Kavanaugh Confirmed! Now What?

Yesterday was a great day in American history.  With the Senate confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court now has a real conservative majority. 

How big is this?  This could mean the end of Roe (the right to abortion), the reversal of Obergefell (the right to same-sex marriage), the reversal of Obamacare (the right to healthcare), and the triumph of religious liberty over the radical LGBT agenda.

For the past 75 years or so the Supreme Court has been ruled by radicals who despised the Constitution.  Rather than interpreting the law, they abused their power and created new laws.  They legislated from the bench by disregarding the language and intent of the Constitution, and by inventing new rights that are nowhere to be found in the Constitution (such as the right to abortion, sodomy, and same-sex marriage).

But with the addition of Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court will return to its original purpose -- interpreting the Constitution.  The new Supreme Court will not enforce the platform of the Republican Party.  Rather, it will enforce the Constitution, and leave the law-making to Congress and the states. 

How should we pray for the new Supreme Court?  When it comes to abortion, since the Constitution does not address the issue, we should pray that the United States Congress, or at least states will outlaw the abomination.  When these new anti-abortion laws are challenged, we should pray that the Supreme Court will uphold them. 

The Constitution also does not address same-sex marriage.  There is no Constitutional right to same-sex marriage.  Therefore we should pray that states will once again pass laws prohibiting same-sex marriage, and that the Court will uphold them. 

When it comes to religious liberty, this is something the Constitution does directly address, and both Congress and the states should pass new laws which protect people who believe in traditional Christian morals, and the traditional definition of marriage, from being discriminated against by federal, state, and local governments.  And we should pray that the Supreme Court will uphold these new protections. 

So for now, let's continue to remain civically engaged by praying for our government, and by electing conservative politicians who will stand up for life, religious liberty, limited government, and individual freedom.

And let's pray that conservative Republicans will maintain control of Congress this November.

Why You Shouldn't Be A Swiftie

America has gone Taylor Swift crazy!  Adoring fans even proudly refer to themselves as Swifties.  But if you are a Christian, and if you are a Christian parent, then there are good reasons why you shouldn't be a fan of Taylor Swift, and why you shouldn't let your daughter be a Swiftie.   Maybe you don't know about Taylor Swift beyond her music.  Take a look at this short list of things she has said and done recently.  If you can still enjoy singing along with her music, watching her videos, and paying big bucks for her concerts, I'm shocked.   She accused Donald Trump of “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency.”  Source She accused Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of being a “homophobic racist” and “Trump in a whig” in her Netflix documentary "Miss Americana."   Source She has publicly opposed state laws that protect children from irreversible transgender medical procedures, including hormone therapy and genital transmogrific

Should Christians Attend Gay Weddings?

Image
The well-known preacher Alistair Begg was recently dropped by the American Family Radio for advising Christians to attend gay weddings.  Is he right or wrong?  Well, let's talk about it.   Christians should NOT attend gay weddings.  Why?   First, a wedding is marriage ceremony (Merriam-Webster).  According to the Bible, marriage is the union of one man and one woman for a lifetime.  In other words, gay marriage is not actually marriage, and a gay wedding is not actually a wedding.  Therefore, it is impossible to attend gay weddings because according to the Bible they don't exist.   Second, a gay wedding is the celebration of a homosexual marriage.  The Bible says that homosexuality is a sin against God.   As Christians, we cannot celebrate what God condemns.   Third, we attend weddings to show our love for the people getting married.  However, does a Christian have to attend a gay wedding to show their gay friend that they love them?  Of course not.  Let's say that your no

Are We Approaching Armageddon?

The short answer is no.  For the longer answer, keep reading. When you hear the word, “Armageddon,” what comes to mind?  Many think of it as the final, catastrophic world war at the end of the world before Christ comes back.  “Prophecy experts” have always claimed that Armageddon was going to happen in their own generation.  They’ve always been wrong.   What does the Bible say about Armageddon?  The Bible only mentions the word Armageddon one time (Rev 16:16).  The context of the passage is not the end of the world, but the final destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, almost 2,000 years ago. In Revelation 16 we find the bowl judgments.  Seven angels pour out seven bowls of God's wrath.  One of the bowls is Armageddon.  To understand Armageddon, it is essential to understand the context of Revelation 16, which is about God's judgment on first century Jerusalem for rejecting the Messiah and instead worshiping the Roman emperor. What evidence is there that the seven bowl judgments are
