Pentagon to hold its first Gay Pride event
'Don't ask, don't tell' scrapped in September

WASHINGTON (CNN) -
The Department of Defense announced Thursday that it will be commemorating lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride later this month. The event will be the first of its kind for the Pentagon.

"The Defense Department is planning an LGBT Pride Month event for later this month," Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Laniez said in a statement issued Thursday.

Press Secretary George Little said senior Defense Department officials will take part in the event, but had no other details.

Just a year ago, a member of the military faced punishment or discharge if he or she admitted being homosexual, but last September the administration scrapped the policy known as "don't ask don't tell."

When the Lord is mocked, rejected and spit on, He leaves the room, and leaves men with their own desires; the Vacuum that was once light and love and purity is then filled with darkness, hate and foul corruption.

" And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies."

This is the end of the United States Armed Forces effective power. This shatters all of the Martial Pride we once possessed, and moral conviction of our military to do the right thing. We also have also sent an all female attack high-tech aircraft carrier out, to prove a political agenda, as this is.

I think this is just the veneer, the thin skin of the true motive of the left. I think that there is an attack upon every Foundation of American power with intent to destroy her from within. The core of every nation is it's families, and when the family disintegrates, so does the Nation.

Our National wealth is systematically decimated through contrived debt manufacture at obvious unsustainable levels. Gross violence is filling the land, and we continue to party, like blind drunkards at the open bar. Our children , dressed half-naked, have learned about sodomy and sex in first and second grade, as entirely natural.

There is a plague of lesbianism and homosexuality happening in our high schools today. They sometimes are given their own classes together, and on campus clubs.

Jesus has been driven out of the room; mocked as archaic and superstitious; hated and despised. Every level of our society is affected, and now, the pink brigade battles on.

God has chosen JUDGMENT and it has begun. It is being facilitated by our elected officials. It is the End of the American Dream, and it will end in an extended nightmare for all who live here. We will be defeated in war, and invaded by cruel occupiers. I believe that 100 million Americans will die in that world, and our society will be thrust backwards 1000 years.

I believe there will be a holy remnant here to see the Lord Jesus return, and be gathered by Him to join the Eternal Body in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I also believe that there will be suffering and hardship, and the need for the Heavenly mind-set to Believe and obey, no matter the cost, and to know that our deaths will be but a milli-second gate to Eternity with Jesus and His.

A "Gay Pride" event is simply a celebration that Satan wins along with themselves, and they will rejoice in whatever they desire and wherever they go. Obama's strategy is "In your Face"! Christian America. "We win."

As a former military soldier, this is very sad. There is a part of me that loves America, but there is a greater part of me that understands that our downfall is imminent, and the God's judgments are True and Right. It is very sobering.

And many in America still scoff at the idea that judgement is coming...

sermonindex Jun 15, 2012


I'm a bit dumb-struck by those that ask, "Why do you think we're in the end times?"

Months ago, the military not only lifted the ban on sodomy but in that same paper lifted the ban on beastialty.


We get only one day to honor Veterans, mothers, fathers, holy days but these people get the whole month of June as Gay Pride Month.

And then there's Israel's IDF http://www.idf.il/1283-15974-en/Dover.aspx


It is shocking to have a christian doubt that we're in those days and more troubling than reading the Daily News itself.

I do have one question that maybe one can answer, maybe not. My intent is not to gossip, slander, start a stone-throwing fiesta, cause division, etc., but to try to understand something:

I have not listened to the Piper message, but I'm sure it's really good. Much of his teaching/preaching/writing has blessed, encouraged, & exhorted me tremendously over the years.

I have not listened to the Rick Warren message, & don't intend to, but I have a good idea about the nature of the content based on his false teachings, ecumenicalism, etc.

So, my question is (& please refrain from answering if you have only hearsay, a critical spirit, no concrete facts, etc.): why/how was John Piper involving himself in co-mutual ministry activity with Rick Warren? Not trying to open a can of worms, or bring out all the new believers and their "opinions", or the Pharisees with hands full of stones, but I long to truly understand & not be grieved.

Brother,

The videos of John Piper and Rick Warren contrast two types of ministers. One is speaking bible truth by stating that homosexuality is the judgement of God as Romans 1 teaches. The other type of minister is one of compromise. While not openly endorsing homosexuality, they do not condemn it either.

John Piper has consistently spoken truth on these hard issues that most of the Church remains silent on, and Ricken Warren has compromised not wanting to offend his homosexual friends.

BrotherTom,

If we do not have a "Great Awakening" then your prediction will come true. Thank you for your straight forwardness.

May the Lord continue to bless you in your area of ministry.

