Normalizing pedophilia? No Way!

A new friend from Facebook sent me this message:

"A question William,
I have tried to share this message with others and no one has even recognized my posts.
William, my husband is a Psychologist and was not happy with the 1973 vote to "normalize" homosexuality.
The reality is that they are now working to "normaliaze" pedofillia.
Do you think you can get anyone to listen?
http://veneremurcernui.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/the-next-push-normalizing-pedophilia/ "



My comments :

The blog article that the link goes to; is specifically a Roman Catholic article pointing out the wrongs of normalizing pedophilia.
Although I am not a Roman Catholic I am glad that there are Catholics concerned about this issue.
Anytime, any group wants to normalize sexual child molestation (pedophilia) or any kind of child abuse;
it should be cause for all of us to be concerned.

In the linked article; a true comment states:
"40 years ago, many warned that the American Psychiatric Association’s “normalizing” of homosexuality would one day lead to efforts to “normalize” pedophilia, bestiality, etc. That day is now."

Also, the last two paragraphs in the linked blog article should be read by ALL who are concerned about this issue!

Jesus said;
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:6

I sent similar content to this post out to different yahoo chat groups and I posted it here on my blog for 3 reasons:

1. Jesus wants us to protect not offend and/or hurt children.
2. Like I said any time abuse of children is about to be normalized , we should be concerned.
3. I promised my Facebook friend I would help send this important message out!.

Please help me send this message out by reposting in other groups, copying and pasting it into e-mails
for you to send out to others by posting this information or at least the link in your blogs etc.

Remember the pedophiles are not the victims, the innocent children will become and some children already are the real victims!
I know that all or at least most of you reading this agree with what is in the link and agree with the content of this post.


Sincerely in Christ,
internet pastor Bill

Signs

For Signs of the End Times please read the 

Gospels of Jesus Christ; Matthew chapt. 24 and Mark chapt 13.

Many discuss, even debate over when Jesus is going to take us home if we happen alive when "the catching away" of true Christians" happen. That discussion is usually in relation to the time-table of the "Great Tribulation".

Whenever that is we need to be ready to suffer persecution for Jesus sake as well as to be faithful when things are too easy! God looks for faithfulness.

And of course do not believe "date-setters" because Jesus in the Bible told us no one knows the day or hour of His return. Only our Heavenly Father knows!

We can look at the signs Jesus talked about in what Matthew and Mark wrote and know that perhaps we are close to it.

Introduction to Pro-Life group

Terri_Schindler_Schiavo - In Remembrance: Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

The Terri_Schindler_Schiavo group was founded by Cody G. Carson. Brother Carson created this group in defense of Terri Schiavo's right to live. This was to aid Terri's family in their fight against her husband, Michael Schiavo, who was killing Terri legally through starvation and dehydration. Her struggle ended horrifically, and it was a tragic day in American History.

Since then this group has grown into a pro-life community educating, sharing news articles, expressing opinions etc. in defense of the right to live for:

the elderly

the homeless

those in comas

unborn children

the terminally ill

those misdiagnosed as brain dead

those with physical or mental handicaps

and any other classification that may become victims of the pro-death movement.

We are also against: abortion, assisted suicide,
Euthanasia (falsely called mercy killing), forced sterilization, etc.

We are a proactive group – not a hate group. We believe that those who have already had abortions, paid for them, gave permission for them, or performed them, are able to receive God’s forgiveness when they repent. These misguided people need the love and mercy of Christ in order for them to receive the forgiveness and the healing love which is only found through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

The description on the group's home-page was written by founder Cody G. Carson.
Below is the description for the group that you will find on the home page of
Terri_Schindler_Schiavo - In Remembrance: Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

Description.

The Death of Princess Schiavo

Once upon a time in America Land there was a dark fairytale. As police arrested those who tried to protect and serve her, Prince Harming murdered his damsel in distress with the High Court’s blessing. He took her unused medical fortune to provide for his replacement princess. Those with compassion were labeled as having a political motive. Those who killed her to push the pro-euthanasia agenda were hailed as merciful by the media.

Michael Schiavo (Prince Harming) turned down a ten million dollar offer to release Terri Schiavo. Her loving parents pleaded with the Justices for the right to care for their daughter in her time of need. They offered credible eyewitness testimony as to her true level of consciousness. However, illegal hearsay evidence had a louder voice in the courts.

