COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS INTERVIEW REVEALS GLOBALIST LGBTQ AGENDA VS CHRISTIANITY AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

THE LONG RANGE GOAL OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS DISCUSSION GLOBALLY IS TO REPLACE ALL BOTHERSOME LANGUAGE DEFINING HUMAN RIGHTS WITH “HUMAN DIGNITY” AND USING TOOLS LIKE LGBTQ “RIGHTS” TO MAKE THE U.S. CONSITUTION AND OTHERS LIKE IT OBSOLETE. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, SPEECH, ALL PERSONAL FREEDOM ARE THEN REDEFINED AND LIMITED BY THAT WHICH ASSERTS TO RECONGIZE THE “DIGNITY OF THE FRINGE”.

Rev Thomas Littleton

2/26/2022

In recent years there has emerged a new language and stated set of concerns and special interest which subject religious liberty to limitations and redefinition . It is the language contained in a very small phrase “human dignity”. All personal freedoms for all “global citizens ” are now being subjected to and redefined by it.

Christianity is it’s largest target and a recent Council on Foreign Relations interview with a “Faith Based Partnership ” and Human Rights Campaign /LGBTQ advocacy leader shows the application of the phrase and the tools of the trade for forced global “social change”.

Remember CFR is one of if not THE OLDEST globalist think tank and policy influencer funded and directed by David Rockefeller. It’s values have helped created the United Nations and drive both national and global policy.

Global LGBTQ+ Rights

Wednesday, February 2, 2022

Religion and Foreign Policy Webinars

“Michael Vazquez, independent policy advisor, discusses LGBTQ+ rights around the world and the Biden administration’s efforts to promote and defend these rights at home and abroad.”

EXPANDED BIO FOR MICHAEL

“Vazquez, Director of HRC’s Religion & Faith Program, is Catholic and lives in Washington, D.C. Before joining HRC, Vazquez was the Co-Executive Director of Brave Commons, which works to support LGBTQ rights on Christian college campuses. He holds a Master of Theological Studies from Duke University’s Divinity School.”

“As a public theologian and organizer, both my personal faith and the collective faith of the movement for our liberation have been central in my pursuit of the common good. Catholicism teaches that we are to hate evil and to love justice, and that is why abolition and an unyielding commitment to the defense of Black LGBTQ lives are the central ethics that drive my work. The way my queerness prophetically intersects with my faith allows me—as it does other LGBTQ faith leaders, theologians, and organizers—to imagine a reality far more just, equitable, and abundant than anything we have ever experienced, and it grants both the resilience and vitality to do the work to get us there.”

Michael Vazquez, Human Rights Campaign Director of Religion & Faith

CRF INTERVIEW BY

Irina A. Faskianos

Vice President for National Program and Outreach, Council on Foreign Relations

COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS PITCH ON LGBTQ RIGHTS

“Michael Vazquez is a public theologian, community organizer, and communications strategist. He serves as an advisor to government institutions, political candidates, religious and spiritual leaders, and nonprofit organizations on issues at the intersection of religion, politics, and social justice. Mr. Vazquez served as communications director at the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at USAID, the religion and faith director at the Human Rights Campaign, and as a fellow at Faith and Public Life, and founder of Brave Commons. He was also an advisor to the faith engagement team for the Biden-Harris campaign.”

“So, Michael, thanks very much for being with us. I would like it if you could set the table and talk a little bit about what is being done to promote LGBTQ+ rights in the United States and around the world, and how faith communities can contribute to this.”

( ABOVE NOTE THE ROLE OF ACTIVIST IN THE FAITH BASED NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIPS WHICH ALLOW CHURCHES, DENOMINATIONS AND RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS TO OBTAIN GOVERNMENT FUNDING.)

STRAIGHT CUT TO THE CHASE OF CHRISTIANITY AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

SOME EXCERPTS ON CHRISTIANITY, RELIGION AND GLOBAL LGBTQ RIGHTS

VAZQUEZ

I want to begin by talking about the role that faith communities, particularly faith leaders, have always held in communities throughout history as truth tellers and storytellers, right? That’s one of the principal roles that faith leaders have held, and not just clergy but cantors, singers, choirs, artists. Their role has been to disseminate truth and to tell a story about community in order to edify a community towards a particular end. Typically, throughout faith traditions, that’s towards the common good. How do we ensure that every member of our community and those that serve the communities that surround us experience equity, experience justice, safety, and security?”

“INHERENT (HUMAN) DIGNITY AND HOW FAITH LEADERS CAN ADVANCE LGBTQ RIGHTS”.

“One of the truths most religious traditions hold as central and core to their faith is that every individual has inherent dignity and value. You find that Islam. You find that in Christianity. You find that in Judaism. You find that in Hinduism. Across traditions, you find this core belief that every individual in the entirety of creation has inherent dignity and value. And so while there might be disagreements about policy, while there might be disagreements about positions on gender and sexuality broadly speaking, every tradition has maintained that there is dignity in every human person. And I think that’s a critical thing for us to set the table with because as we look at how faith leaders and faith communities both domestically and globally can engage in advancing LGBTQ rights, we need to go back to the core tenets that these communities hold and uphold and call on them to draw out of those traditions in order to advance justice for the LGBTQ community and, as a result, advance justice and equity for all communities.”

THE AFFIRMING POPE FRANCIS AND “THE COMMON GOOD”

“Pope Francis speaks on this by saying that disagreements of a philosophical or theological nature between faiths or between particular groups and people of faith are not obstacles to uniting to pursue shared goals as long as everyone involved shares a concern for the common good.”

ASSERTION THAT “MAJORITY OF PEOPLE OF FAITH SUPPORT LGBTQ RIGHTS”.

“I think that what we have seen, is as this story has been told both in the U.S. and abroad, as this—the reality that LGBTQ people—lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer people—have human—basic dignity, and thus have—should have access to the full diversity of human rights available to everyone else. As this has been shared, we have seen an increase—the data has shown—Pew shows there’s been an increase of acceptance globally for LGBTQ people and rights that should be afforded to us. Likewise, the Public Religious (sic; Religion) Research Institute has shown that the majority of people of faith in the United States support comprehensive protections against discrimination for the LGBTQ community.

AMERICAN RELIGIOUS RIGHT /ANTI SODOMY LAWS/COLONIALISM / CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN GROUPS ” ARE THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO VAZQUEZ AND CFR.

“So this begins with looking at the hard truths—the hard truths and then the hopeful things, right? The hard truth is that there has been a campaign globally by the religious right based in the United States and elsewhere, but primarily in the United States, to advance anti-LGBTQ policies, to support—whether that’s the anti-sodomy laws that we see in the Middle East and Africa; that’s—or we see throughout Africa some other anti-LGBTQ laws that are promoted by Catholic bishops, particularly in Uganda as an example. Throughout the world we see these, first, colonial holdover laws, colonial anti-sodomy laws that were left behind by European colonial powers and that have remained on the books ever since these colonial powers left these regions. And then you see, right, outside groups—outside conservatives—conservative religious groups pushing for the maintenance of these anti-LGBTQ laws, whether that’s banning relationships, whether that’s making being LGBTQ against the law and punishable by imprisonment and incarceration, or by death. We see that a lot of the advocacy for these laws come from minority religious groups in the United States and elsewhere.”

