On the North Shore of the Saint Lawrence River near my home town of Baie Comeau, Quebec,
INTRODUCTION TO WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD?
Welcome to my web site! My name is David Cameron. I am a retired teacher who loves to write. In the articles on this site, I endeavour, for the most part, to contrast the hope that Christ gives to those who trust in Him for salvation, myself included, with the hopelessness imparted to most people by the vain philosophies and the false religions of this present world.
News Flash! News Flash! Just the other day, after his fiasco in India (HL), our illustrious Prime Minister made a proclamation regarding the proper pronouns to be used by front-line government workers in Canada - him, her, mother, father, etc. are out. New words are in. Being a fervent follower of his, I am about to cross off a number of those words from my dictionary, and replace them by the words that he has suggested to use in their place. I hang on to his every word. This man, having been a nightclub bouncer, a boxer and an elementary school teacher, knows better than all of the wise men from millennia past; and he looks real cool in a skinny suit. The latter is all that really matters today. After all, he probably has a B.A. from Know-It-All University. He now has the franchise on truth. Just kidding of course.
However I could not resist the temptation to mention his latest pronunciations here right in the introduction to my web site. If you are a Canadian, hang your head. If you are an American, you can see how absolutely loony your Northern neighbour has become. Our excuse for a P.M. has made the above recommendations related to the pronouns to be used when referring to the gender of the one(s) that you are addressing. One must be careful about being inclusive and tolerant nowadays. This guy is off the deep end. It's all over. Shut the lights off. Here is the link: Justine Trudeau has lost it (HL). His wife is cut from the same cloth.
Most everyone has their own way of interpreting everything that goes on around them in the world. It is for sure that my hope is not placed in politicians - not in Presidents - not in Prime Ministers - nor in university professors with their grandiose philosophies - nor in the innate "goodness of man". Nevertheless, I firmly believe that it is still possible, in spite of all of the present chaos and lunacy, for individuals to be optimistic about the future and to have a stable anchor for their souls. There is hope - my friend - but it is only to be found in Christ. He still has everything under control. You can read the "last chapter of the Book" and know how it all ends. As for this present time, there is no other secure foundation for one's life than on Him (1 Corinthians 3:11). All others foundations will surely crumble like sand.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
You will soon see that what is written on this site comes from a unique, seldom heard from, perspective. At times what I write is rather harsh, but so is the truth. Political correctness is definitely not a concern of mine. I really don't care if I am going against the flow, and if I "hurt some feelings" as I do it. My overriding concern in this brief life is to please God by rescuing as many as I can from hell. My lens for making sense of this changing world around me is His Word, the Bible - nothing else.
The Signs Of The Times
This site has become a means for me to vent about some of the contro-versial issues in this mixed up topsy turvy world. Some comments will be rather negative, but I truly believe that peace and justice are on the way. Many of the prophets never hesitated to say it as it was, so why shouldn't I? My name is not Joel Osteen. A better, and very positive world is eventually going to come, and I look forward to it. Do you want to be one of its citizens? There is much reason to believe that your name is already in the Book of Life. Christ already paid the price for this. He died for all. Only you can cause it to be blotted out. A better world will only happen after Jesus returns. My citizenship in this kingdom has already been purchased, and it's not because of anything good that I have done.
Motives for Massacres
Today is February 16/18; the day after an atrocious mass shooting in a Southern Florida high school. All of the usual politicians and other experts are parading out in front of the cameras, giving their take on the motivations held by the young man who committed these despicab-le murders. As I write this commentary 17 lives have been lost. I'll give you my take on this incident, and what motivated it. The source of the problem is primarily spiritual.
#1. America, and Canada, have collectively lost their souls many decades ago. It is almost as if the flood gates have now been completely thrown open to every kind of demon spirit in existence. What is right has now become wrong, and what is wrong has now become right. Psalm 12:8 adequately expresses the spirit in our countries today: "The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest of men are exalted." The internet has facilitated the spread of this evil spirit, just like the human blood stream metastasizes cancer.
#2. The nuclear family is in the process of falling apart. Fathers and mothers have abandoned their responsibilities towards their children and have pursued their own selfish goals. Consequently children are being left by themselves, or to professionals, to establish their moral framework. Christian churches have become innocuous entertainment centres afraid to dispense the sharp biblical truth that they should be teaching. The internet and the public school system are very poor substitutes. There is no doubt in my mind that the obvious moral vacuum in a young man like Nicholas Cruz, the most recent murderer, can be extrapolated back to his original parents, and to their lack of loving care for him. Someone seriously "dropped the ball". He basically was orphaned and left on his own. Destroy the family, and society consequently degenerates into chaos. The most stable family unit is one that is based on Scriptural principles. It is the only secure foundation for a stable peaceful society.
#3. As a retired high school teacher, I always keep coming back to another fundamental reason why events like the most recent one occur: If a child is taught that they are a mere highly evolved animal, then they will behave accordingly, with no regard for human life, but their own. History, from the time of Charles Darwin have shown this to be the case. Evolutionism has "evolved" into a religion that teaches that there is no such thing as evil? Do whatever is necessary to "meet your needs" - "Survival of the fittest". In addition to downgrading human dignity, it has racism built in to its foundational document: On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection or The Preserva-tion of the Favoured Races in the Struggle for life? How can we expect different results than those which we are witnessing in society when our public education system constantly keeps feeding young people this nihilistic garbage? Insanity could be defined as the process of using the same methods over and over and expecting different results. If children are taught that they are merely smarter animals, then why should anyone be surprised when some of them act that scenario out?
In addition to all of this, the Bible, in Jeremiah 17:9, tells us that "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" Consequently, the unregenerate heart of man, which only God can directly see and change, is capable of anything. A belief in evolution will only facilitate, energize and justify inhuman actions like that committed by the recent gunman in Florida.
We Have Entered Perilous Times
In in all of my 73 years on this earth, I have never seen it to be in such a precarious state of upheaval - huge devastating wildfires in California - destructive back-t0-back hurricanes on the South-East coast of the U.S.A. - Islamic terrorism everywhere - nuclear war threats from North Korea - the normalization of sexual perversion of every kind in the West - seemingly irreversible political chaos verging on civil war in America and in Europe - families in turmoil everywhere due to infidelity and the ensuing widespread divorce - the relentless abortion holocaust - the drug epidemic in Western countries - toothless churches having left their first love to become innocuous entertainment centres, and the list of unprecedented events is endless. If I was not a believer in Christ, and in His Word, I would be very apprehensive. However, I am very excited as I look towards the future. We live in unprecedented times. Tremendous opportunities lie before us. What a time to live in! The fields are ripe.
The great apostle Paul predicted these times when he penned 2 Timothy 3: 1-7:
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Do You Have A Solid Anchor?
Please bear with me in this rather lengthy intro as I briefly touch on a number of topics that concern me. Some apply specifically to Bible believers, while others are just general interest topics.
Being in my seventies, I will never change from who I am; except, hopefully, to become more useful to my Lord and Saviour - Jesus Christ. As this world increasingly tries to alter my views on various issues, it has only increased my resolve and my passion to go against the flow, and to stick to an unchanging scriptural frame of reference. I do not know how anyone can cope with the challenges of life without the hope, the guidance and the stability that God's Word gives. Is there really any other secure anchor? It is for sure that science and human intelligence will never provide us with confidence in the future. Time has shown us that efforts of this nature have proven to be fruitless. If anything, that is a good reason why the world is in its present state of hopelessness. In this context, I am reminded of the words of Simon Peter as recorded in John's Gospel Chapter #6 verse 68: "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life." At that time, many followers of Jesus were in the process of departing from following Him in response to His puzzling message about the necessity of eating the flesh of the bread from heaven. Their fickle "feeling were hurt". They didn't realize that He was using figurative language relating to His mission as the sacrificial Lamb of God. (To the Jews, Jesus spoke in cryptic language on purpose so that their cold hearts would not understand. To His disciples however, He spoke clearly.) When we, by faith, accept His self-sacrifice for our sins, we are in effect consuming His flesh and blood. This action alone can save us from eternal damnation.
I pray that what is written here can be a benefit to you as you try to navigate through these turbulent times.
This writer acknowledges the he is far from perfect
You will have to cope with the oddd misssteake in spellingk and in graammarr that may have slippppd by. Add to these personal errors, the fact that computer writing programs try to anticipate the word that you have just started to compose while you are still in the process of composing it. Consequently an unrelated word may have inadvertently been added here or there. It happens to me often, especially when I am composing texts or emails.
Please forgive me if I may not have used all of the accepted guidelines for a formal type of essay, with the correct fonts, footnotes, colours, underlining, indentations, etc. I taught physics, not English, during my career. Regardless, I keep going over my articles again and again trying to make them as readable and as flowing as is possible.
Straining at a gnat while swallowing a camel
The following is an old story. A short while ago there was another crisis in Syria as America bombed an airbase with cruise missiles. This action was precipitated by the gassing of Syrian children, apparently by Bashar al-Assad. President Trump was provoked to action by viewing videos of this atrocity - a wounded young child in the arms of his anguished parents.
Regardless of who is at fault for this atrocity however, this action brings into sharp focus the contrast with another much more severe child-related issue here at home. By showing outrage at events in Syria (which are horrendous), America and Canada are thereby revealing themselves to be colossal hypocrites. How can one purport to care about children who are being gassed and burned in Syria, and yet not appear to give a hoot about the ongoing holocaust going on in most Western nations? Multiple thousands - millions - of helpless innocent human lives in the womb are being poisoned, burned, mutilated, dismembered and even ground up in our abortion mills and in our hospitals annually. Who knows what the products of abortion are used for? Vaccina-tions maybe? Why aren't the evil feminist witches who are at the forefront of this awful ongoing atrocity expeditiously brought to justice and, yes, even given the death penalty for what they have done, and what they are still doing? The gullible public has been led to believe that a woman is thereby exercising the right over "her own body" as she commits this evil act. Are these people not a quantum leap above the evil of the current dictator in Syria? Something is amiss here. Some day, hopefully soon, justice will prevail. There is a judgement coming. It is called The Great White Throne Judgement. You don't want to be there. It is recorded in Revelation 20:11-15. America is no longer the squeaky clean country that she pretends to be - neither are we in Canada. At one time in the past, I was naive enough to believe this... not now. There is not much left for us to be proud of. We are living on the fumes of the past.
We live in perilous times - folks
While perusing the news headlines on the net not long ago, I ran into this particular news clip. The link is at the bottom of this paragraph. A group of young people exposed the evil workings of Planned Parenthood and the baby parts trade. This evil organization, highly revered by liberals, so epitomizes the spirit of immoral nihilism prevalent in the world today. There was a time not long ago when people like this were the exception - now they are in power. I had already seen a related video a few years ago. I believe that the producers of this clandestine video, not the perpetrators of these crimes, were brought to court for their undercover expositions. Typical of modern-day justice, the good guys were treated as the bad guys. I believe that they are currently being sued for taking the video. What I saw brought me to tears. These brave young people took an enormous risk by interviewing prominent abortionists by stealth, as they were enjoying a sumptious meal at their facilities. The administrators of this abortiary were callusly discussing the sale of "baby parts" obtained from abortions performed in their facilities. One would think, based on their "professional demeanor" and their detach-ed attitude, that these evil people were talking about the used auto parts business - discussing the sale of fuel injectors, brake pads or alternators. Their time is coming. God will not forget their evil deeds.
Buried in one of the clips, a young nurse gives graphic details concerning what she was told to do during an abortion on a full term, still living, child. It is heart wrenching! I doubt that the infamous Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele (HL) was even this heartless. For some reason, all of their filming has now been released to the public. If you still think that we, in the USA and Canada, are not soon headed for God's judgement, then watch this clip, if you still can, at this link (HL).
In the light of what you have just seen, is it still appropriate to pray: "God bless America", or "God bless Canada"? I firmly believe that we are long past the point of no return. I no longer intercede with God for my country. It is too far gone.
_________________________________________________
As you may already know, in the remainder of this article, and in my other articles, hyperlinks are denoted by placing them in bold print, underlined and including an (HL). If you click on them, they should work. The odd one may have expired. They are my "footnotes". I hope that you don't mind if the font is a bit bigger in most of my articles than the standard used in web site articles. If you are like me, it is a bit easier to read.
One major sign of the times
There are various other issues in our modern world that have pushed their way on to the centre stage. They are all linked. One of them in particular, a prominent social one, has weaselled its way up from the gutter in the past 50 years or so; starting in the rebellious 60's - the issue of the "gay life style" - It has moved from perverted to celebrated in a very short time. If we ever get to look back at the history of our present era, this will be considered to have been a major revolution - a significant part of the putrefaction of Western countries. We, in Canada in particular, are at the forefront of this movement; having accepted this liberal "progressive" philosophy hook-line-and-sinker.
Just recently a Canadian Liberal politician was interviewed on Fox News by Tucker Carlson (HL). The guest, straight from the looney bin, was explaining the latest acronym for the "Gay" lesbian etc. crowd. Get ready...You won't believe it... It is now LGGBDTTTIQAAP. I kid you not! Just when I thought that this group had reached its apex, then this comes along.
Incidentally, do you know the meaning of LGBTQ? Let God burn them quickly.
As a nation, God will judge us harshly for our capitulation to this decrepit group (Matthew 25:32). Pierre Elliott Trudeau, a vile man and the father of our present Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, gave this movement its impetus. I am sure that he is in hell right now.
We have "progressed" quite a distance down this decrepit road from the 60's. As a prime example, check out the following video (HL) about the current trend of men "transitioning" to women and then competing against females in various sports. No words can express my utter revulsion and my disgust at this trend. This is one of a number of reasons why my interest in competitive sports, especially in the Olympics, is over. Our liberal dominated society, which gave rise to this lunacy, is like a wild horse that has escaped from its paddock, and gone into the boundless plains where it will never be corralled again.
Where did this insane garbage come from?
As recent history is examined, we can see how this modern "free spirit" movement obtained its impetus. It's primary source, I believe, is to be found in the philosophy of the "rationalists" who fuelled the French Revolution (HL), with their corrupt anti-God relative moralistic ideas. Of course the influence of the ancient Greek philosophers, most who were homosexual pedophiles (HL), can also be seen in the mix. These French revolutionaries justifiably rebelled against the overpowering apostate Roman Catholic Church and the aloft French monarchy in the latter 1700's. Instead of moving, however, towards the morality, the social justice, and the stabilizing influence of the Bible, these rebels moved their society in the exact opposite direction. Unfortunately this present world is still being influenced by these diabolical atheistic ideologues. They ended up by being even more evil than the corrupt powers that they replaced.
I am sure that these same philosophers are also at the root of a social belief system called progressivism. I was exposed to it at university while studying to be a teacher. ( This link (HL) will give a good example of how those in control of the internet are thoroughly progressive. It is for sure that they are not objective. Please excuse the language.) This year of university was a total waste of my time and money. I encountered it while studying a course called “the philosophy of education”. One cannot watch a news program today without running headlong into one of its many prominent issues after but a few minutes.
At this time I will take the liberty to construct a new word which I believe so epitomizes the moral guidance system of this modern era. That word is "phobosophy" - the fear of wisdom. Its many practitioners are "phobosophers". Philosophy, on the other hand, means the love of wisdom. Today, real wisdom, which begins with a healthy fear of God, is a are commodity.
Rotten fruit from a rotten root
One issue in particular that defines the times that we live in is the issue of sodomy, or what is more commonly known as homosexuality. The group that is defined by this particular practice has become the darling of the academia and of the media; especially in Canada. If you hear the word diversity today, you know that it is an allusion to this group. Consequently the government at various levels has been totally taken over by it. Accordingly, one can hate anything else, but not them. While real Bible-believing Christians and climate change deniers are fair game, do not even think of expressing dislike for this precious group of reprobates, or for their abominable practices. You will instantly be accused of "hate speech".
The following link is an example of the indoctrination that is going on in our public school (HL). You will notice that the "gay" vice principal in this video referred to a baby in the womb as a mere "collection of cells". Sounds to me like he is also a devote follower of the religion called Evolutionism. I believe that this loudmouth has since been fired.
The same sages that tell us that children can choose their gender after birth, and that it is a subjective choice, will out of the other side of their mouths say that one's "sexual orientation", i.e. LGBTQ..., is genetically predetermined. They also teach that gender is a spectrum. Is this the kind of illogical garbage that many university profs are getting big bucks for?
I really think that it is time to shut off the lights, put the chairs away, and tell everyone in the humanities departments of these institutions to go home and spend their money on training for a real job. Of course, fire all the professors also.
Actions have consequences
"Gays" are now at the top in Canada's new caste system, and we are probably very typical of most Western democracies. They have become the tail that wags the dog - the small rudder that steers the ship. No one is free from their long tentacles. This country still believes the seriously flawed 60's Kinsey study (HL) which erroneously concluded that 10% of the population of any “advanced” Western country was “gay”. The real numbers are somewhere between 1% and 2%. Nevertheless, they have infiltrated the echelons of power everywhere. It is no wonder that they have done this because most of them have no children, and there-fore can expend all of their wealth and their energy on them-selves and on their perverted cause. They perpetuate their pernicious ways by preying on young people. That is their only means of propagation.
Bible-believing born-again believers, who are busy, like many other normal parents, raising their families, are, of course at the bottom of the new pecking order. They are tolerated, as long as they keep their mouths shut and pay their taxes. The state claims to have the right to indoctrinate their children in progressive pro-sodomy doctrines using the public school system. These parents are being extremely careless by allowing their kids to stay in it.
The psalm writer mentions this spirit of rebellion in Psalm 2:
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
There is a Day coming when all accounts will be settled. There will be no endless appeals in this court. The sentences will be final and irrevocable.
There are immutable laws in every realm
In the same way that there are immutable laws in science/physics, I also firmly believe there are immutable laws laid down by God in the spiritual/moral realm. Obeying these laws will not get a person to heaven; only placing one's faith in the substitutionary work of Christ on Calvary, where He shed His innocent blood as the Lamb of God, will accomplish that. However, observance of the moral laws laid down by God will at the least make for better citizens in any society; thus creating relative stability - a societal order in which it will be possible to have the liberty to raise good families and to live at peace with one another. Deny it or not; as goes the family, so goes society and civilization. If present trends continue, and the family is redefined by progressives, we will very soon end up with widespread tyranny - like a wild survival-of-the-fittest jungle. The hand-writing is on the wall.
God's plan is still being carried out
God has not changed. He is the same in these New Testament times as He was during Old Testament times. As the Scriptures say, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13: 8). He is the Most Holy God. He is the only God - existing in three distinct persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is also a God to be feared. He will only tolerate this kind of rebellion for so long. Soon He will in effect say, "Time's up! Accounts must be settled!" At that time, men will cry out for the rocks to cover them from His oncoming wrath.
Bible-believing Christians understand that the Old Testament Jewish laws relating to the various sacrifices and other ceremonial priestly practices have been done away with by the coming of Christ; the Ultimate Sacrifice. God's moral law however, has not changed. Christians also must still abide by it. He knew the rebellious nature of fallen man and consequently set his boundaries, which can only be defied at his peril.
There are rewards for obeying the natural law laid down by God. Conversely, there are grave consequences for defying them. His judgement concerning the practice of sodomy especially has not changed from ancient times. Both in this life and in the future lake of fire, the penalty will be paid - forever. See Genesis 13: 13 (HL), Leviticus 20: 13 (HL) and Romans 1: 24-32 (HL). It was an abomination back in Old Testament times, and it still is today. As much as man is trying to change it, he cannot and will not change the natural law established by God.
Western society will soon have to pay the bill
In the last half century or so our society, in Western countries in particular, has gone totally off the rails. Men have assumed women's roles and vice versa. Both husbands and wives have become the bread-winners. The traditional God-established order in families - God - Father - Mother - Children - has been dissolved. There is no family life left to speak of. Even our once thriving churches have lost their leadership roles in this area in particular. They are too afraid to speak the truth with boldness. The love of sports has taken over. Hardly anyone even goes to church any more, let alone believes in the God of the Bible. One of my former students kidded us in the coffee shop a short time ago when he saw my wife and I dressed up in our good clothes on Sunday. In jest he asked us if we were going to an Amway meeting. I answered him that we were going to a One Way meeting.
The role of bringing up the children in our society has now gone to professional surrogates. Mom and Dad are too busy with their separate careers. Consequently the average number of children in a family in the West has long gone below the minimum number required for replenishment. What is it at now...1.3 or 1.4; or maybe even lower? Many modern couples do not even have children. They, millennials especially, have huge ornate houses full of fancy furniture, toys, boats and expensive pets, but hardly any kids to enjoy them. They have their hearts fixed on monetary investments. Spiritual investments are not even on their radar screens. I observe this first hand when I go door-to-door in their neighbourhoods with the Gospel of Jesus Christ (No. I am not a J(F)W or a Mormon - Just an ordinary Bible-believing follower of Jesus Christ, doing what He told us to do.). Tragically I encounter many young millennials who don't give a hoot about their spiritual well-being. Parents have become extremely selfish, not willing to sacrifice for the next generation, nor for eternity.
As a society, we are beginning to reap the fruits of our labours. Have you ever seen more wild looking kids roaming our streets as now? Most of them have I-phone "soothers" in their hands. They cannot be without them. They sit in restaurants texting, rather than in commun-icating directly with anyone. Public school teachers have their hands full with children who are devoid of the most basic fundamentals of an orderly society such as respect for authority.
Another foreign religious way of life is waiting in the wings to replace this generation. It has no scruples about having families with 8, or 10, even 12 children. I does not need a numerical majority to take over. Mark my words, if Christ does not return before then, this group will take over our countries. It is as inevitable as water running down hill, or more appropriately, as air rushing in to fill up a vacuum.
Public Education is speeding up the process
God has not changed regarding human sexuality and the use for which it was intended. We are already reaping the "benefits" from the widespread acceptance of, and even the promotion of, fornication and adultery. Students in our public schools are definitely not discouraged from becoming sexually active as soon as they have reached puberty. If they are going to be promiscuous, which the majority of our entertain-ment led young people undoubtedly will, then they are told to practice "safe sex" - as if such a thing exists. The media reenforces this behav-iour. Lately even our childlike androgynous sensitive skinny jeaned man-bunned safe-spaced university students - snow flakes - are being taught that acting and reacting like normal males is wrong. They must all act like females, and vice versa. By saying this, I am not condoning boorish behaviour. There is a price attached to all of this utter garbage - one that its practitioners may spend the rest their lives paying off.
As a direct consequence of feminism, a very large segment of our society is ether divorced, two or three times, or living in adulterous relationships. Even teenagers of the opposite sex are living together while going to high school - with the school's blessing. No one will convince me that this is good and that it promotes stability. For that matter, a good portion of our public school staffs are "shacked up" or divorced.
A crazy analogy that only a physics teacher would make
I cannot help drawing analogies between the God-established laws of physics in the physical realm and His established moral laws in the spiritual realm.
For example, let us consider the interplay of forces between the particles within the nucleus of an atom. There are repulsive electrical forces, that under certain conditions, would blast the atomic nucleus into smaller parts, and even cause the same reaction, under certain conditions, to happen in other nuclei (a chain reaction). Then there are extremely strong attractive forces between adjacent particles in the atom's nucleus which hold it together. Whenever the distance between adjacent nucleons exceeds a predetermined critical distance, these forces will quickly switch from attraction to repulsion, or vice versa. If these forces are kept in balance, a stable array of elements can exist which sustain life of all kinds on earth. If a critical mass of fissil material is reached in a conglomeration of these atoms, then a cataclysmic explosion will happen in which a tremendously large amount of energy is released according to E = mc^2. So, within the building blocks of matter we have the potential for destructive chaos or constructive order.
Now let us consider a similar case in the moral realm. Sex was created by God as a strong natural compulsion/attraction in order for any species to procreate and to bind together. If humans use it in the way God intended, it will bond husbands and wives together in a wonderful way that will lead to the formation and the maintenance of strong stable families. This, in turn will, lead to a stable society. If, on the other hand, sex is treated without any moral restrictions (i.e. sex-at-distance, or "safe sex"), then this behaviour will lead to utter chaos in society. Sex will repel rather than hold together. Structure will break down. Families will break up. We can see this process happening in our society today.
This is what the West is presently experiencing. We are learning that God's laws, in every realm, are immutable. There are wonderful rewards for obeying them and grave consequences for ignoring them.
God always has a plan
Our God has not "gone soft" on any sins because we are in the "Age of Grace". He has not turned His focus away from sin." He still hates it. Incidentally, God's grace has always been available to men by faith since the Garden of Eden. Sorry Mr. Cyrus Scofield. Sorry Mr. Clarence Larkin. Sorry Mr. John Darby. Your dispensationalism doctrine is religious baloney. It has always been The Age of Grace. Whoever, by faith, called on the Name of the Lord thousands of years ago was saved. Abraham did. Isaac did. Jacob did. David did... Whoever does the same thing by faith today is also saved. God’s plan is the same now as it was away back then.
It all started after God killed animals in the garden and used their skins as coverings for Adam and Eve, and it continued on through the Jewish sacrificial system. All of these blood sacrifices merely pointed forward to the Ultimate Sacrifice. These offerings had no efficacious power in themselves. Strict obedience to the Law, which is really not possible, could not justify a person then, nor can it now. The Law only brought man's sin nature into sharp focus. The death of the perfect flawless Lamb of God atoned for the sins of man from the Fall, and right up until He returns again to this earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Bible says that He was slain from the foundation of the world (Rev 13: 8). One must turn to Him for forgiveness. This is our only hope. Please take advantage of His offer and believe in Him while the offer is still in effect. The Day is coming, my friend, when that door shall be forever shut.
Today, of course, we know better than everyone that preceded us
It is only in recent times that sodomy, a term that is never even used any more, has been changed in the public mind to become whole-some, mainstream and celebrated. I hope that you realize that this particular sin got its name from that old city called Sodom that God destroyed with fire and brimstone. Read about it for yourself directly in the Bible - starting at Genesis Chapter 18 verse 20 right up to Chapter 19 verse 28 (HL). There are many other Scriptures that reveal God’s revulsion at these acts. Now do you still think that God takes this sin lightly? Has He changed from Old Testament times? He cannot because He is immutable. Is He impressed by the fact that we are now in the "Age of Reason"? Like many other once despicable practices, it has been given the "alternate life style" coverup. The media, which is so quick to promote this grievous sin, will never show the outcome of men like my cousin David who had an enormous potential. Typical of many who live this way, he died a horrific premature death in his early 50's due to AIDS.
No "gay pride" pressure, with their special "pride" days, weeks, months, years, flags or parades, will ever change my opinion, or that of my family, on this putrid and repulsive practice or "death style". Their parades are revolting. They are really "Days of Shame". It was an outstanding sin against society in the past, and it still hasn't changed - because neither the moral law nor the Lawmaker have changed. Incorporating it into society as an accepted "life style" is comparable to replacing mortar with manure between the bricks in a structure, and then expecting it to be stable. This is what the government in my country of Canada, influenced by our leftist universities and by the out of control media, has done to us socially. Consequently, it is with shame that I say that I am a Canadian. As I write these few changes to this article, Canada has just is celebrated her 150 anniversary. Due to the above-mentioned changes, this event no longer means anything to me.
Two things that just do not make sense
Canada's Liberal Government has opened its arms to Muslim immigr-ants from the Middle East, irregardless of their country of origin. They cannot bring in enough of them. Even our small town has Syrian Muslim immigrants. There is no denying that the countries that these people come from do not espouse our Western liberal "values"; especially as they relate to sexual behaviour and to homosexuality. I stand to be corrected, but doesn't their Qur'an directly teach against this practice? Doesn't the average Muslim claim to believe in their "holy book". Hasn't this same book inspired ISIL soldiers, good Muslims, to throw "gays" and lesbians to their deaths from high rise buildings on to the concrete below, and then to stone them if they are not yet dead? Saudi Arabia (HL), the "friend" of the West, does likewise, even worse. You would not believe what goes on behind closed doors in their society. It would be interesting to see what the average Muslim immigrant believes on this subject. Our government is probably afraid to ask them. I have quit looking for sanity in our federal government. I repeat: As a country, we are hopeless.
Canada, my country, bows to the LGBQ++ crowd
I must make a sad admission about a country that I was once proud of - Canada. Not too long ago our illustrious Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, was present at the raising of the "rainbow flag" on parliament Hill (HL). He also proudly led "Gay Pride" parades in Vancouver and Toronto. It is for sure that he is picking up the torch from his mentor, former President Obama. I am ashamed of him for this and for many other reasons. Even my old high school has a permanent rainbow flag hoisted next to the Canadian flag.
It is inevitable that the "Conservative" Party of Canada will also officially join with other lunatics in the "gay" affirming bandwagon. One can already see this downward trend as various candidates compete for the leadership of this party. What a liberal once was, a conservative now is. What a radical socialist was, a liberal now is. What a communist was, an NDP now is. This is a prime example of the social 2nd Law of Thermodynamics in action on the national political scene. Are any God-fearing politicians left? We have made a quantum shift to the left. Consequently, I have my doubts that I will ever vote again in any future election. And, I have voted in every election - provincial and federal - since I reached the voting age. My ballot will be destroyed. It would be meaningless anyway.
The present mayor of Toronto, Mayor Tory, a "conservative", also marched in the most recent recent "gay pride" parade. This man once considered running for the leadership of the provincial Conservative (Tory) Party. "Conservatives" of this kind also call themselves "progressives". This is just one more event that has dissipated my dwindling pride in this country. Its politics no longer interest me. I find them repulsive.
I can no longer sing our national anthem with genuine affection, like I once could - and my dad was a WW2 veteran. The maple leaf flag no longer arouses patriotic passion in me. Progressives from all of our political parties have once and for all killed my love of country, and that may not be a bad thing. I have come to believe that nationalism, for believers especially, may even be a type of idolatry. Regardless, my hope and my affection, like Abraham's, is now totally directed towards an eternal city, and to another country, whose builder and maker is God.
The Scriptures tell us:
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14: 34)
Spiritual Global Disruption Prophesied
As one now looks at the spiritual state of this world however, there has also been a pronounced increase in another form of global disruption - a global disruption in the traditional social order in general - especially in Western countries - a moral disruption. This unprecedented state, at least for Canada, was predicted long ago by the Apostle Paul as he was inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is recorded in 2 Timothy 3:1-7 (HL). Those perilous times are here, my friend.
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
These are revolutionary times
Elsewhere in the world of social dynamics and morality, there is also chaos. What once was right is now wrong. What once was wrong is now right. Bad is good, and good is bad. Truth has become lies and lies have become the truth. Pride is shame and shame is pride. Gay once meant light hearted - not today. A person today can even be brought before a judge for their inner thoughts. What once was repugnant is now celebrated. Whores are now respected "workers in the sex trade". It is almost as if the present generation is trying to relive the spirit of the French Revolution. It wouldn't surprise me if sometime soon they even tried to restructure the week again and make it into ten days instead of seven, like the weird French revolutionaries that went before them. Nothing surprises me any more; even the reinstitution of the gillotine. We are for sure setting the stage for the entrance of the Anti-Christ with his know-it-all entourage.
A bit of hyperbole
Our universities at one time were perveyors of rationalism. At least this is what I once thought when I attended A few of these institutions (6 years) many millennia ago. For the most part, today they have become the exact opposite. They are run by fools. I would never spend a penny of my money to send any of my family to any of them, except to take a course that was very practical. Forget about anything related to the humanities or to the environment especially. These people are now teaching doctrines that go against modern civilization. They have become the home of every weird group that one could ever imagine.
If we listened to the radical environmentalist who seem have a hold on power in these "bastillions of knowledge", we would have no petrochemical industries - no gas - no plastics - no automobiles - definitely no mining of any kind. Burning wood would definitely be prohibited. All oil pipelines and refineries would be outlawed. No gasoline. Our Canadian Prime Minister revealed his real agenda in this regard not too long ago at a town-hall meeting in Peterborough, Ontario. He let it slip out that his goal was to eventually phase out the Alberta oils sands production (HL). No vehicles except solar powered ones with wooden wheels are in our future. Therefore there will be no airplanes, only private jets for men like Al Gore and David Suzuki. Until we all would disappear from the face of the earth, we would all live in huge impersonal high-rise buildings in big cities - as it was in the old Soviet Union. We would also have to go back to horses and buggies. Even that would have to be ruled out because of methane emmissions. Permission will soon be required even to pass gas. They would have us become a society that wears only clothing made from tree leaves. Fur would definitely be out because the animal rights groups, who have a lot to say at our universities, are against the killing of all animals, even mosquitos and earth worms. Wool would be ruled out because of the pressure applied to governments by the plants' rights weirdos. Leaves would also have to be used instead of toilet paper. Forget about oil-based synthetic fibres. Basically, if these irrational groups had their way, humans would eventually disappear from the face of the earth, thus giving it back to nature.
It is a known fact that a number of rich billionaires, like Bill Gates and Prince Phillip, would love to cull the present population of the world until it was about 10% or less than what it presently is (HL). On some of the above issues, I am slightly exaggerating, but I bet you that I am not far from the truth on many of them. However, these things do not obsess me because I look forward to the time when Christ, the Prince of Peace, will reign on earth.
The West is ripe for the picking
Little does this generation in the West realize that they are making themselves into cannon fodder for the Islamists, if they ever come into power - which may happen in the next generation or so. They do not need a majority to do so. The Nazis took over Germany with a very small percentage of the population. Could it be that the massacre in Orlando is a foretaste of the future? "Free spirits" will not be tolerated by them for very long. The tail will no longer wag the dog in their future Sharia Law governed Islamic utopia, as it does now in Canada. Actually, there are many tails presently wagging the dog in the West, especially in my country of Canada. These religious Islamic zealots would quickly snip them off, especially the 1% to 2% LGBTQ ++ "tail".
As if that isn't alarming enough, consider these additional radical unheard of changes that have occurred just in the last decade or so in general in the social realm. Men are now marrying men, and women are now marrying women; and the consensus is that this is normal! These people are now even in prominent positions of political power. Have we lost our collective marbles??? Normality is a thing of the past. People are tattooing everything from their faces to their feet, trying to look like uncivilized savages - men and women alike. They cannot walk two feet without their smart phone "soothers".
Don't you dare say even anything against the sodomites, or the full force of the law will be brought down on you. If the authorities could read your mind, which is probably the next tool available to them, one will be prosecuted for their very thoughts. Whatever does not agree with the existing paradigm is considered hate speech. It covers all the bases. Effectively there is no longer any freedom of speech in Canada.
In some places it is now considered a human right for sexually anomalous people to use whatever public washroom the they want to use, depending on what gender they "perceive" themselves to be at that particular time. I am afraid that, as a dad and as a grandfather, I especially would not just be a spectator if one of my daughters or my granddaughters was in a public washroom when one of these anomalies shows up. At such a time, I would perceive myself to be Mahamoud Ali and rectify the situation.
What's next; men having babies, or a mother having her son's child (HL)? How about a threesome, a foursome, a fivesome, etc. What is to rule out bestiality? All of these, and many more anomalous behaviours are also just around the bend. I just read recently on a news site that a woman married a rock (HL) - Yes - A rock. I would be willing to bet my bottom dollar that she is a liberal progressive. This world has gone utterly nuts folks! Soon the Lord Jesus will vent His fury. I’ll no longer be on this tired out old planet when that happens. How about you?
