also seen double-digit increases since the pandemic began. Consumers are buying more consoles, and those who already have consoles are buying more games to play on them. This is what is influencing the minds of our young people; video games whose content is largely violent, and includes aliens. Satan is preparing them for demonic deception. More and more of their time is spent on their phones and less time developing relationships with family and friends.

The stock market is also chaotic: Facebook’s parent company, Meta Platforms; Amazon; Apple; Netflix and Google’s parent company Alphabet were down 26.6% on average to start the year. Meta and Netflix have taken the brunt of that with 45% losses in less than three months. All have recovered significantly since these sudden drops. You can also find plenty of smaller, lesser-known companies with tons of promise that are way down. Palantir Technologies, one of the top data-analytics stocks in the world with tremendous upside potential, plummeted over 40% for the year.

Technochasm on top of the global pandemic is causing chaos that has caused governments to rack up unsustainable debt and move to more control over every facet of people’s lives. Add to it, governments around the world’s inability to manage the transition to clean energy which is resulting in enormous energy and consumables price hikes and shortages. Lawlessness and anarchy are the inevitable outcomes of this chaos.

This is exactly what the Bible tells us will play out prior to Jesus’ return, first to rapture the Saints and then to pour out His wrath on an unrepentant world.

Jesus Foretells Wars, Famines, Pestilences and Persecution
“Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences.” Luke 21:11

“And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:12-13

“Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him… Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

Is your church preparing you for what is coming next? Probably not, if they are not preparing you for the increasing persecution that Jesus warned us would escalate prior to His return. The following Scripture is very explicit:

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:9-14

Are you concerned, your unsaved loved ones are facing the coming wrath of God?

You need to be certain God is in control, and if you are available, He will use you to achieve His purposes. Do you believe that with your whole heart and soul? Regardless, it is true. If you do not believe it then get on your knees and repent and commit the rest of your time on His planet to His purposes. If you were born again and received the Holy Spirit then you have been grieving the Holy Spirit and quenching His work in your life. How foolish is that, and yet I have to admit, I have found it easy to let the world, its pleasures, and its concerns, engulf my time. Each morning, as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane we must say in prayer to our Heavenly Father, “Not my will but yours be done” this day and every day.

“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” Ephesians 4:30

“Do not quench the Spirit.” 1 Thessalonians 5;19

The following verse spoken by David seems appropriate. God requires the discipline of waiting upon Him.

“Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation;
On You, I wait all the day.” Psalms 25:4-5

GODLESSNESS IN THE LAST DAYS – Part 2

Conservative judge ‘predictably’ shouted down by university students at Stanford Law School


Stanford Law School’s website touts its “collegial culture” in which “collaboration and the open exchange of ideas are essential to life and learning.” Then there’s the culture Justice Stuart Kyle Duncan experienced when he visited Stanford last week. He had been invited by the student chapter of the Federalist Society to discuss the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, on which he had served since 2018. He has spoken at law schools across the country, and he was glad to accept this invitation. One of his first clerks graduated from Stanford. He also has friends on the faculty. He gave a talk there a few years ago and found it a warm and engaging place, but not this time.

When he arrived, the walls were festooned with posters denouncing him for crimes against women, gays, blacks, and “trans people.” Plastered everywhere were photos of the students who had invited him and fliers declaring “You should be ASHAMED,” with the last word in large red capital letters and a horror-movie font. This didn’t seem “collegial.” Walking to the building where he would deliver his talk, there was loud chanting a good 50 yards away, reminiscent of a tent revival in its intensity. Some 100 students were massed outside the classroom as he entered, faces painted every colour of the rainbow, waving signs and banners, jeering and stamping and howling. As he entered the classroom, one protester screamed: “We hope your daughters get raped!”

What Stuart Duncan experienced is mild by comparison with what persecution lies ahead for followers of Jesus Christ prior to His return to earth to rule and reign with the resurrected Saints for 1000 years. Jesus’ coming Millennial Kingdom is a transition period when Jesus will rule the nations from a new Jerusalem to fulfill the covenant God made with Abraham and all the Biblical prophecies made by the O.T prophets and the N.T apostles.

