One might ask who is really behind all the removals of historical monuments — and now the attempt to remove all cemetery crosses nationwide. You may be interested to know that Bill Penzy, of Penzy Spices is raising money for this very thing. He’s already raised over a half million dollars for this, and if you doubt my claims, I suggest you check out his “Penzy Spices” Facebook page — if your stomach can handle the sickening anti-American vitriol you will find there.
The expression of our Christian faith in public is also under attack. In Oakland, California, a debate is raging in the comments of a Facebook post that shows a photo of several teenagers praying before their meal in a restaurant prior to attending their high school prom. According to Fox News, Frank Somerville, a journalist at KTVU had been sent the photo by one of the teens’ mothers, and he posted it on his Facebook page. After sharing the photo with his followers, a deluge of negative comments followed, condemning the kids for praying in public, and making derogatory comments about Christians in general.
At the same time, the state of California under the influence of it’s ultra-left-wing governor Jerry Brown, is on the fast track to banning the sale and possession of Bibles — and preaching from the Bible — under Assembly Bill 2943. While this proposal is aimed at prohibiting counseling for people with unwanted homosexual urges, it also has the potential to criminalize whatever the new “progressives” consider “hate speech,” which may very well include God’s Word.
Currently in California, state law prohibits “sexual orientation change efforts” for children under the age of 18, but the new law will prohibit mental health professionals from counseling anyone who has unwanted homosexual urges. And lest you think this is a law only in California, let me clarify: this is also the law of the land in Washington state, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Illinois, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and Washington DC. In addition, countless cities and municipalities have instituted their own laws banning “conversion therapy” — including very recently, the city of Milwaukee.
In other Wisconsin news, a boy, Nikko Nelson, was crowned Prom Queen last month at Homestead High School in the city of Mequon, just north of Milwaukee. Nelson, born a boy, now “identifies” as a girl, and was crowned Prom Queen by his peers. The Prom “King,” by the way, is a biological boy, though he appears in prom photos to be very effeminate.
And also in Wisconsin, two “transgenders” are suing Wisconsin’s health services department for refusing to pay for their sex-change surgeries. Cody Flack and Sara Ann Makenzie say they need surgery to treat their “gender dysphoria.” Both are on Medicaid, a program paid for by the state and federal government, but the program will not pay for their surgeries because they are deemed to be “medically unnecessary.” Without the free coverage, the two cannot afford the procedures. So what do they do? They sue. The lawsuit says Flack has “profound depression and emotional distress” and has had suicidal thoughts because he hasn’t been able to fully transition to a woman, and Mackenzie has been suicidal and “engaged in self-harming behaviors, including cutting in her genital area.” (I guess it’s too bad that mental health therapy is illegal for people in this situation). So now they are suing for free sex change operations — plus damages for mental anguish — and my guess is that they will win the lawsuit.
Back in Orange County, California, it has been decided that parents may not opt their children out of lessons related to gender identity or sexual orientation. Sexual depravity education is also running rampant in Canada with a program known as SOGI, which stands for “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identification. This program is mandatory in public schools across Canada, teaching that homosexuality is normal and gender is “fluid.” Pushed by the LGBT community there, parents are not allowed to opt their kids out of this indoctrination in the public schools which is being pushed on kids even in pre-school.
And where is the church on all this? Just last week, ChristianToday announced that “Most US-based religious groups now back the legalization of same-sex marriage, according to a study released by the Public Religion Research Institute.” According to the study, an average of 61% of professing Christians in America now support sodomite so-called “marriage.” This includes about 67% of all Protestants, and 66% of Catholics.
Meanwhile, the Boy Scouts are no longer the Boy Scouts, just the “Scouts,” and these Scouts now even participate in homosexual “pride” parades, carrying rainbow flags while wearing their Scouting uniforms.
Meanwhile, on YourNewsWire.com, we read that Pope Francis has called for a gun ban in the US, urging authorities to confiscate all weapons, and he has started using Twitter to preach the New World Order doctrine that individuals should not have the right to personallly defend themselves against evil. The news site states, “The Pope’s comments come as Second Amendment experts warn the United Nations is launching their most serious attempt yet to ban all privately owned firearms in the United States and other countries.” Nevermind that there have been nearly 40 people shot in the city of Chicago over the last thirty days — a city with some of the toughest gun restriction laws in the country. Let’s not confuse the “progressives” with the facts.
