Has God given you the right to own a gun? WWUTT

22 Dec 2022 Michael A

The following 1-minute, 30-second video explains some basic things about society: that people are permitted to own property and to protect that property. This administration is attempting to take away these basic biblical rights that God established long ago. Following the video, are links to three posts in this blog that explain the democrat left’s true rationale for wanting to take your guns. Post one is about Parkland school shootings; 2, about strategies of every communist leader before occupying a country; and 3 about the communist strategies of Saul Alinsky that make up the handbook of the democrat left.

Telling the Truth in a Post-Truth World, Part B – John MacArthur

30 Oct 2022 Michael A

Dr. MacArthur’s sermon emphasized the necessity of the born-again believer speaking God’s truth in our society. He explained the major problems of this society, and how these are the result of God’s judgment of abandonment. He briefly traced the social history of that judgment using Romans 1, and went to 2 Corinthians 10 and talked about ideological strongholds, how God’s truth is the only way those fall… that we must be focused on breaking these down by speaking God’s truth. He also explained how false teachers interfere with truth being spoken; and how politicians are increasing judgment by codifying wickedness, and more.

Abortion Survivors Speak Out: ‘We Are Just as Human as You’ – Epoch Times

28 Oct 2022 Michael A

“That baby growing inside that woman is not a disease,” he said. “This is something that has a heartbeat, something that has the very essence of life. Calling an abortion health care is [like] saying that a child is a disease—that it’s something that can just be eradicated and no thought has to be given toward that child or that life.” “Babies survive abortions,” Sertell said. “Not clumps of cells, not fetuses … but babies, human beings, survive abortions, and I am one of them. We are just as human as you and everyone else in the world, and the experience of having someone try to kill you before you were born makes a lasting impression on you—physically, emotionally and spiritually—that no other human should have to go through.”

Teachers, Staff Say Schools Trained Them to Hide Students’ Gender Identity From Parents – Epoch Times

22 Oct 2022 Michael A

…Secrecy surrounding a student’s gender transition has prompted Texas state Rep. Steve Toth, a Republican, to plan legislation for a Parent Bill of Rights during the 2023 Texas legislative session. It would be modeled on Florida’s law. …In a press release issued on Oct. 18, Toth accused trustees in one of the most conservative areas in Texas of not being transparent with parents on transgender issues. …Toth said teachers should be required to alert parents when students question their gender, not help youngsters hide their uncertainty. “At no time have they reversed their policy,” Toth told The Epoch Times. “You don’t have the right to withhold this information from Texas parents.”

John MacArthur Rebukes Gavin Newsome

8 Oct 2022 Michael A

The following 4-minute video by Pastor Everhard praises Dr. John MacArthur for confronting current issues that impact the church. Pastor Matt also compared MacArthur to Solomon Stottard in terms of the quality and length of his ministry. [I often turn to MacArthur for his take on social events; he consistently stands for the Bible. I am trying to learn how to do that. If you are a biblical Christian, look to him for biblical guidance regarding social trends.]
