I am
guessing once the SPLC, American Lefties and LGBTQ militants get wind of this
call for American spiritual revival call by the AFA; they will wet their
collective britches in a truth vs. spiritual delusion moment.

So readers, I’ve been using a seven year old laptop to fulfill the
old blogging habit. My lovely wife sprang for an upgrade.
I’m a relatively small-time blogger but with a consistently
growing readership despite some token censorship from the
liberal-oriented blog and social platforms.
Still looking to defray Christmas costs.
Whatever my readers can
chip in will be appreciated:

Pray for a Spiritual Revival in America

The LGBTQ
socio-political agenda seeks to replace God’s truth about human sexuality with
perversion as the societal norm. It has overtaken virtually every major
American institution. The entertainment world, corporate America, education,
and government have all been infiltrated by this rebellion against God. While
they have been wildly successful in these institutions, they will not be
satisfied until they have conquered the last one, the church.
Though they
have penetrated many mainline churches, their objective is not yet complete. In
many churches we have seen church discipline become a thing of the past. We
have watched churches — though some with good intentions to evangelize —
totally ignore the biblical mandate to equip the saints for ministry and God's
unchanging call to holiness for Christ followers. The love of God has been
twisted to manipulate the church into embracing all manner of wickedness. Yet,
the Scripture tells us that God's love does not delight in evil, but He
rejoices in the Truth.
Along with
other groups, AFA is working to restrain the perversion of sexuality pushed by
the LGBTQ agenda. We are grateful for the remnant of churches that have
maintained biblical fidelity concerning human sexuality with courage and
compassion. We applaud those which have resisted the assault of ungodly values
on biblical truths. But we can only play defense for so long.
We
desperately need a miracle, a Holy Spirit revival in America.
As the body
of Christ, let's be transparent. Let's take time to examine the log in our own
eye so we can effectively help our brother remove the spec from his eye. To restore
biblical morality in sexuality in the entertainment world, education,
government, and society at large, we must begin with the church repenting for
its rejection of God’s Word and returning to the proclamation of the whole
counsel of God with both grace and truth.
We, that is
AFA and you, must be ready to overcome Satan's continued efforts to deceive by
anticipating his tactics. We must study God's Word to show our selves approved,
we become workmen who have no need to be ashamed but who correctly handle and
share the Word of Truth. We need to be prepared to give a compassionate
biblical response when we are verbally persecuted for using the Bible as our
guide for life.
"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander" (1 Peter 3:15-16).
In addition
to this, we must pray, pray, pray! We urge you to examine yourself and pray
about how you may be more involved in this critical crossroad in our culture.
And we have resources for your use.
American
Family Studios has created a handful of tools to help you and your church
prepare to address this issue.
If our
mission resonates with you, please consider supporting our work financially with a tax-deductible donation.
The easiest way to do that is through online giving. It is easy to use, and
most of all, it is secure.
