THE FUTURE OF AMERICA IS INSEPARABLY LINKED TO THE CHURCH IN AMERICA.

MEANWHILE AMERICAN EVANGELCIALISM HAS LOST IT’S WAY AFTER DECADES OF FOLLOWING POOR AND SUBVERSIVE LEADERSHIP WHO “TRAFFIC” IN THE FAITH OF OTHERS.

Rev Thomas Littleton

7/24/2021

Whether or not America represents Paradise to the reader of this article may be up for debate. Yet America has always represented something very unique to millions of people around the world. America has provided opportunity and freedom from religious persecution and oppressive regimes for almost 250 years. America has offered hope to many seeking refuge and a new life. But America is under siege from within and the Paradise it has represented to millions of refugees IS being lost to a manufactured “Refugee crisis” backed by open society money and fronted by faith based hustlers who traffic in the faith of those who heed it’s sirens call to serve modern day human migration efforts and “refugee resettlement”.

Today, instead of offering escape and refuge for the oppressed peoples of the world , American progressivism has perverted the vision for refugees into becoming an opportunity for globalist /open societies deconstructionist of national borders and the sovereignty of America and Europe. The agenda doubtless will lead to a new type of tyranny practiced , planned and executed by a global cabal made up of a club of corporate billionaires, governmental puppets and preaching grand deception of a civil society based on common ground for the common good i.e. global socialism. THE big shock for many here in this scheme to take down nations and establish their twisted global goals for global citizens is a sick, emaciated and blind evangelical Church. No other entity can provide a more seductive and dishonest vision than the false prophets and the thriving partnership of a false church. Nothing is a greater threat to humanity, to freedom in the world, to the dereliction of truth and wisdom and than the church which has become a whore to the Babylonian influences of globalist.

The greatest danger for true refugees in the world is engineered mass human migration marketed on the backs of Christian compassion and aimed at teaming hoards strategically placed humans who are themselves being trafficked into play by governments and agencies to alter the face of America and religious freedom forever.

This article is to provide both proof and limited commentary on the “State of the Church” in America. In many ways both are crumbling and the seduction of the church is the primary cause of it. The Church in America is no longer standing in contrast to the culture or serving as salt and light within it. We have lost our Christian press and our institutions to progressives. Our ability to speak truth to power like Paul before Agrippa or Festus of Felix has been eclipsed by fear and appeasement while the backbone of our pulpits have given way to wishbones for popularity and expanding the growth of it’s brand.

At the end of this article we will look a JUST ONE MINISTRY as a PRIME EXAMPLE of how greed, self interest, progressive politics and globalist goals compliance have made World Vision (and those who work with it) an enemy to Freedom, to America, to the Gospel and to GOD. Sadly there are hundreds if not thousands of examples but a revealing Christianity Today article July 20 2021 inadvertently exposes much of the motivation, the history, the politics and grand scheme of ministries in the RED LIGHT DISTRICT of a global AMSTERDAM of vision casting and greed.

This is the kind of seductive error Jesus and His angels visited Patmos to warn John and the church about through the ages. The church is called to watch for and reject these errors and false teachers or else lose their place among the true church. Much is at stake in this dance of fools and international faith trafficking. World Relief and others are currently posturing for compliance as all who wish to bed down the church for money MUST do.

NO MORE DOES THE CROSS GO BEFORE US

Of late the church has come to behave like professional sports teams with Native American mascots as we seek to dump and distance ourselves from the CROSS and the SHAME, REPROACH, AND OFFENSE it brings with it. No longer does the ancient symbol of Jesus love and sacrifice represent Christians who are more concerned with alienating the culture than preaching a Gospel which confronts sin, calls for repentance and offers transforming hearts and saving souls via the timeless message of the Cross.

The clouds of political rhetoric and talking points of manipulative think tanks blur their vision of both time and eternity. American Christians have become ashamed of the wrong things while they march in the pride parades of the wicked. They are allowing deceivers to make them ashamed of their nation and the freedoms for their own faith to thrive and grow. All the while the vision of ministry is being reimagined and recast as social justice driven schemes like refugee care, community development, and mere humanitarian aid.

AGAIN- Was America ever PARADISE? Well for some that is a stretch but for almost 2 1/2 centuries it has been the closest thing to it to have existed on earth. But PARADISE IS ALWAYS LOST at some points because of those entrusted to preserve it. In our case that job fell to the pulpits whose presence and devotion to the true Gospel is needed to maintain the fragile similitude of freedom by steadily calling the nation to it’s knees in both in times of crisis and in times of plenty. It has been a LONG TIME since a pulpit in America called its nation to repentance. Paradise is in the eyes (and hearts) of the beholder. The only way America could have any hope to offer anyone would be if it held to the core protections of the ministry of true freedom of the soul found only in the Gospel.

CIVILITY AND PRINCIPLED PLURALISM VS CHRISITAN NATIONALISM

Suddenly a few years ago the coordinated messaging from “preachers” like Tim Keller and Jonathan Leeman and a complicit Christian fake news media replaced patriotism with pointing long fingers and making accusations like “Christian Nationalism” is “killing the church”. Few noticed the back room training these same men have had with Frankfurt School think tanks like IASC and Fabian Socialist London School of Economics. Their crafted rhetoric has prevailed among many. It is now fashionable to be anti American as a Christian while hoards of persecuted believers around the world seek the freedoms we are now despising and throwing away. Soon we will ALL watch those freedoms become vapor.

