Hate Speech

"Our civil rights struggle to engage in protest against the excesses of the gay 'civil rights' movement is about more than the freedom to petition our government for a redress of grievances. It is also about our deeply held religious conviction that expressing opposition to homosexuality is love speech, not 'hate speech.'

The Word of God to Ezekiel (33:8,9) is illustrative: 'If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. But if you warn them to repent and they don't repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.'

So, as one can clearly see—if one simply opens his eyes and his heart—the true Christian views the phrase 'it's OK to be gay' to be a form of hate speech. In the view of those who are true followers of Christ, it is a refrain no more hostile than the suggestion that the homosexual simply 'go to hell.' And, so, I submit that those of us who criticize the excesses of the false gay 'civil rights' struggle are the ones involved in the true civil rights struggle on America's campuses." —Mike Adams

Can divine wisdom become ours???

"Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty...acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours." —J. I. Packer

Let your light so shine

"The path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day."

"Let your light so shine that men may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven."

Jesus said "I am the light of the world."

"For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:"

"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

Set Your Affections on Things Below ?????

"The whole history of the Church is one long story of this tendency to settle down on this earth and to become conformed to this world, to find acceptance and popularity here and to eliminate the element of conflict and of pilgrimage. That is the trend and the tendency of everything. Therefore outwardly, as well as inwardly, pioneering is a costly thing."

"It is a costly and a suffering thing to come up against the religious system that has ' settled down ' here. It is far more costly than coming up against the naked world itself. The religious system can be more ruthless and cruel and bitter; it can be actuated by all those mean things, contemptible things, prejudices and suspicions things that you will not even find in decent people in the world. It is costly to go on to the heavenlies, it is painful; but it is the way of the pioneer, and it has to be settled that that is how it is."

"The Christian life is not by effort, and not by struggle; not merely by trying to put into practice certain maxims, or by trying to attain to a certain measure; but from beginning to end, and all together, it is a matter of knowing the Lord Jesus within."
