Tomorrow. Lord willing,  I will be part of a coalition of pastors and leaders who will challenge  discriminatory and damaging practices of the Southern Poverty Law Center who have allowed unbridled homosexual activism to co-opt an otherwise noble history. The following is a press release about the event. —DL Foster

MONTGOMERY, Alabama – A coalition of African American pastors and pro-family Christian and Jewish leaders is holding a press conference at noon tomorrow (the day after Martin Luther King Day) outside the headquarters of the Southern Poverty Law Center — to protest the SPLC’s smearing of pro-family groups that oppose homosexual activism as “hate groups”:

WHERE:  Outside the SPLC headquarters, 400 Washington Ave., Montgomery, Alabama

WHEN:  Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012, noon, Central Standard (Montgomery, AL) Time

WHO:  Scheduled speakers:

• Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), Chicago, IL ;
• Dr. Patrick Wooden, pastor, Upper Room Church of God in Christ (COGIC), Raleigh, NC;
• Rev. DL Foster, founder, Gay Christian Movement Watch, Atlanta, GA;
• Matt Barber, Director of Cultural Affairs, Liberty Counsel, Lynchburg, VA;
• Tim Johnson, Fredrick Douglass Foundation, Washington, D.C.;
• Rachel Conner, representing Scott Lively’s Abiding Truth Ministries (smeared by SPLC as a “hate group”)
• Pastor Glen Sawyer, New Mt. Zion Church of God in Christ, Elizabeth City, NC
• Pastor Wil Nichols, Victorious Praise Fellowship COGIC, Durham, NC
• Pastor Jon Robinson, Kingdom C.O.M.E. Ministries, Clairton, PA
• Pastor Kenneth Jefferson, Greater Harvest COGIC

The following pro-family leaders and groups will issue supporting statements:

• Rabbi Yehuda Levin, Rabbinical Alliance of America, Brooklyn, NY;
• Laurie Higgins, Illinois Family Institute (smeared as “hate group”)
• Arthur Goldberg, author, “Light in the Closet: Torah, Homosexuality, and the Power to Change,” New Jersey;
• Linda Harvey, Mission America, Columbus, OH
• Brian Camenker, Mass Resistance, Boston, MA (smeared as “hate group”)

Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth, which is sponsoring the press event, recently interviewed Pastor Wooden, who said that the SPLC’s gambit of labeling mainstream pro-family groups that oppose homosexual activism as “hate groups” is seriously damaging the SPLC’s credibility. Wooden also debunked the “civil rights” analogy used by “gay” activists, saying it is wrong to compare “my beautiful blackness” to changeable homosexual perversion.

LaBarbera said the SPLC is engaged in a thinly-veiled, one-sided campaign to demonize adherents of traditional Judeo-Christian morality. He noted that despite the considerable hatred and anti-Christian bigotry emanating from homosexual activists (e.g., Dan Savage’s vile hate-site, Santorum[dot]com), the SPLC has never labeled a “gay” organization or website as “hateful.”

I personally want to express my appreciation for each of you who come to GCM Watch to be informed, educated and equipped on homosexuality issues which challenge the body of Christ. None of us know fully what 2012 holds for us, but we are trusting God who holds both us and 2012 in his hands.  As we continue to lead the way, please continue to follow our ministry endeavors and our polemics through these social media venues:

Its back!  Beginning August 1st, it will be Word Week at GCM Watch. If you really love God’s eternal word, come and join our team of writers for an indepth expository revival in the beauty of our Father’s Word. Prepare your heart  and heighten your expectation with these powerful passages and verses.

In Psalms 107:20 David writes:

He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.

If you need emotional, relational, physical or sexual healing we invite you to join us and let God’s word be the balm that renews your strength.

In Psalms 19:7-9 David writes:

The law of the LORD is perfect,  refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,  making wise the simple.
The precepts of the LORD are right,  giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,  giving light to the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is pure,  enduring forever.
The decrees of the LORD are firm,  and all of them are righteous.

God’s word is more than enough to fill our longings and satisfy our needs. If we sow his word into the lives of others, the fruit will be abundant and rich indeed. The invitation is open!

Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters;  and you who have no money,  come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk  without money and without cost.   Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy? Is 55:1-3

Finally, you can know that what God speaks concerning you is both powerful and potent.

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it
without watering the earth  and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty,  but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Is 55:10-11 (NIV)

Join us as we delight ourselves in his law!

Surprised? Shocked? Upset? You shouldn’t be. The signs have been there all along. The neon evidence glaring to anyone who had even the slightest measure of spiritual discernment. America’s 44th president is casting off his political downlow status and has come out of the closet on gay marriage.

Obama’s short two year tenure in the White House has been marked by a stunning succession of  gay culture worship, meetings, parties, homosexual proclamations, deceptive tactics about his true intentions, multiple appointments of homosexuals in his administrations and the passage of more homosexual rights laws than all his predecessors combined.

In contrast, he has done little to nothing for African Americans who are suffering under staggering unemployment figures, poverty, crime and the loss of their once prominent place as a respected minority. But then again, the perceived savior of black America never really pretended to be black. He just cunningly used black [church support] as a convenient prop while he went about replacing  them with the homosexual community.

With mammon from his chosen people,  SOTUS led the charge to strike down laws that kept our collective sanity in place. He instituted mild anarchy with a wry smile.

His tenure has also presided over a rolling succession of natural disaster phenomenons all across the country (floods, tornadoes, fires, heatwaves, winter storms, etc), each of them breaking all previously set disaster records. Death tolls from these disasters have similarly broken all previous records. But with a teleprompter-induced laugh and a joke, Obama is unfazed as he presses forward to achieve his crowning victory.

Based on his unprecedented affinity for homosexual rights,  the gay community will have in Barack Hussein Obama its ultimate hero: the first openly homosexual president.

Emboldened by the passage of same sex marriage in New York, Obama announced his support to overturn the 15-year-old Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) a law prohibiting federal recognition of same sex marriage. It is also the last line of defense for some 30 plus states that use DOMA as its “states rights” justification for banning same sex marriage.  Hearings on the law that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman are scheduled for this week.

From the Christian Post [source]

President Obama is “proud to support” the Respect for Marriage Act, the White House announced Tuesday.

“The president has long called for a legislative repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, which continues to have a real impact on the lives of real people, our families, friends and neighbors.”

The Department of Justice defended DOMA in federal court for two years before announcing in February that it would no longer assert the constitutionality of the law.

DOMA was passed by both chambers of Congress by huge margins and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996.

Black Christian News Network’s headline screamed today: “President Obama, Who Is a Christian According to His Own Testimony, Takes One Step Closer to Officially Endorsing Same-Sex Marriage, Yet He Acts Flabbergasted that This Country Is Catching So Much Hell from Every Direction”

But Obama is neither a Christian nor is he flabbergasted about the rapidly degenerating state of this nation. He has been one of the architects of its demise.  Like his spiritual father, he uses a form of godliness, a facade of religiousity, generous flatteries,   just enough to appear as an angel of light and a savior to certain segments of the population. He set the stage for his own coming out party and no natural disaster, no death toll, no country on the brink of financial disaster, no overseas war was going to stop him from achieving his goal.

The handwriting was on the wall. It said “The election of Barack Obama is a signal of my judgment upon this nation. You will have the independence from me you desire. And you will bear the burden of his wickedness which reflects the wickedness in your own hearts”

Edward Whelan, who currently serves as president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, testified earlier this year that Obama is knowingly playing political games when it comes to appearing to at first defend DOMA. Whelan expressed doubt that the president who is versed in constitutional law could change his stance on gay marriage 180 degrees because a Massachusetts judge chose to rule in favor of gay couples in two DOMA-related cases.

“This is yet another step in President Obama’s stealth campaign to promote same-sex marriage,” Whelan wrote in a statement to The Christian Post.

Indeed, the closet door has come off at the hinges, and the monster we all knew was lurking in its shadows has emerged.

Types and foreshadows

Don’t be deceived, this is another trial run orchestrated by the spirit of the antichrist which, according to scripture, is currently at work in the earth. Daniel prophetically declared what the end run will look like.  Obama is but one of a long line of antichrist foreshadows who come to precondition the people (with the help of the apostate church) to accept this false image of Christ.

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. Daniel 11:32-35 KJV
