A message from Pastor Jerry

When they keep their politics out of our church I might consider keeping our faith out of their politics. No, it won’t happen. Those who object to anything Christian object to any if not all of the moral teachings found in our Bibles. Had the church stood up and boldly stood on the solid ground of our founding fathers our nation would be a much different society today. As we go back through history, including the establishing of Israel, which was and is a theocracy – a form of government in which God or a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler, the God’s or deity’s laws being interpreted by the ecclesiastical authorities. We find historically the place to which God assigned the authority to live by granted to the ecclesiastical authority. However, the church which was once the center of the town according to memorials through the historical buildings throughout the east coast, today we find them silenced today. If any dare stand in opposition to what current society approves of, numerous acts that lead to eternal damnation, they are now censored and reprimanded by some of our courts. It is a silence Jesus attitude and the church seems to not care in many areas. How much are we to take as we see so many of our churches falling inline with society as wanting to be accepted and approved of by those who preach a different gospel?
Appeals court hears argument from California pastor in internet discrimination case.
Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. James 4:17.
All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song This cornerstone, this solid ground.
Paul opens Romans with his clear and understandable remark and loyalty, I am not ashamed of the Gospel. We should not be either. If it were not for courageous individuals, both men and women taking a stand throughout time the depravity of our world would be much worse than it is today. How long must the church take a back seat? We must be vigilant in prayer seeking God’s guidance as to how we can best represent the plans He has for us and warn others the price that will come on the day of judgment. I do not seek to infer that we take an in your face attitude but instead once of Godly concern for anothers welfare. How many parents at this time are willing to allow their minor child receive sex changes, play games with sexual immorality, or those who find it entertaining to watch their young children get excited watching a drag routine being acted out in a school or even a bar where children have no place? Today’s children are not taught about respect toward others even with the language they use. Drugs are again becoming an issue of daring, “go ahead, try it,” while we witness the death and devastation being passed out like candy. If you do not find any of these things demonic I would ask you to find a strong foundational church that teaches of both God’s blessings and His wrath. Do not cross the line of no return, Romans 1:24-25; Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Our world / this should make Christians ask, Who’s in charge? And they loved the creation more then the creator. – Pastor Jerry
Climate and Nature
The Earth is getting hotter, the ice is melting, the oceans are rising, and they’re filling up with plastic. We’re losing species, building up greenhouse gases, and running out of time as climate-related disasters like floods and heatwaves disrupt lives and displace communities. Over 3.5 half billion people are highly vulnerable to climate impact. And yet ‘sustainability’ is now being applied to every area of human activity — energy, food, clothing, travel, cities — you name it. But even if everything was 100% sustainable there’d still be work to do to repair the damage. And how should we accelerate climate action, manage a shift away from fossil fuels and ensure the world doesn’t go hungry in a newly challenging geopolitical and economic environment? This is a critical leadership challenge.

He addresses how relentless the radicals are and he is correct. In the documentary “Agenda” he shows how the radicals of our nation will push their agenda until they have too much resistance. Once they realize it they back off and go away, but only for a bit, when those who resist their movement return home and are looking the other way they push forward again and are usually satisfied with inches, knowing things are usually eroded in small portions. Eventually, they get 70 to 100 percent of their way.
Christians need to remember, everything that stands against God is against God Ephesians 6:12; For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