Also on YourNewsWire.com, it was reported that “Millionaire rapper Eminem has said he feels so ‘embarrassed” being white that it’s driving him to suicide. In his new rap album, Eminem moans that it is really ‘embarrassing’ being a white person and says he thinks about ‘checking out on life’ and killing himself because he ‘can’t escape this circumstance.’” this, my friends, is what our kids are listening to — their “music” of choice — what a role model for our kids to follow! We already know how they emulate their Hollywood heroes. We’ve already heard many on the “progressive left” advocate for the murder of all white people — now these “pied pipers” of “rap’’ and “death metal” “music” are molding our young peoples’ minds to consider doing away with themselves…just because they are whit. I ask you: who are the real racists in America?
Meanwhile, we continue to pay to have Planned Parenthood murder our own children. A study recently released by the Charlotte Lozier Institute concluded that while non-Planned Parenthood abortions reflected a national trend of abortions DEcreasing by 50% from 1995-2014, Planned Parenthood abortions actually increased by a whopping 142% — paid for by you and me through our tax dollars.
Of course, many of you have already heard that ANTIFA, along with the Southern Poverty Law Center was able to shut down free speech at three events in Wisconsin and one in Minnesota where Brannon Howse’s Worldview Weekend organization was scheduled to present Conferences exposing the dangers of the infiltration of Islam in America. To do this, they used threats of violence against the venues where the events were to be held, and the venues cancelled the events with no recourse for Mr. Howse or his organization — or his speakers, who travelled great distances to be there. I am pleased to announce that we will be hosting one of the speakers, Shahram Hadian, for a special seminar at the Wisconsin Christian News Ministry Center in Marshfield, Wisconsin on June 20th. We must push back against those who would silence the truth. Our other option is to hand over the keys to our country and dress our daughters in Burkas. If you think it cannot happen here, just look at Europe — or Canada. We are next, friends, unless we wake from our apathetic stupor now!
All this news is quite troubling, I understand. Many of you are greatly distressed and do not know what to do. You can certainly pray for our nation, and that is something we should all be doing, every day, fervently. Paul told the Thessalonians to “Pray without ceasing.” We should all do that. But that is simply ongoing communication and communion with our Heavenly Father. Obviously, yes, as Christians, we do that! But Jesus ALSO said that we are to “go!” And so go, we must.
Wisconsin Christian Newshas partnered with the Salt and Light Brigade. We have a regional headquarters for the Brigade at our Ministry Center. The Brigade is a group of remnant believers from all over the nation who respond to crisis situations, feed the hungry, preach the gospel on the streets and fight evil wherever it raises it’s head. For example, after Hurricane Harvey, Brigade members first rescued those trapped in their homes, then helped with food, shelter and clothing, then helped clean up the mess — and then they rebuilt homes for 17 families…all at no charge to them!
Now, on June 14, we are having a national Gathering and Deployment of the Salt and Light Brigade near Columbus, Ohio. Our staging area will be a campground, with facilities for up to 500 people. You can camp in a tent, RV or camper, or sleep on the floor in the gymnasium there, or get a hotel nearby. The event will go from June 14-17, and during that time, we will minister the Gospel at a local mosque, at an abortion center, and at the 2nd largest homosexual “pride” parade in the country. Last year there were only 22 of us standing against a half million sexual deviants marching pridefully down Broad Street in Columbus. Among those marching in the parade were at least 40 so-called Christian “churches.”
You may think you could never be involved in such a ministry. You may think it’s too scary, too frightening to speak and share the gospel on the street — especially to those whose worldviews are so diametrically opposed to your own. But having done this many times, I can tell you, God goes before us, and stands with us, and the Holy Spirit speaks through us as we go. And there IS great fruit borne from our efforts. I, personally, was able to have some very meaningful discussions and share the truth with some profoundly lost souls last year. The main thing is that we GO. We really do need ‘All Hands on Deck’ right now. I am hoping for 500 Christians to join us this year. If you would like to come but cannot afford it, the Salt and Light Brigade has scholarships available to help you.
You may be praying for our nation and our world. But may I suggest that this event just may be the answer to your prayers? Jesus told us to GO! We are going. Will you join us? Call me for more information. And please — as Joshua said, “Do not be afraid or dismayed. Be strong and courageous.” Indeed, the Lord will give you the strength and the power to speak; but you do not have to speak. Just your very presence will speak volumes. We need your presence there with us, standing with us, and serving our King. If you don’t do anything else for the Kingdom of God this year, please make plans now to give the Lord four days of your time, and your life will never be the same. You see, we MUST do this, if we are to have any hope for the future of our nation, for our children, and our grandchildren. We simply cannot wait any longer. It’s time NOW for the church to rise up and take back the ground the devil has stolen. Call me for details.
