LIVE ON PODBEAN!

Today's talk is on the intimidation factor of speaking up in evangelism.  Sometimes, we're either too harsh or to intimidated to speak up as the Church.

Missouri Judge vs Trans-Activists

Judge Blocks ban on Transgender treatments

(From the article)

Activists claim that the science in favor of transgender “care” is settled. It’s not true. Thankfully this judge was willing to say it out loud. This legislative push came as part of an investigation into the transgender clinic at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. In February, a whistleblower alleged that the clinic had started transitioning more than 600 children between 2020 and 2022. In some cases, puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones were prescribed after just two one-hour visits.

In summary, the threat is real, the “science” is false, and children’s lives are at stake.

From Matthew Chapt. 18: 1-7

  At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And He called a child to Himself and set him before them,  and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.  Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

“Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!

The judgement of God is upon us. So much so, that because so many have rejected God, they're committed to believing these evil lies against humanity itself.  As it states in Romans 1 - "Proclaiming themselves wise, they became FOOLS".  

And the Lord says, "Those who hate Me love death".

Truly, we're in a culture of death.

Gun Control = Constitution Control

 

How many of us (Americans) Understand the importance of this Amendment?

Why do we have a 2nd Amendment?

How many of us see what's going on in the battle for the 2nd Amendment?

This is monumentally important, it's historical, and it has everything to do with not just the 2nd Amendment but ALL OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

Check out the podcasts I did some time ago on "Christian Nationalism" and "Religion and Politics".

Yes, we're Biblical Christians but we're also Christian-Americans "for such a time as this", and for a reason (I must add).  

Every now and then it seems, there's an extremely emboldened politician who makes a really extreme move in order to test the nerve of the American people.  This politician thinks she can place a "pause" on our constitutional rights!  

We saw them do similar during the C*vid drama not long ago didn't we?

I remember when a Houston Mayor a few years back made a decree stating that Church pastors needed to hand in their sermons ... Remember that one?

Testing the will of the American people.   That's what these elites do.

This demonstrates not just their desperation but intentions despite their denials and hypocrisy.   We've been seeing their incremental desecration of our US Constitutional laws for decades.    

Pray for our nation.  

Pray for the USA.

Convention of States? | Don't get conned!

Do you believe in the separation of Church and State?

 

Answering Sam Harris / Christopher Hitchens

 

Sam Harris says that the "atheist" doesn't need to believe in an after-life but can enjoy life knowing they're star dust:

By that same logic, you can also say that becoming nihilistic is just as much a conclusion of someone's mental state.  so now the question is, how many will find hope in believing they are merely stardust with no intrinsic purpose in life and find ultimate satisfaction in this verses falling into a maladaptive nihilistic mentality which can bring on depression, learned helplessness, and suicidal ideation, etc.  

Human common sense SHOULD answer that for all of us.

_____________

Christopher Hitchens has said that the so-called atheist can "do good" also, because they don't need God:

That's actually NOT the important point of this matter.  The point is that while all of us have what we may perceive to be good/bad in us, (By God's grace) the grounding of the WHY anything is good/bad is necessary in order to hold it to a universal standard of which the professed atheist can't do outside of God.

Until they have a solid standard of what is right or wrong, good or evil, they can't make any claims to moral judgments because they'd be operating on a subjective moral standard which shifts and alters. Also, their judgments have no foundation other than the professed atheist's own arbitrary subjective feelings and preferences.

Another massacre! Lord stand near those families who have to go through this living nightmare in Texas and in New York . Let us groan and mourn with those who are in endless pain and turmoil. Lord have mercy on us! The world won't address this correctly because it CAN'T. "... and the way of peace thy have not known". Prayers for those loved ones of all those lost, hurt and affected by this depravity. 🙏

Pro-DEATH'S Gone wild!

 

Pro-Life Buildings Attacked in 2 States, but Pro-Life Leaders Undaunted: 'We Will Not Back Down'

Click on this link for article: 

The fangs of the pro-death side come out, and they don't care about making political sense, laying a moral stance, or benefitting human kind in any way.  

Anyone who calls "Murder care", Healthcare, has drank the cool 'aid.  

Anyone who says murdering our offspring is the best plan to heal the social ills of poverty, injustice etc., has gotten drunk on the cool 'aid, etc.

When you can't make sense for maintaining an American holocaust on every street corner in the nation, you have to bring on the violence because.... 

EVIL DOES NOT NEED AN EXCUSE TO COMMIT EVIL

Life without God is absurdity

When there's no fundamental grounding to the meaning of right and wrong, good and evil, etc., those things become arbitrary, and we're left without a standard for these and other things that ground us as human beings.

And we need to make sense of all these things in order to  live together on this earth.

The growing secularist society continues teaching its children that we're simply just a spec of star dust with no transcendent importance but somehow this is supposed to have some sort of romantic appeal in its claim.

The implications are far and wide when one considers that "How one thinks, one behaves".  

Is it no wonder we're seeing the growth of nihilistic attitudes and behavior in morality on the 6 'O'clock news every day?

World view in absurdity

 

Morality?  Where does it come from?

Atheists:

Jean-Paul Sartre - "If God does not exist, everything is permissible".

Bertrand Russel - "Life is meaningless".

- 

If individuals set the rules, then it's "every man for himself" as every man determines what is right or wrong - and you know there won't be a whole lot of consensus because one person's morality won't be another person's morality.

That tends to lead to tyrannical rulership, kingdoms and popery - which most people disagree with ... or it leads to narcissism, nepotism and nihilism.

But if "society rules", then it's the group with the most power that rules which is MOB RULE and how will we know if they'll get morality right?... In fact, we have more than enough to go on in recorded history which shows that MOB RULE never gets it right.   Mob rule always leads to ANARCHY.

No society in human history has every "gotten it right".  So, if morality is a product of evolution, WHEN will we get it right.. WHEN will we finally "get there"?   If humanity has been around for 100k years or more, then what's taking so long?  We're able to build pyramids and roads and even during times of so much advancement where we're almost dancing on Mars, and yet we're STILL NOT THERE???

Unlike the philosophy that says man determines the correct standard, The Bible presents a Godly standard which says that God has spoken, and has determined what is right and wrong; what is perfect and imperfect.  

If we reject that standard, we'll have to present another standard which humanity has never been able to do.

... 

"Atheist" Objections to Christ

Here's a list of common objections to Christianity. I tried to answer as best I could. One thing to take note of is the bias and the presuppositions behind the thinking that forms many of these questions. When we recognize what lenses are being used to formulate these questions, we can answer them more Biblically honest. Thanks for listening!

 

Politics from the Pulpit -

Should Christians get involved in politics and if we do, what should it look like?

It's a fine line and can get pretty complicated.  If we as Christians get involved in politics we must bring God's Word into a political platform. If we do, will we be able to properly fit into our current left or right political platforms?

Beware of those who state that this can be easily done or that God's Word, the Bible can fit easily into any political platform we have now in the US.  

While it's a shame not to have ANY political voice today and stay away from anything going on in the culture, it's just as bad to try and force the Word of God into our current Democratic or Republican political platform which by and large, is a man-made pragmatic and moralistic creation.  

Look out for my podcast coming soon, where I'll try and tackle this subject.  Hopefully, I'll drag this subject back out for someone out there and get us to continue talking about it.
