Who Killed this 14 Year Old Boy?

I just read an article about a 14 year old boy who killed himself.  The article says it was because he had been bullied by others for his sexual preference.  The article goes on to say that this is horrible and points to homosexual groups as saying that such things can be avoided if we would just be more tolerant.

What a foolish age I find myself living in.  When I was 14 I hadn’t heard anything about such sexual preferences.  You might say that my ignorance was something that belonged to that age.  And that today I need to catch up to the things which require tolerance.  Are you so blind that you don’t perceive what’s happened here?  It was not the boy who decided he was bent toward members of his own boyhood.  It was the adults who have made this item a matter of national interest.  You adults who promote your filthy sexual preferences as if they are worthy of national acclaim are the ones who killed this child.  You told him that he has every right to chase after every form of sin.  And he has paid the price for your foolishness.  You killed him by insisting that you have your own way.  You negate the Law of God so that you can chase after any pleasure you desire.  And you hate anyone who denies you this foolish “right”.

Hate me.  And you will.  Because I spoke the truth here.  And God will uphold these words.  The same could be said of those who drink to excess, then brag that they have the right to do as they please.  They teach the children how to sin.  The same could be said of you parents who allow yourselves to watch porn, or teach your children that a yellow light means speed up.  The same could be said of every adult who treats God’s Word the Bible as if it were simply a book of myths, and is only good because of it’s cover.  The same could be said of you who proclaim to be Christians yet your children never see you pray or consider God’s ways in your finances, relationships, or testimony. 

Though we are all to blame for the horrifying mess this world is entering, there is no doubt that those who sin and teach others to do the same will be judged more harshly.  Withdraw your sin from public view and you will cause others to consider their ways also.  Proclaim that you have the “right” to be perverse, and others will be strengthened to do the same. 

WOE TO ALL WHO CALL GOOD EVIL AND EVIL GOOD!

911 and Beyond.

Americans are consumed with today.  And rightfully so.  It was a horrible loss of life for the sake of a false god.  Two things come to mind regarding America’s mourning for September 11, 2001:

God saw it all and has those souls placed in their proper place for eternity.

And there is no date on the calendar void of remembrance of horror.  All countries have their horror.  And there is a great more suffering yet to come. 

Though most will consider this day with a somber mind, will they turn to the One who places souls where they belong for eternity?  Will you allow the death of American citizens to provoke your understanding of eternity and the judgment to come?

Perhaps you think it crass of me to use this horrible day as an oportunity to speak about the Judgment to come.  Everyone who dies, dies as they are at that moment.  How many of those souls are wishing they could speak to you about where they are?  They were doing what you are doing now.  When it comes your turn will you wish you had listened?  And wouldn’t you want to tell others where you then find yourself? 

Death is absolutely necessary for every man, woman and child.  Don’t you find it interesting that we’re not allowed to speak of anything but consoling words when it is encountered?  Isn’t this the first place where the Gospel is challenged?  Challenged in that those who die, know without a doubt, that it is true.  And challenged by those who remain because it speaks of a greater horror than the death of flesh.

Inner Peace.

 As I sought inner peace. My fingers turned over every act I had ever done.  Good or bad, I examined them as they reached my fingers.  Then I noticed the selfish little bugger looking over my shoulder to see if I would stir up righteous acts as I dug around. I turned to take a good look at who would be following me around within the dark haunts of my soul. It was me! As I sought inner peace, I was actually seeking self righteousness.

Fool that I am. There is One righteous. And He is not me.

American Security. What a sham!

America is ruined.  A people spoiled by law.  As a basket of fruit might rot if left unattended.  If we speak of what is true we are shut down because we are not allowed to offend another’s mind.  Our speech and actions have become limited by the desires of sinful men.  No longer is the Word of God allowed to roam the streets.  Wisdom is no longer welcome at the city gates.  And can anyone point to a place in any city or town where entrance is required?

Where have we provided security for what is true?  Where is the guard in the watchtower who proclaims the approach of lies?  It is too late.  The enemy has been granted access to our most precious places.  How can we now point to an enemy who would destroy what is good?  He is now among us ruling and guiding the people into what is foolish and deadly.  Lost!  Lost is the hope of redemption for the security of truth within the houses of this once great nation. 

Is there any hope left?  Sadly, not for the nation itself.  But for the individual citizen there is still hope.  Turn to truth.  Abandon the way of lies and seek the Truth of God in Jesus.  In this there is hope.  But if you look for hope from the laws of America you will find none.

My Dad’s in Prison.

I started out to search for the Lord God who made me.  Innocently I inquired from those who said they had the answers.  I found answers and embraced them as best I could.  And as a child I entered into a relationship with the Almighty God through Jesus.

Over the years it has become apparent that I stand in a very hated place.  I defend the Glory of the One who made me, gave His life for me, and is causing me to learn to love Him.  This has become very curious to me, this hated place.

If my dad had been an honorable man and was accused of a horrible crime.  And after the accusation he was remanded to jail for the rest of his life.  And all of society believed the lie that he was guilty.  And if I knew, beyond any doubt that he was innocent of the charges against him.  Do you think it would be right for me to sit quietly while my dad was in prison? 

Though I were the only one to stand up for him, I would stand.  Those who believed he was guilty would learn to hate me.  But should I stop trying to right the wrong?  It would be wrong for me to remain silent.  And so it is with God.

He has done nothing wrong.  But men accuse Him of horrible crimes.  He is jailed in society and people rail against Him.  He has been accused of the ultimate hate crimes.  But He is not guilty of any crime.  He will never be guilty.  And I will not stop defending His honor as long as He allows me breath.

Why is Our Leader Such a Liar?

Have you asked yourself why we need to confirm everything President Obama says?  Have you found yourself noticing that almost everything he says is a lie, or at minimum a partial truth?  And have you asked yourself why America has such a marginally capable leader? 

If you’ve asked these questions or pondered the current plight of our nation, you’ve likely entertained many possible answers.  Let’s be frank:  America wanted freedom to do what they wanted to do.  America wanted a nation without God.  And they sought someone who would lead them away from truth.  I could go into detail about why this is true.  But I’ll leave it up to you to consider.  America has a leader who is a perfect reflection of the direction the majority is headed. 

If you want truth, turn to God.  If you want lies, turn to the President.
