SOTUS sends signal to military chaplains

You know who Im referring to. Obama wants open homosexuality in the military via the repeal of Dont Ask Dont Tell. Maybe he thinks its good for the economy.  Desperate to give homosexuals a reason to vote for him again in 2012, Obama has discovered a coup de etat he can hand the activists.  With this nation in severe financial trouble, the SOTUS (savior of the US)  finds time to push for open homosexuality among our nation’s servicemen and women. The fallout has already begun with a sharp signal sent …

Two young black males murdered while preaching the gospel

Amidst all of the madness we see and hear in this nation, for a moment we got a glimpse of what a saint is all about. Not the finery of church suits and hats, prosperity and megawatt cathedrals, not the capricious arrogance of the gospel music industry, but the pure beauty of the martyr of the saints. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints (Ps 116:15). I was so touched and empowered by this sacrifice I had to do my small part in honoring …

According to a report by Starpulse, Lord of the Rings star the homosexual activist Ian McKellen is on the record opposing background checks of pedophiles.
Ian McKellen has spoken out against Britain’s new anti-pedophile database, insisting the new scheme will dissuade amateur theaters from casting children. The Lord of the Rings star fears the Vetting and Barring Scheme, which requires any adult working with children to register and submit a background check, will result in limited roles for young performers.
Adults who don’t comply face a fine of up to $8,000 and …

New study: gay couples don’t value monogamy

Please understand the marriage wars are far from over. But new information proves that the oft mocked slippery slope is indeed a very slippery reality. Since the homosexual community has enlisted the gay church as it lackeys to sanctify what God has called abominable, let’s just be sure  we know what they are demanding we be “accepting” of. Lifesite News carried the following out of San Francisco:
In discussing a new study confirming that polygamy is a staple within gay “marriages,” a New York Times article has suggested that doing away with …

75 year old COGIC pastor in KY convicted of rape

It happened almost 25 years ago, but the wheels of justice finally caught up with Prince Wilbert Woolfork of Owensboro, KY.  Even after the rape was reported in 2007, Woolfork had remained an active pastor for a full year in Kentucky First Jurisdiction until his resignation. The Associated Press reported that a grand jury reached the verdict on Jan 30 giving the man a 20 year sentence for first degree rape.
A grand jury has indicted a former western Kentucky preacher on charges that he raped a teenager nearly 25 …

Ugandan Pastors’ letter demands apology from Rick Warren

An interesting development for Rick Warren watchers in the ever devolving saga of Uganda, homosexuality, the church, gay activists, national sovereignty, et al.
Stay with me on this, its a maze but here it is in a nutshell.
Warren, ever the jack in the box, visited Uganda  March 27, 2008 and strongly urged pastors not to tolerate homosexuality in their country. As some point, a bill came to light which is said to criminalize homosexuality with a death penalty attached. Consequently the pastors, led primarily by well known Ugandan evangelist Martin Ssempra …

In Vallejo, CA ’spiritual warfare’ comes to the forefront

The Christian community in Vallejo, California, situated just north of San Francisco on San Pablo Bay, is learning from experience what spiritual warfare looks like when worldviews clash.
The flare up  began in late November when the liberal NY Times published an interview by  gay reporter Kemble Scott (aka Scott James) with the city’s  African American Mayor Osby Davis.  Asked about homosexuality, Davis, a member of the Assemblies of God,  paraphrased a passage from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and in the process predictably  angered some of Vallejo’s homosexual community. Davis was already …

Police, security show up at SNAP press conference

 
Yesterday, the Tennessee Chapter of SNAP (Survivor Network of those Abused by Priests) held a peaceful press conference in front of COGIC’s world headquarters in Memphis. The press conference was called in the wake of a controversial rape case involving a COGIC music minister and a 16 year girl at Greater St. Mark COGIC pastored by Ronald Rolfe.
But the few people that showed up were met with an overwhelming show of force at the bequest of COGIC officials.
David Brown, the chapter’s president and chief spokesman told me that four police …

Commercial Appeal: COGIC minister arrested for rape of 16 year girl *updated*

This story has been updated with additional news. Scroll to the bottom.
Reporting these types of stories brings no joy, but must be done because the COGIC leadership has not gotten the message that sexual abuse and immorality among its clergy is rampant and the foot dragging must stop. When asked about the website we set up to monitor and advocate for victims, Bishop Blake told a Memphis reporter, “Brother Foster has a flavor of the year he usually focuses on. His flavor this year is sexual harassment and sexual …

New Christian declaration causing division

Bible Teacher and Pastor John MacArthur addresses the new sensation among Christians called “The Manhattan Declaration“. The framers of the document say it reaffirms truths about justice and the common good. But is there something else we should be aware of?
We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are: the sanctity of human …
