Pennsylvania Citizens Hold Prayer Rally At State Capitol Calling for Christian Morality In Governance.

By Bryce Abbott | May 7, 2022

On May 2, a prayer rally was staged on the steps of the Pennsylvania State Capitol in response to fears that America was on the verge of becoming socialist. At Citizens for Liberty’s “Make Pennsylvania Godly Again” gathering, state officials and political hopefuls were among the speakers. The head of the Montgomery County-based organization, Jane Taylor Toal, told The Epoch Times, “We need to incorporate God back into our governance.” As the primary elections in Pennsylvania loom on May 17, Toal and allies expressed anxiety about the state’s future trajectory. “We need godly individuals in government because they cannot lead us unless they are godly.” They will take us to socialism and communism, which we are, sadly, slowly but steadily moving into,” she warned. According to Toal, an increasing number of Americans believe their God-given entitlement to the Second Amendment…

Psaki Refuses To Denounce Left Wing Protests At The Homes Of Public Figures.

By Bryce Abbott | May 6, 2022

The White House supported the right of left-wing pro-abortion demonstrators to demonstrate outside the residences of six conservative Supreme Court Justices on May 5, avoiding the term “extreme,” instead asking for “peaceful protest.” Outgoing press secretary Jen Psaki called for “peaceful protest.” Rallies erupted Monday in response to the release of a draft Supreme Court judgment that might overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that made abortion legal across the United States. Psaki termed the protests as “outrageous.” The Supreme Court was surrounded by barricades, and security around the Justices was increased. Furthermore, the left-wing group Ruth Sent Us published the alleged addresses of six conservative Justices and called for a May 11 “walk-by” demonstration. “At the houses of the six radical judges, three of them are from Virginia and three from Maryland.” “Let us know if you’d like…

Scourge of Earth: When Lake Powell Falls Below 3,490 Feet (1,063 Meters), It Will Disrupt the Western Us Electricity System, Impacting Up to Five Million People in Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming

By StevieRay Hansen | May 6, 2022

HNewsWire: According to AP News, the megadrought in the United States West is still wreaking havoc, with federal authorities considering limiting water supply downstream on the Colorado River to avoid the closure of a large dam that supplies electricity to millions of people. Lake Powell fell to 3,525 feet (1,075 meters) this month, the lowest level since the federal government dammed the Colorado River at Glen Canyon (northern Arizona) more than 50 years ago. As a result, Interior Department officials have proposed holding back water at the dam in order to retain the dam’s capacity to produce electricity. Interior Assistant Secretary Tanya Trujillo warned that if Lake Powell dips below 3,490 feet (1,063 meters), it could disrupt the electricity infrastructure in the western United States, possibly impacting up to five million people in Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah,…

Chinese Citizens Protest For Supplies And Rations Amid Zero COVID Lockdowns.

By Bryce Abbott | May 6, 2022

People’s frustrations are boiling over a month after Shanghai was placed under lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19. More than 20 million people in this massive city are without food, supplies, or freedom. Many Shanghai residents, frustrated by the “Zero-Covid Policy,” began banging pots and pans on their balconies and in open windows to protest the policy. Some members of the neighborhood broke past the barricade and rushed to the streets, demanding that basic requirements be delivered. Many communities demonstrated against the Zero-Covid Policy on April 28 by pounding pots and woks. This was a “concert” that Shanghai residents arranged through the internet to “smash pots and plead for supplies” in order to avoid censorship. “There is an uprising in Shanghai tonight,” several residents stated, demonstrating “Shanghai people’s perseverance.” Shanghai residents’ unhappiness has reached a crescendo now that the…

Sexual Sin, Divorce, Murder, Greed, Torture & Child Abuse… HNewsWire: Pro-abortion advocates erupted in violence in Los Angeles yesterday as they demonstrated against a leaked draft judgment from the Supreme Court of the United States, which indicates that the court may overturn Roe v. Wade in June. The assaults resulted in the injury of one police officer.

