Whichever direction America goes on marriage, those of us who love the Lord and honor His Word will continue to live for Him, preach the gospel, and make disciples. Over and over again we are told that we have lost the culture wars and that it's time for us to throw in the towel and capitulate, especially as the Supreme Court's decision on redefining marriage is about to be announced (or has even been announced by the time you read this article). I'm here to announce that no matter what the Supreme Court says ... no matter what the President says ... no matter what society says ... we are not bowing down to anyone other than the Lord Himself. And with God's help, there's not a shred of a possibility that we will compromise our convictions when it comes to the meaning of marriage. Those who fear man more than God will compromise. Those who have a misguided conception of compassion will compromise. Those who want to save their own reputation will compromise. Those who put so-called cultural sensitivity before sensitivity to the Spirit will compromise. Those who read scripture through the lens of societal norms will compromise. Those who are influenced by friendship with people more than by friendship with the Lord will compromise. But those who love the Lord, who honor His Word, who truly care about what is best for society in the long term and who have already denied themselves and taken up the cross to follow Jesus, those will never compromise. A very sweet woman (a non-religious lesbian) who listens regularly to my radio show posted on Facebook: "I have a feeling that [your] ideas about gay people will die out with your generation." Not a chance. An angry gay man on Facebook shouted at me: "The LGBT is not going anywhere. Christian Fundamentalism lost. BIG TIME! Go crawl back in your troll holes and die." He could not possibly be more wrong (although my commitment is not to Christian fundamentalism but to the living Lord Jesus, my Savior, Master, and King). As noted in Mark Galli's recent article for Christianity Today, "Breaking News: 2 Billion Christians Believe in Traditional Marriage. And So Do We." It could well be that committed believers in America and the West are about to enter a very difficult season, but surely, it will not be comparable to the difficulties already experienced by our persecuted brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. It could well be that we will suffer many setbacks and losses before the tide turns – but as surely as Jesus is Lord, His people will stand tall and push back; and if He does not return in the next few decades, our children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren will look back at these days of sexual anarchy, malleable marriage, and gender blurring with wonder and shock. As conservative political commentator Erick Erickson wrote, "One thing is for sure – a faith that survived its followers being used as torches to light the streets of Rome will survive a modern age hell bent on ruthlessly stamping it out." Political leaders like Mike Huckabee have announced that they will not recognize any ruling by the Supreme Court that redefines marriage, reminding us that, in the past, "These nine, unelected Supreme Court justices have rationalized the destruction of human life, defined African Americans as property and justified Japanese-American internment camps." Pastors like Steve Smothermon have said, "We want to help people, but we are not going to be forced by the government and society or the politically correct to say we are going to believe in it. If they said, 'Listen pastor, we are going to put you in jail if you don't honor this.' I am going to say, 'Then put me in jail.'" The leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention has echoed these sentiments as well, along with a host of other Christian leaders. That's one reason why my new book, due out in September, is titled, Outlasting the Gay Revolution: Where Homosexual Activism Is Really Going and How to Turn the Tide. And that's why the first principle I set forth is, "Never compromise your convictions," while the eighth (and last) principle is, "Be determined to write the last chapter of the story." This how we stand and endure. The bottom line is that, whichever direction America goes, we will continue to live for the Lord, we will continue to pray and worship, and we will continue to preach the gospel and make disciples. And if the Lord doesn't come first, the current storm will pass as well. As the fabled missionary Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) said, even while suffering terribly in a Burmese prison (he endured horrific losses over the course of his ministry in Burma), "The future is as bright as the promises of God." That's why I remain full of optimism, excitement, and confidence. Whatever the world or the devil or sin or people mean for evil, our God will turn it for good as we honor Him, walk in love, and do what is right.

