It is odd, but even in their great destructive power, we find volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons, etc., awe-inspiring. The tremendous power which God has imbued in the natural creation demands our respect.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:20-24, KJV

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!

By the way, when we come to Jesus Christ and are reborn in the Spirit, the Scriptures make it very clear that we should undergo a spiritual and mental change in our lives, and that we should in fact become NEW CREATURES in Jesus Christ. We should NOT remain the same, living our same old life style, and living in our same old sins. That means that people who belong to the LGBTQ crowd should NOT continue practicing their sexual deviancy. Here is Scriptural proof:
“God’s Desire for Healing and Repentance” KJV Bible Verse List:
You work so hard and you work all day,
You sweat your brow just to get your pay.
Even still you never seem to get ahead,
Slaving away until the day you’re dead.
It’s a crappy world where rich men rule,
Outside of their club you’re just a tool.
The game is fixed they break our backs,
We’re not really free there’s another tax.
There is an answer but not of this Earth,
The Lord loves us and He sees our worth.
Only in His Kingdom are we truly free,
Jesus Christ himself paid for our liberty.
