THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS PURE MADNESS!

The Entertainment Industry, which includes both movie

(Hollywood) and music, is the bane of our society today.

These industries have introduced our teenagers and young

adults to immorality which will take only the grace of God to

curb. You cannot even imagine what goes through the minds

of our young people who idolize these ‘CELEBRITIES’.

In a bid to either impress, prove a point or just be weird, these

‘celebrities’ have taken fashion to the extreme. Their brand

of fashion includes ,but not limited to, body exposure, tattoo’s,

and other crazy styles.

 I have always told people that the easiest way to know

what God hates is to simply observe what the world loves!

This may sound strange to some, but this is the TRUTH. Jesus

said,” Love not the world, neither the things that are in the

world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is

not in him. For all that is in this world, the lust of the flesh,

The lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father

but of the world (1 John 2:15-16).

 Below are some other nasty pictures you would love to hate,
otherwise how else can one explain this unpresedented and satanic
 body exposure and total disregard for human dignity.

But please endeavor to pray for them for they know not what

they do!

DO YOU BELIEVE RAY BOLTZ IS GAY?



Ray Boltz, who sold about 4.5 million records before retiring from Christian music a few years ago, came out of the closet Friday to announce that he's gay.

In an interview with the gay magazine The Washington Blade, Boltz said he came out to his family and some close friends in December 2004, but only now decided to go public with the news.

"I'd denied it ever since I was a kid," Boltz, 55, told the magazine. "I became a Christian, I thought that was the way to deal with this and I prayed hard and tried for 30-some years and then at the end, I was just going, 'I'm still gay. I know I am.' And I just got to the place where I couldn't take it anymore — when I was going through all this darkness, I thought, 'Just end this.' "

One reason Boltz decided to come out now might be because he's performing Sunday at Jesus Metropolitan Community Church in Indianapolis, and then next Sunday, Sept. 21, at the Metropolitan Community Church of Washington, D.C. Both congregations are a part of a denomination that embraces the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community.

Boltz is perhaps best known for his song "Thank You," about a dream in which a Christian thanks the Sunday school teacher who led him to Jesus. It was the GMA song of the year in 1990. Other Boltz hits include "Watch the Lamb," "The Anchor Holds," and "I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb."

Boltz also told The Blade that he doesn't want to get into debates about Scripture and has no plans to "go into First Baptist or an Assembly of God church and run in there and say, 'I'm gay and you need to love me anyway.' "

For him, the decision to come out is much more personal.

"This is what it really comes down to," he says. "If this is the way God made me, then this is the way I'm going to live. It's not like God made me this way and he'll send me to hell if I am who he created me to be — I really feel closer to God because I no longer hate myself."

Earlier, Boltz had alluded to the issue on his official website, saying that if people "knew who I really was, I would never be accepted."

 

XTIAN'S LET'S WAKE UP & INTERCEDE FOR THE CHURCH!

Islamic State militants seized control of the "Christian capital of Iraq,” Qaraqosh, and nearby Christian villages last night. The land grab sent has sent an estimatedone-fourth of Iraq's remaining Christians fleeing.

"An exodus, a real via crucis ... [Christians] are walking on foot in Iraq's searing summer heat towards [salvation in] the Kurdish cities of Erbil, Duhok and Soulaymiyia, the sick, the elderly, infants and pregnant women among them," a regional Christian leader told AsiaNews. "They are facing a humanitarian catastrophe and a real risk of genocide. They need food, water and shelter."

Qaraqosh, Iraq's most-populous Christian city at 50,000 people, is in the province of Ninevah, 18 miles southeast of Mosul, where CT recently reported the Islamist takeover of Iraq's second-largest city. The move brings IS (formerly ISIS) on theborder of Kurdish territory. (The Telegraph maps where Christians are concentrated in Iraq in relation to other religious groups, and The Guardian mapswhere the militants have control of the region.)

Bishop Joseph Tomas, of the Kurdish city Kirkuk, said the IS offensive started on Wednesday with attacks on Qaraqosh and four other villages: Tilkaif, Bartella, Karamless, and Alqosh. The militants held complete control of the villages by Thursday, reports the Associated Press.

“All Christian villages are now empty,” said Bishop Tomas. Already, IS militants have taken down crosses on churches and burned church manuscripts, according to the BBC.

