FLIPPING CONGRESS BY THE POWER OF BEELZEBUL

Posted on October 13, 2018 by ccpastormike

But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.” Matthew 12:24

If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges. Jesus Christ in Matthew 12:27

A recent article posted at The Huffington Post by religion reporter Carol Kuruvilla announced the group Vote Common Good (VCG), was beginning a bus tour to selected cities in America to challenge conservative evangelical Christian support for President Trump.

Who and what is Vote Common Good and what issues do they see as problematic for Christians supporting President Trump specifically and the Republican Party generally? Not surprisingly the “who” of Vote Common Good reads like a progressive, leftist, Marxist list of who’s who. The Executive Director of VCG is Doug Pagitt, he of the once dubbed Emerging Church movement, and author of An Emergent Manifesto of Hope, among other books.

They Destroy Everything They Touch, Volume 2 – Scott McKay

Posted on September 9, 2018 by ccpastormike

Now it’s Nike the social justice warrior crowd has set ablaze. Plus, various items from hither and yon.

“Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.” That’s the caption attached to a gritty, black and white picture of Colin Kaepernick in the publicity marquee of Nike’s new marketing campaign announced Friday, a corporate branding decision which will be studied in business schools for decades along with New Coke and the Edsel as What Not To Do.

Nike’s decision to turn Kaepernick, the National Anthem-defiling, skills-atrophying, cellar-dwelling Social Justice Warrior ex-quarterback who last played NFL football with the then 2-14 San Francisco 49ers in 2016, into its latest corporate product pitch man was announced over the Labor Day weekend, and on Tuesday when the New York Stock Exchange got its first opportunity to weigh in on it the results weren’t good. Nike’s stock closed Tuesday at $79.60, though it did rise a bit in after-hours trading. That was a pretty serious bath from the $82.20 at which the stock closed on Friday before word leaked of Kaepernick’s contract — a loss of 3.16 percent of its value, or more than $3.5 BILLION in market capitalization.

There’s a great, though underrated, Cameron Crowe movie from 2005 named Elizabethtown, starring Orlando Bloom as a Portland athletic shoe designer whose big idea results in a marketing disaster which nearly wipes out the multinational company he works for. Bloom’s character is not-unsurprisingly fired at the beginning of the movie, and what follows is his soulful journey back from the personal brink. The guess here is Elizabethtown is likely going to be a hot rental in Portland over the coming weeks as many of the marketing geniuses responsible for flying Kaepernick’s stupid social justice warrior standard atop Nike’s flagpole get a similar treatment to Bloom’s Drew Baylor in the movie.

How can it be otherwise? Kaepernick has already laid waste to one American corporate giant’s market share, almost single-handedly tubing the NFL’s TV ratings by double-digits through his idiotic kneeling histrionics during the national anthem, and though he’s been out of the league for more than a year now many of those fans are not rushing back. It could well be that Kaepernick has done significant permanent damage to a brand many thought indestructible before he came along.

And Nike has now embraced that contagion. And why? After all, Nike’s brand was made through affiliation with the best of the world’s athletes — Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, and many more at the top of their games. Now? Nike’s brand will be Shoes For Losers.

After all, Kaepernick’s fall from status as one of the NFL’s top young quarterbacks to that of whiny political poseur incapable of winning football games and losing focus on his craft has made him toxic to NFL owners, who can’t justify the distraction he presents against the upside that he might offer as a backup quarterback — and because of that he’ll not likely play in the league again. But let’s not consider him any sort of martyr, because he most certainly isn’t. It should be remembered that Kaepernick wasn’t blackballed by the NFL, as he’s alleging in his new lawsuit against the league. Both San Francisco and the Denver Broncos offered him contracts as a backup quarterback last year and he turned them down. That isn’t sacrifice; it’s arrogance. He made himself toxic as the face of a franchise, and he furthermore didn’t pursue the opportunity to play in the Canadian Football League, where he could have reclaimed his promise as a top-level quarterback (particularly given the style of play north of the border).

