Have we degenerated so far these past eight years that an openly devil worshipper runs for office? God has rejected us and gave us over in 2008. We have been under His judgement for a long time, but I think we are done now. Evil is prevailing.
May I opine? I suspect that Pastors are not telling their congregants to keep kids out of public school. I also know that many homes have mom and dad working. Some people are getting saved with a lot of financial baggage and need to pay existing debts and can't pay for private school. I think pastors should start warning their congregants and that fellow believers eho have the means should help by paying for tuition or a portion of it. Punlic school is so bad now you can't send your kids there.

Did not say remove. I was speaking to putting in that position as my post indicated. Not removing if the Pastor was innocent in the case of adultery or desertion.
Hi Justaquery. I understand your question. My opinion is that it may be best not to put that person in leadership even though it was not their fault. Just to not let it ever be an issue. I think its up to the congregation to prayerfully work that out.
Satan is busy and behind the rage from the "atheists". Scripture says atheists don't exist because God has written eternity on their hearts and that the fool has said in his heart there is no God. If God doesn't exist why get mad about the kids going? Harmless as the Easter Bunny of Santa right? Watching a fictional movie? Our battle is with principalities in the spiritual realm.
Great Sermon! I think people like Trump only because he has a big mouth. That's it. American loves 'reality" tv and big mouths. Trump is tabloid and sleazy. He just is. He glories in his promiscuity and has a potty mouth. He has given to the Clinton Foundation and GLSEN yet many Evangelicals preferred him over Cruz. Over other candidates. Won't consider an off party candidate cause "they are wasting a vote for someone unelectable" to vote "for the lesser of two evils" and to "stop Hilary from getting into the White House". Hilary most likely will win against Trump because he is not a formidable opponent. Just a vulgar, loud mouth who never talks about the COTUS (like Mrs. Clinton) just his accomplishments and other people.
well... I did not listen, but read comments. Voting for Trump is not a better alternative to Mrs. Clinton. The reason those two are in the race is because America is a nation with the morals of badgers. If we are honest we have to say this is not a lesser of two evils, but two evils. The "lesser of two evils" is a mantra that we have embraced. It is pragmatism. We allow ourselves to think Republican or Democrat. We dont seek out ther parties cause we tell ourselves and each other that they are unelectable. Again, mantra. No one is electable if no one votes for them. Also, we cannot know the ultimate destiny of anyone, but even Christ says that we will know people by their fruits. He also says that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The gosples are soaked with contrasts btw Believers and non Believers based on fruit. If Jesus tells us to look at fruit to make an assessment of others than we need to heed that. He did not tell us to make a final eternal destiny as we cannot since He saves, but to assess what is obvious in the presence. Something we all do naturally everyday with people, except Donald Trump.
My saved sisters in the 3rd world countries and middle east live under the tyranny of countries that do not claim to be Christian. Very little gospel influence. That is why they are oppressed. Their witness and martyrdom will be avenged in the last day along with the faithful men and children. The West has embraced the light of the gospel by special or common grace in times past so my sisters have like myself enjoyed its freedom. That is what my 12/9/15 quote was opining to. I must admit I forgot how we are to pray for those in authority. I did that today at work as I walked to my desk. My prayer will be that we will all stand. Even if it means we lose the comforts we have enjoyed and taken for granted. I need to share the gospel more and pray more. Eternity is at stake. That is what matters in the end. Eternity. May we all who post be found in Him and stand with Him on that great day!
UPS, you will remember the "lie" when you see the women and children fall. I will when I am attacked and sold as a slave. The men were too busy with porn, sports, beer, and getting into the women's bathroom. The few that are real men will be overwhelemed. America needs to repent. The men gave away this gift. A gift of a Republic.

You need to open your eyes and take off the tinted glasses that only lets you see the negative. There is plenty negative out there, and because we live in a fallen world it will always be more than the positive, but people have not just been a doormat and accepted it. Google the tens of thousands that yearly march on Washington for pro-life rallies. See the many states trying to restrict abortion "rights". Note the thousands of protest at abortion clinics. As I said, we live in fallen world, we can't expect perfection from a lost world, but it is inaccurate to say that men have not spoken up and have not tried to stop the killing of babies here.
While your marching Terry Schiavo was murdered and 60 million babies. I stand by my statement. I am not expecting any protection when Isis gets started up. I expect the men (majority) to put on dresses like the men in Germany to protest the rape of their women. Google it. The men protested by putting dresses. This is reality. While I and my friends are being attackes men will put on dresses and march. 60M dead babes and Terry S. are
Kj, I live in America like you. The land of mamby pamby men. Children have been butche!rd legally for over 40yrs here and men have not spoken up and stopped it. That is why when these savages get and here and do it they will cower in fear not lnowong what to do. The 50 or so who will fight back will be overwhelmed.
My question is what are the men gonna do when they start doing this on American soil? I shutter to think of it. Maybe prosperity preachers will tell them God has a wonderful plan for their life. Maybe reformed men will have more conferences and blogs about how broken we are and the gospel is the answer. Meanwhile both groups are living comfortable lives drinking expensive coffee and writing books. Not truly telling people from the pulpit to flee from the wrath to come. That God has a day when He will judge the world in righteousness.
Here is the real war on women. Many women said there was no difference btw men and women. When the family is being destroyed because men act like women by not leading, marrying, and raising kids. Women act like men by wanting sex without children and a husband. Now women need to prepare for being eligible for the draft. Another consequence is men in drag claiming to be women and society confirming him as such. He wears makeup, dress, heels, and he does not bare children. Does not bare children. Did y'all get that? Now he can be an all star athlete cause he can beat women. He can now hit a woman and it not be male violence against women. He can excel in the corporate world cause he won't need maternity leave or deal with trying keeping up at work because of menopause. He will have the strength to work longer hours. He will be a star and get honor as a women yet a man. My life as a woman just got worse because of this. May God have mercy.