TRUMP WAS AGAINST THE LGBTQ ACCORDING TO THE INTERVIEW

“And we saw in order to help sustain this, in the previous administration we saw Secretary Pompeo—Secretary of State Pompeo institute the Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, right? There’s a close connection between this idea that LGBTQ rights must be prevented that these conservative religious groups are pushing, and this idea that religious freedom must be protected from, over, and against LGBTQ rights; that religious freedom, particularly I would say conservative religious freedom, was under threat globally and must be protected by—against or from the advancement of LGBTQ rights.”

THE CORE POINT OF CONFLICT …IN HIS OWN WORDS

“And so the Ministerial on Religious Freedom elevated religious freedom above other rights or made a claim  contrary to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that gives us a broad array of equal—coequal human rights, this ministerial and the previous administration claimed that there was—there’s religious freedom and then there’s all other rights, right? And we need to reframe that.”

A CALL TO “RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO STAND FOR LGBTQ RIGHTS

“We need religious leaders to stand in that also, not to say that our rights as religious people or people of faith are greater than the rights of other people. In order to safeguard LGBTQ rights and to advance LGBTQ rights globally, we have to get to the heart of this debate that there is religious freedom and religious rights in opposition to LGBTQ rights.”

MAKING ALLIES AND CALLING FOR THE EQUALITY ACT.

“Religious freedom is a major global issue. I will say that. It is a major global issue that we have to address with the rise of anti-Semitism, with the rise of Islamophobia, with the crackdowns on religious minorities around the world, there’s work that we have to do. There’s critical work that we have to do to ensure that religious minorities are protected, but we need to be able to distinguish between protecting religious freedom for religious minorities who are actually being persecuted, and the attempts by certain communities to use religious freedom as a weapon against other minority groups, which is what I believe we see in this battle for LGBTQ rights both domestically and abroad.”

“There are two major policies I want to speak to briefly and then we can get into it a little bit more later. But we have the GLOBE Act introduced by Senator Markey and we have the Equality Act, which passed the House for the second time last February. So we’re coming up—it was at the end of last February, so we’re coming up on the one-year anniversary of the Equality Act, which would provide comprehensive civil rights protections in matters of public accommodation, housing, employment, credit, et cetera, for LGBTQ people. Passed the House last February. We’re still waiting to see what its fate will be in the Senate.”

CONCLUSION

Faith leaders are well on their way to these grand deceptions and to moving the church into the hands of this global cabal. Ed Stetzer just recently spoke for a previous CFR forum and Rick Warren and others have been a members of CFR board.

Southern Baptist and other denominational leaders have joined HRC and other LGBTQ funders and activist on the Obama administrations Faith Based Partnership Board as far back as 2009. The Federal Funding and grants have been flowing ever since and the commitment to “the Common Good” mantra is sung like kumbaya around the grant camp fires.

ON THE OTHER SIDE- Nothing has actually played LGBTQ leaders than the promise of new found rights while all rights including their own are eroded and vaporize. They might have a few excited years with a sense of victory until this sad reality sets in.

No other issue has had more time in the spotlight in the last three decades than gay rights. From the 1969 Stonewall Riots to the 90s era declaration by MLK Southern Christian Leadership Conference cofounder Bayard Rustin that “gay is the new black” to the modern corporate shakedowns of the LGBTQ Rights Industrial Complex members like HRC…the call for equality is here to stay and ever expanding.

PROBLEM?

The problem is that this Human Rights movement and its powerful shift in language while simultaneously breaking down and deconstructing the old boundaries defining human rights , freedoms and protections IS IN FACT allowing the construction of global goals which then own all human rights allowing them to be stripped away including those of LGBTQ identified people. The rush to subject freedom of speech and freedom of religious conviction – Christian conviction and living by conscience to these new self identifiers- especially transgenderism have and are redefining what it means to be HUMAN and erasing thousands of years of human history defining humanity itself.

In Short no one has rights once what it means to be human or male or female becomes subject to any one of a thousand optional identities which everyone is then compelled by global overseers to recognize and respect the dignity of. No one has dignity .No one has freedom. Governments and global think tanks define all of our futures and we will all be on equal ground in the gulag of the coming modern society and its prisons of words.

Christianity is the fabric of modern Western Society and is hated by those who fail to recognize it or who want to destroy it. Equating Christian biblical conservatives or Donald Trump or Constitutional Conservatives as the enemies of human dignity is only proof that the narratives driven by forces like the Council on Foreign Relations care less for the rights or futures of minorities than they do about seizing and possessing their long lusted for global controls and Global Goals. Once realized we are ALL THE LOSERS.

The unseen power in the global scam of “Human Dignity” is the great deceiver Satan himself who robbed the human race of dignity in the Garden of Eden and took us all down the path to his own and our own destruction.

The only real “Human Dignity” comes from the ONE who made us Human and who Himself BECAME Human to restore not our rights but our access to the Throne Room of God by work of the cross and the reality of the empty tomb. All other assertions by think tanks and activist and the call to other alters is pure idolatry- nothing more.

1 John 5

Knowing the True—Rejecting the False

18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

BAPTIST MEDIA PROMOTES FEMA /DHS GRANTS TO CHURCHES FOR “NON PROFIT SECURITY PROGRAM”.

LONG A DISTURBING TREND, THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST AND OTHER CONSERVATIVE EVANGELICAL CHURCHES APPETITE FOR FEDERAL MONEY IS GROWING .THIS TIME THEY APPEAR EAGER TO PARTNER WITH THE GOVERNMENT IN DEVELOPING SECURITY PROTOCOLS FOR INCEDENT RESPONSE AND “DOMESTIC TERRORISM”.

Rev Thomas Littleton

2-21-2022

Does your House of Worship (HOW classification in the grant documents) partner with the government and tax dollars for security, emergency relief efforts, community development, man-made incidents cyber crime response, and infrastructure training? If it does then it is very likely your church leadership have been enticed to do so by the lure of free money and the encouragement of denominational leaders.

Would you like to visit a new church and be actively “ASSESSED for being a potential THREAT” while DHS and FEMA trained “Greeters” chat with you in a program tool called “The Power of HELLO”? Your answers might get you reported to the federal agencies involved as a potential threat of person of interest if your politics or even preferred language does not follow that of the pastor or staffers or “trusted team” trained by and funded with government grants.

Good luck if you are seeking and visiting a new church or if you are considered a problematic member of your own.

If you do not think your “HOW” is involved or receiving such funding consider that leaders can often be less than forthcoming about such programs and that the potential for abuses are massive and growing.

LOUISIANA BAPTIST APPER PROMOTES FEMA GRANTS

FEMA announces grants, information opportunities

FEBRUARY 18, 2022

By Baptist Message staff

“WASHINGTON (LBM) – The Federal Emergency Management Agency has announced it is offering opportunities for faith-based organizations to learn how to apply for funding from the 2022 Nonprofit Security Grant Program.”

“Grants are provided on a competitive process for facility hardening and other security enhancements. So, FEMA is offering a series of webinars (each will present the same information and allow open forum questions) for applicants to learn how to make the best case for their respective needs regarding protection against attacks and other emergency preparedness issues.”

“Each presentation will start at 2 p.m. (CT) and is accessible using the respective web link; ID; and passcode:”

NOTE the article then provides 5 links to FEAM Zoom Meetings for March and April for interested pastors and the link for more information on these grants and application process.

WHAT IS THE FUNDING FOR ?

According to Department of Homeland Security churches or “Houses of Worship” need to partner with federal and local agencies in security and disaster preparedness and response.