In other words, Kaepernick is a loser as a pro athlete — because he lacks the focus of the other greats on whose success the Nike brand is built. As Jordan famously said when asked about his apolitical stance as an athlete and product pitchman, “Republicans buy basketball shoes, too.” Williams, Woods, and so many others built their personal athletic brands on being soft-spoken on matters political, which is one reason Nike grew to such immense popularity and market share. That’s all gone with this decision.

It’s the kind of action no good businessperson would ever take. But it most certainly is the kind of thing the social justice warrior crowd who increasingly populate the decision-making positions in corporate America can be expected to do.

Again, why? The answer is something we said in our last entry in this space: because the Left is a political movement made up by and for people incapable of doing a good job at honest work.

And because of that, when you allow the social justice crowd a foot in the door they will soon destroy the entire institution. If they can take down the Catholic Church, after all, how hard is it for them to wipe out Nike?

While Nike’s stock was tanking on Tuesday, so was any semblance of decorum in the Senate, as the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee — including the potential 2020 presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who apparently achieved her position largely on the strength of her reputed former status as Willie Brown’s “side piece” — followed through on a planned attempt to disrupt Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. And the Democrats’ foot soldiers in the audience proceeded to show their collective derrières with a cacophony of heckling, sign-holding, and farcical costume displays.

Exactly how this is supposed to affect Kavanaugh’s confirmation beyond making the Republican majority more resolute in passing his nomination to the Senate floor is a mystery. One has the strong feeling all political activism in America now, and particularly on the Democrat side, can be reduced to the simple acting-out of children.

But when children act out, typically they are punished. We’ll see if the voters are turned off enough by the anti-Kavanaugh idiocy Tuesday to deliver approbation on Election Day in November.

Who Cares? Why Don’t We? The Attack On Western Civilization, Part 1 – Frosty Wooldridge

Posted on August 28, 2018 by ccpastormike

Part 1: What’s happening to America by its own hand: immigration, cultural chaos via diversity and multiculturalism

Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall, and that, “An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.”

This series provides a poignant and far-reaching interview with Bromwell Ault, 90, Yale graduate and author of: Who Lost America? He penetrates the reasons for America’s spiraling downfall into multiculturalism, diversity, endless immigration and population overload. He offers an extraordinary depth of understanding of America’s predicament from seven decades of observations on the world stage.

I have spoken with him for hours on this subject. He brings extraordinary wisdom, understanding, and comprehension of America’s predicament.

Ault relates his thoughts as to the changes sweeping over America:

We mention these enormous changes in our society and technology in the brief period of the last half-century because we have recently entered into another period of similarly far-reaching change with the potential to devastate our values, completely alter our culture and turn America away from the destiny which past generations imagined would be theirs and strove to attain. These threats are real and have been enabled by our educational, cultural and political avoidance.

There are multiple factors that contribute to the lassitude that has gripped our government, corrupted our political class and turned the type of national unity we have been able to call upon in the past into a distant memory. If we cannot regain our past ability to view ourselves and function as one nation, then the American dream — however, it is deemed — will no longer exist.

And our time frame is shrinking more rapidly than we can know from the information or opinions provided by our government and/or MSM. It is this rapidly contracting time for corrective action that has given rise to this series of chapters we call The Attack on Western Civilization (WCIV).

America is the youngest and strongest member of what we refer to as WCIV — a mixture of thought, art, religion, government, politics, music, science, commerce, genetics and population with pre-Christian origins in the cultures of Greece and Rome. As war between the various western European states was a constant for centuries, unity was an infrequent experience, most notably exercised to turn back Muslim invasions at Tours, Vienna and the Crimea and to recapture the Christian Holy Land via the Crusades of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries; and in more modern times to deny the designs for conquest and territorial acquisition by Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm, Hitler and Stalin.

