Led by LGBTQ-affirming pastor Andy Stanley, mainstream queer Christian Churches are suddenly a thing. Will you be attending the ‘Unconditional Conference’?

What’s the hottest trend in Christianity in 2023? Glad you asked, it’s queer-affirming churches. The charge is being led by a wonderful group of ear-tickling apostates like Andy Stanley, and supported by things like the Asbury Revival and the ‘Jesus Revolution’ movie. Bible doctrine is O.U.T. out, and humanistic relativism with just a pinch of ‘bible-speak’ is in. Welcome to Embracing The Journey, your seat at the ‘Unconditional Conference’ is already reserved and waiting for you. Please remember to forget your Bible when you check in, you won’t be needing that pesky old Book.

“O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7:24 (KJB)

Their site reads as follows: “YOU’RE INVITED to the Unconditional Conference. This two-day premier event is for parents of LGBTQ+ children and for ministry leaders looking to discover ways to support parents and LGBTQ+ children in their churches. You will be equipped, refreshed, and inspired as you hear from leading communicators on topics that speak to your heart, soul, and mind. We deeply desire this time will bring about healing and restoration. No matter what theological stance you hold, we invite you to listen, reflect, and learn as we approach this topic from the quieter middle space. ” Wow, no words. Wait, cancel that, I have some words. Plenty of them, in fact.

My best friend was my brother Bob, who was gay and died of AIDS in 1988. It was his death, and the grief that plagued me in the days after, that put me on my spiritual journey which led to me getting saved on March 14th, 1991. I have often thought of what I would say to him if I could have one more conversation with him. I would tell him of the amazing gift of salvation that Jesus provided on the cross, paid in God’s blood and sealed with His death, burial and resurrection. I would give him the gospel as lovingly and tenderly as I possibly could, but I would not, not for a single second, water down the Bible to make it more palatable for him. I would give it to him in love, absolutely, but I would also give it to him straight as an arrow, and either he could receive it or he could not. Jesus is God in human form, and He came all the way down to the cross to buy our pardon, but if you want it, you have to come up and get it.

Homosexuality is not a disease and it’s not a sickness, it’s sin, and somewhere along the line the Church stopped preaching about that. They stopped because it’s not popular, you cannot grow a megachurch and rake in all that money if you preach against homosexuality. They stopped because pastors started having children who joined the LGBTQ, and the Bible got thrown out the window, replaced by a humanistic, man-centered ‘path to healing and restoration’. That’s a load of crap, homosexuality is sin like any other sin is sin. If you can’t or won’t preach against it, you have no business being a pastor. Unfit for the ministry.

Most of the leadership at Andy Stanley’s North Point Community Church is gay-affirming, with almost all of them being pro-LGBTQ in one way or another.

  • Greg and Lynn Mcdonald are both affirming. Their organization recommends all pro-queer resources and endorses books about why the bible celebrates homosexuality, rather than condemns it.
  • Andy Stanley is affirming, according to testimony by three pastors, and a famed apologist, as well as the ministries he allows to flourish in his church.
  • Debbie Causey is an affirming, pro-gay pastrix at North Point who celebrates affirming ministries and is a board member of the pro-LGBTQ advocacy group Renovus.
  • Justin Lee is the founder of the world’s biggest pro-LGBTQ advocacy group, and regularly promotes homosexuality as an excellent and normative orientation.
  • Rev. Dr. David P. Gushee is a pro-LGBTQ affirming author who wrote a book about it Changing Our Mind: Definitive 3rd Edition of the Landmark Call for Inclusion of LGBTQ Christians with Response to Critics
  • Dr Michael Sytsma sits on the board of Directors of Pro-LGBTQ organization Embracing the Journey and has appeared with North Point staffer Ryan Gray on the church’s Care Network several times as a teacher.
  • Brian Nietzel is a gay man married to his ‘husband’ and is the founder of the pro-LBGTQ advocacy group Renovus, where several members of North Point Church sit on the board.
  • Pastor Chris Clark is a leader of a pro-LGBTQ+ Embracing the Journey support group at Saddleback Church, and has a daughter who he refers to as his trans “son”
  • Al Causey is Debbie’s husband and the Adult Ministries & Ministry Services Director at Gwinnett Church, one of North Point’s satellite churches.
  • David Quinones – a parent of a gay son and a frequent speaker at Embracing the Journey, he builds bridges that foster healing and reconciliation between the church, lgbtq+ individuals, and their families. He recently created a Family Care Group for family members of gay kids.

Christian, it is high time to decide which side you are on, make a choice and stick with it. Do you want to wallow in the slop with the lukewarm Laodicean Church that will be spued out of the mouth of Jesus at the Judgment Seat of Christ, or do you want to stand on God’s preserved word and say “no!” to this foolishness? God recognizes no neutrality, if you try and sit this one out, the Lord will take that as you are in agreement with the apostates. Is that how you want to meet the Lord in the Rapture?