The only kind of Prophets welcomed in many circles are the false prophets of Baal whose image now resides in the temples of “cultural engagement” and “human flourishing”. Globalism and its finely tuned anti-christ false gospel are now successfully calling Christians to offer the Gospel up in exchange for Community Service and Community Development on a global scale. Meanwhile foreign entities have come in like Antiochus IV (Epiphanes), the king of Syria and are offering the swine of Global Goals upon our alters in defilement of all that is obtained by the Cross. In this the Church has exchanged the truth of God for a lie and the hope and power of the empty tomb for the empty promises of the doomed and damned.

IS THE AMERICAN DREAM TRUE OF FALSE?

For generations of those seeking true freedom and a better life for their families America has been the land of Dreams. It is true to say many have used the idea of an “American Dream” to promote and pursue fulfillment of greed and pleasure in the name of freedom. It can also be accurately said that the American Dream has produced success stories which have birthed some of the greatest philanthropy and altruism any generation has even known. But in doing so has made itself a target of globalist who want to “harness” the power of philanthropy for it’s own purposes.

PREACHERS ARE TO BLAME

It has been well said that “as the Church goes so goes the world around it”. It can also be said “as the pulpits corrupt the church falters and blindness , hardness of hearts, and delusion set in like rigor mortis once the vision is lost.”.

America has a Gospel history. That is not to assert that America was ever a “Christian Nation” but it a nation influenced by the Gospel and for many generations it’s culture was both impacted and held to some degree accountable to it. There are many in the pulpits today who bemoan America and the Churches decline over the last decades but few who are willing to admit that the decline happened on their watch.

WORLD RELIEF

A PRIME EXAMPLE OF ALLOWING THE ENGINEERED LOSS OF PARADISE WHILE TRAFFICKING IN HUMAN FAITH AS A COMMODITY.

World Relief is the “Humanitarian arm” of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE). The fact NAE is hardly a pristine organization can be confirmed by the fact that leaders have included people like disgraced homosexual Ted Haggard and Leith Anderson who played a key role in the grand seduction of thousands of pastors via Leadership Network founding in 1984 and 40 years of stealth influence and media manipulation.

ORGANIZATIONS EXPLOITING CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS ARE ENGAGING IN A PARTICULAR TYPE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

Transferring the concept of exploitation involved in human trafficking and sex trafficking a fitting definition of TRAFFICKING Christians faith to be exploited by globalist could read this way:

(From Homeland Security definition of human and sex trafficking with only the word “faith” substituted in as the group identified as being exploited.)

“Faith trafficking is one of the most heinous forms of modern slavery. This form of human trafficking occurs when people enslave other people for the purpose of faith based exploitation. Faith trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial faith act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use deception, manipulation, or false promises of well-paying jobs or faith based relationships to lure victims into trafficking situations.”

“Traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to lure their victims and force them into labor or commercial exploitation.”

AN UNFAIR CHARATERIZATION? HARDLY. FAITH BASED DECEIVERS ARE TRAFFICKING IN RECRUITING HUMAN VOLUNTEERS TO MAN THEIR SCHEMES AND PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS WITH GLOBALIST.

The deception begins with marketing a ministry vision where true spiritual ministry is forbidden as Faith Based Partnerships do not allow ANY EXPLIXCITLY RELIGIOUS ACTIVIST ,ESPCIALLY CHRISTIAN EVANGELISM, Bible study, worship, proselytizing, or even prayer. So the vision of partnering with global goals entities ,when being sold as Gospel ministry, is fraudulent at the very core. Those selling such assertions are committing fraud when the Gospel is strictly forbidden from the programs. Christians should ALREADY know that government agencies and global organizations are not going to pay them to evangelize and do the work of the Gospel. Constitutionally they CANNOT use public funds to aid in the Establishment of any particular faith. Interfaith humanitarian aid is the only possible -legal middle ground in such efforts. Is this a place for the church to be seeking to “Thrive”? If it is then it must leave the Gospel behind.

HIGHER AND GRANDER SCHEMES

Recently a member of the United States Conference of Bishops was reported to have said that Americans need to “share their wealth” with immigrants and refugees. In such a case, well beyond the exploitation of free labor in the form of volunteers, FAITH traffickers are also luring their victims in for wealth redistribution in the NOT TOO DISTANT future.

AN EVEN GREATER OFFENSE -PROMOTING A DEADLY RIVAL FAITH ON AMERICAN SHORES.

Baptist and other faith leaders have been advocating for the protection of Religious Liberty for Muslims as the refugee numbers surged. False narratives like “God is bringing the people of Islamic nations to America for the Gospel instead of us having to go to them”. Also the push of false assertions that “Islam is pro religious liberty ” or that “Sharia and the U S Constitution are compatible “. continue to be marketed far and wide among evangelicals. These talking points are false and deceptive and dangerous.

PROMOTING REUGEES AND ISLAMIC PROLIFIRATION IN AMERICA AS MINISTRY

World Relief is big in the Refugee Business.

it serves as the go to evangelical partner and recruiter of evangelicals for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops into the vision of “Refugee Resettlement”, World Relief lobbied against the Trump era ban on Muslim migration.

World Relief Sponsors Side Event to Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom to Urge the Restoration of the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program as an Essential Part of a Robust International Religious Freedom Agenda

BALTIMORE, Md. – “Today, World Relief, HIAS, The Episcopal Church, the National Association of Evangelicals and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops/Migration and Refugee Services (USCCB/MRS) cosponsored an official congressional briefing as a side event to the State Department’s Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom. These organizations, plus panelists including representatives from the Free Yezidi Foundation, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), and a Liberian refugee and pastor, called U.S. leadership to increase the number of refugees accepted in the U.S. as well as to continue robust refugee funding. While expressing gratitude to Secretary of State Pompeo for his commitment to pursue an international religious freedom agenda, the groups urged that having a robust refugee resettlement program can bolster the success of that mission.”