Europe’s monarchies controlled its power until they self-destructed in the failing values and leadership of World War I (WW I). Their system did not allow for real unity because power could shift instantly due to birth, death, marriage, insanity, religion, as well as the usual state causes such as the expansion of commerce, territory, and population.

It became clear that this beautiful, glimmering sense of unity needed determined leadership and improvement to survive in the massive rebuilding of Europe after WW II. And although Europe has been strengthened by new methods and institutions, old ways and memories persist because they have been tried and hardened and have endured centuries of history and conflict. Even so, European unity pales beside that which the U.S. displayed so powerfully in the two great wars of the 20th century. The reason lies in our origin when the first step in becoming a free nation required surrendering our colonial identities of almost 200 years, and establishing the unity that allowed our founders dreams of freedom, honor, and equality to survive and be passed on to future generations.

While we have departed from our WCIV forbears in many ways, our culture is predominantly the same. Our language, law, dress, religion, food, history, music, literature, architecture, and science have European roots and branches onto which we have grafted our own forms for over 200 years. Some have been beautiful, others offensive; but culture, like history, is a long span, an endless game in which we participate only brie y. It thanks us, or not, for our contributions; it uses them, or not, as it prefers. We have been privileged to have a part in it, and we have taken pride in that part.

We have gone into some detail because culture, history, unity and other elements of WCIV are now under global attack and, once again, if we in the West are to defend ourselves, America will have to lead. The peril we face is one of many parts, as are the problems that it will increasingly force upon us. In this, we will describe the background and the threats that we must confront. And we will outline what we must do and how it should be done. For Matters of Conscience, this will require a transformative editorial move away from commentary towards activism which we would not consider unless the stakes were as high as they are.

The Left Is Destroying Our Children – Dave Daubenmire

Posted on July 28, 2018 by ccpastormike

I heard a conservative commentator on TV make reference to “the Godless Left” the other night. As so often happens we hear and repeat statements that often give validity to a premise that is factually flawed.

There is no such thing as a “Godless” person. Everyone serves somebody or something. Admit it or not we all find ourselves manipulated by forces beyond our own control.

For some it is an addiction…cigarettes…drugs…cell phones…but whatever we give our time to is what we serve. The “Godless Left” is not really Godless. They are Christ-less…but not Godless. Most of the Godless Left simply serve the “god” of self.

You see it everywhere you look…MY body MY choice…don’t judge ME…who are you to tell ME what I can do. When you remove the God of the Bible from society you don’t remove God…you simply change the god that is served.

The Bible tells us “that when there was no King in Israel the people did what was right in their own eyes.” Self is now the King over America. If it feels good do it…how better to please the god of self than to feed every one of its carnal desires.

President Theodore Roosevelt once said “to educate a child and not train him in morality is to educate a menace to society.” Our amoral public schools are destroying our nation.

But they are not really amoral…void of morality…but self-moral in that right and wrong is determined by the belief system of the individual. “Everyone doing what is right in his own eyes”…that is the mushy foundation upon which the New America is being built.

It is sinking sand. A nation is no longer a nation if it does not share a common culture. A nation’s culture is not determined by skin color, or ethnicity, or gender, but by a common sense of values. A nation where whim is the determining factor in right and wrong cannot possibly survive. If the Truth is constantly changing like Bruce Jenner’s gender then it was never really Truth to begin with.

Fake news, fake science, fake education all share the same thing in common. They are all agenda driven. “Truth” is shaped and molded to produce a desired outcome. There is no proof of Darwinian evolution, or gender confusion, or the existence of God, but our children are being taught in government schools that they can create their own Truth simply by manipulating Science.

Millions of dollars are spent annually in an attempt to “prove” evolution while very little scientific research is funded to prove the EXISTENCE of God. This is a perfect example of paying science to prove your already-believed theory. So much of our current educational system is hell-bent on destroying God that the scientific research is directed explicitly at that target. “There is no God and we can prove it!” Except they can’t, no matter how hard they try.