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away, betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:9-14

“But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

“They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4-6

TRANSGENDERISM IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT END TIMES SIGNS

Posted on by

Even evolutionary biologists understand that biological sex is foundational to “preserving a functional society “.

“I’m frequently asked why I focus so much on the nature of biological sex. It’s because in my view this may be reality’s last stand. If this undeniable fact can be denied en masse, then we become hostages to chaos. We simply cannot afford to lose our collective tether to reality.” —Colin Wright, evolutionary biologist.

“I’m not obsessed with gender. I’m obsessed with the preservation of a functional society. Ours will fail if we allow some to impose their personal fictions on others.” —Bret Weinstein, evolutionary biologist

Our society is descending into chaos and lawlessness exactly as Jesus said it would prior to His second coming to earth to first rescue the Saints and then to pour His wrath on an unrepentant world.

Transgenderism has exploded across the world in the past decade, particularly in the West. In my last post “Vladimir Putin on Religion and Family“, he made this comment on the West. “Look at what they’re doing with their own people,” he said. “It is all about the destruction of the family, of cultural and national identity, perversion and abuse of children, including pedophilia, all of which are declared normal in their life.”

Critics of transgender ideology are, predictably, met with withering rebuke. They’re labeled as “transphobic,” hateful, and even criminal. The vitriol seems especially intense when the criticism arises from within the LGBTQ community.

Even the gay neuroscientist Simon LeVay, whose research led to the claim that homosexuality is genetically heritable, has expressed skepticism about the transgender movement. An article in a leading LGBTQ publication quotes LeVay as saying, “We may be overly supportive of gender non-conforming kids, thinking they may be transgender so advocating giving them hormones or castrating them at an early age… We should always love our kids as they are, whatever, but don’t tell them their sexuality is a done deal before puberty.”

One activist called LeVay’s remarks quoted above, as “beyond irresponsible,” implying that such comments foster bullying and aggression. 10 Tweets from singer Bette Midler and author JK Rowling expressing concern about the diminishment of womanhood were roundly condemned in forceful and often vulgar ways, even though both women have been longtime supporters of the LGBTQ movement.

What we face is an unprecedented coupling of postmodernist academic theory with an internet-fueled social contagion targeting
vulnerable boys and girls who are struggling with their God-given sex. Spiritual warfare is truly intensifying as Satan realises his time ruling this planet is coming to an end and he wants to take as many humans down with him as he can.

LAST DAYS LAWLESSNESS ABOUNDS

PEACEFUL PROTEST’: Antifa’s ‘night of rage’ sees officer shot, businesses burned

Mainstream media reported Antifa’s ‘night of rage’ in downtown Atlanta as “peaceful,” despite the heavy violence carried out by the protesters, including brick-throwing, burning police cars, and a shooting that sent a policeman to hospital. One has to ask what is the agenda of those who control the media.

Look at what Jesus said would happen in the days leading up to His return. Let us be part of the group that proclaims the Gospel of Jesus’ coming Kingdom.

“And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:12-14

“Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him… For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:1, 3-4

“Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people”  Proverbs 14:34

GOD AND THE BIBLE ARE NOW THE OPPRESSOR

Posted on by

People hate being held accountable, especially when it comes to a standard that is impossible to meet in their own strength. When a holy God says your way of living is sinful, the natural flesh reaction is now to label God as an “oppressor” who needs to be removed from all aspects of civil discourse.

The natural extension of this thinking is to also attempt to silence, cancel or even prosecute those who follow God’s standard. This now includes parents who stand up for common sense and decency in our publicly funded government schools into which every form of unholy indoctrination has crept in. In fact, what used to be secretly brought in through the back doors of our public schools is now openly and proudly paraded through the front doors as policies that promote highly sexualized material as being necessary for the diverse, equitable, and inclusive materials, books and curriculum needed to “properly” educate the current generation of social justice warriors.

What happened to just teaching core academics? In America, why do pride flags now outnumber American flags in the classrooms? In one local Loudoun County, Va., elementary school, the large pride flag with an upraised black fist and phrase “Love Always Wins” is prominently displayed over the music room’s piano while the teacher proudly displayed pictures of him and his gay lover’s personal life to elementary age children.

