NEWS BRIEF: “California Senate Advances Bill Prohibiting Therapists From Helping Those Seeking to Fight Homosexual Temptation”, Christian News, August 22, 2018
“SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California Senate has advanced a bill that prohibits professional therapists and counselors from advertising or selling services that would offer help to those seeking to fight homosexual temptation, attaching the prohibition to existing consumer fraud law. The controversial A.B. 2943 passed the Senate 25-11 on Thursday,,,”
California is thus preparing to set the legal standard in stone that homosexuality in all its forms is lawfully recognized. I have no reservations whatsoever to think that Sodom and Gomorrah legally recognized homosexuality in all its forms, and passed laws forbidding anyone to say otherwise.
California then set its sights on preventing gay people from being saved and delivered!
“Now, lawmakers (are) banning what it calls ‘sexual orientation change efforts’ for any age, and specifically prohibiting professional therapists from advertising or offering for sale such services ... Contemporary science recognizes that being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender is part of the natural spectrum of human identity and is not a disease, disorder, or illness’, the bill claims.”
This secular point of view cannot recognize that homosexuality is, in reality, a sin that produces gay oriented diseases, disorders, and illnesses. The truth is that homosexuals can repent of this sin, asking forgiveness through Jesus’ blood sacrifice on the cross, and be set free!
Can you see that the secular viewpoint permanently traps the homosexual in a lifetime of deviant sexual practices and lifestyle? On the other hand, a gay person who accepts that Biblical viewpoint that homosexuality is a sin is really a liberating TRUTH!
Jesus came to save sinners! Jesus also came so that new Christians may experience a life more abundant and free! This California law seeks to prevent this kind of spiritual transformation!
Let us return to our featured news story.
“Pro-family groups have strongly opposed what they have dubbed the ‘must stay gay’ measure, stating that it wrongfully stands in the way of those who genuinely want help rejecting homosexual temptation, and forces licensed therapists to side with the government’s point of view since they can’t tell prospective clients that there is freedom from homosexuality, whether in advertising or in person.”
“A.B. 2943 essentially outlaws the Judeo-Christian worldview regarding sexual ethics, affirming the transformative replacement ‘anything goes’ secular worldview of the sexual revolution, also known as radical sexual liberty’, it stated.”
Therefore, since this bill “outlaws the Judeo-Christian worldview”, it instantly makes “outlaws” of law-abiding Christian citizens.
This measure also keeps the focus of its citizens upon themselves, rather than on Jesus Christ.
“2 Corinthians 5:15-17 also teaches, ‘He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again. … Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new’.”
Has the time arrived for Christians to prepare for Civil Disobedience?
NEWS BRIEF: “California Christians, Prepare for Civil Disobedience”, Christian Post, 17 August 2018
“As California appears poised to pass a draconian bill that directly attacks your religious freedoms, it’s time for you to draw a line in the sand. If the bill passes, you must choose to obey God rather than man. It’s time for civil disobedience. I’m speaking about AB 2943 …”
Christians must obey God rather than man on this most critical issue. Sinners caught up in the homosexual lifestyle must hear the Word of God aggressively taught from the pulpits, the classrooms and from individuals, even if such activity might land them in jail.
But, even as secularists in California are cheering their “victory” on this issue, they should educate themselves of the historic fact that the genuine Church of God thrives especially well during times it is being most grievously persecuted.
As California slips further into the role of leading to Sodom, God causes the entire state to physically shake, rattle and roll!
NEWS BRIEF: “Watch Out California! 53 Major Earthquakes (Including A Magnitude 8.2) Just Hit The Ring Of Fire In A 24 Hour Period – “Something unusual starting to happen to the crust of our planet”, End Times Headlines, August 20, 2018
“Is something unusual starting to happen to the crust of our planet? The USGS defines any earthquake of at least magnitude 4.5 as ‘significant’, and there were 53 earthquakes that met that criteria along the Ring of Fire on Sunday alone.”
“The entire west coast of the U.S. falls along the ‘Ring of Fire’, and experts assure us that it is only a matter of time before the seismic tension that is building up along the tectonic plates in that area is released.”
NEWS BRIEF: “Don’t Blame Trump for the California Wildfires”, Breitbart News, 10 Aug 2018
“All the usual leftist suspects – CNN, WaPo, Sen. Kamala Harris, Governor Moonbeam – are trying to blame “climate change” and even Donald Trump for the wildfires ravaging California.
But guess who is really to blame… Specifically the culprits are all those environmental campaigners, eco lobbyists, green NGOs, lawyers and politicians responsible turning California and the Pacific Northwest into a gigantic fire hazard.”
California seems to be completely engulfed in flame. I know this statement is an exaggeration, but kit is absolutely true that California is suffering through an unprecedented fire destruction.
NEWS BRIEF: “Fact Sheet: Homelessness in California (in 2016)”, Senate.CA
“California had 118,142 homeless people, which accounted for 22% of the nation’s homeless population. California also had the highest rate of unsheltered people at 66.4% (78,390 were unsheltered).”
While it may seem a stretch to suggest that California is suffering these problems because God’s judgment is beginning to fall upon her, I do not believe we can completely discount them, either.