MOTIVES EXPOSED BY CHRISTIANITY TODAY

Christianity Today in its recent article /INTERVIEW celebrating the new World Relief President and CEO and the Biden policies shifts on immigration did a huge reveal of the motivations and end game of World Relief’s political activities. As part of the scheme World Vision has a new President and a new program pushing the false “justice and equity” gospel.

WORLD RELIEF IS A LEADING VOLAG

 Volag or VolAg, is an abbreviation for “Voluntary Agency

According to the Center for Immigration Studies in 2018 :

“Inside the United States, nine non-governmental organizations work with, and are funded by, the Department of State to resettle refugees. These religious or community-based organizations referred to as voluntary agencies (or volags) help resettled refugees with the following: reception upon arrival; support with housing, food, and clothing; community orientation;”

(By 2018) The nine volags are:

Church World Service (CWS) (religious)

Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) (religious)

Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC)

Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) (religious)

International Rescue Committee (IRC)

Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS) (religious)

U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) (religious)

World Relief Corporation (WR) (religious)

The report covers the 2015 grant dollars and other matching support of World Vision for Refugee Care. $50 million in one year was not bad pay for Faith Trafficking Christians and the church.

• These volags are funded, for the most part, by the U.S. government. Government funding ranges from a low of 58.5 percent  to a high of 97.3 percent. (Some services provided, and government funds received, by these organizations may be non-refugee-related.)
• Yearly compensations for the heads of these organizations range from a low of $132,000 to a high of $671,749.

Contributions and Grants: $66,262,886

Government Grants: $46,776,420 (70.6 percent)

After Challenging Season, World Relief Names New President

“Myal Greene is optimistic about resuming robust refugee resettlement programs under the Biden administration.” INTERVIEW BY STEFANI MCDADE|JULY 20, 2021

THE ANTI TRUMP MOTIVATIONS OF WORLD RELIEF AND ITS PARTNERS LIKE RUSSELL MOORE

” In the past few months, World Relief began ramping up their resources and rebuilding infrastructure under President Biden. Ministry leaders were also among the advocates holding the Biden administration accountable to his promise to raise the refugee ceiling after the move was delayed by months.

WORLD RELIEF IS ELATED WITH BIDEN ADMIN POLICY

“World Relief had shut down eight of its 27 national offices due to yearly cuts in refugee admissions and resettlement funding under the Trump administration’s restrictive policies.”… ” We believe there’s going to be strong support for refugee resettlement from the Biden administration. We’ve learned that they were open to listening to the opinions of stakeholders and we’re really encouraged by their responsiveness, their concern and the seriousness with which they’re taking these issues. We’re encouraged by the ceiling raising to 62,500 for this fiscal year, and we’re optimistic that the ceiling will be raised to 125,000 next year. We’re excited about that. And while this comes with a need for resourcing and organizational capacity building after years of reduced numbers, we know there are many churches and community organizations eager to participate in the process and ready to respond to the opportunity to welcome more refugees into this country.”

NEVER MIND THE SLAUGHTER OF THE UNBORN”

The Biden administration, like the Obama administration before it and the Hillary Campaign of 2016 deep devotion to Planned Parenthood and the international KILLING FIELDS of global abortion have not deterred World Relief and others from supporting and partnering with globalist.

WE BE PARTNERS YALL- NEVER MIND THE SMELL

“Our work overseas is quite robust and dates back to the origins of our organization. We have three major areas of emphasis: The first is humanitarian or emergency response, which is serving people in refugee camps or internally displaced people (IDP) camps, and those returning to their home community—so there’s a lot of synergy and connectedness to the work that we do in the US. The second area of our work is in community and public health, where we’ve found great support from donors and collaboration with USAID and UNICEF. And then the third is a church-based community development initiative, an integrated model where we engage churches in meeting the needs of their neighbors—from economic and social to strengthening marriages and working with children.”

COMPLIANCE PROGRAM FOR EQUITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

“Earlier this year, Greene was also involved in a large-scale initiative at World Relief called Forward Together, which developed a strategic plan to increase a focus on fostering greater diversity, equity and inclusion within the organization and across its programs.”

Equation is simple- more compliance = more grant funding.

World Relief according to some sources has already profited some $300 million from bedding down with globalist.

MOTIVES ? THE WORST POSSIBLE $$$$$ JUST FILTHY LUCRE

Both here and abroad, a key feature of World Relief’s humanitarian work is its reliance on partnerships with local churches and ministries in addition to public or government grants.

THE PLANS TO SEDUCE THE CHURCH

“Since 1944, the Christian nonprofit has focused on engaging with church networks to raise support, advocate, and mobilize volunteers to join their mission.”

BACK IN BUSINESS

“We felt very strongly at that time that we wanted to be able to increase the number of resettlement sites that we operated in. And going forward, we see that as a very healthy way to conduct this work—to have more opportunities and locations for resettlement to take place. An increased number of resettlement cases really necessitates a larger footprint. As far as the dream vision, I would say we want to be at a place where we’re able to meet and respond to our full share of those being resettled among the other implementing partners. This means we’re looking at a variety of options to rapidly increase our scale, consider partnership opportunities, as well as open new offices or reopen locations that have previously been closed.”

THE PLANS TO PUSH HUMAN MIGRATION ESPEPCIALLY ISLAM “REFUGEES” EXPANDED TO INCLUDE “COMMUNITY ACTIVIST”.

