Why the Sufficency of Scripture is so Important

Let's go brothers!  Stand for the Word!  Yes!  A quote....

“Marriage between one man and one woman was created and ordained by God, is the only stable union in which women are protected and cared for, in which children are born, reared and nurtured in safety, and upon which the very stability of our society rests. The propaganda spun by moral anarchists who have taught our youth that sex is for entertainment and marital commitment is optional has brought death, chaos, poverty and great harm to our community for decades.

“The hijacking of the civil rights movement by homosexuals, bisexuals and gender-confused people is unacceptable. There is no legitimate comparison between skin color and sexual behavior. In addition, the high cost of achieving racial parity by ours and previous generations demands that we speak out against President Obama’s support for this destructive agenda. Our God requires it, our nation needs it and our people deserve it.

"We will stand in our pulpits, stand in the streets, stand in the chambers of policymaking and stand at the ballot box for those who are for God’s design of marriage and family. We, like Martin Luther in his crucible hour, can only say, ‘Here we stand, we can do no other.’ This fight for marriage, family and the very existence of a moral order has just begun.”

We have a son!!! Thank you Lord Jesus!!!!

This song is very good (thanks Tay4Christo!).  Even if you don't like hip hop, listen carefully to the whole song.....

There is simply too much compromise of God's standards on both sides of the aisle.  Christians should align themselves with Christ and seek to accomplish the Great Commision and the Dominion Mandate (the rule of Christ in all jurisdictions). 

The "lessor of two evils" is still evil.  May the Lord give us wisdom in the days ahead.

This is an excellent article.  Satan is not even trying to hide his plans anymore.  Let's really pray!

With all due respect for the office you hold (1 Peter 2:17),

"Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, (5) and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? (6) So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."  (Mat 19:4-6 ESV)

And also...

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  (Gen 1:27 ESV)

Please understand that...

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.  (Lev 18:22 ESV)

And...

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. (Heb 13:4 ESV)

With respect....

...the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.  For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.  For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.  So they are without excuse.  For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.  Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.  Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.  For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.  And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.  They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness.  They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.  Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.  (Rom 1:18-32 ESV)
 

Did you know that...

...we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
(2Co 5:10 ESV)

Or...

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."  (Rev 21:8 ESV)
 

The Good News is that...

...Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures... (1Co 15:3-4 ESV)
 

So therefore, I urge you...

Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out... (Act 3:19 ESV)

We know that...

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD....! (Psa 33:12 ESV)

But we also know that King...

Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel. The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention.   (2Ch 33:9-10 ESV)
 

May the Lord forgive our sin and heal our land. (2 Chr 7:14)

Amen.

Preached by my friend Scott Brown.  Here is the outline from my personal notes:

---------------------------------

 An Ebenezer is a "stone of remembrance." (1 Sam 7:12)
