Houston Pastor's Messages Subpeoned

It's hard to believe that in the land of the free and the home of the brave we have lost so many of our God given freedoms. Slowly the government has continued to erode the freedoms that our great country was built on. In Houston Texas the Mayor and City Council passed an ordinance that would allow a man who felt like he was a women to use the Ladies public restrooms and vice versus. That is in it self a disgusting, perverted ordinance that should have never seen the light of day. But wait it gets more ungodly! Some local pastors participated in the effort to get enough signatures to repeal the ordinance by speaking out and encouraging others to sign a petition. In response, the Mayor of Houston subpoenaed five local pastors. They were required to turn over their sermons and any other correspondence, including text messages. Under the Constitution of The United States of America we have the Bill Of Rights. The very first Amendment states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for redress of grievances." To tell Pastors they cannot speak for something or against something is to abridge their freedom of speech. This ordinance is a tool for the Government to discriminate against people who don't hold the same views as they do. It is the height of intolerance to treat these pastors as criminals and to threaten them with fines and imprisonment because they believe the Holy Bible. The Mayor and the City Council members who voted for this abomination have no place in public service. Over 50,000 signatures were signed on the petition to redress this ordinance. The city only requires 17,000 signatures for it to be put on the ballot but the City's attorney rejected the signatures. This is lawlessness. This would be a great case for the Department of Justice to get involved in. The attorney for the City of Houston should face criminal charges if it can be proved that the signatures were valid. In the book of  Acts chapter 4, the rulers of the Jewish legal system demanded Christians "not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus." (v18)  The disciples response was "Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." (vs 19-20) It is a sad day in America when one group who wants special rights is so intolerant to others who don't agree with them. Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:9 "Then shall they deliver you up ( take you to court) to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." We are fast approaching a day when mankind's desire for evil will reach such a point that anyone who tells them that what they are doing is a sin will be punished or maybe even killed.

Emma Watson's Feminist Check List

 Emma Watson spoke at the United Nations on gender equality. She is heading up a campaign called, #HeForShe, that encourages men to fight for and support equal rights for women. She said "we want to galvanise as many men and boys as possible to advocate for change". In order to accomplish that she had to try to erase the "man hater" image that many feminist expound to. The shocking thing about this speech is that, while Ms. Emma Watson gave four reasons that she is a feminist, the group at the United Nations was only enthused by one of the four points. Her first point was that women should have equal pay with their male co-workers. There was no applause. Her second point was that she, as a feminist, felt that women should have the right to do with their body what they wanted to. The place erupted with applause and cheering. She continued with her third point and that was that women should be involved in the policies and decisions that affected her life. Again, there was no applause. Her last point was that she should be afforded the same respect as men. Sadly, once again no applause. The United Nations crowd made it crystal clear that the only thing that they are really fighting for is the right to continue to kill the unborn child. The Christian community would agree with every point Ms. Watson made except abortion. Equal pay is just and right. Proverbs 11:1 "A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight."  God is displeased when people are taken advantage of and cheated. It is only right for women to be represented in the government just like any other member of  society. To be afforded the same respect is only fair and right. Christians have done more for the honor and respect that women deserve than any other group in the entire world. Ephesians 5:25 says "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" Christians love life and desire to see the most vulnerable and weak cared for and loved. The unborn is at the most defenseless state of any one in our society. The problem is that love is no longer at the heart of what people really want. We have become a selfish society. Anything or anyone that gets in our way needs to be removed. You do not get pregnant by eating popcorn. Most people realise what it takes to become pregnant. There are so many different choices you could make if you do not want a child. But after you are pregnant there is only one choice and that is to love and care for the child with all your heart. If feminism means supporting abortion you are never going to win God fearing people to your point of view.