“The season of ministry where we were less engaged in refugee resettlement allowed us to focus on working with churches and other community activists to offer broader services to the larger immigrant community, not just refugees—to consider how we engage local churches in being part of an environment of welcome for immigrants of all backgrounds. We think about advocacy in terms of relationship to public policy and to public opinion, and what we’ve learned is there are a lot of different messages in churches across the country. So as this has become a very polarizing issue, we see the role World Relief can play in advocating on behalf of immigrants and refugees to churches and faith communities.”

COVID FUNDING ABOUNDS SO WORLD RELIEF IS THERE FOR THE PANDEMIC INDUSTRY.

“Beyond resettling refugees domestically, World Relief also runs a number of international initiatives which continue to serve vulnerable populations in underserved countries in the midst of the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. In his previous role as senior vice president of international programs, Greene increased their funding and more than doubled their global reach in the past two years.”

TRINTY FORUM AND THE SOROS FUNDED NATIONAL IMMIGRATION TABLE- A FAVORITE TRAFFICKING STOP FOR WORLD VISION.

Evening Conversation | “Love Thy Neighbor” in a Globalized World, with Michael Gerson and Stephan Bauman

“May 23, 2016 / contentsupport2 / Trinity Forum Evening Conversation with Michael Gerson and Stephan Bauman This is the full, unedited version of the Trinity Forum Evening Conversation with Michael Gerson and Stephan Bauman. In our first event in our five-part Evening Conversation series on faith and international development, Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson and World Relief President Stephan Bauman discussed”

TRINITY FORUM /WORLD RELIEF PARTERING ORGANIZATIONS HAVE INCLUDED SOUTHERN BAPTIST

(From Capstone Report article November 2020)

“Earlier this year, Baptist Standard ran an article disputing “rumors” that Russell Moore received funding from Soros’ foundations. Dr. Moore and the ERLC have found themselves in the crosshairs of Soros-related debates because of Moore’s active involvement with the EIT. A document from November 13, 2012, addressed to President Obama clearly lists the ERLC alongside nine other groups as the groups comprising the EIT: World Relief Corporation, Sojourners, Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, Bread for the World, Liberty Counsel, National Association of Evangelicals, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, National Latino Evangelical Coalition, World Vision, and G92.”

“In 2013, spokespeople for the EIT had already admitted to Breitbart News that their group “does not exist as its own non-profit” and “sought a neutral third-party institution, the NIF, to help facilitate our work.” Despite the strenuous denials that Mr. Soros’ money was involved, it is clear that the “facilitation” of the EIT depends on a structure financed by Mr. Soros, the NIF. Any doubt of separation between the initiatives now hold no weight since Dr. Moore is prominently listed as a speaker for the 2020 convention of the NIF and has his own webpage on the NIF website.”

NOTE: documents confirming over $2.5 million in Open Borders Society funding went into the establishment of the NIF and the faith trafficking bed fellows has been presented by this and many other publications including Captstone Report.

WORLD RELIEF AND LEADING EVANGELICALS WHO DROVE THE ANTI-TUMP NARRATIVE FOR 6 YEARS HAVE A A SELF SERVING CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO SAY THE LEAST.

It is clear that Christians are growing tired of being “pimped out” by these kinds of leaders and averse to being shamed for their political convictions , “White Nationalism”- “White Privilege ” and “Fragility.This often happens even when they are people of color with the wrong political alignment. So good news may be on the horizon.

The Christianity Today interview confirms in total what many like this author have been warning about for a decade. Key players are “Trafficking the FAITH of American believers in the global marketplace of VOLAGS and NGO’s and to those in secular government and foundations who hate them, their faith and their nation of origin. Their motives look to be pretty simple and easy to discern. The Government and large global goals Foundations will pay them well for the Souls they lure in.

If this is not the case then World Relief and others should step up to public forums and explain ALL of the fault lines, false narratives and gospel hinderances and be honest abut their full motivation providing notes from all backroom meetings and policy agreements inspiring initiatives like “Forward Together” for more ” equity, diversity and inclusion”. World Relief and other agencies need to stop preying on our faith AND on our College age Children in our Christian Institutions .They need to be accountable for full disclosure about all funding, sources and the restriction of Gospel ministry AND forced compliance to progressive compromise to which they have signed on. They also need to explain their rationale behind promoting Islamic proliferation in America. Western Europe is a stark reminder of how failed this policy is and, from any Biblical perspective, how anti American and anti Gospel the end game is.

CHRISTIAN VOLAGS COME CLEAN – HOW MUCH OPEN SOCIETIES AND OTHER AGENDA DRIVEN DOLLARS HAVE YOU TAKEN?

A RAY OF HOPE : IS GOD SWEEPING THE HOUSE?

Has God had enough? Is Jesus once again driving the moneychangers from His house?

DECEPTION RISING IS IN ITSELF PART OF THE HOPE OF REDEMPTION TO COME.

Revelation 13 :

The Beast from the Earth

¹¹ Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. ¹² And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. ¹³ He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. ¹⁵ He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.”

Revelation 22:

The Time Is Near

⁶ Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the ^[b]holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

⁷ “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

⁸ Now I, John, ^[c]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

⁹ Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. ^[d]For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” ¹⁰ And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. ¹¹ He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him ^[e]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

Jesus Testifies to the Churches

¹² “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the ^[f]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

¹⁴ Blessed are those who ^[g]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. ^15 [h]But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

¹⁶ “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

A Warning

^18 [i]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, ^[j]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; ¹⁹ and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God^[k] shall take away his part from the ^[l]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I Am Coming Quickly

²⁰ He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Feminism is rising in conservative Christian circles (again) so can Seminaries build bridges without creating platforms for feminist and lesbians?