The AP reports that IS has also overtaken the Mosul Dam, Iraq’s largest dam and a central resource for the country’s water and power.

As IS militants continue their sweep of northern Iraq toward the capital of the Kurdish region, tens of thousands of Christians are on the run, trying to avoid the IS ultimatum given in Mosul and other areas: convert, pay a protection tax, leave, or die.

Thousands of Iraqis fled to the mountains after the predominantly Yazidi (another religious minority) town of Sinjar fell, where they have no food and water. Open Doors reports that 45 children have already died of thirst as Kurdish troops have no way of getting to the stranded refugees.

Pope Francis has appealed to the international community to aid Iraqi Christians as they flee the harsh conditions:

“[O]ur brothers and sisters are persecuted, they are pushed out, forced to leave their homes without the opportunity to take anything with them,” said Pope Francis, according to the statement. “To these families and to these people I would like to express my closeness and my steadfast prayer. Dearest brothers and sisters so persecuted, I know how much you suffer, I know that you are deprived of everything. I am with you in your faith in Him who conquered evil!”

The United States's U.N. ambassador, Samantha Power, condemned the IS’s attacks.

CO-HABITATION- IS IT RIGHT BEFORE GOD?

 

Are couples who live together MARRIED before God? http://monthlyyouth.com/?ref=481837 An article in Psychology Today warned against couples living together prior to taking their marriage vows.   The article pointed out that couples who live with each other prior to marriage have double  the risk of getting a divorce versus those who do not. According to their findings, couples who cohabited before marriage generally had lower quality relationships and were less satisfied in the marriage than those who first got married and then started to live together. In spite of these observations, the article stated that 30 or 40 or so years ago living together was rare and still frowned upon by society. Today, however, millions of couples live with   each other without being married. "Some evidence indicates that women have less control  over the progress of the cohabiting relationship . . . Cohabiting men may carry their uncertainty forward into marriage, with destructive consequences." The article also quoted a study that found that men who lived with their mate BEFORE they  got married were generally less commitment to the relationship versus couples who did live together pre-marriage. The concept that couples living together who have sex are married before God is widely  believed in some religious circles. It has merit in the sense that the married state is a relationship initiated by the Creator and is His choice for all of mankind. Most cultures, indeed, are  predominantly monogamous - one man married to one woman, and for life. In a discussion on divorce, Jesus agreed with this, going on to say "What God has joined man should not separate" (Matthew 19:6). Note - not whom but what God has joined. The state of  marriage is God's choice, He ordained the marriage relationship. He does not individually enter into every marriage! All marriages in the divine economy are to be monogamous and for life. Increasingly, however, human frailty fails to comply - thus forfeiting the full value of the marriage relationship. Marriage is a coming together of a man and a woman to complete one another, to become "one flesh" (Genesis 2:24) - emotionally, intellectually, spiritually as well as sexually. Clearly the latter is important, for among God's initial instructions to the first couple was to "be fruitful and multiply." It is through the enlargement of the human race that God's purpose for humanity  is fulfilled - for we all have the potential to become sons and daughters of the Almighty. Marriage, then, is not to be taken lightly. This has been recognized through the millennia,  and, to 'cement' the union, it is usually surrounded by elaborate, public ceremony with commitment to permanence and enforced by social norms. The breakdown of this pattern, especially in the Western world, has contributed to the decadence and decay of our civilization. It can be seen, then, that sexual union by itself is far removed from an authentic - and Godly - marriage. The evidence above suggests mere cohabitation falls short on all counts. But what of fornication? The Greek word porneia is in the New Testament translated so. In  essence it is all forms of illicit sexual activity - in or out of marriage. (Any behavior that falls short of divine standards is 'illicit'.) Anyone who promiscuously persists in habitually having  multiple sexual partners is a 'fornicator' (elsewhere translated 'whoremonger'), and is until repentance excluded from God's Kingdom. When such practices are permanently abandoned, they can, in Christ, be forgiven. It is doubtful that a heterosexual couple in a stable cohabitation situation is guilty of 'fornication' - though it falls short of the glory of God, and does not reflect the divine purpose of commitment  to a life-long marriage. http://monthlyyouth.com/?ref=481837