But they can use deception. They can create an educational system totally devoid of the God of the Bible and His precepts for how a society is supposed to operate. That system is called multiculturalism which is simply a game plan for how to live together without a common set of values. Tolerance has replaced Truth. One belief is just as valid as another. Who are you to judge? We are all just one big happy family of divergent Truths striving to co-exist on a foundation of sinking sand.

Our churches are the ones to blame. Instead of fighting for Truth and demanding that the Truth be taught to our children we have opened the flood gates and permitted the creation of a theological swamp where Truth is merely one of a thousand opinions and God is recreated to fit the belief system of the individual. When you create your own version of God you can mold Him into your own system of beliefs. The average American Church no longer flies the banner of Truth.

This past weekend a few dozen of my friends and I took the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a local mosque, an abortion clinic, and to a homosexual-shame parade. In each instance we were struck by how obvious it is that The LEFT is feasting on our children.

I remember as a young man reading where Nikita Khrushchev said “Give us a generation and we will give you communism.” The plan of the Devil has always been to infiltrate and mislead. Today in America all of our major institutions are under the control of The Left, including the church, and the fruit of that infiltration can be seen on any street in any town in America.

Our children are murdering our grandchildren in abortion clinics around the nation. The homosexualists have seized the government schools to the point that the average American can no longer recognize the evil of male on male butt sex. In fact, neither can our churches. The Pastors and church leaders are accepting and promoting perversions which fly in the face of the “laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.”

If our churches no longer recognize right from wrong what hope do our children have?

The next generation of Americans has very little in common with the morality of their grandparents. Give them sex, drugs, video games…anything but JESUS!! That is how The Left is destroying our children.

Below are three short videos of our Gospel outreach this past weekend. Watch them and weep. The church is asleep in the light. The Devil is eating our children.

LGBT Thought Police Are Here – Rob Pue

Posted on July 27, 2018 by ccpastormike

I have just gone through quite a week, to say the least…. and more is coming my way. It seems when you speak the truth in our modern world, you become the hated of all men (and women). Case in point: my recent commentary here, entitled “Earnestly Contending for the Faith” received quite a bit of feedback. Mostly positive from people who understand what I was talking about… the need to EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH, breaking out of our “Churchianity” mindset and doing MORE than just attending church and feeling you have rendered your full and complete “Reasonable Service” to God.

I CONTENDED that “Contending for the Faith” involves WORK. And the work, as those of you who DO IT know, is not easy. I quoted from the book of Jude where we read, “…it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares… ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Jude goes on to use as an example the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah: “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise, also, these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion and speak evil of dignities.”

Sounds like our day, doesn’t it? Evil men (and women) have crept in, unawares, and now invade every single nook and cranny of our society and culture, including our professing Christian Churches, where, I pointed out in my last message, that 67% of professing believers in Christ now ALSO BELIEVE that sodomite marriage is perfectly alright.

So I heard from some of the listeners after my last program. As I said, most listeners on VCY understand the situation of real spiritual warfare we are dealing with. Real DEMONIC influences, creeping in and twisting God’s Word, defiling and deceiving our people — young and old alike, but Satan especially targets our children. If he is unable to kill God’s image-bearers in the womb before they are born, then he will twist their minds into a hideous abomination.

What’s more, the parents are now encouraging this depraved mindset. Many today are raising their kids in absolutely GODLESS homes, with no Bible study whatsoever, no information about God AT ALL — unless it is a false god… And so today, anything goes, as long as it is depraved. Bring the POWER of the name of JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR into the mix, and you will be hated of all men.