Rev Thomas Littleton

7/20/2021

Beeson Seminary which is on the campus of Samford University in Birmingham Al. recently announced a new “Center for Women in Ministry” and held the inaugural conference event in June 2021. It is both curious and concerning that the timing of the launch comes when feminism is clearly rising on the back of intersectionality in the SBC , PCA and other conservative denominations. Timothy George helped found and lead the non denominational seminary since 1984. Yes the seminary is non denominational but it is located on the Campus of Samford University whose founding was as a Southern Baptist school.

(NOTE Samford’s final ties with SBC funding were severed in recent years when Samford faculty approved an LGBTQ activist organization on campus .More on that in a later update.)

Beeson does still have a significant impact on Baptist and other conservative Christian community when churches hire pastors or staff trained at the institution. So should conservative churches who hire graduates of Beeson be concerned about the Center? Yes and for several reasons given some of those involved as well as the stated mission of George in bringing egalitarians and communitarians together in a “New E&C Together ” focus at the crossroads of a culture steeped in Intersectionality.

Timothy George has long been an advocate for common ground in his “A Modest Proposal”. This goes back at least to 2005 in a Christianity Today article

A Modest Proposal

Nine tasks egalitarians and complementarians can pursue.BY TIMOTHY GEORGE|

A QUICK LOOK AT THE NEW CENTER

https://www.beesondivinity.com/women-in-ministry

FROM THE WEBSITE

“The Center for Women in Ministry at Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School exists to encourage and equip women called to Christian ministry and to serve as a resource for the Church of Jesus Christ for the edification of the Church and for the thriving of women in ministry.”

“The Center for Women in Ministry partners with programs and colleagues across the Samford campus, including: Beeson’s Women’s Theological Colloquium, Beeson Alumni Association, Beeson’s Thriving Pastors Initiative, Beeson’s Robert Smith Jr. Preaching Institute, Beeson’s Student Government Association and Minority Student Fellowship, Samford’s Biblical and Religious Studies department, Samford’s Christian Ministry program, Samford’s Center for Worship and the Arts, and many others.”

“The Center for Women in Ministry at Beeson holds to the commitments of Beeson Divinity School and to the two beliefs that God calls women to Christian ministry and the Church needs God-called, theologically trained women in ministry. This Center does not advocate for a complementarian or egalitarian theological position as such, but rather assists all women in evangelical, Protestant churches (whether complementarian or egalitarian) for the sake of the flourishing of women in ministry.”

THE LARGER CONCERN IS ABOUT MORE THAN THE PULPITS

The new Beeson Center launches at a time when sexual abuse scandals abound in the SBC and other complementarian movements. This has caused a push for “MORE women in leadership” in order to “prevent sex abuse and the cover up of abuse”. This is a flawed rhetoric and open door for feminist who wish to target” toxic masculinity” across the board.

Currently books like “Jesus and John Wayne ” and “Surviving Biblical Womanhood” are on a full frontal assault against the perceived “Toxic Masculinity” represented by evangelical men who are “fans of john Wayne and Donald Trump”.

MORE ON FEMINISM RISING HERE :

FEMINISM RISING IN THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION

NEUTRAL GROUND -DOES IT REALLY EXIST? NEVER HAS !

So the Center aims to remain neutral on the issue of “E vs C ” or in other words whether or not women should be in pulpit and pastoral ministry. The real issue is MUCH LARGER. Can conservative Christians enter a E&C dialog without opening the door to feminist and lesbian radicalism?

Intersectionality -“The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.”

Intersectionality IS a radical feminist movement. It weds together a collective of self identified victims of discrimination across the range of racial gender ,gay and other identities. It is at the heart of organizations like BLM. Despite all the attention and controversy about Resolution 9 on Critical Race Theory in the 2019 Southern Baptist convention – most seem to have ignored the melting pot of feminist, racial and gender /LGBTQ theory and activism represented by the push of “Intersectionality” along with CRT in the 2019 SBC Resolution # NINE. Trust the experts. Intersectionality is no LOVE POTION.

OFF TO A BAD START

A quick look at the Advisory Board for the Beeson Center for Women in Ministry shows a couple of infiltration points have already manifest.

Revoice “LGBTQ Thriving in Historic Christian Tradition” leader Tish Harrison Warren is a Board Member for the new Center for Women. She is also featured in a chapter of a recent book by the Center’s Executive Director Kristen Padilla.

Revoice conference inaugural event in 2018 exposed disturbing insight into the radical infiltration of both SBC and PCA’s flagship seminaries by “feminist theology” denouncing “the nuclear family as an IDOL”. This narrative is straight out of Drew Divinity School and radical feminist theologians like Janet Fishburn. Fishburn errors are many and Biblical believers should not be espousing her views of family or orthodoxy.

NATE COLLINS OF REVOICE ON THE FAMILY IDOL

“Human = parent??? It’s possible to uphold and prize biblical sexual ethics and marriage while not reinforcing the idolatry of the nuclear family that’s so prevalent in cultural Christianity. Single friends, ESP those who plan to never marry: you are wonderfully and fully human.” Quote from Revoice founder Nate Collins.

REVOICE AND “QUEER CULTURE “

Revoice also celebrated the “treasures which Queer Culture and Queer Theory” offer the church and “will bring into the New Jerusalem . Revoice espouses sexual minority, gay Christian and ” Queer Christian “identities & theory,

The thought leader behind the Revoice movement is American Psychological Association (APA interfaith leader on sexuality and gender Mark Yarhouse of Wheaton College. Yarhouse has fully persuaded many evangelical leaders like Southern Baptist Albert Mohler and PCA’s Tim Keller ( who is a favorite repeat speaker at Beeson) that “sexual orientation” exist and is inborn and unchanging. This is totally counter to the Gospel offer of repentance, freedom from the power of sin, hope and transformation for all sinners. Yarhouse also asserts the confusing reality of gender conflicted-transgenderism among believers. So the assertion is homosexuality is “fixed and cannot be changed” while biological gender not fixed to “‘gender fluid” gender identity. More on that at a later time.

