Certain misguided people like to insist,
There are many different paths to God,
But if you closely study the Scriptures,
You will see that idea is just plain odd.
While it is true God uses many means,
To lead our steps each and every one,
Eventually we will come to understand,
The only true path is thru His dear Son.
Now folks will surely say what they like,
They’ll point to certain holy men of old,
But unless your faith is in Jesus Christ,
Trust me, you will be left out in the cold.
History tells us of some great teachers,
Many have spoken of wisdom & peace,
There’s one thing only Jesus did for us,
From death He bought us sure release.
And so we see it is for that very reason,
That the Father elevated Him above all,
I pray that you will likewise accept Him,
On the day Jesus gives your heart a call.

Whether some of you realize it or not, our nation has been slip sliding away for literally decades. However, the slide has been so slow, so gradual, and so subtle, that it wasn’t until about halfway through the decade of the 2010s that a lot of people really began to wake up to what has been going on. However, sadly, by that time, it was already too late. Serious damage had already been done, and the victory had already been won. What has been going on since then basically amounts to mopping up exercises and tying up the loose ends. And boy are they doing a good job of it!
So exactly what am I talking about?
Well, do you remember a few decades ago — back in the 1970s, actually — when the LGBTQ+ crowd began claiming that they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives as they please without harassment or discrimination?
Fast-forward fifty years, and you will see one long history of continuous lies, as they aggressively advanced their radical, extreme agenda.
Then came gender reassignment surgery.
Then came renegade, liberal circuit court judges who repeatedly overturned the will of the people.
Then came renegade, liberal state legislatures who likewise overturned the will of the people.
Then came civil unions.
Then on June 26, 2015 came nationwide legalization of same-sex “marriage” by mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States, despite the majority of the American people being opposed to it.
Then came openly gay or lesbian bishops, pastors, priests, politicians, actors, sports figures, and everyone in between.
Then came same-sex union blessings in some of the churches.
Then came adoption of normal, healthy children by same-sex couples.
Then came law suits against Christians and Conservatives who follow their hearts and their faith, and who oppose the LGBT lifestyle.
Then came library books which openly promote the LGBT lifestyle.
Then came gender-neutral bathrooms.
Then came drag queens in our public schools during children’s story hour.
Then came teaching LGBT history in the classroom.
Then came liberal parents who encourage their children to act and dress like the opposite sex.
Then came hormone injections, puberty-blocking drugs in young children and double mastectomies on adolescent girls in order to alter their natural-born physiology so that they could appear outwardly the way that they were being made to feel inwardly by misguided adults and parents.
Then came a gender-neutral option on birth certificates.
Now they promote their ungodly lifestyle in every area of the entertainment and mass media industries where they possibly can, and constantly shove it in our faces. It is inescapable; unless one goes and lives in a cave.
Now, in the latest news, according to an article in The Washington Times, some liberal-minded schools aren’t happy with just offering LGBTQ+ books in their school libraries. Now they want to FORCE young children with impressionable minds to read them, whether they like it or not.
Yes, but of course, as they said, they just wanted to be left alone. Right? If you believe that nonsense, then you are seriously deceived!
Thankfully, some parents are fighting back and taking it to the US Supreme Court. If the justices accept the case, let’s hope that the God-fearing justices on the bench will do what is right in the sight of God by giving these brave parents a victory.
But concerning the LGBTQ+ agenda, well I say this:
What about us? What about our right to live in a Bible-based, God-fearing society which honors and obeys God’s natural order of things? How much longer will God endure this madness and rebellion against His holy Laws? When will His patience finally run out? When will His judgments begin to fall on the wicked who mock Him everyday, and who cast His Word to the ground? As the Apostle John wrote some two thousand years ago:
“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1 John 5:19, KJV
If John were alive today, oh how he would shudder!
Article: “Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: A Warning to Modern Society”:
Jesus prayed for the Church to be one,
Just as He and His most holy Father are,
Yet tragically as I begin to look around,
I cannot help but see we’ve drifted so far.
Apostle Paul also advised God’s Church,
To speak with one mouth and one mind,
But that old Satan had his wicked plans,
And sent in divisive, argumentative kind.
Yes, how he started sifting the brethren,
Using legalism as his weapon of choice,
And within a matter of a few short years,
Brethren no longer spoke with one voice.
Man worship then invaded God’s flocks,
And strange doctrines began to abound,
What had been a united, powerful body,
No longer stood on solid, unified ground.
Many centuries have passed since then,
And this division has only grown worse,
It so saddens me to see how Christians,
Now destroy each other verse by verse.
Yes, we’ve been sifted & have so drifted,
We’re no longer the Church Jesus found,
If the Lord were to visit our current time,
Do you think He’d want to stick around?
Certain Christians claim Earth is flat,
I am sorry, but I simply cannot agree,
Though their doctrine is quite wrong,
Yet they unwisely defend it furiously.
Being misguided about some verses,
I can honestly state I do understand,
But the way they belittle our brethren,
Has sadly gotten totally out of hand.
Such mean-spiritedness shocks me,
It is just not the true way of the Lord,
They condemn and attack opposers,
As they hack away with their sword.
You see, even if their belief were right,
Yet those Flat Earthers remain wrong,
Because their attitude is despicable,
It would be better if we just got along.
So I have heard you have this idea,
Being a great preacher of the Lord,
You see yourself before a big crowd,
Raising high your Christian sword.
Your heart is so filled with emotion,
Seeing how your words they admire,
But I have to ask you a big question,
Is that really the Lord’s true desire?
Now wanting to serve Jesus Christ,
Is truly a very noble vision indeed,
But you also need to be so careful,
That your own ego it does not feed.
When the Lord spoke of greatness,
He stated it was to be servant of all,
It’s not seeking our own recognition,
But serving with humility God’s call.
If you just desire the praise of men,
While before a big crowd you stand,
Your motive for preaching is wrong,
It is important that you understand.
So just make Jesus front and center,
Because He alone is God’s true Light,
And if you follow this my suggestion,
Then all your preaching will be right.
Shrewd politicians have a special knack,
For saying something but nothing at all,
Yeah, they will simply ramble on and on,
But it’s as if they have run into some wall.
You will listen very closely to their speech,
Trying your very best to figure them out,
But quite frankly when they have finished,
You are still wondering what it was about.
It certainly seemed great for a sound bite,
As they rattled off their various thoughts,
Yet despite all of their interesting talking,
Your confused brain is still tied up in knots.
But then as you decide to take more time,
To more clearly decipher what they said,
You suddenly arrive at the firm realization,
They were really messing with your head.
No, they did not actually give information,
Or tell you the positions where they stood,
They just so slyly kept stringing you along,
So you still question what’s under the hood.
So where do YOU stand, partner? If you don’t like any of the available NORMAL options, please feel free to add your own in the comments section. Play nice!
There exist certain people who argue,
Indeed, for the sake of arguing alone,
It really does not matter which subject,
All they care about is picking a bone.
Oh be very careful how they goad you,
Don’t get caught up in their silly debate,
Regardless of what they do to annoy,
Don’t you ever dare swallow their bait.
Their primary goal is to cause division,
So God’s sheep fight some other sheep,
Thus the best way to avoid their trap,
Is by simply not making a single peep.
You need to ignore their taunts & jabs,
Even when you’re so tempted to reply,
And if you resist all of their needling,
That conversation will eventually die.
So this is a good way to handle foxes,
When they try to creep into your midst,
It is better to resolve problems nicely,
Rather than having to rely on your fist.