Additional police officers were sent, and a citywide police tactical alert was issued for the area around Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles. According to Fox News, online photographs and videos revealed that cops were primarily focused on keeping an eye on the…

THE NATURAL MAN JUDGES THE OUTWARD- GOD JUDGES THE HEART

By Edward O'Hara | May 5, 2022

1COR.2:14,15 TELLS US THE SPIRITUAL MAN JUDGES ALL THINGS. But, how is this possible when Jesus told them in Mt.7:1-3 not to judge lest they should be judged? It is because they were not spiritual, but only natural. And as natural men they themselves were not ready to be judged because they had not yet been judged as all who are spiritual have. Because all who are spiritual have already been judged to be righteous by the faith of Christ. When the natural man judges he looks on the outward appearance. But, God looks on the heart. And 1Cor.2:14,15 tells us there is a spiritual man that “judges all things”. Here we are told this is something that those who have received God’s gift of the spirit allows the believer to do. And it is only by this judgment that we can…

According to a notice posted on the group’s website on Thursday, “The People’s Convoy” trucker movement is returning to Washington, D.C. According to the website, the convoy will depart Post Falls, Idaho, on Thursday, and “we welcome everyone to join us on our trek back to DC.” The convoy’s “urgent requirements are money and boots on the ground,” according to the organizers.

Pol Pot Was a Marxist-Leninist Student of Mao, The Leadership of BLM Is a Marxist Student of Pol Pot, Another Way of Analyzing This Movement (Evil to The Bone)

By StevieRay Hansen | May 5, 2022

 Most Americans don’t know who Pol Pot was Pol Pot was a Marxist-Leninist, a student of Mao, and the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea from 1963 to 1981. He turned Cambodia into a one-party dictatorship. He dreamed of converting his country into an agrarian socialist society he believed would evolve into a communist society. In order to realize that objective, millions were forced to toil in the countryside. “Bad elements” and “New People”—intellectuals, government officials, Buddhists, shopkeepers, disfavored ethnicities—were either worked to death in rural collectives or executed outright.  Between 1975 and 1979, it is estimated between 1.5 and 2 million people—nearly a quarter of the population—lost their lives. The Khmer Rouge made Maximilien Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution look like amateurs by way of comparison.  Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge…

and Big Tech, Will Facebook Bans Ads Questioning Safety of COVID-19 kill shot Vaccines… Mark Zuckerberg has clearly had enough of being hauled in front of Congress and hectored by a gang of senior citizens and listening to the head of the ACLU slam his company as a vessel for violent hate speech. Because over the past few months, Facebook has done a complete 180 on its position about speech, particularly sensitive political speech. Zuckerberg has apparently been shaken from his non-interventionist approach by announcing that FB wouldn’t accept new political ads during the last week of the campaign, and just yesterday announcing that Facebook would crack down on holocaust deniers on its platform. The company has also launched salvos against QAnon and election-related misinformation, while taking an aggressive approach toward political advertising, and political content in general. And as…

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the Lord.

Vice President Mike Pence told a crowd of graduates from the Christian-based Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, that they ought to be ready for ridicule because this secular world is about as intolerant of those of the faith as can be.

There is no doubt that persecution is a stark reality of living the Christian life. Christian persecution is to be expected: the apostle Paul warned that “everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus said that, if they persecuted Him, they will also persecute His followers (John 15:20). Jesus made it clear that those of the world will hate Christians because the world hates Christ. If Christians were like the world—vain, earthly, sensual, and given to pleasure, wealth, and ambition—the world would not oppose us. But Christians do not belong to the world, which is why the world engages in Christian persecution (see John 15:18–19). Christians are influenced by different principles from those of the world. We are motivated by the love of God and holiness, while the world is driven by the love of sin. It is our very separation from the world that arouses the world’s animosity (1 Peter 4:3–4).

Christians must learn to recognize the value of persecution and even to rejoice in it, not in an ostentatious way but quietly and humbly because persecution has great spiritual value. First, the persecution of Christians allows them to share in a unique fellowship with the Lord. Paul outlined a number of things he had surrendered for the cause of Christ. Such losses, however, he viewed as “rubbish” (Philippians 3:8) or “dung” (KJV) that he might share in the “fellowship of [Christ’s] sufferings” (Philippians 3:10). The noble apostle even counted his chains as a grace (favor) that God had bestowed upon him (Philippians 1:7).

