I am currently studying the books of Samuel. Western civilization reminds me very much of Israel in the early days of the book.

God is indeed at work, but the population is lost. The priests, sons of Eli--Hophni and Phineas--do not even know Yahweh. They use the ark of God as a good luck charm in their battles, but they don't know Him or have regard for his law. They steal from the coffers of the church and make prostitutes of women.

Slowly, quietly, God advances and does what he wants. But we are like the time of the judges--which is the time in which Samuel was born--men in this day are doing "whatever seems best" to them. And the leadership of God's people (see: this Anglican priest, for instance) is waning.

Pray for revival.

God moved the election last year. Let us not rest on our laurels, though. Don't make Scripture an amulet or a rabbit's foot. Turn our hearts and minds back to Him with sincerity.

This kind of news is distressing, but it is not the end of the story.

Who is he addressing the prayer to? Satan, I assume.

Empty blasphemous prayers. A conscience seared.

Prayers for his safety and may anyone grooming him to be so be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied to them.

Someone needs to make sure that this cleric doesn’t have access to four-year-old boys.

What do you expect from a “religion” expressly created and sole reason for existence was so an adulterous king could get an annulment of his valid marriage?

A religion founded on the principles of expediency, convenience, and cowardice.

Why not go all the way to praying that he become a Muslim truck bomber and blow up Westminster Abbey?

Something tells me that this minister would be very interested personally in that happening.

"Western civilization reminds me very much of Israel in the early days of the book."

It reminds me even more of Judah in the times of King Manasseh. See 2 Kings 21.9

What these people are trying to create is an atmosphere where it will be unacceptable to be heterosexual.

The leadership of the Episcopal Church are in the process of committing communal(pun intended) suicide, and appear to be doing an outstanding job of it, for once.

“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”

Luke 17:2

the four soils parable

Mat 13:4  And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

Parable explained.

Mat 13:19  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 

So the birds are ministers of Satan

The parable of the muster seed.

Mat 13:31  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:  Mat 13:32  Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. 

This guy is one of the birds.

This laughable beta male is making a bid to be the False Prophet, but I just can’t see this emasculated poofter calling down fire from heaven.
