Spiritual wickedness is coming down from high places, darkness disguised as light. One wonders if there’s any future for the institutional church.
Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a church and you see anywhere on its premises the words, “welcoming and affirming,” turn around and walk the other way. Three guesses as to whom they’re welcoming and what they’re affirming.
The latest evil comes from the Church of England, which has voted to welcome and affirm transgenderism (http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/church-of-england-goes-full-apostate-create-new-liturgical-materials-lgbt-transgenders/). In fact, they have even proposed to create a brand-new church ceremony to celebrate some poor lost, addled soul’s “gender transition.” Sort of like baptism or marriage or a christening, I guess. Only inspired by the Devil.
Flatline Protestantism strikes again. The Bible says, “Male and female created He them.” The secular world says, “We create ourselves in whatever gender we might fancy at the moment.” Guess whose side the flatline Protestants are on.
Look, it’s quite simple. Either the Bible is God’s word, or it is not. And if it is not, then we don’t have God’s word, period. We can’t even be sure there is a God to pity us.
I have never in my life seen anything take off like this whole “transgender” movement. It’s as if the world was waiting for it.
I think this is one of those false Christs that the real Christ warned us about. It certainly has shown a remarkable power to use a self-evidently false delusion to deceive many clever men and women.
Wickedness and demonic activity is on the increase in these last days. In fact, it appears the gas pedal is pushed to the floor.
Nothing new under the sun. Sodom and Gomorrah have reappeared.
And there seems to be a lack of conscience and a lack of regard for life, including their own. The times are evil and God’s people must be wearing their armor at all times.
There are so many souls completely oblivious of God. They struggle through life leaning on humans without regard to the saving grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ – both for the trials of this age, and for entrance into His kingdom.
And this just came across my desk:

Insanity runs rampant with demonic activity.
Only 22 “genders”? New York City recognizes 31, and Facebook, 50. I’ve got ’em all beat, thought. I recognize 666 different genders. Just haven’t thought up names for ’em all.
Yes, the article does also mention New York City. This nation and much of the world has forgotten God.
You don’t have to know all 666 names for the genders. Just emblazon the number 666 on your forehead and/or hand … oh, wait, didn’t I read about that somewhere?
The Western world is in full self-destruct mode. We have been so prosperous and blessed, but we have turned our backs on the things that made us great. It’s a sad tale, but another sign of the times we live in.
All I can add is that these Church Organizations are showing their true devotions.
They follow the world, not God. How many times are we admonished to be in the world, but not of the world. We should be influencing the culture, and not the other way around. The first Christians went against the grain of the culture, even if it meant paying for it with their lives.
I couldn’t agree more. There are many fine people in various denominations, but the denominations themselves do not necessarily follow God and are frequently influenced by the standards of the World.
Meanwhile,they’ve forced Peter Akinola to retired as Archbishop of Nigeria. He’s one of my heroes (almost got to interview him once: just missed him), standing tall for God’s word. He tried to stop the rot from within, but needed more help than he got.
As in so many other things, good men frequently are squeezed out.
Again we come back to the whole deconstructionist project, the flight from reality, the denial of any objective reality, any absolute truth. Which is, of course, a denial of the Way, the Truth, and the Life. To flee from the truth is to flee from life. And vice-versa.
Jesus, Lord, come quickly!
And we know where deconstructionism was first brewed up–at our feckless, crazy universities.
