HOW HAVE WE COME TO THIS TRAGIC HOUR?

HEADLINE - MISSOURI COURT forbids a man from marrying the love of his life. The man says "She's gorgeous. She's sweet.  She's loving.  I'm very proud of her...Deep down I'd love to have children with her."  Yet the Court has ruled that for the time being, the law forbids a man from marrying his horse.

HEADLINE - THE 5TH EDITION OF THE DIAGNOSTIC AND STATISTICAL MANUAL OF MENTAL DISORDERS (DSM) distinguishes between Pedophilia and Pedophilic disorder.  It turns out that Pedophilia is a "sexual orientation."  We've heard that before haven't we?  Some are now saying that if adults and children want to engage in recreational sex then their innate orientation should be celebrated.

HEADLINE - THE UNITED STATES SENATE has passed the EMPLOYMENT NON DISCRIMINATION ACT (ENDA).  The Family Research Council explains the implications.  ENDA would prohibit employers from making employment decisions on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.  It provides protections for "sexual orientation" which includes voluntary homosexual conduct, and gender identity referring to the appearance, or mannerisms or other characteristics with or without regard to the individual's designated birth gender.  It would protect those who are transgendered, or who are partially so.  It would protect transvestism, drag queens and drag kings.  

HOW HAVE THE LEADERS AND PEOPLE OF OUR NATION COME TO THIS TRAGIC HOUR?

1.      WE HAVE COME TO THIS TRAGIC HOUR BECAUSE WE REPLACED THE JUDGE ABOVE WITH THE JUDGE DOWNTOWN.

2.     WE HAVE COME TO THIS TRAGIC HOUR BECAUSE WE REJECTED THE BOOK OF BOOKS—THE WISDOM OF GOD, FOR THE FOOLISHNESS OF MEN.

3.     WE HAVE COME TO THIS TRAGIC HOUR BECAUSE WE DECIDED THAT HEDONISM-- CARNAL DESIRE--IS NOT ONLY HARMLESS AND IMMUTABLE (We are born with these desires that can not and should not be changed), BUT IT IS THE LEGITIMATE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF SELF-GOVERNMENT. Liberty and Virtue have been uncoupled.  We have the right to act wrong but no right to define and denounce wrong.

4.     WE HAVE COME TO THIS HOUR BECAUSE WE ARE UNWILLING TO FACE THE TRUTH ABOUT OURSELVES AND REPENT AND RENOUNCE THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL—SO WE ARE TOLERANT OF THE SINS OF OTHERS.  We recognize that with the same measure we judge we will be judged so we say nothing and hope that our sins will not be exposed.  For Example:  Some professing Christians are unwilling to stand with Scripture against same sex-marriage because they have been unfaithful to stand with Christ for life-long marriage. 

THESE ARE DESPERATE DAYS FOR THE NATION, FOR THE CHURCH, AND FOR THIS JUDGEMENT BOUND PEOPLE--BUT A HOLY GHOST DRIVEN "GREAT AWAKENING" WOULD SAVE US.  "HALLELUJAH THINE THE GLORY! REVIVE US AGAIN!"

2 TIMOTHY, Chapter 4

1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
