Various Newspaper Articles Selected from 2020

 

 

 A Win for Women  

 

    To argue that sex refers to biological sex and does not include “gender identity” has recently triumphed for women athletes – the U.S. Dept. of Ed. recently notified Franklin Pierce University that the Concerned Women for America won their suit to protect women athletes from transgender competitors (Cf. Breitbart news article posted by Penny Star, Oct. 17, 2020). Such is actually against women – it steals rightful awards and scholarships belonging to women. It appears this triumph is resounding throughout college sports! The article states “Title IX, which was passed into law 48 years ago to give women and girls equal opportunities in sports based on biological sex.”

 

   If it doesn’t fit with one then it doesn’t fit another – the foolishness of saying that a man can get pregnant doesn’t fit! Do you see politicians using lasciviousness to promote themselves? Do you want to go back to the strife over students’ bathrooms and showers of choice etc.? It doesn’t fit! 

 

  Our first amendment protects freedom of speech, applies to religious beliefs, and gives the right to assemble. The Bible presents the clear distinction of biological sex, male and female at creation (Gen. 1:27), and marriage between husband (male, bio. sex) and wife (female, bio. sex), Matt. 19:3-6, 9. Saying the practice of homosexuality is permitted by civil law is not the same as saying christians, and others, do not have the right to say religiously they believe it is sinful conduct. True christians believe and teach “all” works of the flesh identified in the New Testament are sinful (Cf. Rom. 1:24-32; I Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19-21; I Tim. 1:10).

 

 

Worry About Your Soul Today! 

 

      Mask! Lockdown! Hypocritical Governors! Destruction of Livelihoods! Atheism’s all present driving force behind Political Correctness! Liars blaming capitalism and whiteness for all man’s woes! Hating God’s Word while claiming real love! Promoting lascivious conduct even for children! The Liar who says you don’t need God! 

 

   PAUSE…now consider Jesus’ statement concerning the value your soul and its eternal well-being after this life, and that along with needed warnings and examples one of which is a “real person.” 

 

1. Statement: Mat 16:26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

 

2. Warning: Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

 

3. Parable of the fool who congratulates himself on his riches: Lk 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

 

4. Real Person who didn’t consider his own soul: Lk 16:23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Lk 16:24 "Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.'

 

5. Lesson: Do not think God will not do this to you if you ignore the value of your own soul?

 

 

AFRAID OF DYING? LOSING ALL?

 

      Flu Season Spike Fears! Politicians Controlling with Fears! The Government’s Continued Destruction of Livelihoods! Cancel Culture’s Hatred for and Scoffing at God’s Word! Men Through Covetousness & Bribes Serving Self & Material Riches! Things Men Highly Esteem That Are Despised by God!

 

   PAUSE…now consider Jesus’ statement concerning the value your soul and its eternal well-being after this life, and that along with needed warnings and examples of real persons.  

 

1. YOUR SOUL: Mat 16:26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

 

2. WARNING: Luk 12:15 And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."

 

3. IMPOSSIBILITY: Luk 16:13 “…You cannot serve God and mammon."

 

4. REAL PERSONS: Luk 16:14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him. Luk 16:15 And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

 

5. DIED UNPREPARED: The parable of the man who congratulates himself on his riches, Luk 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

6. THE LESSON: Do you not think God will say the same to you if your treasure in life is to esteem the things He despises?
