This is something I as an older person never had to face when a teen in high school. Today is different. To read this article go to https://theiowastandard.com/mom-asks-about-her-daughters-right-to-feel-safe-in-bettendorf-school-bathrooms-when-considering-transgender-policy/
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is opening police departments outside of China, including in New York. These offices are allegedly meant to monitor Chinese citizens living abroad and are the latest chapter in operations from the regime to export its persecutions of dissidents.
Meanwhile, reports on autopsies on people who died after getting COVID-19 vaccines are being withheld from the public by the FDA. And in addition to this, new emails show how the CDC was making false statements about monitoring vaccine safety.’https://www.theepochtimes.com/ccp-opens-police-departments-in-the-us-covid-19-vaccine-autopsy-reports-hidden-from-public_4772360.html?src_src=goodeveningnoe&src_cmp=gv-2022-10-05&est=pUYD4XLZ3qrJWH9wd6iyyYjMJBUEJk9%2FTj%2BIQFh3QrjXGr%2BthPZHaHVBDb23pEfYOA%3D%3D
I recently received these quotes in an email and thought they were worth sharing. Our world is definitely rushing to its end as prophesied in the Word with more hatred each day toward their Creator. If you don’t know the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior take care of that situation today! John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Bill Sunday is quoted saying:
“When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern keep the people asleep.”
“Whenever a day comes when I can stand and preach God’s Word without an agony of anxiety lest the
people will not accept Christ; whenever a day comes when I can see men and women coming down the
aisles without joy in my heart, I’ll quit preaching.”
“The church is not a dormitory for sleepers, it is an institution for workers; it is not a rest camp, it is a
front line trench.”
“One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.”
“Let’s quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.”
“The backslider likes the preaching that wouldn’t hit the side of a house, while the real disciple is delighted when the truth brings him to his knees.”
“The Bible will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand.”
All too many political figures are against what used to be the normal such as marriage between one man and one woman. The Victorian Premier, Dan Andrews, is such a person.
‘Dan Andrews wants you and your views about marriage and life cancelled.
He thinks you are a bigot.
In an extraordinary attack on the pro-life and pro-marriage views of millions of Australians of all faiths and none, the Victorian Premier said these views were “bigotry”.
He was commenting on the appointment of Andrew Thorburn as the Chief Executive Officer of the Essendon Australian Football Club.
Thorburn’s “crime” is that, like millions of Australians, he attends a church that is pro-life and believes that marriage is for heterosexuals.
His church’s views are identical to those of millions of mosque-going Muslims and church-going Christians.
Yet Andrews thinks these Australians are all “bigots”.
“Those views are absolutely appalling. I don’t support those views; that kind of intolerance, that kind of hatred, bigotry is just wrong,” Andrews said.
“All of you know my views on these things. Those sort of attitudes are simply wrong, and to dress that up as anything other than bigotry is just obviously false.”
Andrews and the intolerant left are hell bent on punishing those who do not comply with their social views.
Port Phillips deputy mayor Tim Baxter, a prominent Essendon member, quit the club over the Thorburn’s appointment and urged a wider boycott.
Baxter said Thorburn should not be in a leadership position.
Thorburn is chair of the church, City on a Hill.
The persecution of socially conservative beliefs has escalated since the same-sex marriage debate in 2017 and the change in law, despite promises that there would be tolerance of traditional views.
It appears Thorburn is being discriminated against for his church’s religious beliefs.
Federal Labor under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says it will legislate to protect religious freedom but it is hard to see this happening when senior Labor leaders like Andrews simply dismisses social values based on religion as “bigotry”.’https://familyfirstparty.org.au/pro-life-pro-marriage-you-are-a-bigot-says-dan-andrews%ef%bf%bc/
Many of the states in Australia are moving further and further from the truth given in the Word of God. In fact there is a Satanic hatred toward God and His Word! This hatred is now seen in Christian schools being attacked by the state governments.
One of the problems is that many if not most of these schools accept state funds which puts them in a compromising position.
‘Why do evangelical scholars fail in their efforts to respond to Bart Ehrman? Jeff Riddle offers a lecture on applied apologetics by focusing on Bart Ehrman’s contribution to the field of modern textual criticism…’
Matthew 5:45
“That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”
‘Carbon dioxide is a wonderful gas. It occurs in the atmosphere at an average concentration of 404 parts per million by volume (ppm). Plants need carbon dioxide to grow. This is the principle source from which plants derive the carbon compounds that they require. Green plants use chlorophyll to catalyze a reaction between carbon dioxide and water vapor that produces sugars and also some free oxygen. Greater concentrations of carbon dioxide will cause faster growth in plants. For example, large greenhouses in Britain used to pump in extra carbon dioxide to help tomato plants grow. The optimum concentration of carbon dioxide for plant growth is 2,000 ppm – 5 times greater than normal concentrations. Yet, climate change advocates claim that even the 400 ppm that we have is too high. So the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared that carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
The IPCC has determined that human-generated carbon dioxide – generated by industrial processes – is causing the Earth to get warmer. That there is a continuous increase in global temperature is by no means certain. Nevertheless, 20th century data does indeed suggest a correlation between carbon dioxide concentration and average global temperature. Could this be a case of cause and effect?
Increase in concentration of carbon dioxide actually follows temperature rises rather than the reverse. If there is any cause and effect, it would appear that it is the temperature rises which causes the increase in carbon dioxide – possibly by warmer oceans dissolving less CO2.
Perhaps it is time to celebrate rather than denigrate this strange and wonderful gas.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/good-old-co2/?mc_cid=fce82625d2&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c
YouTube cares so much for you and your health they have a disclaimer on this video. Now, an Islamist can call for murder and never be censored by YouTube but any conservative speaking about Covid or almost anything that “offends the LEFT has a disclaimer or is censored altogether! Oh, freedom of speech for the few!!