These children are slowly becoming numb to tradition and godly, values taught by their parents at home and slowly are being indoctrinated over their 16,000 hours of government-sponsored education.

Parents standing up for traditional values and calling for a return to academics in our schools and removal of identity politics from classrooms are now seen as “dangerous” by school boards across the country and even by the Department of Justice. This is why in the Loudoun County school system, the current policy prevents a parent from knowing if their child is expressing gender confusion at school. The teacher can know. The school counselor and staff can know. The principal can know, but NOT the parent.

Parents are viewed as some sort of extremist, backwoods cult member who will harm their child if they are involved when a child crosses over into the dark world of transgenderism after being groomed by social media influencers and their peer group. Then the confused child is further abused by the missionaries of transgenderism inside the walls of our schools who do everything possible to prevent that child from being told “No” by their parent. Outside groups are even allowed to provide support and temporary housing for your gender-confused child so they don’t have to go home to you, the “oppressive” parent.

Where do parental constitutional rights end and criminal physical and mental abduction begin?

In the end, this is a fight for the ages.  A battle of worldviews. Will man be on the throne or God?

In today’s critical theory parlance, every idea, thought, person, institution, and policy must be divided into one of two classes: “oppressed” or “oppressor.” Christians are seen now as having benefitted from God’s oppressive system of rules which has to be stopped if society is to further evolve into a more “diverse, equitable, and inclusive” order. In reality, following God’s objective standard brings favor, blessing, and salvation.

In considering the “intersectionality” of our faith, is it really oppressive to be a Christian?

What if you’re a white Christian? Or Asian Christian? Are you let out of “oppressor jail” if you’re a black Christian or does your Christian faith always outweigh your melanin when it comes to your score on the oppression scale?

Those who desire nothing more than the cancellation and prosecution of free speech now have a new weapon. This weapon of language causes division found through critical theory which only tears down instead of building up, divides instead of unites, and accuses instead of forgives. This new lexicon of the religion of equity places man on the throne and views God, parents, and those with the wrong skin color as irreconcilably broken oppressors with no hope of redemption. 

Christianity is actually liberating. Of all the world’s religions, only in Christianity has the work to conquer true oppression (sin) already been done by the work of Jesus on our behalf. We were all born into oppression as part of the one-blood human race. We were truly victimized by the oppressor of our soul, Satan. Only in Christ, can oppression be truly conquered providing freedom for those oppressed and in bondage to sin. Satan is the true author of oppression. Jesus liberates and sets us free.

SIN IS LAWLESSNESS

Posted on by

“Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.” 1 John 3:4

“For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” Romans 8:7-8

We have a generation that has been taught in schools and universities that God does not exist. They are taught evolution and billions of years explains the existence of this universe. To them the Bible is just a book of fables. As people cancel God and His perfect divine guidance from their lives they are constrained to decide for themselves what is right and wrong. The outcome is described in God’s word.

“there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25

“Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8

The traditional American family is in shambles and most western nations’ families are headed the same way. In the U.S. forty-three percent of babies are born to unwed mothers. Along with the wreckage of the family, the US is seeing record levels of depression, mental illness, soaring suicide rates, an increase in senseless violence, and a deadly drug epidemic. And yet the demonically driven militants press on with even greater zeal. The devil’s venomous strategy to deceive and damage humanity worked from the beginning. Satan cancelled God in the eyes of Eve – insinuating the One who instructed Adam and Eve about what was good and evil was actually a liar (Genesis 3:1-5). Adam in clear disobedience to God went along with it. Satan the master manipulator continues to bring horrendous evil on humanity.

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.” Ephesians 2:1-3

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 2:11-12

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.” 1 Peter 5:8-9

Fortunately, Jesus told us in advance that tribulation would be intense for Christians in the last days prior to His return. He alone can deal with Satan, his minions, and the unrepentant and restore righteousness to the world.

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.” Matthew 24:21-22

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Matthew 24:29-31