THE GRANTS ARE COMING THROUGH FEMA ACCORDING TO DHS SITE

“The US Department of Homeland Security through FEMA provides nonprofit security grants which are managed in partnership through each state’s Homeland Security Advisor’s office.  These competitive based grants provide funding to improve facility security, preparedness, and emergency planning. FEMA Grant information website.”

OBVIOUS DANGERS COME INTO PLAY WHEN CHRISTIANS ARE THE ACCUSED

The idea that new Faith Based Grant Programs come into play as Christians are being blamed in a new report for “coordinating” the riots on January 6th 2021 is a bit beyond unsettling. Given the groundswell of media and progressive efforts to blame Donald Trump and “Trump supporters” ,especially “white ” evangelicals for the events of January 6th 2021 “Insurgency” (and beyond) -the idea of recruiting pastors and church officials to be full on and paid FEMA and DHS partners is sharpening a blade that could cut both ways.

Recall this quote form the April 28th 2021 Biden first address to Congress as President

”  Setting his administration’s tone in his first speech to Congress, US President Joe Biden said Wednesday that white supremacists posed the “most lethal” terrorist threat to the United States.”

“And we won’t ignore what our intelligence agencies have determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today, white supremacist terrorism,” he said.”

This new “Report ” blaming Christians ( white Christian nationalist/ Trump Evangelicals ) for Jan 6th riots at the Capitol in 2021 is part of a sweeping campaign to vilify conservative Christians.

Further DANGERS exist :

DHS language in the FEMA grants is disturbing as the Church or House of Worship is described as a “INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES OF FAITH”. So what about those who do not fit the “inclusive ” mantra?

1- Many gullible young pastors and seminary students have already been indoctrinated with Social Justice and Critical Theories and view their own conservative congregants as “problematic politically ” and “divisive”. What is next? Pastors keeping an eye on the flock for their new partners? YES it even has a name ..”The Power of Hello”! More on that in a moment.

2- The Money from existing partnerships including FEMA, HHS, DHS and virtually every federal agency has negatively impacted the church and missions organizations often while congregants are unaware the funding and partnerships even exist. The Southern Baptist have a network of “Send Relief” centers across the country and in Puerto Rico which partner full time with federal agencies in FEMA disaster relief , community development, to import Muslim refugees, fight a variety of social ills.. many blamed on injustice and discrimination ,while promoting social justice , Diversity ,Equity & Inclusion. In Short the MONEY is driving the vision and NOT the Great Commission of Jesus. “Go into all the World and Preach the Gospel”. Matthew 16:15.

FAITH BASED PARTNERSHIP OF NT TIMES KILLED THEIR OWN MESSIAH

NOTE- a Cozy Faith Based Partnership existed between the religious leaders of Jesus day with Herod and the Roman Government. Protecting that “partnership ” and cooperation led to their demands that Jesus be arrested tried and executed !

3-Faith Based Partnerships do not allow for ministry of the Gospel and the church of “HOW” involved with such funding will be too busy in it’s FEMA roles where “any explicit religious activity” is forbidden and against the law and the grant guidelines.

How will Churches be able to do what God has commissioned them to do with the Gospel while fulfilling their roles and obligations as Government Contractors during disasters or other events impacting their communities?

4- All government understanding, training and guidelines are interfaith and have no ability to preserve or care for Christian Faith or its distinctives or God Given authority and vision. In fact it is just the opposite. Such interfaith and multi-faith efforts require the true church and it’s leadership to abandon such sectarian and divisive faith identities and become part of “is a trusted community within the inclusive, community of faith” which includes all faiths.

5- Abuse of federal and tax dollars has already been present in most Faith Based Partnerships including a $14 million dollar fraud case if this authors hometown with HHS money and Faith Based Healthcare Clinic downtown. No one has every really seemed concerned enough or made efforts to slow the flow of money and prevent the fraud and abuse .

6- ABUSE by pastors and church leadership / staff and elders is already a serious problem .So the answer to rampant abuse, coverups and corruption is MORE money and MORE power from Federal agencies?

7- For the most part people in houses of Faith have NO IDEA their “Houses of Faith” are involved in such funding let alone the dangerous programs and partnerships.

NO THIS IS BREWING UP A DISASTER OF ABUSE OF POWER AND CORRUPTION

REALITY ?

Many pastors and denominations have already been leading their churches down this deadly path of denying biblical Christianity in the name of “serving ” and “Community Development”. The church is not in danger of going down this path- it is well down this path and MORE MONEY is now paving the way for the slide into this FBP vision for the church in America . Separation of Church and State and Religious Liberty are already DONE with and over in such a model. This reality should concern both liberals and conservatives -both Christians and Atheist and everyone in between.

SOME ADDITIONAL AND DISTURBING DETAILS FOR CONSIDERATION

THE DHS AND FEMA GRANT PARTNERSHIP DETAILS

FAITH BASED COMMUNITY RESOURCES

“The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is committed to supporting efforts to maintain safe and secure houses of worship and related facilities while sustaining an open and welcoming environment. In partnership with the Department of Homeland Security Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and the Faith-Based Information Sharing and Analysis Organization, CISA provides resources that assist in securing physical and cyber infrastructure.”

“CISA aims to provide a first stop for guidance and resources that will inform FOB-HOW security-based decisions.  Included below are numerous resources, including a Guide and Self-Assessment Tool, which provide building blocks for effective safety and security programs. The resources include assessment, training, planning, exercises, and other materials focused on a wide range of man-made threats (e.g., bombing, active shooter, vehicle ramming, etc.) that could be used against the FBO-HOW community.”

THE POWER OF HELLO” GREETING IS NOW AN INVESTIGATION

“THE POWER OF HELLO” PROGRAM-

NO LONGER JUST GREETING A STRANGER TO MAKE THEM FEEL WELCOME TO CHURCH

“Every day we face a variety of potential threats, both internal and external, from hostile governments, terrorist groups, disgruntled employees and malicious introducers. Alert employees can spot suspicious activity and report it. The power is in the employee, citizen, patron, or any person who can observe and report.”

WORDS AS A TOOL?

“Used effectively, the right words can be a powerful tool. Simply saying “Hello” can prompt a casual conversation with unknown individuals and help you determine why they are there. The OHNO approach – Observe, Initiate a Hello, Navigate the Risk, and Obtain Help – helps employees observe and evaluate suspicious behaviors, and empowers them to mitigate potential risk, and obtain help when necessary.”

“SPOTTING AND REPORTING SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY”

“This more focused guide promotes employee vigilance for our houses of worship stakeholders. Alert personnel can better spot suspicious activity and actively report it. Keeping houses of worship facilities secure while sustaining the open and welcoming environment necessary for peaceful congregation requires a holistic approach to security.”

GUIDEBOOKS AND TRAINING

“This guide identifies behavioral and suspicious activity indicators and provides basic personal security measures to reduce the probability of becoming a victim of an attack. “

HISTORY OF COLLABORATION DEVELOPMENT

FEMA has become a comfortable partner for many churches and denominations through Disaster Relief efforts. In fact the Southern Baptist in Louisiana where this Baptist Press report on the grants comes via its state Baptist newspaper have long been addicted to FEMA funds and partnerships since the advent of the FBP programs under Bush and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The Obama Administration saw the CEO of the Southern Baptist Executive Committee joins in the Obama era overhaul of the FBP programs and aligned with a wide assortment of activist and progressives to find “Common Ground for the Common Good” and to of course get the grants !!!

NOW THINGS ARE ADVANCING BEYOND SERVING TO BECOMING SECURITY FORCES AND EYES AND EARS IN THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY.

