THE THESIS: When you prep an environment for adults to talk about all forms of sexual activity with children, you will attract adults who want to engage in all forms of sexual behavior with children.

THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: 


Matthew 18:5-7

 

5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

 

Causing to Stumble





6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

 

THE NEWS & COMMENT:

 

I've obtained video from inside Disney's all-hands meeting about the Florida parental rights bill, in which executive producer Latoya Raveneau says her team has implemented a "not-at-all-secret gay agenda" and is regularly "adding queerness" to children's programming.

 

Disney to Remove All Mentions of Traditional Gender Roles at Theme Parks

 

Cursing alert! She’s getting gender reassignment surgery because some of her identities are male. We have a serious mental health crisis in this country.

 

Many aren’t “born this way” but we are “made” to be this way.

 

Cursing alert! Teachers are DESPERATE to talk to little kids about sex. It’s a disorder

 

Libs of Tik Tok @libsoftiktok. This was all in one day. Oregon needs to be shut down until we can figure out what’s going on.

 

How can we fight this as a people of God when our so-called “leaders” are afraid to speak Yahawe’s name into these battles? Look at this, from a supposed Christian academic: Why does the author of this piece put baptize and disciple in quotes? Also, as a professor at one would believe to be a Christian college--”College of the Holy Cross”--how can he seriously ask if making disciples of Christ is important?

 

What is the Great Commission and why is it so controversial? - Mathew Schmalz

Professor of Religious Studies, College of the Holy Cross

 

The Great Commission refers to several passages in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus Christ urges his apostles to make “disciples of all the nations” and “baptize” them. The word “disciple,” which is “mathetes” in Greek, literally means “pupil” but also “follower,” as in “follower of Jesus.” “Baptize” refers to the Christian practice of using water to remove the “original sin,” an inherent fault that Christians believe marks all human beings at birth. Baptism is an important sign of entrance into the Christian faith. The Great Commission, therefore, is usually interpreted to mean spreading the Christian message and converting others to Christianity.

 

. . . Converting others to Christianity raises a fundamental question about whether religious diversity is a reality to be celebrated or an obstacle to be overcome. Given the complex history of missionary activity, the meaning of the Great Commission will continue to be a subject of debate as Christianity confronts a rapidly changing world.

Hi Todd (from Jennifer):

 

This is in response to your podcast about contentment.

 

     Almost 15 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  2 days before my 39th birthday I received the diagnosis and was told that I needed to have a mastectomy of my left breast.  I experienced the fear, sorrow, anger and all the emotions that a woman experiences when she's told she has cancer and will have one of her breasts removed.

 

     But then one day I was talking to a friend of mine at church and I was wondering why this happened to me and she said, "why not?"  "Why do we get to float through life without ever facing adversity or challenges?"  And she was right.  It's through adversity that if we allow him, God reveals himself and works in our lives.

 

     In surrendering to him I felt his grace more than at any other time in my life.  I found myself being thankful for my cancer.  I was blessed because God used me to help other women who were also diagnosed with breast cancer.  I was able to be there to give them hope that they could do more than just survive, they could thrive!  I had the opportunity to visit a woman in the hospital just after she had her mastectomy.  She was in her 20s and was scared to look at her incisions.  After spending some time with her she got up the courage to face her body and come to terms with what she had lost.

 

     The biggest blessing that I have experienced since my cancer diagnosis was when my father in law was diagnosed with stomach cancer.  I was the only one in the family who had experienced cancer so he was able to talk to me in a way that he couldn't with the other family members.  I made a binder for all of his paperwork just like the one I made for myself, I gave him tips that helped get through treatment and I didn't talk to him in a grim manner like most people did.  He got through his treatment and is doing well.

    

 Cancer is certainly something I don't want to experience a second time, but I'm not sorry I got it.  I wouldn't ever want to give up the blessings that I received, and the way that God used me to bless others,  as a result of my diagnosis.

 

     You'll come back from your injury and think of how God can use this to his glory!  That's what I pray for you.

God bless,

Finding contentment. Listening to your podcast right now. You encourage us to ask God to please draw JoeBiden to Him but that's not how some of us pray. After 60 years of walking with the Lord, I've learned to say Thy will be done. Period. Because I've only found true contentment in the center of God's will and although I know we can ask, I also know my request could be wrong. Jesus showed us in Gethsemane how and what to ask for: it's simply His Will - not mine. I go where He leads, whether I'm in a wonderfully surprising place or a dark, sad or lonely place, and once I get past "what are You thinking????" there is a peace that passeth understanding and contentment. He may want an unstable, demented, seriously sinful person leading this nation for such a time as this but only God truly knows the greater good. Surrendering to His will and His will alone makes us part of that goodness I think but it is definitely a path to a contented life. Thank you for your program - it is a blessing.

Hello Todd (not Mr. Herman per your request),

 

I am a loyal listener to your podcast.  As a confession, when hearing your voice instead of Rush (God rest his soul), I tuned out most or all of the time.  Nothing against you or any of the other fill-in hosts, but Rush was the real impetus behind listening to his show.  However, with your podcast having God as the center, I am drawn to it daily.  Thank you for using God's gifts to glorify Him.  Love me some Jesus Christ.

 

Wanted to give you and those behind your show a shout of encouragement to keep fighting the fight.

 

Thank you for including the 365 verses of God telling His believers/needers to not be afraid.  I had heard this many times in the past, but never seen links to all of them.  These verses are a wonderful reminder of our omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent God.

 

I find it interesting to note that in one of the verses God tells us to 'not be afraid', but to also 'be afraid'.

 

Matthew 10:28

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 

 

Don't be afraid of those who are in the world but be afraid of the One who made the world, the One with REAL power and authority.  A sober reminder to those who are not Jesus-needers.

 

As is:  Hebrews 10:31

It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

 

As Jesus-believers/needers, we don't need to be afraid of our Father as we are washed in His Son's blood!

 

If I do not see you on this side of the dirt, I will definitely contact you in our Father's house.

 

God bless you and yours,

 

Dean  - Greensboro, NC