TISH HARRISON WARREN REVOICE AND INTERVARSITY

Tish Harrison Warren@Tish_H_Warren “These past weeks, I’ve felt an ache-in-my-body longing to talk w/Revoice & sideB ( added for clarification- Side B are those who identify as LGBTQ but assert an espousal of celibacy This is a modern take on the “non-practicing homosexuals” narrative of the 1970s activism to infiltrate the mainline denominations.) friends. As a member of the advisory council, I want to be available to talk through *whatever* you want. So this webinar. We’ll talk my book but also happy to answer questions re: the ACNA brouhaha.” ( ACNA is the Anglican Church in North America and the “Brouhaha ” is over women’s ordination. )

Notice the issue of women’s ordination and LGBTQ activism run hand in hand.

TISH HARRISAON WARREN ENDORSEMENT OF GREG JOHNSON’S NEW BOOK .

Activism never sleeps .Even though Greg Johnson’s hosting of Revoice in his PCA Memorial Church in St Louis has caused a massive upheaval in the PCA followed by a significant split and recent efforts to squash the foolish and unbiblical LGBTQ Christian identities – Tish proudly endorses Johnson’s book.

“In the suffocating quagmire of the church’s debates about same-sex sexuality, Greg Johnson’s Still Time to Care is a breath of fresh air. While Johnson unflinchingly documents the failures of the ex-gay movement of the 1980s and ’90s, he also defends a traditional sexual ethic and articulates a ‘paradigm of care’ to counter the ‘paradigm of cure’ that has harmed so many people. Drawing deeply from history, evangelical leaders, and Scripture, Johnson articulates a way forward for sexual minorities and those who love them. Winsome, intelligent, personal, and warm, this book is important and profoundly needed. I want everyone I know to read it.”

Deep Dive with Tish Harrison Warren

“Check out our most recent Revoice Deep Dive with author Tish Harrison Warren. Join Revoice Executive Director Bekah Mason and Tish as they discuss Tish’s most recent book Prayer in the Night.”

According to her bio Tish- “She has worked in ministry settings for over a decade as a campus minister with InterVarsity Graduate and Faculty Ministries”. InterVaristy publishes Mark Yarhouse books & SPONSORED REVOICE IN 2019. Tish is also a founding member if the Pelican Project with SBC activist women like Karen Swallow Prior. Tish is a “senior fellow” of the problematic Trinity Forum where Obama era activist Michael Wear and now defrocked ERLC former President Russell Moore often role played advocating for “immigration reform” and social justice in the Soros funded National Immigration Forum. Funding for Trinity also comes from the progressive Muslim founder of Ebay.

Another Concern with the Beeson Center for Women in Ministry is the presence of an associate editor for the InterVarsity Press Anna Moseley Gissing. This concern is not only because of it’s 2019 support of Revoice after it’s 2018 controversy but also it’s weighty endorsement of Revoice thought leader and 2019 event speaker Yarhouse.

TIMOTHY GEORGE 2018 INTERVIEW WITH HEAD OF THE CENTER FOR WOMEN IN MINISTRY

George and the new Center’s director interviewed on the issue of women in ministry while she was communications coordinator for Beeson. George espouses the ability to bring these issues to the forefront while not taking a position on them biblically. Really?

Dean Timothy George talks to Kristen Padilla about her new book, “Now That I’m Called: A Guide for Women Discerning a Call to Ministry.”

Kristen Padilla is marketing and communications coordinator at Beeson Divinity School.

Timothy George:	That's what I like about you. Your book sounds a little bit like Beeson Divinity School, in that we don't take an advocacy position on these two positions that are out there in the Christian world. We have professors, and we have students on both sides of those issues. We talk about them. We sometimes have even public discussions about them. We don't sweep it under the rug, but we say, "This should not be a test of fellowship within our community," and that makes us different from other kinds of school. There are seminaries that are strictly complementarian. You couldn't be on the faculty if you didn't, and likewise, strictly egalitarian. You couldn't be on their faculty if you didn't take that ... We have a both and approach. We're not the only school like that. There are a number of others as well, and you seem to ... I guess the word is tension. There's a tension in your treatment of this issue which you find somehow reflected in the scriptures themselves. Is that right?

Kristen Padilla:	That's correct. I say in the book that we don't want to write off the difficult passages of scripture to make us feel better, but at the same time, we don't want to create a canon within a canon, elevating one text above the other, so I'm trying to help the women, in a gentle way, to enter into the tension of scripture, where on the one hand, you find women prophesying, very involved in the work of ministry, and then on the other hand, you have difficult texts like First Timothy 2. I want us to be faithful to Scripture as both complementarians and egalitarians do. We want to be faithful to the text, but I also want them to wrestle with the text, partly because they're going to wrestle with these questions if they haven't already. I want them to be prepared for that wrestling now, so that when they encounter these questions, and they encounter these texts later, that they'll be able to stand on a firmer footing. 

Timothy George:	Yeah, so let me pose the question this way. If you're a complementarian woman, and we shouldn't think all complementarians are men, of course. There are many complementarian women, even women theologians who are complementarian, and likewise egalitarians, there's both/and, if you're a complementarian, what can this book help you with? How can it help you understand this issue better?

Kristen Padilla:	For many women that I've encountered, and I grew up in complementarian traditions in churches, but for some women in certain complementarian traditions, they might feel that there's no place for them in ministry. I really hope that they feel encouraged where they may not feel encouraged. I also hope that they will see that even their ministry is restricted to women and children, that is a valuable ministry, that women and children are God's sheep. They are made in God's image, and delivering God's Word for them is just as important as it is to deliver it to men. I want them to see value in any sector of ministry that they are allowed to do. I also want them to wrestle with the idea that the Spirit gives gifts that are not divided along gender lines, and this is something that Anne Bowman talks about in her piece in the book Two Views on Women in Ministry, the first edition that I have, published by Zondervan. She's a complementarian, and she talks about the use of gifts. You do not have to have an office or even a pulpit to practice these gifts.

The notion of espousing neutrality while hosting the controversy is almost silly. E vs C is a divisive issue while George being a theologian heading a theological institution, the problem with “neutrality” should be glaringly obvious. George has raised many conservative believers concerns during his years at Beeson. The new Center for Women in Ministry and the push for Egalitarians and Complementarians Together looks to be yet another misstep in his troubled and fading legacy.

CONCLUSION

Some WOULD LOVE TO THINK Timothy George advocacy and “modest proposal” for a new E&C Together movement is helpful and harmless. In these times of intersectionality and it’s march through the institutions, neutrality looks like surrender and has the same eventual outcome. Black Lives Matter is led by radicalized racism feminist and lesbian activist who have attacked Christianity openly. Moreover with the current push against “toxic masculinity ” among evangelicals who love John Wayne let us consider carefully what entities like The Beeson Center of Women In Ministry are seeking to create. Is a forum for common ground and dialog without a theological stand amid the controversial and divisive issue able to discern and protect such a conversation or it’s participants from the rabid and destructive feminist agenda? Given that Revoice leaders and financial supporters have already infiltrated the new Center for Women in Ministry at Beeson … things are not looking good. Can Beeson’s new Center be neutral? Seems a very simple minded notion for deep thinking theologians.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

“Pharisees and Sadducees Together”? Good luck with that.

Jesus warns of the leaven of doctrine.

Matthew 16:

⁵ Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. ⁶ Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the ^[a]leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

⁷ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have taken no bread.”

⁸ But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you ^[b]have brought no bread? ⁹ Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up? ¹¹ How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the ^[c]leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” ¹² Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the ^[d]doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Galatians 5: ⁷ You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? ⁸ This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. ⁹ A little leaven leavens the whole lump. ¹⁰ I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.

KEY LEADERS IN THE EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT HAVE NO HESITATION IN PROMOTING THE “GLOBAL GOALS” OF AN ANTI-CHRIST WORLD SYSTEM. DAVID PLATT IS / HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MORE OBVIOUS AND SHAMELESS.

Rev Thomas Littleton

7/18/2021

David Platt is the popular pastor who heads the “Radical ” and “Secret Church” brands among other movements. Platt is currently the pastor of McLean Bible Church in Virginia. He became popular as a pastor of the troubled Church at Brookhills in Birmingham Alabama when it’s founding pastor became embroiled in a moral failure. Platt’s rise to the senior pastors position of the 4200 member Southern Baptist mega church made him the “youngest megachurch pastor in history” according to the New York Times.

Platts star faded in his short and troubled time as head of the SBC “International Missions Board” during which he made a sudden move into another pastorate at McLean Bible Church well before his exit from IMB. NOW Platt is facing another set of massive controversies as McLean has lost 40% of it’s membership in a recent split which has set off a war with long time members over his embrace of the false “Social Justice” and so called “WOKE” gospel.

PLATT HAS BIGGER PROBLEMS STILL.

BIGGER ISSUES LOOM AS PLATT SHOWS HIS GLOBALIST ALIGNMENTS.

Platt has sold many books and study guides for his various brands like Radical and Secret Church. His first book in the Radical series was featured on the NYT Best Seller list which has become little more than the fruit of clever marketing strategies based on massive pre-publishing purchases by authors and their entities.

Note as well that David Platt gained a position in the Lausanne Movement in 2015 while still heading the IMB as “The Chair of Lausanne’s Theology Working Group”. More on Lausanne’s endorsement of rabid Globalist Sustainable Goals which are intended to lead to Global Currency and Global Governance among other godless outcomes.

David Platt’s upcoming Radical Intensive conference planned for McLean Bible Church in September provides troubling insights into his branding’s sources and goals as part of the “missions strategy”. These sourcing partners will be familiar to anyone following the “Global Sustainability Goals ” of the United Nations and the economic and pandemic policies of organizations like the World Economic Forum.

RadicalIntensive

“Radical Intensive is a two-day event for lead pastors, decision-making senior leaders, and their teams to encourage and equip you to lead your church to make disciples of all nations, particularly in places of most urgent spiritual and physical need.Date: September 27-28, 2021Location: McLean Bible Church, 8925 Leesburg Pike, Vienna VACost: $295 (each subsequent person $195)”

Purpose

“Learn how your church can reimagine resources for the sake of the lost – specifically the unreached.”

“Receive detailed discipleship resources to expose, engage, and empower your congregation in Great Commission work.”

“Discover biblically faithful and practically effective ways your church can play a part in making the gospel known in some of the hardest to reach places on the planet.”

“Gain a vision for how to shift the idea of existing mission fields to mission forces, mobilizing your current reached world mission partners to the unreached.”

“Connect with other like-minded church leaders who are seeking to rectify the Great Imbalance.For those considering the Radical Intensive, we encourage you to read about Radical’s Mission, Statement of Faith, and Core Values.”

REALITY BEHIND THE FEEL GOOD MESSAGE ON “GOSPEL MISSION”

The Radical Intensive links to several entities related to the Radical research, data, and partner organizations.