CHURCHES BECOME HOMETOWN PROTECTORS AND WATCHDOGS

“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) most important mission is to protect the American people.  As part of this mission, DHS fosters collaboration between the private sector and the public sector to mitigate risk and enhance the security and resilience of public gathering sites and special events.”

“DHS provides expert counsel and recommendations on protective measures that organizations of all sizes can implement to protect facilities and venues. These tools and resources are offered free to communities because the Department recognizes that communities are the first line of defense in keeping the public safe and secure.”

“CISA’s Hometown Security program provides access to tools and resources to support community security and resilience; DHS recognizes that communities are the first line of defense in keeping the public safe and secure. For more resources to help be prepared, visit the products below.”

CHURCHES BECOME WATCHDOGS IN THE TOWN

“In collaboration with several houses of worship and community partners (i.e., governmental entities that have a responsibility in the plan, including first responders, public health officials, and mental health officials), houses of worship can take steps to plan for these potential emergencies through the creation of an emergency operations plan (EOP).”

“FAITH BASED INFORMATION SHARING AND ANALYSIS SHARING” …OR SPYING ON CONGREGANTS? WHERE IS THE LINE DRAWN IN “INCULSIVE COMMUNITIES OF FAITH ?

“The FB-ISAO is a trusted community within the inclusive, community of faith. The ISAO and its members maintain primary focus on sharing timely, actionable and relevant information with an all-hazards approach as incidents affecting the community come in the form of physical threats, cybersecurity issues, health outbreaks, and a variety of natural disasters. The FB-ISAO’s mission is to provide members with information, analysis, and capabilities to help reduce risk while enhancing preparedness, security, and resilience.”

CYBER THREATS FOR CHURCHES?

“The faith-based community can be a target of cyber crime or incidents that deny access to information, render information unusable, or even disclose the personal information of congregants in the public domain.  CISA has created the STOP.THINK.CONNECT.™ national campaign and resources for small businesses, aimed at increasing the understanding of cyber threats and empowering the American public to be safer and more secure online. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. We each have to do our part to keep the Internet safe. When we all take simple steps to be safer online, it makes using the Internet a more secure experience for everyone.  “

RESOURCES INCLUDE 2017 STUDY AND TRAINING VIDEOS

“In this security guide, CISA analyzed ten years of targeted attacks on houses of worship to provide context to the enterprise-wide security recommendations. The case studies reviewed are examples of the breadth of threats a house of worship faces daily.

“Numerous studies estimate there are between 300,000 and 400,000 congregations in the United States. Many people believe or think a house of worship is a safe area where violence and emergencies cannot affect them. However, violence in a house of worship is not a new phenomenon, and many facilities are developing and updating security and emergency plans and procedures to ensure the safety and security of their congregations, visitors, staff, and facilities. “

“Today, houses of worship face a unique set of safety and security challenges that weren’t there just a few years ago.  This video offers a look at those challenges and demonstrates how law enforcement, houses of worship, and other partners can work together to report suspicious behavior and raise security awareness, while forging positive relationships within the community.”

HOW COVID PAVED THE WAY

COVID PPP MONEY FLOODED THE CHURCH IN 2020

“FAITH BASED SECURITY AMID COVID 19”

“On October 27, 2020, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the InfraGard National Capital Region held a Faith-Based Security and Safety Symposium webinar to discuss best practices and risk mitigation strategies for protecting houses of worship amid the COVID-19 pandemic.”

CONCLUSION

The one certainty with our churches taking government funding and being trained by DHS and FEMA to “keep a watchful eye” on their congregations – is that this is dangerous grand indeed and the church is giving up and losing something it can NEVER REGAIN. Meanwhile in the same era congregations are fighting against all out efforts to implement the tools of Cultural Marxism and Socialist Economics and “Social Justice” to indoctrinate our children even INSIDE our own churches. History has proven this NEVER ends well.

Pastors who are already led astray by deception in our seminaries will have no problem forming the “trusted” teams and passing out “the brown shirts” for security teams who ARE part of (DHS/FEMA wording ) ” a trusted community within the inclusive, community of faith” to use “The Power of Hello” to size up first time visitors or to keep a watchful eye out and report to the authorities about that annoying couple who NO LONGER fit into the ” trusted community within the inclusive, community of faith.”

In Short the church is no longer the church .The church has become something else and it’s mission is no longer the Gospel or the Great Commission to take the Gospel to the ends of the Earth .

Such a church is bound for and fit for nothing else than the DUNG HEAP.

PCA’s LIGON DUNCAN PROTEGE’ PART OF REPORT BLAMING JAN 6th RIOTS ON “CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM”

DUNCAN DISCIPLE JEMAR TISBY IS PART OF A NEW REPORT ASSERTING THAT A NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS LINKED TO AND LED BY “CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST” ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE “STORMING OF THE CAPITOL ” ON JANUARY 6TH 2021 AND MAINTAIN THE USE OF THE NOW DEFUNKED NARRATIVE OF AN “ISSURECTION “.

LIGON DUNCAN CLAIMS HE “AIN’T GROOVING WITH NO CULTURAL MARXISM” BUT IS JEMAR TISBY MENTOR

Even as the events of January 6th 2021 remain under investigation and after many alternative media investigations proved the narratives of CNN/ MSNBC / Capitol Hill to be false- a new group of professing Christian leaders proclaim that (white) Christians who supported Donald Trump are responsible . The new report is entitled-

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM AND THE JANUARY 6TH 2021 INSURECTION

“The Christianity was one of the surprises
to me in covering this stuff, and it has been hugely
underestimated,” ( One of those quoted said) . “That Christian nationalism you
talk about ( in the report ) is the driving force and also the unifying force
of these disparate players. It’s really Christianity that ties it
all together.”

The Report

THE REPORT ASSERTS

“Christian nationalism was
the “driving force”
An NPR journalist who is an expert in American extremist
groups was struck by the diversity of the extremism
that day:
Am I going to see an Oath Keeper? OK, there’s an
Oath Keeper. Am I going to see the Three Percent
logo? Definitely saw some of them there. Qanon,
huge presence at this one. I saw neo-Confederates
in the crowd, all sorts of white supremacist and neoNazi insignia, too. And all of the strands of American
extremism were there in the same crowd. And what’s
wilder is that they were in the same crowd with, you
know, a grandmother from Arizona, you know, who
fervently believes in her heart that the election was
stolen and that her vote didn’t matter.193
Yes, the groups were diverse. But it was the Christian
nationalism that united them that day”

TISBY HISTORY WITH LIGON DUNCAN HEAD OF RTS

Reformed Theological Seminary

June 25, 2015

Tisby Appointed Director of AALI

“Reformed Theological Seminary is pleased to announce the appointment of Jemar Tisby (BA Notre Dame ‘02, RTS Jackson MDiv ’15, JSU MA cand, SBTS PhD cand) as the first Director of the African American Leadership Initiative (AALI) at RTS Jackson and Special Assistant to the Chancellor. As Director, Jemar will be responsible for discipling students in the program as well as recruiting and networking. As Special Assistant to the Chancellor, he will work with the Chancellor to increase African American engagement and enrollment at RTS and cultivate biblical diversity and inclusion. He begins his new position on July 1.”

“RTS Chancellor Ligon Duncan says, “I am thrilled that Jemar Tisby has accepted this key role here at RTS. He is a man I trust. I count him as a dear friend. Jemar is an educator (a former school teacher and principal) and a churchman (having served under the extraordinary Mike Campbell at Redeemer Church here in Jackson). His commitment to the inerrancy of Scripture, the Reformed faith and the gospel ground all his efforts towards our honoring the image of God in all people.”