The love and determination to “carry out her wishes” was plainly demonstrated by Prince Harming’s emotional abandonment, live-in mistress, denial of Terri’s updated brain scans, threats to fire nurses who attempted to rehabilitate her, and by hording the millions that were intended to help her recover. He also demonstrated his love by denying her family permission to be with her when she died. And, as a statement of his innocence, he insisted to have her body cremated so it could not later be exhumed for third party autopsy.

Because the Supreme Court assisted Michael Schiavo in his heroic battle against a brain damaged invalid, the credibility of the U.S. Justice System was lost in the eyes of the world. However, it was a price “the Left” was willing to pay to further devalue human life. All was happy in Leftwingville.

And they lived happily ever after? Not so….battle cries now ring out; from Capitol Hill to church pulpits, knights from the Religious Right regroup. This battle won’t end until “the pull-the-tube politicians” are un-seated, the Dread Judges have been impeached and Michael Schiavo has been jailed for murder.

Resurrection Sunday Message

Resurrection Sunday Message
By internet Pastor, Pastor William Mazzulla III

Though I am writing this for resurrection Sunday, it is a good message of hope for all at any and every time of the year.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25

Martha in that discussion said of her dead brother Lazarus; "Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days."

Martha thought Jesus was talking of someday but Jesus was a God of the now and still is the God of the now to meet our needs. Graves were often in caves, natural or carved out and blocked with a large stone, a boulder. So when Jesus told them to remove the stone she protested that by now Lazarus would smell bad . "He stinketh" the King James says.

A spiritual application would be that there are churches with false doctrine and just as dangerous compromising Pastors with compromising members and God would say fo those churches that they "stinketh"!

That is another whole message so let us get back to the literal meaning of this Bible incident.

Once they removed the stone Jesus prayed out loud to His Heavenly Father so that there would be no doubt as to why Lazarus came alive. Then Jesus just said 3 simple powerful words; "Lazarus, Come forth". Poor Lazarus bound up like an Egyptian mummy. He must have been hopping awkwardly, while struggling to breathe through his grave clothes in order to try to obey Jesus after death lost it's grip on his body.

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. John 11:44

Sometimes when God does a miracle He often leaves a part for us to do.

Jesus did many healings, miracles including raising the dead back to life. The greatest miracle is Jesus Christ's resurrection. Jesus was beaten for our healing (Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:24), suffered judgment oif God in our place dying for our sins and on the third day arose from the dead. This resurrection is proof that Jesus is God in the flesh (John 1:14, 1 Timothy 3:16)

As proof that He was the son of God, Jesus allowed others to worship Him. Often when they were healed or set free from demons, the person set free would worship Jesus. The final proof of Jesus being God was when he arose from the grave after 3 days.

As if that was not enough the resurrected Jesus Christ in the immediate days following the resurrection allowed others to worship Him. One time that stands out is when Thomas doubted and when Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared To Thomas, knowing Thomas's previous words was told by Jesus to put his hands in Jesus side and to feel the holes from the nails of the Cross. At that point Thomas worshiped Jesus as God and said my Lord and my God.

Jesus accepted Thomas's worship as He, Jesus, accepts your worship and my worship today and on into eternity.

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:29

So this blessed time of year or whenever you read this begin to believe in Jesus. If you already have a personal alive relationship with the living God, Jesus Christ, then pray to Him about the Holy Spirit increasing your faith so that you will believe even more!

Amen!

Part 1 Mark 4:35-41 - In the Boat, Out of the Boat, and a Ghost!

This message I verbally preached both parts as one sermon, I titled:
In the Boat, Out of the Boat, and a Ghost!

Then I did it as a Bible study via Yahoo Instant Messaging (YIM) for GPS Ministry (India).
Both times the sermon/study came out different so the one I post here will be the notes from the 2-part Yahoo Bible Study but not exactly the same as when I teach by chat because there might be questions and comments that go beyond my notes. Part 2 I thought I was also going to post tonight after teaching via yahoo to the staff at GPS Ministry but the staff was on holiday.
Instead I and Bishop Stephen fellowshipped via YIM.
Oh and the Ghost part you will not find out about until Part 2 of this message.

Anyway, enjoy Part 1 of this message.