The coercion by the United States government working in tandem with radical leftists to advance the homosexual lifestyle and sexual immorality in every facet of American life has gone wild. As reported by CNSNews, last week Attorney General Loretta Lynch commended the Lambda Legal Foundation, the legal arm of the LGBT movement, for their "great work" and announced that they have the "enthusiastic partnership" of both the Justice Department and the president. Here are AG Lynch's own words... The President of the United States, whose stated campaign goal was to "fundamentally transform the United States of America," now has his Attorney General telling the principle legal group advancing the LGBT movement that together, they will "reshape this country." The words by AG Lynch should deeply concern every person who believes that, left unchecked, Lambda, the DOJ, and the Obama administration will continue to methodically undermine our religious liberties and our rights of conscience. If the High Court wrongly affirms same-sex "marriage," the floodgates will be opened for lawsuits and legislation to label speech criticizing homosexuality as a hate crime - and force participation in the events and ceremonies surrounding this disordered behavior. If the High Court supports same-sex "marriage," the DOJ will be handed a legal billy club with which to beat dissenters into submission. It will expose churches, pastors, ministries, and faith-based organizations to sustained legal attack until we can no longer afford to fight the battles.

As you know, man's laws do not alter or change God's laws; all that we can do is be living testimonies to the truth and go on ahead with our lives.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
God's word says to take them to the edge of town and stone them to death. Now that's God's law. I'm not advocating that we should kill all of the queers however the go along to get along tactic is pretty much like supporting them. If we fund this criminal government we are supporting all of the bullshit this government stands for and implements. Being a half baked Christian will get your goose cooked ! This is not something aimed at you Jim ... this is aimed at 90% of the so-called (lukewarm) Christians that Christ himself said He would spew them from his mouth. It's about time the silent majority _ fucking roared. "Honest, April 15th is the real April Fool's Day". Doug Scheidt
I don't want to get into a rant-athon here but I remember when the fags stayed in their fucking closets. And I don't give a royal rats ass that some of us may have fags for friends ... "BUT" granting these deviates the abilty to thumb their noses at God by claiming to be wed in HOLY MATRIMONY is utter nonsense and the fact that we've been kind towards these abnormal and deviate perverts in the past has got us where we are today. Fags in the St. Patty's Day Parade in their thong underwear. Our kindness has been mistaken for weakness ... and maybe, just maybe we have become too weak to run our own lives and now need Uncle Sambo to tell us what we must acquiesce to. Well fuck Uncle Sambo ! "Honest, April 15th is the real April Fool's Day". Doug Scheidt
Amen, and thanks for venting here. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
This is the exact rhetoric we get from the Clintons and the likes of George C.I.A. Bush, notably after taking office. On the campaign trail their promises are often the things we want most to hear, even with Obongo the first time! (Not that I believed him for a second -- I hated him on sight and get vindicated in 3 new ways every day.) It's treason -- to say you aim to transform or reshape it means you hate it as it is and are not taking office to improve on it. Unless you mean taking it back to its original form before it went communist, which these communists certainly don't. I'd love to know how many of the people who voted for any of the above scum did it because they wanted the country "transformed" and "reshaped", especially the white or educated ones. It's a far cry from voting for Obozo because he's black and yammered about fairness. This guy Brown is actually doing something, that's what sets him apart from others. He's published a book and is promoting it.
Does the display of the gay pride flag, the symbol of hate and bigotry???
======================================================== A U.S. flag is raised alongside a pride flag on the U.S. Embassy a day before the Gay Pride Parade in Tel Aviv, Israel, Thursday, June 12, 2014. (AP / Oded Balilty, File) The United States sent five openly gay ambassadors abroad last year, with a sixth nominee, to Vietnam, now awaiting Senate confirmation. American diplomats are working to support gay rights in countries such as Poland, where prejudice remains deep, and to oppose violence and other abuse in countries like Nigeria and Russia, where gays face life-threatening risks. "It is incredible. I am amazed by what the U.S. is doing to help us," said Mariusz Kurc, the editor of a Polish gay advocacy magazine, Replika, which has received some U.S. funding and other help. "We are used to struggling and not finding any support." Former President George W. Bush supported AIDS prevention efforts globally, but it was the Obama administration that launched the push to make lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights an international issue. The watershed moment came in December 2011, when then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went to the United Nations in Geneva and proclaimed LGBT rights "one of the remaining human rights challenges of our time." http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/obama-flying-the-flag-for-gay-rights-worldwide-1.1890628 U.S. Constitution - Article IV, Section 4: NO BORDERS + NO LAWS = NO COUNTRY
You Sir, are far too kind ... I'm just sick of having weirdo bullshit shoved up my ass by the most vile people in our country.

