It isn’t really new news or even surprising news that Obama has come out in favour of same sex marriage but what did surprise me is that some news reporters had the audacity to say Obama was brave in making this statement. BRAVE!? The Leftist media all praised Obama for his courageous “coming out” and condemned Romney for his opposition to same sex marriage. Personally, I believe the BRAVE person is the one who says they do not agree with accepting abortion, same sex marriage and all the other deviant issues and lifestyles that are being promoted to a gullible society!

As most of us who live in Australia know the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is far from being a conservative voice. At http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/txt/s3489812.htm one may view the ABC programme Q & A for Monday 30 April, 2012. The last Question for the programme was “PARLIAMENT PRAYERS – Helen Heath asked: ‘In the 2006 Census, less than two-thirds of Australians identified themselves as Christian. In Dandenong, we celebrate this diversity and at the start of each local council meeting, a prayer is offered by a faith leader from a different religious community on a rotational basis. Is it time for the opening of Commonwealth and State parliaments to be marked by not only the Lord’s Prayer but also prayers from a variety of religious traditions?”’
The ecumenical forget where our nation came from philosophy. The only voice for continuing only with the Lord’s Prayer was federal Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella and she was booed! Where were the anti-bullying police!? Whatyareckon?
At http://www.churchleaders.com/pastors/pastor-articles/156093-rob-bell-s-replacement-speaks-out-on-bell-and-hell.html Rob Bell’s replacement, Shane Hipps, teaching elder at Mars Hill Bible Church responded to those who oppose Bell’s views on hell as enunciated in Bell’s book Love Wins. Hipps said concerning the reality of a hell that he takes “…a position when I know something with certainty. Almost always through direct experience.” Hipps went on to state that “…until I’ve experienced it, this is only something I believe– a possibility.” Hipps walks by sight (experience) so it seems but what does the Scripture saith? Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” John 20:29 “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” 2Co 5:7 “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” Is Hipps one of the blind leading the blind?

Perhaps you receive Daniel Pipes’ emails but if not you should at least visit his web site regularly. Recently he wrote “A Quinnipiac poll in April showed Chris Christie the most popular potential Republican vice-presidential candidate, thanks to his budget cuts and standing up to government employee unions. But the governor of New Jersey has a problem, specifically an Islam problem, in the way of his possible ascent to higher office. We regret to report that, time and again, he has sided with Islamist forces against those safeguarding American security and civilization.” You may read more details on this at http://www.danielpipes.org/11106/chris-christie-islam . The present administration in Washington is a total mess! Hopefully the USA November elections will offer someone who will put their hand to the task of cleaning it up! Is Christie the man?

This isn’t the question of the ages BUT how do others you have never heard of or ever met obtain your email address? Most of these unsolicited emails arriving in my inbox are deleted but some make it to the first read. Such is this one.
“What are you facing today?
What prayer do you want us to pray in agreement with you? Are you sick in body? God heals. Are you poor in spirit? God restores. Are you facing financial hardship? God delivers. How can we pray for you today? What can we confess and decree over you today? CLICK HERE and we’ll personally pray over each and every request.
God bless you and may his Glory shine upon you today!”
Now this came from the web site www.TheSecondAdam.com. After viewing the web site the labels of a religious huckster, charlatan, and shyster just might be applicable! Whatyareckon?
Recently a brochure was received in the post giving an invitation to some preaching meetings that are said to be “refreshing and thought provoking, wholly based on the Bible…” Note the words “wholly based on the Bible”. Well, the brochure listed a web site http://www.prs.lighthousebaptist.com.au/videos-3 which had a “preaching” video from their 2010 meeting. View the video and tell me “Whatyareckon”?
I was visiting some of the internet sites I have bookmarked and at fbcjaxwatchdog.blogspot.com.au I saw the video of a “preacher” riding a camel into the sanctuary of the church. Yes, you read that correct! After the preacher dismounted the camel he soon began his “sermon” on money. Listening for a few moments to this guy I searched for his church web site and came to http://www.fellowshipchurch.com/wild. Here I found a video with this well known, mega-church “preacher”, his wife and their two dogs. You must see this video to believe it. At the end of the video this “preacher” barks. Yes, that is exactly what he does.
Now what is wrong with a “preacher” barking or perhaps I should ask, how did it get to this? Well, years ago I remember a preacher we had who said he would eat fried chicken on the roof of the church if we had so many on a certain Sunday. Well, we did and he did! That church was a “fundamental” independent Baptist church! I wonder, did the “fundamentalists” of those bygone days open it up for a mega-church’s Dog Day Week-end and the “preacher” barking.

Recently I read that the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism’s (ABWE) “Viggo Olsen, who served 33 years overseas as a medical missionary…is a legend in Bangladesh and in missionary circles around the world. The New York Times even compared him to Dr. David Livingstone, the great 19th-century medical missionary and African explorer.” However, all Olsen did in the past so said the article “…may fade in comparison to the work he is doing now. He and his wife, Joan, a distinguished missionary in her own right, are translating the New Testament into Muslim-friendly English.” Note the words “Muslim-friendly” English. How would one translate a “Jewish-friendly” Bible? Think about it, if the Word of God is translated accuratly does the sinner, who has come short of the glory of God, ever see it is a friendly book until he or she is brought to Christ by faith? The Olsen’s Bengali New Testament was printed by the United Bible Societies and followed the NIV translation method of dynamic equivalency and no doubt his new translation will as well. It is also worthy to note that Dr. Olsen served at the same time and in the same hospital, Memorial Christian, as the ABWE pedophile Dr. Donn Ketcham. Whatyareckon?