Part 1 is:
Storms, Winds, Hurricanes and God's Plan

Should we call what we read in the Bible... Bible stories?
Think about it for a moment and I will tell you my answer.

while thinking about it turn to Mark 4:35

Childrens Bedtime stories and fairy tales are make believe stories
but the Bible is more then just stories.

They are Bible history, Bible incidents not just a story
More important, what we read in the Bible is Truth,
the Word of God and the Words of eternal Life.

-----------------------------------

One more thing my favorite translation is the Geneva Bible.
It is the same Bible That the Pilgrims carried over to America on the ship, the Mayflower. My next favorite is the King James Version. Both are more complete then many modern translations.
When in doubt of a meaning in your Bible, if it is a modern translation then look the verse up in the Geneva Bible or the KJV Bible.

Since King James Version is more common then the Geneva Bible, I am using the KJV.


Now onto the main lesson:

Title: Storms, Winds, Hurricanes and God's Plan

First scripture text
Mark 4:35-41

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them,
Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude,
they took him even as he was in the ship.
And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind,
and the waves beat into the ship,
so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:
and they awake him, and say unto him,
Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still.
And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them,
Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another,
What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?


35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them,
Let us pass over unto the other side.

36 And when they had sent away the multitude,
they took him even as he was in the ship.
And there were also with him other little ships.

Earlier in the day Jesus healed the sick cast out demons and taught the Word of God.
Many were following Jesus... some for the excitement of what they might have looked at as a show. But many did follow JESUS for the right reasons because of his teaching which is a good start. Most importantly we should follow Jesus and obey his teachings because He loved us to go to the Cross and even now is at the rioght hand of our Heaven Father praying for us.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind,
and the waves beat into the ship,
so that it was now full.

(Seismos = Greek word for earthquake, hurricane)
Earthquakes cause tides to rise suddenly like in a Tsunami except in this case the water was not pulling back again. Not until a certain thing happened.

Some scholars believe that this storm was so intense that it was from Satan trying to stop and kill Jesus. I think that is correct because the devil is the ruler over the powers of the air.
Of course we know that Lucifer could never stop Jesus.
Neither can the devil stop you
when you have Jesus in your life,
and are filled with God's Holy Spirit
and you are quick to repent of sin
and you are walking in obedience to God's Word.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:
and they awake him, and say unto him,
Master, carest thou not that we perish?

The disciples are fishermen and would have storms once in a while especially
since the storms do come up quickly in that area.
This storm seems to be like something they have never seen before.
By the time we get to the end of this Bible event
we will see that the disciples still did not yet realize who Jesus was.
So when they woke Jesus up this what they were actually implying:
"Jesus how come you are sleeping and not helping us bail out water.
Don't you care if we all drown?"

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still.

Jesus was telling the winds, the storm the waves "Peace be still, calm down, stop it"

Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
Normally even if it a wind and storm calms down then it will take some time for the seas and waves to calm down.
But at the command of Jesus all was calm and still!

40 And he said unto them,
Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

In the Greek he is using the same expression as Paul writing in one of his letters to Timothy where Timothy was told and we are told "not to have a Spirit of fear"
In fact the Greek for afraid is actually coward so Jesus was asking
"Why be such coward? Where is your faith"

May God grant us all faith in the hard times of our lifes.
Especially when we feel like we are in stormas and waves and winds are almost sinking us.
Even if it seems like Jesus is sleeping....
remember Jesus is in the boat with you and HE will make sure you get where He wants you.
Continue to have faith in God.

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another,
What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

They were more terrified now.
They did not expect that and almost could not believe what they just saw and experienced.

They began to realize that Jesus is more then just another Rabbi, more then just another godly teacher. Only God can do what Jesus just did... could it be?
Could being in Jesus presence actually be the presence of God.
Not knowing that Jesus is God in the flesh and not yet understanding....
caused them to be terrified and asked each other yet none were at this time ready to acknowledge Jesus as God and Messiah.



Come back for:
Part 2 :
A Second Storm - Another Faith Test
Probably it will be posted in a week or two.
It will be after I do this as a study with my friends in India.

3. A Thanks-Giving Christmas Carol

The turkey came into the kitchen looking disheveled and his feathers were all wilted and weathered.