“In recent days, African American leaders have spoken of “the Four Rs” that God has raised up in Jackson, MS to further the recent Reformed African American resurgence: Redeemer Church PCA (a dynamic multiethnic congregation mentoring numerous interns), Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at Jackson State University (the first RUF campus ministry at a HBC/U, led by RTS grad Elbert McGowan), RTS and AALI, and Reformed African American Network (RAAN), co-founded by Jemar Tisby and Phillip Holmes.”

A BIT OF TISBY HISTORY AND ACTIVISM

Once fully vested in credentials as the special assistant to Chancellor Ligon Duncan, Tisby began his activism in earnest.

In 2015 PCA annual meeting he and Duncan proposed a “What is a Personal Resolution on Civil Rights Remembrance.” It did not pass but shows the team activism of Duncan and his disciple Tisby focus on race. The resolution was referred to the following year.

“The 2015 PCA General Assembly will be remembered most for the debate surrounding the Personal Resolution on Civil Rights Remembrance. Sean Lucas and Ligon Duncan signed the resolution and presented it at the Assembly.”

“While the resolution did not pass at the 2015 Assembly, it was referred to next year’s Assembly for consideration. In the meantime, Presbyteries and churches are expected to discuss issues surrounding not only the Civil Rights Movement but racial issues that continue to impact the church in the U.S.”

TISBY RADICAL TOUR

He then began to tour other events and reformed theological institutions and promote his racial narrative. One example was on the anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in 2018 where Tisby was featured to speak in meetings and during Chapel at the very conservative Covenant College on Lookout Mountain in Georgia.

SOME TISBY QUOTES

“The failure of many Christians in the South and across the nation to decisively oppose the racism in their families, communities, and even in their own churches provided fertile soil for the seeds of hatred to grow. The refusal to act in the midst of injustice is itself an act of injustice. Indifference to oppression perpetuates oppression.”
― Jemar Tisby, The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church’s Complicity in Racism

“Being complicit only requires a muted response in the face of injustice or uncritical support of the status quo.”
― Jemar Tisby, The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church’s Complicity in Racism

“Christians need to pay attention to how their educational choices for their own children reinforce racial and economic segregation in schools.”
― Jemar Tisby, The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church’s Complicity in Racism

ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUNDLY ACCUSING OF TISBY STATEMENTS

“Complicit Christianity forfeits its moral authority by devaluing the image of God in people of color. Like a ship that has a cracked hull and is taking on water, Christianity has run aground on the rocks of racism and threatens to capsize—it has lost its integrity. By contrast, courageous Christianity embraces racial and ethnic diversity. It stands against any person, policy, or practice that would dim the glory of God reflected in the life of human beings from every tribe and tongue.”
― Jemar Tisby, The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church’s Complicity in Racism

TISBY CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM REPORT

THE PATRIOTIC WITNESS OF BLACK CHRISTIANS
Jemar Tisby, Ph.D.

“White Christian nationalists often refer to themselves as
patriots. They understand their mission as defending the
core principles of the United States and, in this sense,
they are acting as the truest Americans.
Unfortunately, the white Christian nationalist version
of patriotism is racist, xenophobic, patriarchal, and
exclusionary. Their vision of the nation conveniently puts
white people — especially men — who are politically
conservative and who make some claim of Christian
adherence at the top of the social hierarchy. Moreover,
white Christian nationalist ideas of patriotism not only
condone but celebrate the use of violent force to protect
their power, as seen in the January 6 insurrection attempt.
The Black church tradition, however, presents another
version of patriotism. In contrast to white Christian
nationalism, Black Christians have historically tended to
embrace a kind of patriotism that leads to an expansion
of democratic processes, the inclusion of marginalized
people, and a call for the nation to live up to its
foundational ideals.”

“While public attention often turns to the absurdities and
indignities promulgated by white Christian nationalists,
there are other examples of how to demonstrate a
commitment to America.”

“The historic example of Black Christians demonstrates
that a Christian commitment to God and country does not
always mean making America a white man’s country.”

CONCLUSION

LIGON DUNCAN’S PROTEGE’ IS AN EXPERT IN CRT AND PITTING BLACK AGAINST WHITE IN CHRISTIAN FAITH .

RTS ,like many seminaries are now flush with the practitoners of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality . Tisby, like his friend and cohort Jarvis Williams at Albert Mohler’s SBTS or Southern Baptist Theological Seminary are not jr professors gone rogue but sit in positions favored and appointed by the esteemed men who head these institutions.

Racism and the accusations of it are now BIG BUSINESS in the conservative evangelical circles. WHY? you may ask. Because it is one more way to exploit the conservative Christians through endless guilt and accusations and continue efforts to shame them to the left in their social , spiritual and political convictions.

Where will it all end if this effort is a success? Third way compromise which is being set up to collapse Christians into the mushy middle and a socialism flavored interfaith inclusive Christianity . It will be a false faith having a form of godliness but denying its actual power to overcome sin including racism and resulting in a church that has lost its both its savor and its will to call sinners to true repentance.

A church whose present leaders have no accountability is bound for and fit for nothing but the dunghill of progressive politics.

EXAMPLE

A recent article by serial activist/ Ligon Duncan TGC fellow & 9MARKS editor Jonathan Leeman a graduate of the Fabian Socialist London School of Economics provides the new false and deceptive third way narrative.

You can smell the progressive rot in every word of Leemans article

A BAPTIST THIRD WAY FOR POLITICAL THEOLOGY “

Author’s note: The following article is the first half of a chapter I have contributed to a book tentatively titled Explorations in Baptist Political Theology, edited by Thomas Kidd, Paul Miller, and Andrew Walker, to be published by B&H Academic in the summer of 2023. Thanks to the publisher and editors for permission to publish the excerpt here so far ahead of time.”

“The basic thesis of my chapter is, a Baptist political theology offers a third way in between integralism, theonomy, or establishmentarianism[1] on one side and classical liberalism on the other. And though I don’t make the case in what follows, I believe it offers a political theological framework for Christians generally, even though I refer to it as a Baptist political theology. A paedobaptist might disagree with any number of points here, but I’m unaware of anything within a paedobaptist theology (of any variety) that necessarily prevents him or her from taking the path I recommend.”

LEEMAN CONTINUES HIS FALSE THIRD WAY NARRATIVIE

A Baptist Third Way?

“It’s at this moment, on the horns of the public theology dilemma, that a Baptist political theology walks up and offers something of a third way. It agrees with the theonomists, establishmentarians, integralists, and advocates of a thick justice generally that justice requires both a substantive moral basis and substantive moral clarity—the ability to say, “These rights are rights and those rights are wrong.” Yet it also agrees with philosophical liberalism’s anti-utopianism and its call for institutional constraints. It is comparatively modest in the expectations it places on law and therefore the power of government. Instead, it focuses first on regenerate local churches as the beginning of a righteous and just political life, which is precisely what makes it a Baptist political theology.”

WARNING DO NOT BUY THE SNAKE OIL OF THIRD WAY POLITICS – THEY ALWAYS PROVE A FAILED PATH TO COMPROMISE AND RETAIN NOTHING OF THE BIBLICAL CONVICTIONS OF THE PARTICIPANTS WHO CONSUME THEM. AMERICA’S ILLS WILL NOT BE HEALED BY THIS SNAKE OIL.

