I think you’re right about the unpleasantness that lies ahead. It’d be difficult enough without Obama. But throw in a president who isn’t shy to demonize Christians or their beliefs and a media only too happy to propagandize his message, and it’s likely to be a rough road. There’s only one thing I can think of that Obama exels at. At that’s to foment a sense of injustice and injury among his special interests. I’ll be surprised if we don’t hear more remarks about the polarizing effects of Christianity similar to those he made in Europe last week.

“The reason Im scared is that the powers of the mass media and the state are lining up with the powers of the Culture of Death.”
Think of it as the Nazification of America. The descendants of Amalek are having a field day.

Of course, there’s also the fact that every evil thing Obama’s done, he’s started off by swearing he wasn’t going to do.

I believe that the fear that Fr. Longenecker is experiencing is the reason for the current popularity of zombie/apocalypse fiction. It’s selling like hotcakes on amazon.

I don’t know exactly what’s coming, but it’s going to be Old Testament in scope and nature.

Correctly written; no use of the word GAY when the meaning is HOMOSEXUAL.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.

Per pastor J.D. Farag, loosen your griip on this world. We are going to a much better place. God will take care of us. Have faith.

CWII-- this decision is close to the last straw in terms of wresting control of the law away from the American people in the service of monstrosity.
How long will it be before non-conforming churches are stripped of their tax exemption and then sued for 'discrimination' or 'civil-rights' violations?

They always have been.
The war is already won. The battle is on for every soul, because every single one matters.
As the time for His return nears things will decline for the losing side will become desperate as its end grows closer.

I don’t know if you’re Catholic or not ...
but even if you’re not, you’re on the same side as the author, here. He needs your prayers.
