I have been told that the daughter of a cousin, which would make me her cousin, had left her Methodist church because her pastor, who was supposed to perform her marriage ceremony, would not let her large German Shepard come in to the church and sit with the family during her wedding.

Politically and spiritually, the condition of the world today is much like a driver trying to back up an18 wheel truck without a rear view mirror, when the driver is about to drive over a cliff. On either side, “occupiers” protesting that it is his fault for being so near the cliff and even trying to reverse the situation.

We have forgotten that nations as well as people can change. The apostle Paul, Moses, King David, were all murderers. David, murderer, adulterer was called a man after God's own heart. (1 Samuel 13:14) Moses, murderer, disobedient, leader of the Jewish nation, appeared with Christ. Paul, murderer, persecutor, writer of 16 books of the new testament, knew the effectiveness of God's forgiveness.

Professing Christians, this side of the cross, generation after generation, have forgotten the power of the cross... what actually happened on the cross, the gospel memorialized, sin's ruin and Christ's redemption. Redemption in the atonement, His blood covering our sins, (1 John 1:7) the stripes inflicted on His body for our healing. (1 Peter 2:24)

We are living in the Laodicean church age (Revelation 3:14-22). Lukewarm, ready for God to spit out. If your family, particularly your family, your friends, your neighbors, your associates, do not consider you a fanatic or nuts then you can be sure you are not a Christian, unsaved. Most are just playing church, most churches just country clubs with steeples. It is so rare for me to meet a minister of the gospel with the passion and personality of a shepherd, a servant, a soul-winner. We are at a time in the history of entitlements, subsidizing, vacations, retirements. A large part of the population on welfare, legalized boredom. More time is available for God's Word than ever in history yet, even the sophisticates-perfumed, well dressed, leisurely, interested in suppers, Yoga classes – do not have time for God's Word or the masses of God's unsaved children.

On one of my three trips to communist China, following the reopening, I encountered the underground church. Always, even from the 1^st century church and it's beginnings in southern France, the church has grown under persecution. There are more Christians in China than the population of America... Christianity is growing even in North Korea, even in Japan.

God's liberty is always right. Escape the attitude of agnosticism, ”make-believe” in the unbelieving church... denominations ordaining homosexual pastors, lesbian Bishops, performing same-sex marriages. Christians are told to separate themselves from such. (2 Corinthians 6:17) We are a royal priesthood, a Holy nation, strangers and pilgrims, our citizenship is in heaven. (1 Peter 2:9) In this world of political correctness everyone seeking popularity (winning friends an influencing people) Christians, who at one time thought it was a sign of honor to be different want to eat, drink, dress, talk, act like the world. Nothing could make the prince of the world, Satin, happier. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)

Not who we are but whose we are. In America, the underground church has begun. Solid Christians tired of ”make-believe” gathering in homes to study, pray, and worship, there are now about 1,400 groups. As denominations such as Baptists, the largest non-Catholic denomination, take flight from the promises of God's Word, more and more will find the worship stability of the cottage just as rewarding as did the early settlers of America... especially young Christians on fire with redemption. My missionary son told me that young Christians on the foreign fields, so enthused with belief, would pray for the sick before seeking a doctor.

Eleven percent of the nations population now take antidepressant drugs. Big Pharma wants every man, women, and child taking at least two prescription drugs their entire life. (NaturalNews.com) Most stores, other than drug stores, give a money back guarantee. Your money back guarantee, in this world of STRESS, lying, cheating, stealing, doubts and fears, is as follows: The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1)

Androgyny

In the 1967 musical Hair, which I saw on Broadway. The most popular song, of which you heard almost constantly on the radio, a medley of two songs - Age of Aquarius and Let the Sunshine In.

