They target your emotions to keep you engaged on their site so their advertisers can drop more ads. These platforms exist to enrich their stockholders.

We certainly live in a covetous age, where people clamour after the latest and best things. And not only do we covet possessions, we also covet after other men and women, whether married or not. The majority of people today are seeking after worldly riches, rather than eternal heavenly riches.

Again, this end of the world sign also applies to the churches of today. Just look at what the prosperity gospel is producing! “HillSong” Professing Christians just in it for earthly riches.

Also, think about how many women are coveted and lusted after everyday, because of the tight, revealing clothing they wear these days. And not just on the streets, but in the churches also! And again, the television, internet, magazines, billboards, etc, causes us to covet and clamour after the latest things this world has to offer. No doubt we live in a covetous time like no other.

I am a proud faculty member of Texas Tech University, an institution I believe in for its ability to effect change and to promote diversity. 

Every day, I drive down 19th Street along the southern edge of campus, and every day, I see advertisements for the Hillsong United concert, which will take place at Texas Tech’s own United Supermarkets Arena on Friday, April 26. 

Our students, too, see this ad, but I wonder if the administration is aware of the public stances Hillsong United has taken during a time of increased violence toward and restriction of the LGBTQIA community.

Hillsong United is a worship band that travels the world representing the Hillsong Collected group of megachurches. This is a church that, unlike Texas Tech University, does not affirm folks on the LGBTQIA spectrum. According to Brian Houston, the global senior pastor of Hillsong, “Hillsong Church welcomes ALL people but does not affirm all lifestyles. Put clearly, we do not affirm a gay lifestyle and because of this we do not knowingly have actively gay people in positions of leadership, either paid or unpaid.”

Per the Texas Tech mission statement, “The university is dedicated to student success by preparing learners to be ethical leaders for a diverse and globally competitive workforce.”

Hosting a group on campus that explicitly denies the humanity and affirmation of queer individuals goes against this very mission, and I ask that the administration withdraw Texas Tech from hosting this event.

Hillsong is Australia’s largest church. Hillsong also has congregations in London, Kiev, and in 25+ locations in Africa. Known thoughout the world for its hugely popular worship songs, the church has released over 40 worship albums since 1992. Unfortunately, the theology of Hillsong Church leaves much to be desired. It promotes Word-Faith theology, with a major emphasis on the so-called prosperity teaching.

John Wesley who said that what we tolerate in our generation, will be embraced by the next. Wesley is 100% correct! We are living in sick times.

HNewsWire- “All political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.” Just look at some of our modern day examples: torture is “enhanced interrogation techniques”; murder is “collateral damage”; the aggression initiation of war is a “pre-emptive strike”; the theft of taxpayers’ money is a “bailout”; and the theft of depositors’ money in a bank is a “haircut” or “bail-in”.In a blatant example of Newspeak, the New World Order controllers (through the psychiatric DSM V) have tried to rename pedophiles as “minor-attracted persons” and redefine pedophilia as a “sexual orientation”. This makes no sense, since sexual orientation has to do with gender not age, with whether you are attracted to males or females, not how old they are. There are even organizations (like B4UAct.org) which are claiming that pedophiles are being unfairly stigmatized for their feelings!

Justice is a word that stands alone, adding anything to it demeans it….

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

Children are being misplaced or lost in our foster care system, we must demand more openness and accountability from each state.

“It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. Let me tell you something, friend, it is not love and it is not friendship if we fail to declare the whole counsel of God. It is better to be hated for telling the truth, than to be loved for telling a lie. It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated. It’s better to stand alone with the truth, then to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel and Paul said, ‘If any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

Proverbs 31:8 (NIV)
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute

MY MISSION IS NOT TO CONVINCE YOU, ONLY TO INFORM…

Jesus come quick, there is nothing left in society that’s sacred….
