These are contemptuous days when speaking out with the Bible. Emotions have been ignited and everyone has an opinion, including pastors. Pastors are called to speak the Word of God even when it is not popular. In Canada, you could end up in jail for speaking out against homosexuality, though homosexuality is an abomination in the Bible. People dislike arguing, unless they have emotional tendencies of enjoying it, and they are tired of politics. When they come to church, all they want to do is hear a comforting Word and return home. The problem is, our world events are birth pangs that have resulted from rebellion in the world, and there is not much to say good about it, except, God is still in control. 

WE as a country are at war,
WE as a country endorse the killing of babies (that is through the courts not by vote)
WE as a country have incorrectly viewed sexual deviant lifestyle choices as a civil liberation rights battle (that is through the courts not by vote)
WE as a country have stripped the government supported union propaganda houses of the public school systems of the powers from the local communities, and from the very text that would solve their rebellion issues, the Bible,
WE (the Christian community) have allowed government to silence the life changing transforming truths of the Bible,
WE have slept through all these issues and more because of an IRS rule instead of standing up for the freedom of speech which is constitutional,
WE have buried our thoughts in the sand and even removed our participation in the public forum because of the greater hostilities expressed to the people of faith.

WE have the constitution to change things, and the Bible the proclaim.

As a tax paying pastor, my voice does not have to remain silent in a day when evil is being called good, and good is being sold for evil. From the pulpit the Word of God will go forth. I refrain from telling someone whom to vote for, but the issues that pertain to faith, to the Bible, to speaking out against sin (is not hate speech by the way but preaching ) instead of ignoring it for sermons about fluff, are not the way I am wired.

As a tax paying pastor ordained by a denomination church, I am mindful of tactful ways to communicate that will not embarrass my leadership. But, I will not remain silent over coffee, in a home, through my phone, on the street, or at my computer.

Marxists, Fascists are the ones that silence public speech when it raises up refutation. We are dangerous proximity to that mode of operation by silencing the Bible. That is why the Pilgrims came, wasn't it?

IF indeed pastors should not be allowed to speak out against issues that pertain to a healthy society, then pastors should not be taxed. Let's be fair about this. The truth is, pastors are taxed, are a part of the society, and if courts are killing babies my public vote can only act against this atrocity of BAAL by NOT voting for candidates that support death in the womb.  I will speak up for these little ones. I will speak of life.

I will speak out against homosexuality as it pertains to the Bible. I will speak to the point where repentance is the result. I will act against the power of the lobbyists who have organized using their cursed money as terrorists against the truth of the Bible and the perversions they support, witness to the abomination that the Bible speaks of.

I will speak out against education that rapes childhood out of the minds of 5 year olds and introduces genital use training, homosexual diversity and acceptance sensitivity training, and more social conditioning secret acts endorsed by Federal sources, as some sort of "protection against child abuse and molestation." I will also seek to correct the editing away of our "Faith history" as part of the heritage of our country, that is being removed from childrens' textbooks.

I will speak out against any and all things that are contrary to the Biblical world view and I will seek to protect and preserve purity and accountability in society. Society goes far beyond church walls. Congregants are tax payers and members of their communities. They pay taxes in and should be informed about how their tax dollars are being spent outwardly in their community.

Churches are used as voting locations... but the Church must remain silent about the truth on the ballots? That is absurd.

Where the Bible speaks, I will speak. Where it is silent, I will trust in the judgment of my congregation to choose that which Jesus would choose if He exercised His vote.
When Jesus did vote? He elected to come to earth and be the witness, to bear the truth which is the Word of God, and to die for the sin of the world which separated mankind from the ways of God. Mankind has proven to be very creative in its rebellion. The Church stands as a place in every community to hold accountable the sins of the world, and the sins of its country, with the truth of the Bible.

When the government begins to silence the pulpit in America, the people of that society will have no accountability. That is a greater danger to mankind than the living Word of God.