Second, in all truth, Christian persecution is good for believers. James argues that trials test the Christian’s faith, develop endurance in his life, and help develop maturity (James 1:2–4). As steel is tempered in the forge, trials and persecution serve to strengthen the character of believers. A Christian yielding graciously to persecution demonstrates that he is of superior quality as compared to his adversaries (see Hebrews 11:38). It’s easy to be hateful, but Christlikeness produces kindness and blessing in the face of evil opposition. Peter says of Jesus, “When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly” (1 Peter 2:23).

Third, Christian persecution enables believers to better value the support of true friends. Conflict can bring faithful children of God together in an encouraging and supportive way they might not have known otherwise. Hardship can stimulate the Lord’s people toward a greater resolve to love and comfort one another and lift one another to the throne of grace in prayer. There’s nothing like an unpleasant incident to help us reach a greater level of brotherly love.

Even in the face of Christian persecution, we can press on. We can thank God for His grace and patience with us. We can express gratitude for those whom we love in the Lord and who stand with us in times of distress. And we can pray for those who would accuse, misuse, or abuse us (2 Corinthians 11:24Romans 10:1).

A working definition of hate speech is "speech that is intended to insult, intimidate, or cause prejudice against a person or people based on their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, political affiliation, occupation, disability, or physical appearance." If that is the accepted definition, a Christian should never participate in hate speech. However, the problem is that the definition of hate speech is broadening over time. Proclaiming that a certain belief is wrong or that a certain activity is sinful, based on biblical principles, is increasingly being included in the definition of hate speech.

Ephesians 4:15 refers to "speaking the truth in love." First Peter 3:15 instructs Christians to defend their faith, but to do so "with gentleness and respect." Colossians 4:6 proclaims, "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt." Sadly, some Christians fail to follow these biblical instructions. Some Christians (or at least people who claim to be Christians) speak the truth but speak it in such a way that it is very hateful. One prominent example would be Westboro Baptist Church and its "God hates fags" slogan. Westboro Baptist Church is correct in declaring the Bible's teaching that homosexuality is sinful, but they are declaring this truth in such a way that it is intended to be incendiary, offensive, and hurtful. Needless to say, the Bible does not support such methods.

It is likely that in the near future, governments will begin declaring more speech as hate speech, thereby making it illegal. In some parts of the world, it is illegal to say that homosexuality is a sin. In some countries, it is illegal to declare one religion right and other religions wrong. This steady broadening of what qualifies as hate speech could eventually lead to any effort to evangelize being declared hate speech since it would be "hateful" to tell a person that what he/she currently believes is incorrect.

What the perpetrators of this expanded hate speech definition fail to realize (or admit) is that to tell someone the truth is an act of love, not hate. Is it hateful for a teacher to tell a student that his/her answer is wrong? Is it hateful for a building inspector to tell a construction company that they are building on a faulty foundation? Of course, the answer to these questions is no. However, that is precisely the illogic that is being applied to current hate speech legislation. Telling someone that his/her religious views are wrong is somehow hateful. Telling someone that his/her lifestyle is immoral is somehow hateful. The logic is not, in any sense, consistent with how truth is determined in other areas of society.

Our goal is to speak the truth in love. We do not hate Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Catholics, Mormons, or Jehovah's Witnesses. Rather, we simply believe that these groups are making some serious theological and biblical errors. We do not hate homosexuals, adulterers, pornographers, transsexuals, or fornicators. Rather, we simply believe that those who commit such acts are making immoral and ungodly decisions. Telling someone that he/she is in the wrong is not hateful. In reality, refusing to tell someone the truth is what is truly hateful. Declaring the speaking of truth, presented respectfully, to be hate speech, is, in fact, the ultimate demonstration of hate.Source

It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.

Like Joseph and Daniel of the Old Testament who served secular kings, we are called to serve everyone and help them fulfill their divine destiny. Jesus made it clear that people who want to lead or be great must be the servants of all. Serving is the way of leadership in the kingdom.

Forcing our way onto the world is not great leadership. Some accuse us of doing this very thing because we speak up on moral issues. It is important that we speak up on issues, but it's also equally important that we love everyone no matter their persuasions.

Someday Jesus will rule the world; in the meantime, we should just serve well and let our good works speak of our Father who loves everyone.
