Jesus Saves Another from the LGBTQ community

This post contains a 23-minute personal testimony of a homosexual who was led to Jesus. His testimony occurred over several years and is still going on, which seems to be typical. That is, I think that most who are converted from a long-life of sin go through a process something like he described. He now works for First Stone Ministries, which helps the sexually broken. I hope his story is a source of hope for others who are helplessly stuck in sin, sexual and other varieties of sin. Jesus saves sinners, if you are a sinner, then you are qualified to be one of His saved ones.

This post is the part two of a critique on The Nearness. If you have not read post one, then you should before reading this post. Below are 4 very brief videos; 3 are one-minute in length and the 4th is 25 minutes long.

These are the very ideas that were being discussed in the part one of this mini-series, though they were not identified in those terms.

A Catechism on Human Sexuality – Table Talk Magazine Ligonier Ministries

The Western church presently lives in a time of much sexual confusion. Rev. Christopher Gordon has produced a helpful tool to assist Christians in becoming well-grounded in the biblical teaching on human sexuality. The New Reformation Catechism on Human Sexuality uses the time-tested method of catechesis to teach essential truths from God’s Word regarding sexual issues. The editors of Tabletalk interviewed Rev. Gordon shortly after the catechism was produced, as we believe it is a good tool for Christians to use as they endeavor to obey God’s Word.

Oklahoma Governor Defunds State PBS Station, Citing ‘Over-Sexualization of Our Children’ – Epoch Times

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is defending his decision to cut funding for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA), pointing to the “problematic” sexual content broadcasted that targeted children. Last week, Stitt, a Republican, vetoed a bill that sought to extend funding for OETA—the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member station for Oklahoma—through 2026. …OETA broadcasted a segment called “Let’s Learn” that involved reading a children’s book that talks about drag queens. A “PBS Newshour” feature talked about parents’ support for various gender treatments for minors including puberty blockers, and a program on PBS Kids had a same-sex wedding while another included LGBT characters. …“Their ‘LGBTQ+Identity Kit’ is clearly a partisan effort to brainwash teachers and students, sowing seeds of division and hatred in an environment that should seek to protect our children, not use them as political pawns,” said CDF Chief Communications Officer Kristen Huber.

$1.5 Billion to Buy Out Farms—But There Is a Shocking Twist | Facts Matter – Epoch Times

This post contains a 13-minute video about the following: In a shocking development, the European Union just released a new policy document which officially earmarked $1.5 billion euros, in order to start the process of buying out the land from Dutch farmers. But it gets even stranger, because within the policy document, it states that any farmer who sells their farm to the government in the Netherlands is no longer allowed to farm anywhere within the European Union. [The last post in this blog: “Ex-Pfizer VP Warns of Ongoing ‘Global’ Conspiracy….” is addressing a different aspect of the global conspiracy; but he did mention famine, and that will certainly be created by such governmental measures as are covered in this post.]
