“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem, or who will grieve for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?" Jeremiah 15:5... "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem ~ Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim...." May they prosper who love you." Psalm 122:6

Jimmy Carter on the other hand says the U.S. would be willing to elect a gay president “in the near future.”
Carter says, “I don’t know about the next election, but I think in the near future. Because step by step we have realized that this issue of homosexuality has the same adverse and progressive elements as when we dealt with the race issue 50 years ago." [Race Issue??]
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." Leviticus 20:13
"In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion." Romans 1:27
America now sits complacently in the position once held by Sodom and Gomorrah.
"And don't forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God's judgment." Jude 1:7
With a stroke of his pen, Obama will end the Pentagon's 17-year, "don't-ask, don't tell" policy.
We have been told what to do - sadly it appears few are willing to do it?
"If my people, which are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
What can make you whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Nothing can my sin erase -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
No good works can I preform
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
"When I see the blood, I will pass over you."—Exodus 12:13
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SAFE. "All the saints are in His hand;" and the hand of God is a place for safety, as well as a place of honour. Nothing can hurt the man who has made his refuge God. "Thou hast given commandment to save me," said David; and every believing child of God may say the same. Plague, famine, war, tempest,—all these have received commandment of God to save his people. Though the earth should rock beneath the feet of man, yet the Christian, may stand fast, and though the heavens should be rolled up, and the firmament should pass away like a scroll that is burned by fervent heat, yet need not a Christian fear; God's people shall be saved: if they cannot be saved under the heavens, they shall be saved in the heavens; if there be no safety for them in the time of trouble upon this solid earth, they shall be "caught up together with the Lord in the air, and so shall they be ever with the Lord," and ever safe.
Delivered on Sabbath Morning, December 12th, 1858, by the Reverend Charles H. Spurgeon

"We should make judgments based on the yardstick of righteousness as revealed in His Word. Judgments which look beyond mere appearance, judgments made with the right spirit. When Jesus said "Judge not, that you be not judged" [Matthew 7:1] He immediately shows what kind of judgement he is speaking of there. He obviously cannot mean that we must never make any kind of judgement at all, otherwise we would not be able to fulfil the exhortations of the Word in numerous places, such as being told never to let anyone deceive us. If only God can judge, then how will we be able to fulfil the Apostle John's command:
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world"
1 John 4:1
The judgements which the LORD forbids refers to a person who makes a judgement about another person when he himself is a practitioner of the very thing which he is judging in the other! That is hypocritical judgement, which is forbidden by the LORD. But the kind of judgement which builds up God's people, advising them of danger and outright falsehood is an absolute necessity." [Alan Morrison. Is It Right For Christians To Judge?]
If we as Christans do not begin to judge and punish evil within The Body as well as within our nation, instead of accepting all ideas and beliefs as equal, we will become a nation that welcomes same-sex marriage, polygamy, pedophilia, incest, euthanasia, sharia law and a host of moral aberrations that only the mind of evil man can conceive.

"Study to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15
The apostle John warned and exhorted Christians:
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." I John 4:1
When a pastor, preacher, televangelist, radio preachers, apostle or prophet places themselves above The Word of God, compromises on The Truth of the Word, thinks more highly of themselves than they ought - they are walking in sin. Compromise becomes easier and the voice of conscious less audible.
"For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith." Romans 12:3
Clearly, all Christians are called to judge righteously by using the Word of God as the plumb line for discerning truth from error.
There was a certain man, Simon, who had just become a believer, and after he had seen the gift of God that was given to the new believers he asked Peter and John if he could also have this gift of God by giving them money.
Peter answered Simon: "Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God." Acts 8:20
The Bible is clear, believers are led by the Holy Spirit, yet many preach before millions via television and radio claiming to be led by angels or through their contact with the dead spirits of Kathryn Kuhlman or Aimee Semple McPherson. Claiming error as truth, twisting the Word to conform it to their perverted theology, these "anointed of God" fleece the sheep both financially and spiritually making false claims they are incapable of satisfying, and the sheep encourage them by their lack of knowledge of the Word and their enthusiastic participation.
What must happen before the blind regain their sight, the deaf begin to hear and the church rises and truly becomes The Bride of Christ?
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32
