We are living in a very sad age.  Who would have thought equality would mean to go against God's Word in America?   When Dr. Martin Luther King was living, we wonder who's side would he be on?  If he was a holy man, he probably would be marching with these 2,500 christian leaders in Chicago who oppose gay marriage, even after he fought for equality for African Americans.

According to BlackChristianNews.com, as many as 2,500 people, waving signs like "Marriage is Sacred" and "Marriage One Man One Woman," crowded into the Statehouse to keep the heat on the Illinois House and to block passage of the Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act, which has been stalled since the spring.

(Black) Christians are in a difficult challenge today and we wonder if Dr. King would join this rally against gay marriage, if he was alive today?   What did equality really mean to Dr. Martin Luther King, did mean going against God's Word to please homosexuals?  If we were to go back in time and ask him, he probably would think we're insane.

Take a look what God can do for you when you are ready to come completely out of homosexuality.  This woman of God, Venus Burton shares how God delivered her from lesbianism.   You will watch the first video before God set her free, then watch and listen to her talk about it on her cousin's radio broadcast.   Saints of God, Jesus is real and He loves people, no matter what.   Jesus Christ died on the cross for people who were gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, drug dealers, drunkards, murderers, rapists, thieves, prostitutes, pimps, madams, He died for them all.  God is so good, beloved sisters and brothers in Christ.

We don't know why this former pastor is complaining that he was fired by his church, it's very wrong to marry gays even if it's legal.   The Bible strictly denounces homosexuality and there is no way to exempt that fact.   Furthermore, the Bible also strictly forewarns that we should never add nor subtract from God's Word. 

According to NBCPhiladelphia.com, the county clerk issued 174 same-sex licenses since July before he was court ordered to stop earlier this month by a Commonwealth Court judge who said Hanes didn't have the power to decide whether Pennsylvania's Defense of Marriage Act is constitutional. The law defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Hanes plans a state Supreme Court appeal. 

 There is a worse punishment coming for Rev. Ken Kline Smeltzer, much worse than getting fired by his former congregation. God is not pleased with his gay affirming behavior or any other pastor who is guilty of it.

Of course, we know we can't interfere with the lifestyle of gay people, but we should have a right to preach against homosexuality.  The Word of God says it's wrong and if people don't want to hear it, they have the freedom to rebel.  However, it's very sad some preachers like Pope Francis think it's judging if the truth is being told, allegedly.

According to CNN.com, the pope's comments don't break with Catholic doctrine or policy, but instead show a shift in approach, moving from censure to engagement.

It's very scary to hear the pope or any other minister defend gays.  There once was a time when many ministers feared God and would publicly denounce all sin, including homosexuality.   We are living an a very evil time.   Saints of God, let us continue to fast and pray.

Pope Francis: Church can't 'interfere' with gays

By Eric Marrapodi and Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editors
(CNN) - Pope Francis said the church has the right to express its opinions but not to "interfere spiritually" in the lives of gays and lesbians, expanding on explosive comments he made in July about not judging homosexuals.

In a wide-ranging interview published Thursday, the pope also said that women must play a...Read full article, here.

When it comes to the Word of God, there is always opposition in this world.  Why?  Because so many millions of people are on their way to eternal hell.  Many souls are so lost, they resent anyone who wants to exercise freedom of religion.  In this case, Brian Johnson had to face his enemy in court over passing out Bibles at a gay parade.

According to ChristianPost.com, from 1998 to 2009, Kellum explained, Johnson gave Bibles away at a booth in the festival, and "never had any problems." But when the organizers decided to question his beliefs, they didn't like what they found. Pressured while applying for a booth, Johnson acknowledged that he considered the act of homosexuality a sin. He did not receive a booth in 2009.

Praise God, the court says Brian Johnson has the right to pass out free Bibles.  May God bless and keep him.

Many of you may think Aaron and Melissa Klein should have kept their bakery open, regardless of being allegedly harassed by gay activists.  However, it's not easy when you do not have the judicial system working on your behalf as a Christian.  These days, we are no longer just oppressed by white supremacists, but mostly by the gay community of all races, allegedly, think about it.     

Why are we allegedly oppressed by mostly the gay community these days?   Simply because the Word of God lets us know, 'we wrestle not against flesh in blood' in Ephesians 6:12 and it has always been this way, even during the Jim Crow movement. 

According toBlackChristianNews.com, on the Sweet Cakes by Melissa Facebook page, the couple said they would continue to operate the business out of their home. It is not immediately clear what effect that will have on the complaint pending against them.  

We are so glad Aaron and Melissa will move forward with their business out of their home, which is what God expects them to do, not to quit. God is so proud of them not giving in to satisfy the world, but they both endured severe persecution for Jesus Christ. In the meantime, we will keep them in our prayers.

We righteous Christians have a battle on her hands dealing with servicing gay couples. Elaine Huguenin cannot even operate her business to please God for a gay couple expecting her to take photos of them.  Saints of God, we are definitely living in the last days.   Therefore, let us unite and pray against this demonic force that has stole our right to "freedom of religion." 

According to BlackChristianNetwork.com, the Supreme Court rejected arguments that the law violated Elaine Huguenin's free exercise of religion. Huguenin, who runs Elane Photography, had refused to do the ceremony in 2006 because it went against her beliefs.
 
How many times have we reminded you, we must govern our land, in order to combat this debate on gay marriages?  We will forever be in combat with the gay community, unless we obey the biblical scripture about taking authority over God's land.

Christian Photographer Who Refused to Shoot a Homosexual Wedding Loses Case

The New Mexico Supreme Court has ruled against a Christian photographer who turned down a job shooting a same-sex wedding because of her religious beliefs.

Saints of God, this issue of getting churches to oppose homosexuality is not just a problem in our nation, but also in some other nations.  Of course, if there are some church people being outspoken about the issue, the Bible must be right and those whom support homosexuality are absolutely wrong.   Therefore, there should be no argument for Jamaican churches to march against homosexuality.

According to BlackChristianNews.com, President of Prayer 2000, Rev Dr Naila L Ricketts, in an invitation circulated to churches last week, said the pending action marked a very serious crossroads in the nation's history.

In the meantime, we will keep Rev. Ricketts and those who are humbly following her organization in our prayers.   We are praying with them against this issue across the world.
