A truth to ponder....
LGBT Thought Police Are Here
Jul 22, 2018 by Rob Pue
I have just gone through quite a week, to say the least…. and more is coming my way. It seems when you speak the truth in our modern world, you become the hated of all men (and women). Case in point: my recent commentary here, entitled “Earnestly Contending for the Faith” received quite a bit of feedback. Mostly positive from people who understand what I was talking about… the need to EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH, breaking out of our “Churchianity” mindset and doing MORE than just attending church and feeling you have rendered your full and complete “Reasonable Service” to God.
I CONTENDED that “Contending for the Faith” involves WORK. And the work, as those of you who DO IT know, is not easy. I quoted from the book of Jude where we read, “…it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares… ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

We are in spiritual warfare, and more Christians should be standing up against spiritual wickedness in high places.
BE VOCAL.
Share your concerns with others.
"So I heard from some of the listeners after my last program. As I said, most listeners on VCY understand the situation of real spiritual warfare we are dealing with. Real DEMONIC influences, creeping in and twisting God’s Word, defiling and deceiving our people — young and old alike, but Satan especially targets our children. If he is unable to kill God’s image-bearers in the womb before they are born, then he will twist their minds into a hideous abomination."

Verse of the Day for Monday, July 23, 2018:
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." â Matthew 19:14
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
Jesus' love for children in an age when they weren't highly regarded is a powerful reminder. It is a reminder of God's love for what the world often abuses or abandons. We are called to love the unloved, the forgotten, the abused and neglected. Why? Because that is what Israel was in Egypt and that is what Jesus was at Calvary and that is what we were without grace (Romans 5:6-11). How can we claim to know salvation and not share it with others who need that grace!? How can we claim to be Jesus' disciples and not show love for those the world forgets?
My Prayer...
Father, I want to be more of a parent like you â a holy and loving parent to my own children and a tender parent to the forgotten children of today. Help me not only to be aroused by the neglect and abuse children suffer in my world, but to be moved to act in ways that bless them. In the name of Jesus, the great lover of all children I pray. Amen.

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, July 24, 2018:
Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. â Psalm 112:5
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
Generosity is love expressed in practical ways with joy. Generosity and justice are two character traits more needed in our selfish world. They come from a heart touched by grace and from a Father who is gracoius.
My Prayer...
Loving Father, I know I will meet people today who need me to be generous with my love, my time, my forgiveness and my money. Please help me to treat them fairly and with love, just as you have treated me. May my life reflect your grace to others who need your love. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

There are so many on OPP that continue to label our great country as a "democracy".
We are a Constitutional Republic.
It's merely mob rule(democracy) vs individual liberty(republic).