Bibles Behind Bars Staying True To It’s Mission To Bring The King James Bible Into As Many Jails And Prisons That The Lord Will Allow Us To

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

3 years later, Bibles Behind Bars is staying true to our mandate from God to send His preserved word into as many jails and prisons as we possibly can.

Bibles Behind Bars grew out of our Free Bible Program the day the LORD opened the floodgates for us to send out that first shipment of 1,500 King James Bibles to the prison in Port St. Lucie here in Florida. Since then, we have sent out Bibles to dozens and dozens of jails and prisons all across America. Not only that, we also send out New Testaments, scripture portions, Spanish Bibles and Christian literature of all kinds. We even restocked an entire prison library in Wisconsin! We have always promised the more you give, the more we will do, and by God’s grace are keeping that promise each and every day.

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20 (KJB)

One exciting new project that is still in the planning stages is from the door the LORD opened last year with the NTEB Relief Convoy bringing Bibles, food, clothing and water to hurricane victims in North Carolina. We now have the opportunity to purchase a trailer that Charlton will operate from North Georgia, and it will deliver Bibles, books and supplies where needed throughout a multi-state region. A small shed warehouse is also in the planning stages where everything will be stored until needed. If we get the support we need, around $4,000, this will be our first ‘Triple B’ satellite location, exciting stuff! All of it made possible by your prayers and generous financial support. Please pray about it with us!

THIS IS THE BIBLE TRANSPORT TRAILER WE ARE PRAYING ABOUT, IT COSTS AROUND $4,000 TO PURCHASE, PLEASE PRAY ABOUT IT WITH US!!

Currently, we are still raising funds to send Bibles and books to Farmington Correctional Center A Side in Missouri, Baker Re-Entry and Work Camp in Florida, Richland Parish Detention Center in Louisiana, CH Hazlewood in the Texas Prison System, and the Atascadero Maximum Security State Mental Hospital in California. Hopefully these will go out in the beginning of next week with your help. Over in our Free Bible Program, we send out more free Ruckman Reference Bibles to individuals in need who request them from around the world each year than anyone.

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

BLOOD LUST: Hamas Ghoulishly Parades The Dead Bodies Of The Jewish Babies They Murdered To The Cheers Of Palestinians Like In A Sporting Event

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Hamas released the bodies of four Israeli hostages Thursday morning, including the youngest captive in Gaza, who was taken when he was just 9 months old.

Hamas just did the entire world a favor, and you should honestly thank them for it. They accomplished in mere minutes what a hundred years of writing articles about them could not do. What is that, you ask? Hamas just showed the whole world that they are heartless, murderous animals who not only exterminate children, but make sport and spectacle out of displaying and parading their lifeless corpses. The second thing they showed you is that the “average, everyday Palestinian” loves the work that Hamas does, and is complicit in it with them.

And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man‘s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJB)

When you study the short-lived history of the Nazis in Germany, one thing that stands out is how much they relished the killing that Hitler tasked them with doing. They didn’t just kills Jews in the concentration camps, they starved them, tortured them, and made mountains out of their possessions and body parts to show their utter contempt for human life, especially Jewish human life. Hamas is very much the Nazis of the 21st-century, and the “poor, misunderstood Palestinians” are actually the all-too willing participants in Hamas barbarism. So no, I do not stand with the Palestinians, I do not support Gaza, I stand with the Jews and Israel from right now all the way to the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. Where do you stand?

Hamas parades bodies of four Israelis, including toddlers Kfir and Ariel Bibas, in disturbing display alongside propagandist inscription

FROM THE NY POST: The heartbreaking exchange saw the terror group hand over the bodies of Kfir Bibas, along with his brother, Ariel, who was taken when he was just 4, their mother, Shiri, 33, and Oded Lifshitz, 84. The bodies of the Bibas family — whose kidnapping video became a symbol for the horrors of Oct. 7 — and Lifshitz are set to be transferred to Israel, where a funeral will be held for them.

The four coffins containing the victims were displayed on stage in front of a disturbing mural depicting a bloody Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — with fangs — standing over pictures of the Bibas family and Lifshiftz, alongside a propagandist inscription. Placed next to the coffins were two missiles with English text reading, “They were killed by USA bombs.”

“Agony. Pain. There are no words,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog wrote on X. “Our hearts — the hearts of an entire nation — lie in tatters.”

Armed Hamas terrorists and Palestinians had crowded the area in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis to watch the transfer of the victims. Each black coffin bore a photo of a victim and Netanyahu along with a propaganda message.

“Every home in Israel bows its head today. We bow our heads for the heavy loss of our four hostages,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. “The four coffins of our loved ones oblige us more than ever to promise, to swear, that what happened on October 7 will never happen again.”

Four Hamas terrorists carried each victim over to a waiting Red Cross vehicle, where workers draped a white sheet over the coffins before placing them in the back. Shiri Bibas was the first, followed by her sons, Kfir and Ariel. Lifshitz was the last victim carried over to the trucks.

