Twas merely a passing phase...

By now, most know what the cancel culture is: Something you did in your past will be used to silence, stop, and “cancel” you. Whether it’s Mike Lindell, whose pillow company lost many retailers after he publicly questioned the election, or the CEO of Goya Foods, Bob Unanue, who upset people when he simply thanked President Trump, the cancel culture doesn’t tolerate opposing views. So much for being “tolerant.”
Do you see the irony? The cancel culture protects Cuties on Netflix and loves Cardi B lyrics, but they can’t stand Bible verses, worship songs, or views that oppose them. Dr. Seuss is bad, Dumbo is a racist, and Speedy Gonzales offends. Granted, things from the past may need to be changed from time to time, but if you focus on children’s books and cartoon characters and say nothing against child porn, human trafficking, little kids being intentionally confused about their gender, or the killing of innocent children in the womb, you’ve lost all credibility.
I am not especially surprised by the actions of the world. It is simply being true to its fallen nature. Rather, it’s the actions of the so-called church that are disturbing. In 2020, the cancel culture in the church became a reality for me. I was scheduled to speak at a church in Palos Verdes, California, but when the assistant pastor found out that my political views differed from his, he complained to the elders, and just like that, I was canceled — never mind the fact that my message didn’t even touch on politics. Listen to it here, and let me know if a church should cancel this type of message or if it’s exactly what we need to hear.
I received another surprise in May of 2020. I...

Yes. Christians should be boldly ministering at this time not hiding at home.
I am listening to the sermon now.
TRUTH.
Thank you for posting this absolute truth...our observations and heartbreak as well.
Imagine if anyone played Pat Boone's 1958 "Speedy Gonzales" on the radio!
"Ay, Rosita, come queek! Down at the cantina they give Green Stamps with tequila!"
No, no, no. The most horrible thing about the present-day Church is that many/most of those highly placed are openly gay. Practicing gays. Mind, outside the Church I don’t give a flip. But, to become a priest you have to take an oath of celibacy. That oath is to God. If youthen go break that oath I cannot trust anything you do or say under any circumstances. Why should I, if you are willing to break an oath with the BigGuy? If He can’t depend upon your word, why should I?
The biggest problem with the Church is that those in power do not believe. At all. On any level. They might as well be atheists. Not just non-believers, but actively working against the Church and all its members.
I heard that song on Sirius satellite radio recently.
I’m sure it will be pulled from their oldies rotation. I was surprised it was there, considering the cancel culture nowadays.
Yep, it’s bizarre and crazy out there.
We have drag queen story hours, and songs about a moist vagina, and that’s ok. Because to ban such things would be censorship and making value judgements. Censorship is criticized by liberals in some contexts, and they pride themselves on being non-judgemental .
But perish the thought that kids might get exposed to a Bible verse, then OMG, we need to censor such subversive ideas which might be found in The Bible. In such situations, the liberals are very judgemental. Go figure.
LOL
Just about every single Mexican restaurant in the country has on it’s lunch menu a choice called Speedy Gonzales. I think it’s a taco and enchilada for $5.95 or so.
Speedy Gonzalez
That come with beans?
Fundamental to the cancel culture is a lack of forgiveness for trespasses - ever. This is antithetical to Christianity.
I don’t remember. Go for lunch tomorrow and let me know
Good read ping.
The sermon on You Tube was powerful as well.

Many years ago the thought occurred to me that probably half or more of professed Christians do not actually believe the most basic tenets of their faith. And I think that has become increasingly obvious year after year, and especially among the clergy, and especially in the Catholic Church.

Yes, but only if you order a Corona!
Romans 1:18-32 sketches our exactly what is happening to a lot of ‘woke leaders’ in the so-called ‘church’.
They all have reprobate minds.
The RCC is going to have a massive succession soon IMHO.
I’m half Mexican and that stuff is funny as heck!
I miss the dang “yo quiero taco bell” chihuahua dog.