"Looks like we are not having thanksgiving this year sister. He is so mangy looking and his feathers are falling off. I do not want a scared skinny looking turkey. I want something plump and with some meat on it."

The turkey overheard the conversation and went outside the courtyard in search of the biggest turkey he could find. He found one who was eating all the corn and hay in the yard out back. This one looked pretty good but it was not a turkey it was a over-sized chicken who was pregnant with chicks.

The Pastor got out his shot gun and wanted to shoot the best one there. The pitiful one looked him right in the eyes and said out loud in bird talk
"Shoot here. Shoot here."
The Pastor says
"I can not kill a bird who talks to me. that was a sin."
So the pastor went out in the field looking for more big turkeys to feed his guests of twenty nine,with all the trimmings.

Along came Al the skinny managing looking turkey, around his neck said
"Please shoot me. I want to die".
The pastor says
"Nope I do not want you Al, maybe next year."

Sister Marie came outside near the shed and said to Pastor.
"Pastor you can not kill all these birds,"
Pastor said "why?"
"Because they are all female chickens. Oh can you not see? No I guess not, Pastor will you please put on your bifocals and see that these are the most pathetic birds around. they be lucky if they laid any eggs."

So the motto of this story is:
"to please put your glasses on
and make sure God gives you a turkey instead of chickens!!"

Al was really the name called Albara she was an Italian chicken.

Linda of Florida







4. Scripture
for today

Matthew 25:34 - 40

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

4. Devotional


Thanksgiving Shoes
by Katrina L Wampler

We’ve all heard the song/story of the Christmas Shoes. Well, I have a story for you.

You’ve all read stories of my crazy kids. Raising the three of them on my own has been trying, painful, and joyful all in one breath. Each day brings new adventures, new trials, and new stories. Several years ago we were heading into the Summer months and it was time to get sandals for the kids. I was breaking a sweat just thinking of the dollars signs attached to each pair.

So we’re off to Wal-mart. The kids were excited and bouncing to the roof of the mini-van as we pulled into the parking lot. Through the sliding doors we go and they’re off to find the best pair…the coolest pair of sandals known to elementary school kids across the nation. (No doubt the most expensive pair known to single moms everywhere.)

We had to have spent the better part of an hour roaming up and down every…single….aisle of the Wal-mart shoe department. I’m secretly hiding in the women’s section counting my dollars and digging to the bottom of my Mary Poppin’s purse searching for every last dime I can conjure up..not to mention offering a few prayers to find a quarter on the ground somewhere.

“All right, we’re ready.” The announcement came in unison as my three little ones lined up with the biggest and most precious grins I’ve ever seen on them. Not that devilish grin they usually bare that means there’s a blood stain in the carpet somewhere. But a sweet..sweet smile of satisfaction. With great pride, they each held out their sandals. Much to my surprise, there were no flashing lights, no sounds and no holograms. Just plain, ordinary velcro sandals with the lowest price tag any each of them could find.

I cried all the way to the check out line. I didn’t have to give them the speech on “we don’t have a lot of money”…they understood that I’m doing the best I can with what I have and everything that glitters is not gold. They saved me enough money that we even stopped by McDonald’s to scour their dollar menu and tour the play-land for a bit.

It is one of most memorable times with my children. It was the moment I realized they had values and were selfless when it most counted. I’ve since seen those very values displayed among the holidays as my children have pooled their allowances together to give to someone less fortunate (since my children have somehow failed to catch on that we are among the ‘poor’.)

This year they have made the commitment to carry out such compassion and charity throughout an entire year to a ministry known as the Shiloh Lighthouse Ministry and their Project 2000. I hope you’ll take the time to check it out and see how this charity can fit into your holiday giving. Teaching our children the concept of giving is one of the most valuable lessons we can give them. The one concept my children and I live by is Matthew 25:45. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, whatever you do for the least of my people, you do also unto me.”

Obama won? Now What?

Obama won. Now What?

The Bible instructs us to pray for our rulers and leaders. If you liked Obama, pray for his success and if you did not like Obama pray that God will change Obama's heart to do what is best for America! One thing more thing, if President-elect Obama, as any president, makes mistakes that are bad for us and bad for America then he should still be opposed. Pray for him while opposing when needed! Kind of like "love the sinner while hating the sin"!

1 Timothy 2:1-3

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
