What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

No news is good news.

When I got on the computer this morning, we have a news website asa homepage. Here are some of the "lead story" excerpts....
'No Name-Calling Week' at Nation's Middle Schools
(CNSNews.com) - This is 'No Name-Calling Week" at some of the nation's middle schools, an event sponsored by a homosexual advocacy group.
I thought this was pathetic enough when I read the title...then I read who was the "think tank" behind such a novel idea and almost lost my breakfast.

Group Fights Proposal to Allow Men in Women's Bathrooms
(CNSNews.com) - An anti-discrimination proposal before the Alameda County (Calif.) Board of Supervisors would allow men to go into women's bathrooms, a conservative group is warning.

Why are we so confused about sexes? Who would even care about such a thing? The grass is not always greener on the other side. Ugh!

'Change Is Possible' Billboards Upset Some Homosexuality Advocates
(CNSNews.com) - Billboards saying that homosexuals can change their orientation have upset homosexual advocacy groups, the Houston Chronicle reported. The billboards -- which have gone up in and around the Houston area -- promote an upcoming "Love Won Out" conference by the Christian group Focus on the Family.

If someone being "upset" is newsworthy...we should have a lot more news these days. Well, the gay people out there are certainly getting what they want...publicity. Being gay is so publicized these days we are becoming numbed by it. It isn't a rarity to hear or see gay people on reality tv shows, on sitcoms, on game shows, on the sidewalk...They even make the news because they are "truly hurt" by the ill-feelings and discrimination shown to them...pretty soon, they will be in our churches and we will make them "upset" by telling them they are acting in sin. Then-the churches will get sued or afraid of losing numbers...and then the church will give into them too-just like it has to women preachers, pedophiles, kids who want contemporary music they can jive to, and the list goes on.

Kinda makes you all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?

No doubt your "church" will sink into the ground because people are not going to tolerate bigotry based on "religion" anymore.

I can tell by your blog that you are not fully into the 21st century, so I wouldn't expect you to understand. And no doubt you'll raise your children to believe that bigotry against others is a "holy" thing. For shame.

And I do enjoy your misinformed view on "feminism." No doubt it never crossed your mind that a feminist can be a stay-at-home mother too.

I was just looking through your archives and found this old post. I love your commentary. What's sad though is what you predicted, about the church accepting gays, has come true. Here in 2010 churches are accepting gay people as leaders and refuse to preach against it for fear of offending them. And we thought Sodom and Gomorah (spelling?) had problems!
