SB 1146 violates the line between secular and sacred

Please pick up the phone right now to defend Christian colleges from homosexual and transsexual activists. For if you don’t act now and “hold the line” against SB 1146, the forces of darkness will come for you next.

The Democrats at the State Capitol don’t like Christian colleges. The Bible offends them. Jesus Christ’s words against adultery, fornication, and lewdness — and the Savior’s definition of marriage as only for one man and one woman – all this offends these politicians.

So the Democrats want to punish Christian colleges by permitting homosexual and transsexual students to go to court and sue these colleges into becoming non-Christian, pro-perversity campuses instead. It’s like turning light into dark, right into wrong, and life into death.

MAKE JUST 3 CALLS

Please take immediate action to save religious freedom. Tell Sacramento, “Maintain separation of Church and State. SB 1146 violates the line between sacred and secular. Please vote no!”

1. Call both your state assemblymember and state senator. Find them here

2. Call Governor Jerry Brown 916-445-2841

Want to do more? (Note: This is updated information as of Monday, June 27 @ 3pm) If you’re within driving distance of Sacramento, come to the Thursday, June 30 hearing on SB 1146 as soon as 11am in Room 444. And if you live in Southern California, rally for religious freedom and against SB 1146 on Wednesday, June 29 at 3:45pm.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Martin Niemöller (1892–1984), prominent pastor imprisoned by German Nazis

Rally_062916_441x240

You’re invited to stand with others in support of God-given and constitutional religious freedom on Wednesday, June 29 in Long Beach, California.

Join others with your moral values to publicly oppose the tyrannical SB 1146, which would permit homosexual and transsexual “students” at religious colleges, universities, bible colleges, and seminaries to file harmful and destructive lawsuits against these religious institutions for “unfair discrimination” — simply for upholding Biblical values and principles on sexual behavior.

If SB 1146 becomes law, say good-bye to man-woman married housing on campus and hello to man-man and woman-woman “married” housing.

If SB 1146 becomes law, say good-bye to female-only dormitories and female-only restrooms, since biological males calling themselves “female” can move in and walk in.

If SB 1146 becomes law, it will be illegal for a Christian college to counsel a student struggling with homosexuality.

If SB 1146 becomes law, Christian colleges cannot get rid of a professor who becomes a homosexual or transsexual activist, indoctrinating students to sin. And the list goes on.

BixbyKnolls3939AtlanticAveThe public protest against SB 1146 is Wednesday, June 29 at 3:45 p.m. at 3939 Atlantic Avenue. This is outside the Long Beach office of SB 1146 author and state Senator Ricardo Lara. Change your schedule and do all you can to be there!

The Greater Los Angeles media will be invited, so please bring yourself, your children and grandchildren, and as many friends as you can to stand up for what’s right in God’s sight this Wednesday, June 29 at 3:45 p.m. in Long Beach.

Bring large signs with easy-to-read message, such as:

  • Hands off our property — NO to SB 1146
  • Keep your hands to yourself, hands off our Christian colleges
  • SB 1146 violates ‘Separation between Church and State’
  • Religious freedom is in the 1st Amendment — Oppose SB 1146
  • SB 1146 unfairly discriminates against Christian colleges
  • SB 1146 is intolerant of Christianity
  • SB 1146 punishes Christianity
  • Oppose intolerance, oppose tyranny, oppose SB 1146
  • SB 1146 discriminates against religious diversity
  • Stealing is wrong — SB 1146 steals from Christian colleges
  • SB 1146 turns Christian colleges into “LGBT” agenda centers
  • Jesus Christ taught against sexual sin in Mark 7:20-23
  • The New Testament teaches against “LGBT”
  • The Bible teaches marriage is only for a man and a woman

“Private universities should not be able to use faith as an excuse to discriminate.”
Democrat state Senator Ricardo Lara, homosexual activist and SB 1146 author

And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
Jesus Christ in Mark 7:20-23

How to build Dad into a hero

Sunday, June 19, 2016, 7:18 am | Randy Thomasson

Let’s face it. Men in America have been dragged down by fatherlessness (no role model), feminism (no respect), and media ridicule (no worth). All these voices say, “I don’t believe in you” — leaving boys and men uninspired, hurt, depressed, and debilitated.

So please — build up Dad on Father’s Day and every day. Whether you’re his wife or children, sincerely tell him, “I appreciate you, I believe in you, and I respect you.” Your encouraging words will boost him inwardly more than any gift or experience!

Wives, read this eye-opening article: Release the hero in your husband

“In Ephesians 5:33,” Eggerichs says, “God invites every married couple to make a conscious decision about how they appear to the other. A wife can feel unloved, but appear disrespectful; a husband can feel disrespected but appear unloving. This is why things get crazy! Our negative appearances work against us. God’s Word protects us from that mistake.” He continues, “Really, all you have to do is learn this crazy cycle, and when you see the spirit of your spouse deflate, trust . . . that you’ve said something that appears unloving or disrespectful. Then go back and say, ‘Did I come across as unloving/disrespectful? I’m sorry, will you forgive me?’ That works almost every time.”