Be Ready 
The voices of old cry out for righteous ‘Justice & Judgement’ against the wickedness in our nation. Failing to call homosexuality an abomination as the Bible states but rather legalizing it in our laws proves that we, as a nation, are refusing to judge ourselves, As the recent actions in New Mexico, where a young child was killed in a bizarre ritual, we are again, refusing to do justice or judgement on ourselves in this country. But, this one death of an innocent child is nothing when compared to the national sacrifice of 60+ million babies since the US legalized the murder with Roe v Wade in 1973. We have legalized ourselves into certain coming judgement. Payment will be made, “an eye for an eye”, as stated in ancient times which means blood for blood. The prophecy declares; “…and double unto her double according unto her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double”. Now we are even selling dead baby body parts on the open market. The Word of God says; “…for in one hour is thy JUDGEMENT come”, referring to a fiery cataclysm. Blood for blood (doubled) means a required judgement of at least 120,000,000 in blood as payment for our abominations. The result is this; from sea to shining sea, nothing will be left here but an ashy residue like Sodom & Gomorrah and an eerie silence that will reign over our formerly great land forever. It will be uninhabited by man or beast, trees or flowers, and anything else, forevermore. Famous old time evangelists had a saying “PAYDAY SOMEDAY!” More than likely, for us it is now “PAYDAY ANY DAY!!!” OUR WAGES AS A NATION MUST BE PAID!! Eternal Justice demands it!

California fires might be a warning or a sampling of what is to come if we do not listen and obey the Word of God. These well meaning leaders who pass man’s laws obviously do not believe the Word of God is real and what He says about a subject is the last word. Man cannot change that. When they do, many people and even nations as a whole suffer the consequences.
Today, the professionals, tomorrow, the clergy, then, we, the people will be required to follow these people’s laws.
Christians are failing to pray to keep their freedoms. They are failing to speak up for the Lord. Failing to call on the Holy Spirit for help in fighting these law makers and to keep our religious freedoms. Too many Christians are comfortable and happy to just sit in the family pew and say nothing when things like this happen. If this is you, then say nothing either when you lose the freedom to sit in the pew on Sunday and you are forced to hide your Bible to escape imprisonment.
America elected 5 Islamic-American women into office in this past election. I don’t know their religious preference. A person’s religion does not concern me except when persons of Islam, if they exercise their faith, are in charge of the laws I am required to follow. Examples can be found in other countries that should be red flags, but people will not pay attention and the Media never air the truths that we need to see because they side with people like this man who just passed this new law.
Too many people blindly follow another lost sheep to slaughter too often here in America, by following the avenue of Political Correctness which puts our country and our freedoms and our very lives in jeopardy.

I truly agree with you. America is without excuse, for although the Freemason were the foundation Fathers as far as politics was concerned, yet the Pilgrim Fathers went there to build a city on a hill. But sadly USA turned her back on the light, just like Israel did and now the whole of the land is being enveloped by a thick, pall of darkness. Yes, judgement is even at the door.
Not that other nations have not sinned, for they have and they will be judged but as the Bible says, when much is given, much is demanded. The state USA is in is because the churches have become a den of thieves, churning out diluted, lukewarm messages, that makes the Lord want to spew them out of His mouth. The Christians themselves are too lazy to search and understand the Bible, but want to be spoon fed. Above all the education system had been dumbed down and people are fed with lies from cradle to the coffin and they are none the wiser for knowing otherwise.
It is a sad state.
Even so Come Lord Jesus.