LIGON DUNCAN AND OTHER THIRD WAY CHRISTIAN LEADERS DISOWN YOUR LEGION OF PORTEGE’ OR OWN YOUR UNBIBLICAL PROGRESSIVE COMPROMISE.

THE PROBLEM WITH ALLBERRY, SHAW/ LIVING OUT ADN WHY THEY ARE NOT “TRUSTED SOURCES” FOR CHURCHES,FAMILES, KIDS.

Living Out has remained since it first appeared around 2013 as part of the Church of England’s “Two year conversations ” to move the church toward embracing the coming (at the time) legalization of gay marriage by the UK Parliament. These organized and orchestrated “Conversations ” were led and organized and promoted nationally by former Health Minister Sir Joseph Pilling.

https://www.churchofengland.org/news-and-media/news-and-statements/pilling-report-published

Living Out with a herd of gay identified activist priest like Allberry and Shaw were soon making the rounds to sell the talking points of compliance via a massive national “Social Change” effort which resulted in Allberry’s best selling book “Is God Anti Gay ” and a website full of testimonies, conversations, articles , videos and “resources” all claiming to be from the conservative and biblically orthodox side of the conversations due to its sole reliance on “Celibacy” and the new change agent language of “Same Sex Attracted “. SSA language was drafted by the interfaith work of the APA and the international human rights organizations with evangelical partners like the 2010 Lausanne Movements global cabal. Allberry admitted to this writer in 2013 that the SSA language was an alternative term to the word “gay ” or “gay Christian” . So SSA is an admitted alternative way to self identify as a gay Christian without causing controversy.

Celibate but still LGBTQ identified was then touted deep commitment to “biblical sexual ethic” while still promoting Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity or SOGI talking points of the psychological and global human rights change agents. The ” SSA embracing and committing to celibacy ” stance developed a “Side B ” alternative position to the “Side A ” Fully Affirming LGBTQ Christianity which has completely disabled entire denominations like the Presbyterian Church and many others is America from presenting clarity on and condemning the social change efforts in their midst.

SSA but Celibate is the modern version of the “non practicing homosexual” narrative used in mainline churches like the COE/Episcopal, Methodist , Lutheran etc. a generation ago which ending in the inclusion, membership, marriage and ordination of LGBTQ identified and split many movements and denominations repeatedly since that time. SSA or Non Practicing is certainly not long term sustainable position nor is inclusion and ordination a successful growth strategy for any church or movement. History bears this out 100%.

TIM KELLER THE LAUSANNE SNAKE OIL SALESMAN ALLBERRY’S AMERICAN AGENT

Tim Keller before 2010 was a relatively unknown pastor in New York City who had become the darling of other Lausanne affiliates like Ed Stetzer and Christianity Today. Keller had been promoted from a small pulpit in VA to plant a “flagship church ” for the conservative but going progressive Presbyterian Church in America. Keller had formed The Gospel Coalition around 2006 with D A Carson and it became the leading edge of the progressive political change efforts in American evangelicalism. In 2010 Keller and Carson adopted an APA interfaith Whitepaper on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity from the APA most valued workman in the development of religious narratives on SOGI. This paper became the Gold Standard from which these progressive efforts would be based. Lausanne Movement where Keller was the keynote speaker in 2010 adopted a similar set of 5 whitepapers with the same SOGI/ SSA narrative and language.

SAM ALLBERRY AND LIVING OUT

WHERE DOES ALLBERRY COME IN?

Once the conversation was in full swing in the UK ordered by the UK government to make its state church compliant with the coming legalization of gay marriage , Allberry’s Living Out and book were introduced tot eh American church via his book and multiple conference appearances in the states. These would lead to Allberry becoming a TGC editor on all things LGBTQ. Living Out resources were being used as other resources and conversation guides were appearing at the same time from HRC and other openly left and pro LGBTQ organizations.

Mark Yarhouse , the APA interfaith narrative developer who wrote the Whitepaper for TGC also became a key figure in the work of Living Out .At the same time another less known but emerging figure Nate Collins reviewed and promoted Sam Allberrys book for TGC.

NOTE Nate Collins was working at this same time to help collapse the “ex gay ministry” Exodus International which were set efforts of ministries to help people out of homosexuality on a collision course with their own demise as discriminatory , “harmful especially to LGBTQ youth” and demands for all so called “reparative therapies ” to be outlawed. Collins was a Student at the Southern Baptist flagship seminary SBTS under Albert Mohler and Russell Moore who had just ascended to the head of the Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission pushing a rabidly progressive message. By 2018 Collins was teaching New Testament at SBTS for Albert Mohler while launching the radical and divisive pro LGBT+ Flourishing in the church movement called “REVOICE”.

So Collins is about to become a front page operative once Sam Allberry and Living Out promoted their upcoming London Conference with Tim and Kathy Keller in June of 2018 and “for our American audience – Revoice (Nate Collins) LGBT+ Thriving in the Church. This is also the same meeting were Allberry and Living Out ,with the help of Kathy Keller, introduced their LGBTQ Church Inclusion Audit which Ms Keller affirmed to be “brilliant ” and that she was “taking it straight back to their church in New York” to be put into use.

So again -in 2013 Living Out surfaces as part of the UK State Church compliance effort and Allberry publishes his book which Keller’s TGC with the help of the future founder of Revoice and present participate work with Exodus the Ex Gay ministry collapsing- promotes Allberry and his new book to American Evangelicals.

TGC / CHRISTIAN LIVING

Is God Anti-Gay?

JULY 15, 2013  |  NATE COLLINS

” In this brief but important book, Is God Anti-Gay? And Other Questions about Homosexuality, the Bible, and Same-Sex Attraction, Sam Allberry combines pastoral wisdom, authentic autobiography, and sound exegesis to provide Christians with a helpful introduction to the topic of homosexuality.”

“From the first few pages, it’s clear the greatest strength of the book is its simple readability. Despite the complexity of the subject matter, Allberry, associate pastor of St. Mary’s Church in Maidenhead, England, distills the most important points of his discussion into five short chapters. Together with an autobiographical introduction and conclusion, these chapters provide a wise way forward for Christians to be a faithful and compassionate witness to the gospel in our society. …” Nate Collins (read remainder at TGC )

KELLER’S TGC PALS ALBERT MOHLER AND RUSSELL MOORE LAUNCH ALLBERRY STATESIDE VIA ERLC CONFERENCE IN 2014

By 2014 Southern Baptist new “Ethics ” progressive Russell Moore placed Sam Allberry into Orbit by having him and an American herd of self identified SSA/ Gay activist like Rosaria Butterfield , Jackie Hill Perry and close to a dozen others speaking at his ERLC Conference on “The Gospel ,Homosexuality” and The Future of Marriage”. Few knew what was coming in the US regarding the law , the Supreme Court and Gay Marriage in less than a year but clearly some of these evangelical leaders did. Just like in the UK the church needed to be led into compliance with the coming laws of the land.

In this conference Albert Mohler, who was both Collins boss at SBTS and Moore’s former boss who had promoted him into the ERLC position. confessed to and APOLOGIZED for being “Wrong about Sexual Orientation and having denied it’s existence. This placed one of the leading ,highly regarded theologians in America in lockstep with the APA, Mark Yarhouse interfaith SOGI narrative, TGC Whitepaper by Yarhouse, Lausanne and Kellers 5 Whitepaers, the UK Parliament , Sam Allberry/ Living Out , His own SBTS rising star in the LGBTQ narrative Nate Collins, his activist head of the ERLC ,Russell Moore ….AND the coming Obergefell Supreme Court decision.