Sunshine has always been a wonderful sanitizing agent. In this age of Androgyny (Webster: a mixing of masculinity and femininity) I will attempt to cleanse today's culture with light. We are told that men prefer darkness to light. (John 3:19) In my lifetime, the homosexual agenda, attempt at the confusion of masculinity and femininity by entertainers, secular media, and liberal educators. Anthropology, archeology and every social science tells us that every pagan religion is marked with rabid homosexuality. An attempt has been made to bring pagan Androgyny into the Christian religion... homosexual pastors and priests (Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, etc.), lesbian bishops (at least 25 in the Episcopal church) This week, a practicing homosexual was ordained into the Presbyterian ministry. (Scott Anderson, Madison, WI). God's Word is very specific about the sex of pastors and bishops. We don't know what scripture was used to get it started, several denominations have ordained women into the ministry... most prominent, Methodist. Now, some of the oldest denominations on this continent are making the attempt, not only ordination as ministers but as deacons (Free Will Baptists, Southern Baptists). Women have a definite role in the church but not as bishops, pastors, or even deacons.

There was never a time of more paganism, more homosexuality, affecting the church than at the time of the earthly ministries of Jesus and Paul... Roman rule, Roman paganism. Tradition tells us that even King Herod was married to two men. So, the Androgyny of same sex marriage is nothing new.

The latest paganistic romanticism with the Androgyny of the confusion of sex started after WWII. Women had left the home to work in defense plants. The absolutes of right and wrong, publication of pornography in magazines sold on newsstands (Playboy, Penthouse, etc.) because of an innocuous 23 word prayer, prayer and bible reading taken from the schools (1963), legalized abortion (1973). Schools and colleges turned over to academic totalitarian, non-conformist atheists. No longer were High School or College students taught that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. At the schoolhouse, the courthouse, your house, God was looked upon as a bellhop... anxious to meet your needs instead of you meeting His. The feel good sermons to “itching ears” of such modernists “actors”, playing preacher as Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn, Jim Baker, Oral Roberts brought agnosticism to a new level. Taking flight from the redemptive Power of the Cross, even the Baptists and other evangelicals who had rather be popular with the world than right with God. The average baptist pastor more interested in his pastoral package (vacation, hospitalization, golf club dues), than soul-winning. Not just the Mega-churches, but most pastors and Christians unable to comprehend how the apostle Paul at the height of Roman tyranny towards Christians, blood running down his legs from a back lashing, thrown into the stinking, dirty stocks of a Phillipi jail, at midnight, (the other prisoners watched) (Acts 40:25)) as he and Silas sang hymns.

There was never any confusion about the maleness, BOLDNESS of early Christian men.

Dumbed down by today's schools. Numbed down by today's big Pharma, poisons in our water systems (fluoride, chloride). Chemicals leaching from plastics into everything, destroying maleness. The poet Gilbert Holland as in his poem, cries in vain (God give us Men).

I was once invited to hear “Reverend” Troy Perry, head of the Metropolitan gay churches, speak. Started in California in 1971 with 14 members now, nationwide, over 40,000 members. His entire presentation was an attack on America's traditional churches, making fun of the women in the church, the hypocrisy of the men yet, these gays claim to be Christ-like. Why not start an Androgynous denomination-church of your own. Satin has a church (1960 Anton Lavey - Satanic bible promoting carnal self, membership secret), wiccan, Europe and North American, organized witches much as Christian church but in hives, covenstead, loose membership covering world.

The first chapter of Matthew gives us the genealogy of Jesus. Three sections of 14 ancestors, 42 in all , many flawed men and women, including King David, continuous battles of real men and real women against Satin. (the only disgrace, Babylonian captivity of 586BC) There has always been rebellion of some type against the Creator. The Creation, the creature, has learned and will learn that “to obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22)

America, greatest super power now a traitor to sexuality. Incrementally, women moved, since WWII, slowly to the front lines. A lesbian working in one of my businesses “I was a “token” helicopter pilot in my squadron. She got paid, the billet, but never flew a helicopter.”

America, greatest denominations. Incrementally, women slowly move to the pulpit.

America, greatest wealth, children, sensitive, confused, cheated of mother and father in the home.

God give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands
