Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

WHY MORE CHURCHES ARE SUDDENLY AFFIRMING SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

Why More Churches Are Suddenly Affirming Same-Sex Marriage

Popular Christian author Glennon Doyle Melton recently announced that she is dating Olympic gold medalist Abby Wambach. This news comes after inspirational author Elizabeth Gilbert of Eat, Pray, Love fame announced her romantic relationship with her female best friend. Two weeks ago, Christian author Jen Hatmaker and her pastor husband, Brandon, announced that they support same-sex marriage as well.

Unsurprisingly, the move to affirm same-sex marriage is affecting churches. For instance, First Baptist Church of Austin has adopted a "diversity statement" that welcomes members regardless of sexual orientation into "the full life of our community."

Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas announced last Monday that a majority of its members voted to open weddings, baby dedications, ordination and leadership positions to people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

With more and more Christian churches and public figures endorsing same-sex marriage, it might seem that those who do not go along will be left behind. But popularity must never be a test for truth. Conventional wisdom is often less than wise.

I am convinced for numerous reasons that God intends marriage to be a monogamous covenant between a man and a woman. Of course, this subject is much larger than I can address adequately in this brief article, so I invite you to download my white paper How to Defend Biblical Marriage: What You Need to Know About Homosexuality, Same-Sex Marriage and the Bible.

However, I do want to address one way many proponents of same-sex marriage have argued for their position. They claim that people in the biblical era did not know of monogamous, loving same-sex commitment or marriage, so the numerous biblical prohibitions against same-sex relations are irrelevant to such relationships.

But it is a fact that same-sex relations were common in the ancient world; homosexual marriage continued in the Roman Empire until it was made illegal in A.D. 342.

This is not a new issue for God's Word or God's people. Every time Scripture addresses same-sex relations, it prohibits them. First-century Christians were as countercultural in refusing to normalize such relationships as defenders of biblical marriage are today. Scripture is never irrelevant or misleading regarding the human condition. The God who made us knows what is best for us.

It is regrettable that some churches and Christians are affirming what the Bible prohibits. But we need also to remember this: Homosexual activity is not the unpardonable sin. We are all tempted sexually. All Christians and Christian churches are imperfect. And we are all loved by God unconditionally: "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8).

It is an amazing fact that the God who knows me better than anyone else does loves me more than anyone else does. He feels the same way about you.

My comments: "Christians" are affirming Same-Sex Marriage because of the Pressure of the Culture is putting upon them and mankind's propensity to Sin. In this Last of the Last Day of TIME, this is part of the APOSTASY Scripture has foretold. (Matthew 24:10; 2 Thessalonians 2:3; Daniel 8:12)