WHO KNEW ?

SOMEONE CERTAINLY DID AND COMMITTED TO THE CONVERSATIONAL DIALOG TO MOVE THE CHURCH TOWARD COMPLIANCE EVENTHOUGH- IN AMERICA THE CHURCH IS NOT A STATE CHURCH…WE RECEIVED THE SAME MESSENGE AND SOME OF THE SAME MESSENGERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM LIKE SAM ALLBERRY.

MORE ON LIVING OUTS NEW CHILDREN FOCUED EFFORT AND PARTNERS

FAITH IN KIDS


“Too often churches are losing the hearts and minds of our children. Too many of the children who attend church grow up knowing Bible facts and a long list of Christian behaviours but without a love for Jesus Christ. Faith in Kids wants to see more children engaging with and responding to God personally. Children who are having their hearts and minds informed by Christ’s words, by God’s grace, will grow into teenagers who want to live for Him.”

“Faith in Kids focuses on those who lead the children’s ministry in their local Church. We want to build their confidence and grow their vision to see how vital their role is. These key individuals, in turn, can then be a catalyst for change in countless children’s lives through Sunday School leaders, parents and church leaders. “

“The purpose of Faith in Kids is to resource, equip and support those who oversee the children’s ministry in their local church, because they can reach countless Sunday School leaders, parents and church leaders.We also encourage and equip parents to open the Bible and speak about faith in Christ with their children at home.”

  • Faith in Kids resources with materials that build skills in leaders and build love for Christ in children.
  • Faith in Kids resources leaders and parents with Bible-based materials that are easy to use and that encourage children to grow in their love for God. 
  • Faith in Kids equips leaders with events and training materials that build skills and confidence. We run family activity weekends to help parents open the Bible with their children.
  • Faith in Kids encourages leaders and parents to persevere in teaching the Bible to children with regular updates, blogs and visits.”

FAITH AND KIDS WITH LIVING OUT AND THE SOGI /LGBTQ CONVERSATION

“Time to tackle it! I think this is a great start. Expect lots more from us in this area. Feedback is always welcome.”

“While everyone else is talking sex, sexuality and gender, how do we navigate these thorny topics? Ed Shaw (Living Out) helps us to show our children the better story (as well as explaining how he has grown out of his support for Richard 3rd and the Conservative party, but is still a Christian and is still same sex attracted)”

SOME OF THE BOOKS USED IN THE FAITH IN KIDS/ LIVING OUT EFFORT

“PLAUSIBILITY PROBLEM

:THE CHURCH AND SAME SEX ATTRACTION “

“It’s all very well to say that the Bible is clear when it talks about homosexuality. But is it realistic Isn’t it unrealistic and unfair to those who struggle with this issue Doesn’t it condemn them to loneliness, a lack of fulfilment and the loss of basic human satisfactions like sex and marriage Is what the church teaches a plausible way of life Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction, and yet he is committed to what the Bible says and what the church has always taught about marriage and sex. In this honest book, he shares his pain in dealing with these issues – but, at the same time, shows us that obedience to Jesus is ultimately the only way to experience life to the full. He shows that the Bible’s teaching seems unreasonable not because of its difficulties, but because of missteps that the church has often taken in its understanding of the Christian life. We have been shaped by the world around us, and urgently need to re-examine the values that drive our discipleship. Only by doing this in the light of the Bible, can we make sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted to their own sex. We have so often made Jesus’ way sound like a bad deal. Only by reclaiming the reality of gospel discipleship, can we truly see and appreciate that life in Christ is the best way for any human life to be lived = whomever we are attracted to.”

ALSO

PURPOSEFUL SEXUALITY

“If you’re a human being, then you’re a sexual being. But what is your sexuality for? That’s a question we often struggle to answer because we find it so hard to talk about our powerful and personal sexual feelings – perhaps especially if we’re Christians.”

“Ed Shaw explores the Bible’s deepest answers to this question in ways that will help everyone to appreciate and enjoy God’s purposeful gift of sexuality – whatever your past history, current situation or sexual orientation might be.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

“The purpose of this video is to evaluate the teaching of Dr Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, on the subject of homosexuality. Mohler is encouraging the Church to embrace the issue of sexual orientation, a psychological concept that is entirely without biblical warrant. He accuses evangelicals of having lied about the nature of homosexuality and of practicing a form of homophobia. He fully supports the ministry of same-sex attracted Sam Allberry, a Church of England priest. His position is similar to that of the gay agenda, which seeks to normalize homosexuality in society and the Church.”

https://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=31433

“Dr. Williams states, “As we shall see in this video, Mohler’s position today is similar to that of the gay agenda, which seeks to normalize homosexuality.” Williams also points out that in spite of a 2005 position held by Mohler declaring that the modern concept of sexual orientation opens the door for the homosexual lobby to reinterpret the meaning of Scripture, a decade later Mohler has changed his mind; we see a compromised man who radically changed his position. Similarly, the video shows that Mohler uses the language and tactics of the progressive left to accuse those who disagree by calling them “homophobic.”

FAITH IN KIDS PROMISESS RELIABLE “CHRIST CENTERED RERSOURCES ” FOR YOU ,YOUR CHURCH AND YOUR KIDS

“Faith in Kids was created out of a growing demand for trusted, Bible-based, Christ-centered resources. For many years we have been sharing resources to an increasing number of children’s workers so we decided that it was time to do more! A growing team of children’s workers and volunteers are working to develop both the website and its resources.”

“We present Christ to children because he told his followers to let the children come to him. We want to do what he said!”

REALITY CHECK FOR FAITH IN KIDS AND UK PARENTS AND PASTORS

Living Out might be popular in the UK but it and Sam Allberry/ Ed Shaw’s activism and dishonest shell games with the American Church have fully discredited them in the US. Allberry became a key speaker with and darling of the now disreputable and exposed perversions of Ravi Zacharias and his RZM ministry .Allberry and Shaw repeatedly changed and removed their posting and social media and even altered the horrific language of their LGBTQ Inclusion Church Audit. Allberry EVEN had to present himself and his Living Out web pages content up for public review BY The Gospel Coalition and one of its progressive leaders Jonathan Leeman and provide disclosure -even submitting Living Out to an audit of its own and removal and much of its content after 6 years. This took place after it was revealed by slow but awakened Baptist pastor who had been promoting Living Out and Allberry but happened to take the time to research its content. By 2019 Allberry and Living Out were discredited in most circles of American Evangelicalism with the exception of those who only cared for full affirmation of LGBTQ rights in the church no matter how much deception and manipulations were taking place. There are people like that who do “self identify” as Christians -even as biblically orthodox but this would be by their own metrics not Gods or his word.

CONCLUSION – MILLSTONES AWAIT AROUND THE TWISTED PATH FOR LIVING OUT AND FAITH IN KIDS AND ALL WHO OFFEND THESE LITTLE ONES .

For those like Living Out and their new partnership with Faith in Kids -Some of Jesus most stern warnings come for those who would harm or offend or pervert the faith of His little ones.

LUKE 17

Jesus Warns of Offenses

17 Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no [a]offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should [b]offend one of these little ones.”

FRANCIS COLLINS BIO LOGOS USED TO PROMOTE COVID NARRATIVE SINCE PANDEMIC BEGAN.