The exchange ended when the five Red Cross vehicles left the exchange area in Khan Younis just before 10 a.m. Thursday. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to The Post that the bodies were handed over to IDF and Israeli Security Agency representatives in Gaza. READ MORE

We have devastating, breaking news to report. The terror group Hamas announced today that the youngest Israeli hostages in Gaza, 2 year old Kfir and 5 year old Ariel Bibas, along with their mother Shiri are dead. CBN’s Raj Nair is joined by Israeli activist Mark Halawa from Jerusalem.

PARTY LIKE IT’S 1938: Vladmir Putin And Donald Trump Are Accused Of Dividing Up Europe Much Like Hitler And Mussolini Did Right Before WWII, Are They?

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s peace talks send a chilling ripple of déjà vu, a historian has warned, sending Europe and Ukraine ‘back to 1938’

Someone once remarked that ‘those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it’, and certainly that applies in this article here today. I honestly don’t know what Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are up to, but I will tell you this, they are up to something. It is highly unorthodox to hold peace talks to end a war, and then not allow the other party with whom the war is being waged to attend the meetings. I mean, how does that happen? It only happens when the terms of ending the war are being dictated from one side to the other. That’s not ‘peace talks’, that’s divide and conquer talks.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Ecclesiastes 1:9,10 (KJB)

I do not see Donald Trump as the Antichrist, as some have said, and I do not see him as Hitler, either. But what I do see is a man that God has put into office, according to Daniel 2:21, to carry out His will in these end times. This may be hard for some of you to swallow, but God has no interest in ‘making America great again’, not by a long shot. What God does have an interest in is carrying out what He told the prophets would be taking place in the last days. I see Donald Trump as an unwitting messenger by whom many of these events will be fulfilled. Elon Musk is by Trump’s side for a reason, the quicker you figure that out the easier this thing will be for you to understand. Dark days are on the horizon, war is coming, and it will begin in Europe as did the other two. That’s the memo.

‘Land-grabbers’ Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin ‘send Europe back to 1938’ with Ukraine intrigue

FROM THE MIRROR UK: A top history expert has accused the two leaders of “land grabbing”, with events in recent days bearing a chilling echo of when dictators Hitler and Mussolini signed away territory which the UK and France agreed to as to not exacerbate tensions. The US and Russia leaders have already appeared to have charged ahead with Ukraine peace talks, effectively locking out Kyiv and other European leaders.

The Trump administration has said the UK and Europe would not play a part in any negotiations as they looked set to plough ahead with talks in Riyadh this week, prompting fierce criticism and concerns. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to visit Washington DC next week after urging America to provide a “backstop” to any settlement brokered between Kyiv and Moscow. On Tuesday, Mr Trump said the US does not “need” to deploy peacekeeping troops and suggested Ukraine “should never have started” the war.

A British historian has already issued an urgent warning about history repeating itself, and has also likened the current situation to Hitler and Mussolini’s “land-grabbing” of the Sudetenland territory in September 1938. Professor Anthony Glees is an expert in European affairs and security who has previously spoken far and wide about the lessons taught by Hitler’s dictatorship.

 He told The Mirror: “I believe most sensible people the length and breadth of Europe are viewing these preparatory talks with a foreboding not experienced since 1938 when the UK & France met Hitler and Mussolini at Munich to sign away lands belonging to free Czechoslovakia to try to appease the fascist dictators. It was sold as ‘peace with honour’ and a ‘peace in our time’.

“But within months Hitler swallowed all of Czechoslovakia and within a year Europe was at war and millions died. Even Neville Chamberlain doubted his own deal because he began rapid rearmament programmes on his return to the UK.”

 Prof Glees added: “That’s the picture Europe has before its eyes right now. A small but brave free democracy fighting for its life is forced to be a bystander as its sovereignty is destroyed by Trump and Putin, both land grabbers, both megalomaniacs, brothers in bullying others.

“It’s outrageous that Trump has humiliated Zelensky in the past and now, literally, tramples over him. Whilst we know Putin is fully aware of the history of the last century, Trump, Hegseth and JD Vance are either clueless about what happens when free nations are sacrificed to war lords or (more likely) they couldn’t care less.”

So far, Britain has been making efforts to balance support for Ukraine alongside diplomacy with our biggest ally. The PM is now expected to try and bridge the gap when he visits the White House next week following an impromptu call from Trump last week, and is likely to call for security guarantees from the US.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, along with allies across the continent, have insisted that Kyiv must have a seat at the table in discussions over its future. Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago retreat in Florida on Tuesday night, Mr Trump said that he was “disappointed” Mr Zelensky had complained about being left out of talks. He suggested Ukraine should have been willing to make concessions to Russia before the 2022 invasion, adding: “Today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited’. Well, you been there for three years. You should have ended it three years (ago). You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.” READ MORE

Donald Trump has blamed Ukraine for Russia’s invasion of its neighbour. Speaking after talks between US and Russia on ending the war, the US President told Ukraine: “You should have never started it, you could have made a deal … I could have made a deal that would have given them almost all of the land.”