We’re in a spiritual battle of good vs. evil, the Godly ones who KNOW the truth versus the evil ones who have crept in unawares. I have said before, and I will repeat it again here: MOST of the professing Christian “churches” in this country are absolutely over-run with carnality and cowardice. Carnality from the preachers and pew-sitters alike, and cowardice to face the TRUTH of what God’s Word truly says. The people are DESTROYED for lack of knowledge because so very FEW church-goers even know what the Bible SAYS. Biblical illiteracy is epidemic. Our pastors refuse to speak on more than just a few easy passages, lest someone get offended. Meanwhile, the people perish.

Ask yourself: what has changed in most modern churches in the last ten years? I dare say nothing. Even though our culture most certainly has. The demonically-influenced Obama — who many heralded as the “new Messiah” — saw to that. He not only expanded and heavily funded everything evil and abhorrent to the Lord, he also brought in the false god of Islam, and fundamentally transformed the thinking of an entire nation. Under his watch, we went from being a Constitutional Republic to a country of “Democratic Socialism,” better described as “Mobocracy.”

He refused to prosecute crime, yet he personally committed countless treasonous crimes against our country, God and nature every single day he sat in the Oval Office. Talk about the OBOMINATION that brought desolation! And lest you think his days are over, let me remind you, he is now working just two miles from the White House, and it is my belief that he is one of the main operatives behind the scenes working to bring all-out civil war to this nation, using his “community organizing” skills, honed through study of his hero, Saul Alinsky — who, I might remind you, dedicated his book, “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer.

But again, while our society and culture has changed drastically in the last ten years, virtually NOTHING in our churches has changed. Maybe the “worship team” changed drummers…. maybe you got new carpeting or padded the pews. Maybe the church got a new, younger “pastor,” more “in tune” with the times. Likely the doors have been opened to all manner of worldliness, while “repentance” is a word never spoken. When was the last time YOU heard a sermon on repentance?!

And NONE of the SERIOUS, major cultural and social issues that are plaguing this land can EVER be mentioned — MOST “pastors” “CENSOR” such things from the pulpits… They will simply say we must “love everyone” and just pray for them. Let me tell you something though: God does NOT love everyone. That may sound like a radical statement. But clearly, we know from GOD’S HOLY WORD, which DOES NOT CHANGE — that He HATES all workers of iniquity.

Today, workers of iniquity abound. A few weeks ago, Maxine Waters encouraged people to physically attack all Trump supporters. Since that time, there have been more than 200 attacks around the country on Trump supporters. Physical, BLOODY attacks. Our college campuses are no longer places of higher learning — they are outposts of radical socialism and fascism.

Truth has fallen in the streets, truly. Truth is no longer an acceptable thing. Today, it is abhorrent to the people. TRUTH SOUNDS LIKE HATE, TO THOSE WHO HATE THE TRUTH. Hedonism rules the day. And if you think for a moment that the sodomite agenda is not real and flourishing, think again, because I have seen it. I have personally FACED it, up close and personal. SO IF YOU HAVE NOT, then please, save the emails: don’t try to tell me how “loving” the militant sodomites are. I know better… if you have not seen them in action for yourself, then you know NOTHING — other than what they WANT you to believe.

Those marching in these sickening “pride parades” are some of the most depraved, mean-spirited and hateful people you will ever come across…. and let me again remind you, they do not march alone anymore. They are now joined by countless so-called Christian “churches,” pastors and clergy. The TRUTH of God’s Word, His natural design and order for marriage, family and parenting is simply NOT ALLOWED. It is now deemed HATEFUL and BIGOTED and the lying Left must SILENCE all dissent, because they know they have no moral or righteous leg to stand on. We literally, now, have some in our pulpits calling the Word of God “hate speech!” How much more reprehensible can you get?

Let me tell you what else happened this week. Our Vimeo account was abruptly shut down — DELETED without warning. Vimeo is an internet video-hosting and archival service. If you want to post videos to your website, which we DO at Wisconsin Christian News, you need a server or a host site to post the videos to first — unless you have the money and resources to purchase and maintain your own equipment to do that. And the equipment to do that is prohibitively expensive for most, especially ministries like ours.