TIM KELLER AND FRANCIS COLLINS HAVE BEEN SELLING THE SNAKE OIL OF TEMPLETON FOUNDATION TO MERGE FAITH AND SCIENCE / EVOLUTION AND CREATION FOR DECADES. NOW THEY DRIVE HOME COVID SCIENCE OF THE PANDEMIC INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

Rev Thomas Littleton

1/30/2022

Francis Collins now former head of NIH founded Bio Logos Foundation in 2007 to “further conversations” about resolving the conflicts of Christian Faith with modern “science” by focusing on a merger of Faith and Science at the alters of theistic evolution. According to a 2014 article Bio Logos had by that time reached an annual budget of over $9 million dollars and was promoting over 37 distinct projects ” in the United States and worldwide to help bridge the gap between traditional Christian beliefs on Intelligent Design and modern theories of evolution”

( Note :Creation Care aka Climate Change , psychology, black holes, social sciences and a broad based “religion” interfaith approach are also favorite topics of Bio Logos. Christian apologetics have also been overrun with this effort. )

“Many people today, both secular and Christian, want us to believe that science and religion cannot live together. Not only is this untrue, but we believe that a thoughtful dialogue between science and faith is essential for engaging the hearts and minds of individuals today. BioLogos provides an important first step towards that end.”Tim Keller, Pastor & Author

“BioLogos affirms evolutionary creation as a core commitment”

FUNDING FOR BIO LOGOS IS FROM TEMPLETON FOUNDATION

Our Vision & Purpose

“Our vision is to become a global catalyst for discoveries that contribute to human flourishing.”

“Our purpose is to enable people to create lives of purpose and meaning.”

Our Impact

“The work supported by the John Templeton Foundation crosses disciplinary, religious, and geographical boundaries. We fund work on subjects ranging from black holes and evolution to creativity, forgiveness, and free will. We also encourage civil, informed dialogue among scientists, philosophers, theologians, and the public at large.”

“Our grantees produce field-leading scholarship across the sciences, theology, and philosophy. From probing gravitational waves to updating the modern evolutionary synthesis, they have contributed to major discoveries in the basic sciences. Other grantees have opened critical new topics to scientific investigation, including prayer, gratitude, immortality, and imagination.”

COLLINS EVEN WON THE TEMPLETON PRIZE FOR 2020

“My name is Deborah Haarsma. I’m an astronomer and President of BioLogos.

“I am thrilled to congratulate Dr. Francis Collins on receiving the Templeton Prize.”

“Francis is well deserving. He’s a world class scientist, devout Christian, caring doctor, and public servant.  I’m honored to call him a friend. We both love science and math, like second order differential equations… But I want to focus on the impact Francis has had on others. Think of the many patients who have been healed because of his genomics research. Think of the countless lives that will be saved by the coming COVID vaccine. And think of all those whose hearts and minds have been changed on science and faith.”

Templeton thinks Collins work is worthy of the highest praise especially in light of the then “coming vaccines”.

BioLogos Public Engagement: Inviting The Church And The World To See The Harmony Between Science And Biblical Faith

“In the summer of 2016, BioLogos further expanded its range of activities by launching a speakers program: BioLogos Voices. Funded by a $1.7 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation.”

BIO LOGOS AT EVANGELICAL THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY

“The goal is to equip leaders to bring critical conversations about science and faith to new audiences. The grant also provides opportunities for BioLogos staff, such as Applegate, to represent the organization at major annual conventions, such as the Evangelical Theological Society’s annual meeting.”

COVID COMES CALLING -EVANGELICAL LEADERS JOIN THE GLOBAL CHORUS TO KEEP THE FOLD IN CHECK.

A bit of ethical reservation could have prevented a host of evangelicals from joining the now exposed Collins and Fauci in the narratives of the Pandemic Industrial Complex. But never mind ethics on the part of guys like Ed Stetzer, Rick Warren, Russell Moore, Walter Kim (NAE) and others INCLUDING BIO LOGOS from jumping on board the “Covid Collaborative ” and joining in with dark money from Facebook and other organizers and collaborators who would play a key role in hiding facts and suppressing the exchange of information even as Collins and Fauci faced the hard realities of their role in “gain of function” funding, and behind the scenes emails to select what “Science ” is made available for public consumption…including for Christians BY so called Christian leaders.

BIO LOGOS 2020 REPORT BOAST OF THEIR COVID FOCUS AND WORK .

“Of the many needs in 2020, one of
the biggest was squarely in the
mission of BioLogos: to address the
polarization and misinformation
swirling around the science of
COVID (even in Christian circles!).
We met the moment by bringing
reliable scientific information from
a thoughtful biblical perspective—
and hundreds of thousands joined
us, sharing our many virtual events,
and signing our Christian
Statement on Science for Pandemic
Times.”

PANDEMIC RISING AND THE BIO LOGOS FOCUS SHIFTS TO COVID TALKING POINTS AND FIGHTING “MISNFORMATION “.

In total, BioLogos virtual
events in 2020 were viewed
over 280,000 times.
THEMES
Following Christ in a Pandemic-
Science & Faith in Pandemic Times
Where is God in a Pandemic?
Black Lives in Science and Faith
A Christian Response to Coronavirus

“In August of 2020, and in response to
polarization and rampant
misinformation around COVID-19,
BioLogos announced “A Christian
Statement on Science for Pandemic
Times.” We invited dozens of Christian
leaders to publicly show the biblical
basis and broad Christian support for
taking the scientific findings about
COVID-19 seriously.
Those who signed and shared included
author Philip Yancey, theologian N.T.
Wright, and Walter Kim, the President of
the National Association of Evangelicals,
among many other key figures.
Overall, more than 8,000 signed the
statement, which earned considerable
media attention.”

“In 2020, the generous support
from our individual & church
donors went up 119% from 2019
while support from foundations
increased by 98%. Of each gift
received, 77% went directly to
programs that benefit pastors,
scientists, students, and
families. The remaining gifts
supported our core mission
through administration and
fundraising.
At the end of 2020, BioLogos
had a net asset balance of $3M.
Of this amount, $1.9M is from
multi-year grants and
designated for programs in
future years. Cash reserves
continue to be strong, allowing
for continued stability through
uncertain economic conditions
in the coming year.”

PROMOTING THE COVID JAB FOR CHRISTMAS

A MULTITUDE OF EVANGELICAL LEADERS ARE JOINING IN ON PANDEMIC FUNDING AND PROMOTION OF DISTURBING NARRATIVES.

CONCLUSION:

Bio Logos has sought to prime Christians to place more faith in scientific trends and politics than in the Word of God. Some have been trained now to subject the Bible to these agenda driven trends. Templeton’s , whose funding is behind Bio Logos, agenda is not only to promote the diversion of trust in the name of Christian faith BUT to only promote religions who “adhere or subscribe to no sacred text”. Since 2007 it has remained the head of the spear in Christian circles for this controversial effort. Now the Pandemic reveals how dangerous and tainted this long term effort can be.

Many key evangelical leaders seem determined to remain lockstep with “Global Goals” sustainability , Covid’s new global controls, climate change, massive (planned) human migration in the name of refugees, SOGI false information for sexuality and gender, racial unrest driven by CRT and a host of other progressive political dream agendas including luring Christians to subject Biblical Faith to theoretical and even politicized “science”. Now as more of the truth unfolds and rises above all efforts to refuse it a hearing – these leaders can no longer convince any thinking Christian who reads the Word of God that following these destructive and oppressive goals is anything akin to the work of the Gospel. Jesus is NOT a global activist nor is His “Good News” a tool for global politics or oppression of the truth.

Instead beloved-

Proverbs 23:23 “Buy the truth, and do not sell it,
Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.”
