“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you . . . Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.” Hebrews 13:17, 24, KJV
“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” 1 Timothy 5:17, KJV
“For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:” Titus 1:5, KJV
“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:” James 5:14, KJV
“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:” 1 Peter 5:1, KJV
Happy in Jesus, there is no better way,
To live out your life, every single day.
No world filled with sorrow, or dismay,
Give me joy of Spirit, dear Lord I pray.
Forget getting drunk, on booze and wine,
Popping pills, won’t make you feel fine.
Having a smoke, will cut your life line,
Other vices too, lead to a box of pine.
Only God’s Spirit can cure all your ills,
Satan’s offers are all just cheap deals.
Here is the secret, to get big thrills,
Be happy in Jesus, and see how it feels.
While all of the verses in this set of graphics are discussing the ancient, stubborn, rebellious Israelites who repeatedly backslid against the Lord, and fell into deep apostasy, they could just as easily be talking about modern America, or any other modern nation which has heard the Gospel, and yet continues in rebellion against the Lord and His holy Word. Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!
“But They Refused to Listen” KJV Bible Verse List:
Please refer to the series entitled “Dead to the Law: God’s Laws Written on Our Hearts” for a complete explanation of what the word “perfect” means in the following verses.
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48, KJV
“Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:11, KJV
“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” Ephesians 3:19, KJV
“But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.” 1 John 2:5, KJV
“No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. . . . Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:12, 17-18, 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!
Article: “Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: A Warning to Modern Society”:
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:
Liberals claim that our faith is dead,
That our candle has grown quite dark,
But I am here to tell you very clearly,
That we have still got the spark.
Mass media too spreads a web of lies,
They say Christians are on the wane,
But I shoot back, it is another attack,
Because the Church still makes a gain.
Atheists insist our numbers are small,
While they watch their followers rise,
But here’s my take, it’s a big mistake,
Because to Hell he’ll go when he dies.
