     A question that has been floating about for some time now is "Are Christians losing the Battle"?  The battle meaning simply this:  Are Christians changing their way of thinking so much that they have strayed away from true Biblical teachings and turning toward a mentality of "anything goes as long as it prospers"?  I certainly believe this is not only a current trend but one that will come to pass by the years end.  When one puts together all the different signs that are so  very prevalent in the world today, I do not believe we can accept anything else is happening than that so-called "Christians" are changing rapidly into a bottomless pit of moral decay and biblical rejection.  "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:" Amos 8:11

     Let's take a look at some of the signs we  have seen recently right here in our own country. 

• The USA which was founded on Christians principles is now treating the gay and lesbian lifestyle as though it is a "God Given Right" instead of a an abomination to God as explains to us in the Bible (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, 1 Corinthians 6:9).

• Huge Corporations like Pepsi sponsoring gay rights.  Pepsi is just one of the companies who support the gay/lesbian agenda but is probably the largest of the lot to do so.  Pepsi has evidently decided that the gay/lesbian community is now large enough to warrant the decision for economical reasons.  There is evidently BIG money to be made through sales to the gay/lesbian community.

• Many cities including Chicago, Illinois have held Gay Rights celebrations and parades which has given authenticity to the gay/lesbian rights agenda.

• Television and movies depicting gay couples and the gay lifestyle

• Many schools across America are now promoting cross dressing days in the public schools. (crossdressing.html)

• Musical groups are being formed by gay/lesbians more now than ever across many countries including America.  This acceptance by the music industry gives credence to the gay/lesbian agenda. (Jason & DeMarco)

• Internet access has helped to promote the gay/lesbian agenda maybe more than any other outlet.  If you Google "gay rights" you will find the following: Results 1 - 10 of about 34,500,000 for gay rights.  That's right!  More than 34 million hits concerning gay rights on the Internet. Gay rights groups have certainly taken advantage of the Internet to promote their agenda.

• Movies, movie stars and even television outlets like the giant news company CNN have joined to promote the gay/lesbian agenda. CNN has a news show on daily which is hosted by Anderson Cooper who is openly gay. More and more TV programs are depicting gay couples raising children and the network HGTV which broadcast different Real Estate buying programs are increasingly showing more and more gay/lesbian couples who are purchasing homes on their television program.

• Hate crime legislation is now being discussed on the floors of the U.S. House and Senate which would help to further the gay/lesbian rights agenda and which would also make it a crime for any Preacher or Church to openly discuss their opposition to the gay lifestyle.

• The  past few Presidents of the United States have opened many doors for the gay/lesbian groups including Presidents Clinton and Obama who have made it a high priority of theirs to do all they can for their gay/lesbians voter friends.

     What exactly has happened to implement such a change is truly hard to say for me.  I cannot pinpoint one particular thing that happened to begin the big movement which we are experiencing today.  I do know that I have personally seen men leave their wives and children to further their gay lifestyle and have seen the consequences that decision has created within the family, none of which was good.

     Where is this all heading one may ask?  I can without a doubt guarantee one thing which will come out of all this.  That God Almighty will reign supreme and will no doubt cast His judgment upon those living in the gay/lesbian lifestyle.  No-0ne escapes that Judgment from on High which we all are bound for.  I believe Satan has mastered a magnificent mental illusion in the minds of a lot of people as more and more I hear folks tell me that their is nothing wrong with the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender) lifestyle as they believe in the live and let live mentality.  that mentality is similar to the old saying about religion:  "I don't care what they believe as long as they don't try to shove it off on me".  I am sure many of you have heard that one before.  As we continue down this road of destruction we will be seeing more of LGBT agenda thrown upon us.  As new laws are passed and people continue to become less and less willing to stand for the true Word of God, this agenda will grow in size simply because more people are falling for the lies of Satan and accepting the "why can't we all just get along" syndrome.

     We as a Christian people must begin to take a stand for the Bible! We must be willing to offer ourselves to Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us where He may.  We have to forget about being bashful and ashamed to speak about the Bible and what it truly says and means.  We have to get out on the highways and bi-ways and spread the true Word before it is too late!  If we allow this current trend to continue we will find that our world, our life, our very existence will be threatened if not lost!

     So, will 2010 be the beginning or the end as we know it?  It all depends on us, those who honestly know and believe that we are followers of Christ and His Word!  We can sit by and watch it all fall or be a builder of the Kingdom.  The choice is ours!

This article only covers one aspect of the Battle. There will be more to come concerning this subject when I address other aspects of the Battle we are facing. Stay tuned for the next article.