At the start of the year, we purchased a video-hosting plan from Vimeo to the tune of $1,000.00 so that we could include video content to our website. Since January, we have posted countless videos there, with never a single problem or issue. However, early last week, we began hosting David Arthur’s new program on our Vimeo account, as a way to help out his new ministry. He does not have the resources and cannot afford to do this on his own, so we wanted to help.

David Arthur, in case you don’t know, is a former “transgender prostitute,” who was radically saved by the grace of God. He has come out of that lifestyle and now has a ministry to help others do the same. He is not “mean spirited,” “hateful,” or “bigoted.” He simply speaks the truth from God’s Word and he gives encouragement and hope to those trapped in the demonic sin of perverted sex by giving his own, powerful, personal testimony of salvation.

Well, we ran ONE — you heard me right — ONE of David’s TV programs on our Vimeo page, and then our Vimeo page was IMMEDIATELY DELETED by the Vimeo “Thought Police.” Mind you, we PAID for this service: DEARLY! Users of Vimeo post all kinds of materials. ANYTHING GOES on Vimeo — EXCEPT, (and listen closely now), EXCEPT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY, TRANSGENDERISM AND SEXUAL PERVERSION. You do THAT, and you are DONE!

But it is worse than the money we spent to pay for their video hosting service. When they delete your account, you also LOSE all your content. Meaning that all the time, money and effort involved in professional video production is just stolen from our ministry. Why? Because THEY CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH being spoken of, therefore, we are silenced.

What did Vimeo say? Here’s their statement: “Any commentary that makes derogatory or inflammatory statements about individuals or groups of people will be a violation. Homophobic statements that call gay individuals ‘unnatural’ are not permitted under the Terms of our Service.”

I have to wonder: how many videos do they allow that make derogatory or inflammatory statements about Donald Trump? Are THOSE taken down and accounts deleted? No, in fact, Vimeo is PACKED with such things. How many videos do they allow that make derogatory or inflammatory statements about Christianity or those who believe in natural male/female marriage? And I hope you caught the part of the message where they stated to me, “Homophobic statements that call gay individuals ‘unnatural’ are not permitted.”

Friends, there is NOTHING “Natural” about sodomy. (They HATE that word too, by the way, because it DESCRIBES the ACTIVITY that homosexuals engage in). No, friends, make no mistake: homosexuality is not about “love.” It is about unbridled LUST and depravity. THERE IS NOTHING NATURAL ABOUT SODOMY. So for us to state in our video content that homosexual activity is “unnatural,” is NOT “homophobic.” I have no “phobia” about homosexuals. They are simply lost, confused people, caught up in a demonic perversion that is, INDEED about as UNNATURAL as you can get! Yet the THOUGHT POLICE at Vimeo have silenced us — at least on their service.

It’s no different from the college campuses that experience riots, burning, and physical attacks if a conservative speaker tries to make a speech there. It’s no different from those in the “pride” parades physically attacking Christians who go there to try to snatch these lost souls from the claws of Satan’s grasp…. while the police look on in amusement.

We live in a world where truth, indeed, has fallen in the street. TRUTH, now, sounds like HATE, because so many now HATE THE TRUTH. They cannot TOLERATE it. They WILL NOT tolerate it.

What can you do about it? Number one: NEVER BE AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH. Never buckle under the intimidation they try to throw at you. Stand up for Jesus and God’s Word — EVERY CHANCE YOU GET! And number two: If you are so inclined, you might like to contact Vimeo and politely, but firmly express your thoughts as to their censorship of truth. You can reach them at: Vimeo Inc., Attention Legal Department, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York, 10011. Email them at legal@Vimeo.com

Finally, please keep ME in your prayers, as well as our ministry, because we are under attack and wearing a target on our backs every single day. We have, as God’s Word warned, become a prey to the ungodly. Isaiah 59: “Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter. So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.”