California skateboard professional Richard Mulder will be rolling in for two fast and furious days of talk and skateboarding, September 19^th and 20^th  to Zephyrhills. Richard brings his experiences to share at a special free luncheon Friday, September 19^th at 11:30 and will be held at Zephyrhills Wesleyan Church on C Avenue, for educators, police, city officials, parents, youth workers, and interested citizens. Additional guests will discuss "skateboard culture" and issues that are hitting our youth.

             Richard also brings his skills on wheels to help promote safe skateboarding with a workshop and contest at the Zephyrhills skateboard park at Krusen field. There will also be a demonstration by a crew from Fort Lauderdale ramping it up at the park on Saturday the 20^th for the workshop running 9am to 1pm.

            The city of Zephyrhills built the park to provide a safe place for skateboard enthusiasts  to flip and jump in an effort to support the activity and keep the downtown area free from potential hazards.  Freewheeling skaters became a problem after concerns forced the city to mark off a "no skate zone" downtown which cramped the skaters' style. The upcoming events are a combined promotion to build greater awareness for everyone in the community about "skateboard lifestyle" and to promote the safe use of the park.
            "Skateboardists have their needs and the city would like to accommodate them. The city also has liabilities, citizens and properties to protect as well, so this event is designed to help everyone roll with it," a spokesperson said.

            Skateboarding requires the development of highly specialized balance and skills, as well as a high tolerance for pain. The lifestyle of a skateboardist is one the community is learning to understand and grow with, skaters need to understand the liabilities their activity creates for the community, too.  The City of Zephyrhills is sponsoring the event, along with the Zephyrhills Wesley Chapel Ministerial Association, and the Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce.

The storms are brewing in America. The hurricanes are just a sign. Racial unrest, a spirit of rebellion that hates all authority, and an election expose it all. As a Pastor, and a citizen of these United States with the freedom to speak, I shall. The fruit of years of separation from the founding principles established by the architects of our Constitution, are quite obvious. The founding Fathers are turning over in their graves again.

Watching the media of late disqusts me. Where is the objectivity? Where is the truth? Not it the political forum.

So, as a Christian, shall I bury my head and remove myself from the process? Certainly not. I am an American. Reading, praying, getting involved, that is my right as an American.

The consequence of our age can be partially the fault of a self interested sleeping church in America confused about how to participate in the process. Not participating in the process has delivered a country so far away from God it seeks to remove any reference to an authority other than the government.

Can you not read between the lines? Human rights for the unborn have been forgotten, and that will equate to euthanasia for the elderley, the sick, and those less fittest (a.i. Darwin).

Rise Up Biblical Christians in America. See the hypocrisy in the political forum, complain if you will, but at least read the isssues and vote. If you don't, the pillars of faith that was presumed to be the driving Spirit in the land will continue to washed away by another spirit that seeks to own you, as Government.

Rise Up Biblical Christians in America. See the hypocrisy of double standards in practice. Read the issues and vote.

Rise Up Biblical Christians in America. See the media attempt to sell you a candidate while silencing and lamb basting another. Read the issues and vote.

Ezekiel 33 tells it all. Read it. As a citizen of heaven first, as a watchman appointed by God... If you see the sword coming upon the land and you choose not to sound the trumpet, the blood of victims of the land are on you! If you sound the trumpet, and it is ignored, the blood remains upon their own head.

The acts of rebellion to silence truth is very active in our land. Rise up oh Biblical Christian, and read your WORD, Pray, and get involved in the process before your rights are judicated away in some court in the land.

God is counting on you like he did Jeremiah. In Jeremiah's day, they didn't listen. That is my greatest concern.

SO, departing from the political forum as a citizen has blood associated with. May the blood of Christ remind you, empower you, may the Holy Spirit guide you, empower you and gift you with discernment, may the Father of all creation remind you to lead and may your ears hear Him when He calls you to make a REAL CHANGE for America. Real Change happens in prayer on our knees.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves..." That is the first choice.
