The attack on Duck Dynasty is an attack on you

Phil Robertson preaching from the Bible

If you’re bothered by the homosexual activists and the A&E Channel attacking free speech, family values, religious freedom, and Christianity itself, you’re not alone.

For a long time now, SaveCalifornia.com has been educating folks that not only is homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality unnatural, unhealthy, and unbiblical, but that it’s also intolerant and tyrannical, punishing peaceful dissenters.

You see, real tolerance is to disagree with someone on moral or biblical grounds…but to not punish them for disagreeing with you.

This principle of true tolerance emanates from the 1689 Toleration Act allowing freedom of conscience for Christians who disagreed with the Church of England.

But look what’s happened. Homosexual-bisexual-transsexual activists have turned “tolerance” upside down and inside out. Today in our land, homosexual activists and their supporters will punish you unless you agree with them. That’s the very definition of intolerance, and when enforced by law, the very definition of unconstitutional tyranny.

Wake up, America! When you support so-called “gay rights,” you in fact oppose free speech and religious freedom. How many more bakers, photographers, flower shop owners, hotel owners, and property owners have to be victimized by “LGBT” activists and “LGBT” laws? How many more times will moral values be punished before people stop voting for pro-“LGBT” politicians?

Ultimately, you cannot have so-called “gay” rights or “LGBT” rights (which aren’t civil rights at all because it is based on non-biological, changeable behavior) and at the same time maintain religious freedom and free speech in America. They are mutually exclusive.

ACTION: Send an email to A&E Channel at aefeedback@aenetworks.com, and write something like this: In the United States, we are supposed to have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, something A&E has squashed by punishing the personal beliefs of Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty. A&E needs to apologize to Mr. Robertson and keep the show, or I will no longer watch A&E.

Your values were championed on Russian TV

RussianTVaYou’ll be pleased that God’s values for children and families were seen and heard on a leading Russian TV news program.

In November, SaveCalifornia.com and the Sacramento mom we brought to talk to a Russian reporter and cameraman helped educate millions of Russian-speaking people in Eastern Europe, as well as in the United States.

Right now, Russia and other Slavic nations are being intensely targeted by homosexual-bisexual-transsexual activists, who are demanding official approval.

But my evidence-based moral arguments and the reporter’s eye-opening details from San Francisco and Sacramento are convincing Slavic families of the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical “LGBT” threat to children, parental rights, and religious freedom. We’re motivating them to stand and fight, and not back down.

Watch the 13-minute RTR report and read the partial English-to-Russian-to-English transcript below:

Reporter: These brightly colored children’s books are the ABC’s of gay love and non-traditional lifestyles introduced into American schools in the state of California starting from kindergarten age 5.

This illustrated book titled “Daddy’s RussianTVbRoommate” is meant for readers as young as 4-years-old. The story is simple: dad divorces mom and marries a brunette man in a bright Hawaiian shirt. They live together and the book indicates that this is normal. They sleep together, shave together, and here we see the mom who is clearly supporting their relationship.

The children are also taught in their schools about their friends, the transsexuals. How to dress like a man or woman is described here in this book. [reading from book] Ruby was born male, she identifies as female. Ruby sometimes wears her favorite dress and puts on lipstick and eyeshadow.

Randy Thomasson: “They’re trying to normalize what’s not normal. For example, if a boy says that I want to dress like a girl, then governmental American schools will reply that, ‘Oh! This is a good feeling, so we will help you change your clothing.’ But this child is in need of psychological help. More than often, the reason for this psychological disorder is the child was subjected to sexual abuse in his family.”

Nadia Otterstad: “This small minority group is changing all of our laws and this is putting pressure on us — normal traditional families — because we are increasingly losing our rights as parents. We honestly don’t have rights, I would say. Our children will not go to public school. My husband and I want to educate our children at home because that is where we as parents will have control of our children.”

RussianTVcRandy Thomasson: “The LGBTQ activists all say that they are the victims but are in fact victimizing everyone else. For example, here in California, if you own a Christian bookstore, selling religious church books, and a man that is dressed like a woman — a transsexual — applies for a job — if you don’t hire him, you may be subjected to a fine of $150,000. The same also goes for all other businesses.”

Randy Thomasson: “Sexual practices are not civil rights, but a behavior. That is why many African Americans are offended with this — they know what true civil rights are and aren’t. Race is obviously identity, but LBGTQ groups stole this idea of civil rights, they hijacked it.”

TAKE ACTION: Educate others with the truth. Please forward or share this information with your friends today.

What God requires

Wednesday, May 1, 2013, 3:02 pm | Randy Thomasson

2-Chronicles-7-14-web

Daily prayer to God is essential for the soul to be filled, not empty; solid, not confused. I find that when I don’t pray to God each morning, it’s much easier for me to sin that day.

But will God hear your prayers if you’re not truly sorry for your sins? Consider this top Bible verse for the National Day of Prayer, from 2 Chronicles 7:14:

…if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Note how this is a conditional promise from God. For only “if” God’s people follow God’s three requirements will God “then” do three miraculous things in response. What does God require of us?

1. “Humble themselves”: Humility means recognizing our lowly and dependent status before God, and to recognize and confess our sins and guilt before the Creator.

2. “Pray and seek My face”: This is your sincere prayer to your true God. Praying to Him “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24) is how Jesus Christ described true worshipers that the Father seeks. In the context of 2 Chronicles 7:14, this is appealing to the Judge of the Universe, who is offering forgiveness for His People if they fulfill these requirements: a) become humble, b) pray to God in light of His judgment of sin and power to forgive, c) repent of all known sin.

3. “Turn from their wicked ways”: This is the required condition for forgiveness that too many people ignore. “Turn from” means to depart from or abandon. All sinful practices are wicked to God. Fulfilling this condition requires deep humility and fear of God. Turning is an action that proves your attitude. Turning from your sins and turning to God means to replace your desire and practice of sin with a desire for God and His holiness. This hard work requires “putting to death” sinful practices. “For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live” (Romans 8:13).

So when you pray daily or pray to God with others on National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, remember to take personal inventory and intend to repent of all known sin in Jesus’ name. For then God will hear from heaven and forgive your sin.

(if you don’t find a public prayer event online, ask a pastor or friend what’s happening in your community)

“When you spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.”
Isaiah 1:15-16 NKJV
