Common sense prevails this time, but the vigilantes are here...

Read this quote...

"Charges have been dropped against a street preacher who was arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin. After reviewing the evidence, crown prosecutors decided last week to discontinue the prosecution of Dale Mcalpine, as reported by the Christian Institute."

If you read all of this article it becomes clear that this is a case of entrapment. This preacher was approached by 'a passer by' and asked a question to which he rightly responded that homosexuality is a sin. He was then approached by a gay community support officer who took him to the police station where he was detained in a cell for seven hours and charged with causing "harassment, alarm or distress."

Clearly this was a bogus charge. Answering a persons question can never be called harassment. Shouting it from the rooftops maybe, but not in this case.

What I want to know is, just who and what are gay community support officers and who gave them authority to act as policemen. This is very disturbing. Before long they'll be waring black uniforms with swastika like emblems on their arms and carrying army officer type sticks to keep us all in check.

This is the start of vigilantism. The start of public displays of hatred towards Christians. You will NEVER read of them approaching Islamic preachers, or going into Mosques to entrap moslems. This is Christian specific hatred. Christophobia is here!

The end times are upon us. Watch for the coming of the Lord.

Converted?

In church life we have lots of jargon. I remember back in my Bible college days, the guy at the front making us witness to our neighbour without using any jargon. It wasn't easy!

Any way, we have this word converted, and we use it to describe someone who has become a Christian…But is it a good word for such a purpose? Does it accurately describe what has happened? Well, no it doesn't.

You see, the problem is this. Scripture says. "If anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION," not a converted version of the old one. "The old has gone, the new has come." Conversion implies that we have been 'cleaned up', or slightly altered to be made fit for a new purpose. This is not the case at all. The first thing God did when we got saved was to kill us! How else can you be born again if you are already alive…More jargon isn't it!!! See, it's difficult!

The truth is, to be born again, you must surrender your life to Christ. It is an act of submission, total submission. Your will to His will. Your control to His control. You literally surrender your life into His hands so He can do whatever He likes with it. Tough decision to make, but one well worth the effort, because He will do much more with your life than you ever would, or could. He's amazing, and being in His control is a real adventure. I thoroughly recommend it.

So, don't get converted, get killed and born again a new creation. You'll be so glad you did!

Questions...

How much worse off would this country be if more people where active, practising Christians?

Would the crime rate go up or down?

Ladies, would it be less safe to walk the streets at night?

Would our children be in more danger than they are at present?

Would Christian politicians steal tax payers money by fiddling their expenses?

Would there be those appalling scenes of drunkenness in the small hours that we see on TV?

Would the general level of politeness and honesty be lower than it is today?

Would shoplifting increase?

Would vandalism, violence, yob culture and knife crime suddenly get worse?

Would domestic violence increase or decrease?

Would our kids have to face bigger and 'badder' bullies at school, or on their phones?

If you answer these questions with common sense, then you have to ask; Why is the government of this country hell bent on suppressing Christianity? It is the ONE thing that can change this nation for the better.