Brother, you didn't understand my question. John Piper had a ministry conference WITH RICK WARREN as one of the speakers. In light of 2 John 1:9-11, who can help me understand/make sense of that? I know they are opposing views/doctrines completely polar to one another. SO, how/why could Piper hold a conference/speaking of co-ministry with Rick Warren?

Brother Jeff, the only answer I've pondered since then has been that we'd have to understand or know what a person that is a 7 pt Calvinist's eschatology is. That may be the clincher of what anyone has in common - and that goes for more than just these two men. I believe that will draw the line between how those that are called Christians will get along with one another in the days ahead and actually will split the church, much.


No, I'm not a doom and gloomer. The 'JOY' of The LORD is our Strength.

Well let's see, what's next...? A Man-Boy Love Association celebration at the Pentagon too, for generals and their 12 yr old lovers? A Swingers Convention? Adulterous Heterosexuals Month? Polygamist's Pride Event? Pentagon Prostitution Parade? Oh wait, that was the Secret Service....

Ok I give up, since I don't study Calvinism or Armenianism, or any other isms, (nor do I want to - God gave us His Word, which contains all we need for life & Godliness, eschatology, prophecy, etc.), I don't know what the eschatology of a 7 pt Calvinist is and how that explains this. I just know what 2 John 1:9-11 says: "he that abideth not in this doctrine....receive him not into your house, nor bid him God-speed. He who receiverh him becomes partaker in his evil deeds". So how does his theological belief in some ism allow him to cast aside the Word of God? And what does he believe that will allow him to cast aside Gods Word in this way?

Actually, I don't know what JP believes about the end times, but I do know that some believe preterism, partial preterism, dominionism, amillenialism, kingdom now - all of which are delusions of what the future holds and though there are other views of the latter times, many of these don't see things getting worse, but that they will make the days ahead better and then Christ Jesus will come.
RW is a do-gooder, supposedly in the name of this basic principle and is heavily involved with world governance.
I can't see how else these two could be connected doctrinally except for their world view that contradicts historic premillenialism - which holds that the prophesies of the end times are yet to be fulfilled and didn't already happen.
Don't have any further insight into JP's mind on why.
Don't really care what others are doing or saying anymore. Only those that He lays on my heart.
Jesus is LORD, being The Word of GOD. No one else.
Each man has to give an account for himself alone.
We only are accountable before Him to know what His Word says. We don't follow men, nor have time to worry about some of them. Not anymore.
His Peace cost Him far too much to give to us to waste on those out there. 1Thess 5:21 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." His Sheep know His Voice and won't follow another.
Maybe someone else could answer you better - if it really matters.

GOD Bless you with more and more of Himself.

I believe it does matter for the true church's sake and discernment. If you don't have any actual insight based on something said/done at this conference, it's OK,, but it does matter. I think It's a warning to test all things by the Word of God & the Spirit of Od which support/confirm one another. It's a warning for all to take heed when you stand, to stay connected daily to the vine & the Word no matter what else you do, & keep your eyes fixed on Jesus & let His Word alone be a lamp unto thy feet and a light unto thy path.

Oh silly me! It came sooner than i thought! "What's next" was revealed in the news tonight (AFTER my last post) when they announced that the Secret Service has now been exposed for having published pornography, not only soliciting prostitution.

Brother Jeff, I agree with you but both of these men were shown for what they believe here in the past, One for teaching that GOD is the author of our sin and the other covered in a countless number of threads, but their messages were both posted again after that.
That's when the LORD speaks to my heart and releases the burden for exactly what you posted because it's not my jurisdiction nor does the LORD lay it to my charge, once these issues have been extensively covered and then ignored, whether it be in a Church or on a Forum.
But you are right to try to protect His Lambs, but we've had to consider Titus 3:10 and the verse about your peace returning to you.


"I think It's a warning to test all things by the Word of God & the Spirit of God which support/confirm one another. It's a warning for all to take heed when you stand, to stay connected daily to the vine & the Word no matter what else you do, & keep your eyes fixed on Jesus & let His Word alone be a lamp unto thy feet and a light unto thy path."


I agree.

When I hear about Rick Warren, John Piper, Joel Olstein, or any other pastor being hauled to jail for preaching Romans 1:15-31 as God giving up the homosexual to a reprobate mind. I believe we will have an idea who is speaking truth

Jesus who is truth was put to death. The martyrs were slain because of the word of God. Believers are being slain because of their love for truth. Now are there any in N. America who are willing to speak the truth at whatever cost.

I believe laws exist in Canada and America that make it illegal to speak out against gays and lesbians. This is called hate crime. Thus for any believer, even in this forum, could be prosecuted for saying homosexuality is a sin. Is anyone aware of pastors currently jailed or fined for saying such.

Also I understand even the Bible could be banned as a hate crime book. It condemns homosexuality. An I off in in my thinking?

Bearmaster.