In other words, it will have 0 affect on your life. --Perfecting Obscurity Since 1958...
Except that they'll continue "having weirdo bullshit shoved up [their asses] by the most vile people in our country" and being otherwise disenfranchised, step by incremental step, till they not only can't choose who to make a cake for or rent rooms to but can't fly, own guns or hold a job. "Those of us who love the Lord and honor His Word" need to include 10 or 20 times more who are striving to "Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate", i.e. in the halls of power. Most are unwilling to hate anything; can there be true love without hating that which would destroy it?
Preach it, NN! 20 years ago I preached that the day was coming when Christians would be unable to work for any of the major corporations. That day is here now. And at the same time Est is doing everything it can to make self-employment as difficult as possible. They want us dead.

Like any other group, they're not monolithic. As an arts person I've known many and none of them have evinced any straight-hate, quite the contrary. The despicable Jue-run lib/pride/militancy movement is another story, and they get all the publicity from the despicable Juesmedia. I guess David and Jonathan should have been dragged to the edge of town and stoned -- "the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." When J died in battle, D wailed "I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women". Sorry I can't always toe the party line on everything. (Or "tow" it as most rightists would write it >;-). All I want is the truth, that's ALL I want......

Be my guest -- it's a free country for 15 minutes longer :-)
From what I can tell, queers overwhelmingly support the liberal agenda that includes advocating laws that prohibit any kind of discrimination against them. Laws that carry fines and prison sentences. So, generally speaking, I'm pretty sure that most of them do hate anyone who believes in the freedom of association. Just how many "straights" that includes, I can't say.
What they really hate is the freedom of non-association. Which is one of my personal favs. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Which is one of my personal favs. Yes! Freedom of non-association! One of my favorites, too. But the brainwashing has been so effective over the last couple of generations, that I find very few people who support that right. Zero democrats, zero republicans, 1 in 600 libertarians, and maybe 1 in 14,000 White Christians.
How are you telling that, S?
Anecdotally, mostly; I don't know that I know any of 'em personally. Some examples: According to several on-line sources, they vote demoncrat 3:1 over republicon. That doesn't mean anything to you or me, I know, but they probably believe that the Ds push their fag-friendly agenda better than the Rs do. Recently a Christian-owned bakery shop -- somewhere out West, I think -- was heavily fined for refusing to a faggot wedding or some such. And I don't recall one single story of a fag group or even a solitary pervert who came out in support of the owners' right to practice their freedom of non- association. LBGT groups are ALWAYS pressuring businesses -- from major manufacturers to restaurant chains -- to be more fag friendly. To hire them, to train all their employees to love and adore them, etc. And again, seemingly no fags protest this coercion with its costly consequences.
I get it -- you mean like most whites just keep clinging to the two-party duopoly that's killing them? Whoa, I guess it's academic in view of your #20, just noticed that.
No, most cannot see further than their over-arching need to have their fagdom recognized, legalized, and honored. I remember their marches years and years ago when their only chant was, "We're queer, we're here." over and over and over again. But today, they're here and they're still queer. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Weirdo bullshit being like an obsession with a flag that symbolizes treason against the United States and the oppression of an entire race of US citizens? --Perfecting Obscurity Since 1958...
many, many, many.... Truth is still truth even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.
You're crazy, but funny!
I'm just trying to keep the conversation lively...in spots...