Note Stratus .earth

“A PROJECT BY “

These partners clearly and brazenly source the information and data they are working to HARD SELL through Platt and the Radical brand from radical political, left leaning , globalist entities.

STRATUS -MISSION DATA REIMAGINED

Stratus asserts that it seeks to address “The great Imbalance”

“Stratus aims to address the Great Imbalance by helping the church identify the world’s most urgent needs so that it can reallocate its resources more strategically.“

“The vast majority of missions resources go to people and places already Reached by the Gospel, while only 3% of missionaries and 1% of missions money are deployed among the Unreached.”

“This is the Great Imbalance.”

“As a result, there are more people without access to the Gospel today than a decade ago.”

“Stratus seeks to equip the global church with fresh vision to accomplish the Great Commission by addressing some of the factors that perpetuate the Great Imbalance. We hope this tool allows the church to better understand what steps will be required to overcome the barriers that prevent needs from being met, spurring informed and collaborative missions strategy.”

Recalibrated Returns

“Stratus accounts for barriers that have impeded the progress of the Gospel. This recalibrated ROI promotes a more equitable distribution of resources where needs are the highest.“

STRATUS RESEARCH SOURCES INCLUDE:

And the only “Evangelical Partner ” for Radical ‘s Stratus is The Joshua Project

Joshua Project

“Joshua Project is an organization focused on providing the Church with data necessary to mobilize pioneer church-planting movements among every unreached ethnic group.”

Linguistic Diversity Index

“Dr. Chase Porter utilized Joshua Project data to create the Linguistic Diversity Index.”

People Group Fractionalization Index

The Joshua Project is part of the Lausanne Movement and offers an actual “Prayer Guide” for the fulfillment of the “17 Global Sustainability Goals “of the UN and virtually all the organizations listed above and on the Stratus website as sources.

THE 4/14 WINDOW TO INDOCTRINATE CHRISTIAN CHILDREN AND REDIRECT GOBAL MISSION INTO HANDS OF GLOBALIST.

One shameless goal of the evangelical partners like Lausanne’s David Platt and Ed Stetzer is to target children in the vulnerable and impressionable age range of 4 to 14 years of age.

More information on this wicked set of goals and strategies here:

GLOBALIST FALSE PROPHETS :THE REAL DANGER AHEAD.

TGC/ CT/ LAUSANNE TARGET 4-YEAR -OLD CHILDREN W/ FALSE CHRISTIANITY.

“Joshua Project is a Ministry of Frontier Ventures”

Frontier Ventures cites it’s Lasaunne history and work for the recalibration of Global mission on the FV website .

“Ralph Winter’s long career as a missionary, mission professor and “mission engineer” stemmed from his conviction that Christian organizations accomplish more when they cooperate in strategic ways.”

“Winter’s 1974 presentation at the Congress for World Evangelization in Lausanne, Switzerland – an event organized by American evangelist Billy Graham – was a watershed moment for global mission.”

“It was during this presentation that Winter shifted global mission strategy from a focus on political boundaries to a focus on distinct ethnic people groups. “

DAVID PLATT, LAUSANNE, JOSHUA PROJECT ARE STILL AT IT -AND REDEFINING CHRISTIAN MISSION TO BE LOCKSTEP WITH UNITED NATIONS AND OTHER GLOBALIST ORGANIZATIONS .

MINING AND PROMOTING GLOBALIST DATA LIKE THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.

WEC is utilizing the negative impact of the Coronavirus to push it’s Great Reset and the Global Warming agenda. A key part of the Great Reset is a global digital currency and global taxation. Platts groups “concern” for “The Great Imbalance” is the perfect platform for urging Evangelicals to buy in to the shift in resources toward Global Goals.

“There is an urgent need for global stakeholders to cooperate in simultaneously managing the direct consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. To improve the state of the world, the World Economic Forum is starting The Great Reset initiative.”….

THE CONTEXT

“The Covid-19 crisis, and the political, economic and social disruptions it has caused, is fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision-making. The inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems –from health and financial to energy and education – are more exposed than ever amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet. Leaders find themselves at a historic crossroads, managing short-term pressures against medium- and long-term uncertainties.”

THE OPPORTUNITY

“As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being.”

GLOBAL DECEPTION IS ANTI-CHRIST

(NOTE: Global goals alignment will also mean leaders, Churches and Christian ministries will participate in ongoing- highly politicized “pandemic responses” and vaccines also aiding globalist in contact tracing and vaccine hesitancy reduction. This has already taken place on a significant scale among leaders like Rick Warren, Stetzer and defrocked Southern Baptist Russell Moore.)

Like no other time in history the church is facing massive deception and seduction. You would think with such plain Biblical warning that most believers would escape the lure of false “global goals” Christianity . But sadly many believers trust leaders like David Platt, Tim Keller, and Ed Stetzer who are all stars of the Lausanne Movement. The idea that Christian ministries would offer a “prayer guide” for the “Global Sustainability Goals” seems unthinkable. Or the assertion that a popular pastor like Platt would resource driving data from partners like the WEF/ UN/ World Bank/ WHO and more to drive recalibration of missions resources to answer a justice agenda might seem like conspiracy theory .BUT the truth is undeniable and facts , in these cases, are stranger than fiction. It should be obvious that these movements and activities represent apocalyptic deceptions warned about by Jesus throughout the Gospels and in Revelation.

Clearly Christians must discern light from darkness in the motivations and outcomes of such men and their movements and they must admit that MANY ARE BEING GIVEN OVER TO STRONG DELUSION.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12New King James Version

⁹ The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, ¹² that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
