Bless The Lord

Below I have managed to insert a YouTube video, of such an adorable child singing Bless the Lord

This video brings Joy to my heart every time I watch it, and I’m sure you will feel the same way

Bless the Lord for He has given us hope, in spite of all those who would silence Christian praise.

In spite of the increasing restrictions on Christians for preaching outside about homosexuality.

John Sherwood, 71, was led away in handcuffs, questioned in a police station and held overnight after being accused of making homophobic when all John did was to quote from the Bible defining marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman

Note: John is a preacher and is active in preaching the Gospel in the open air, it makes me wonder if someone from the gay community had been speaking out against Christians, using words like homophobic.

Would they have been arrested for hate speech?

Probably not, as they would claim the right to freedom of speech

While Christian churches have been forced into performing same-sex marriages by new laws, which takes away their freedom of choice

While Christians believe God gave us all the freedom of choice, we also believe that we should not abuse that freedom by enslaving ourselves to our selfish sinful desires

Bless the Lord for He has given us hope, in dying for our sins, He has freed us from our sin and our enslavement and He has freed us from the law, for none of us has been able to keep any part of His law

False Freedom

I have over the years watched many videos, some with those who claim to have been a Christian and then for assorted reasons “Broken free” their words

They attract many comments from others who have chosen what I call a false freedom

So who am I that I dare to call their seemingly new freedom false?

I am someone who had thought I was a Christian, not because of my parents although they were married in a church along with marriage vows

But rather through Sunday school attendance (which I was told about later on in my life

Sometime later when attending a local school, where they read passages from the Bible every morning along with

Sometime later when attending a local school, where they read passages from the Bible every morning along with Christian Hymns

In those days I had no reason to doubt any of the stories which were read, even though it wasn’t until the readings began in the New Testament

That I and other pupils were introduced to Jesus, even from the beginning of His story, I was totally enthralled with His character and words

In those simpler days, I was a true child of God, never doubting

But as I aged towards the teenager age, fleshly desires grew stronger and began to weaken my belief

Further on as the desires gained stronger hold, the enemy used others to spread his lies

One being that Jesus was gay since He only mixed with men including His disciples

This thought sidetracked me so well that I began to think I must also be gay too, adding yet another dark and perverted path for me to wander onto

This was well before the current “gender confusion” and the idea that you can choose and alter your own gender, whatever gender you may have been born

What I and others didn’t stop to think about, is the fact every child is the product of two parents, one male, and the other female, so it’s little wonder that we might feel a stronger attraction towards the opposite to which we were born

I like many others I invited excuses (Lies in disguise) “I’m only human, I need some pleasure in my life” “I’m not hurting anybody” “It’s my body, and nobody else’s business what I do” and many more other excuses
