PRIDE MONTH EXPOSES INDOCTRINATION OVER ACADEMICS

Discussed by Sheri Few

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Has public education embraced the ideology of the LGBTQ lifestyle? Sheri discusses the scariest letter, “T”, and how the public education is redefining long-standing social norms.

Are the teacher colleges and teacher unions a big part of the problem? Click here to read the report Sheri discusses.

GOOD NEWS: The momentum of living a gay lifestyle is beginning to lose some of its luster. HOWEVER: Is it imperative that parents become involved in restoring a moral culture that safeguards children from the LGBTQ ideology? Sheri urges all parents to explore private school or home school options and keep their children out of government schools.

REPARATIONS FOR DAMAGED CHILDREN ARE NEEDED

Discussed by Linda Harvey
with Mission: America  (www.MissionAmerica.com)

GOOD NEWS: Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston is now required to open the nation’s first de-transition clinic.

Linda Harvey is the founder of Mission:America, a Christian pro-family organization tracking current cultural issues since 1995. Today, Linda gives more details about this WONDERFUL NEWS and urges everyone to keep fighting against the LGBTQ agenda.

Click here to read Linda’s op-ed on this very, very important issue.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why has Texas Children’s Hospital been ordered to open the first de-transition clinic?

Why do children who “transitioned” deserve reparations? Linda Harvey explains that, while there will be some issues that cannot be reversed or resolved, most can be and the people affected deserve the opportunity to live life as their biological sex.

Should malpractice suits be encouraged?

Is transgender dysphoria just the first step to “queer America”?

The LGBTQ movement has lost some of its appeal, but should we continue to fight the queering of America? Linda discusses the GOOD NEWS – but warns there is much more to be done.

A MOUSETRAP ISN’T JUST A MOUSETRAP

Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

A Mousetrap isn’t Just a Mousetrap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said: “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig sympathized, but said: “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow and said: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said: “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.

But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer’s wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

What’s the moral of the story? The next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember: when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.

You can shake your head and go "Tsk-tsk-tsk, it's such a shame". But just wait for another virus, business shutdown, riots in another city, war in another country, or any other major problem. It will eventually affect you!

Remember the poem by John Donne: “No Man is an Island”

TERROR GIVES WAY TO TRIUMPH

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 2

IF GOD IS FOR US – WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH GOD IS FIGHTING FOR YOU – HOW MUCH HE CARES FOR YOU – HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU?

This week, Mark Lanier continues in his series on the book of Romans, encouraging us with story after story of God’s faithfulness to those who love and obey Him. God wants our terror to turn into triumph!

To view Mark Lanier’s video for this lesson, click here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFAYGGaTuBM

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Abraham… Remember this story about God telling him to sacrifice his son, Isaac? Is this another example of terror giving way to triumph? Did Paul have this story on this mind when he wrote Romans 8:31-32?

What led to Paul write this, though? Mark quickly reviews chapters 6 and 7. You can check out our archives if you missed those lessons.

THE QUESTION THAT SILENCES EVERY ENEMY (vs 31)

If God is for us, who can be against us?

What type of language was Paul using? Why did he use this specific type of language? This is important!! Listen in…

Was Paul trying to confuse the people with all of his questions? Or was he trying to educate them and prove a point?

What are some other ways to interpret “for us”?

FIGHTING FOR TRUTH

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 2

IF THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES, THEN THERE ARE NO STANDARDS. AND IF THERE ARE NO STANDARDS, THEN THAT MEANS THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG. AND IF THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG, THEN YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BELIEVE AND LIVE HOWEVER YOU WANT TO.

This week, Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues in the FIGHT series, preaching on the importance of knowing and living the truth – the REAL truth according to the Gospel, not the world’s twisted version of “truth”.

NOTE: Champion Forest will be hosting a special celebration for America’s 250th Birthday. Click here for more details and to register for the event.

 If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

TRUTH IS NARROW

Who is God? How can we have a relationship with God? Is this path narrow?

Can Christianity and Islam both be right?

The world will tell us our truth is wrong. How should we respond? Pastor Jarrett has a special message for the seniors graduating high school…

TRUTH IS A PERSON

Does truth lead to Jesus? (John 1:17; John 8:32; John 14:6; John 18:37-38; John 17:17)

SATAN IS AN ENEMY OF TRUTH

Are you fighting for truth against the enemy? (John 8:44) Chip Ingram wrote in his book, “The Invisible War”: “Most of the battle is in our thought life…if he can distort our thoughts, our emotions, and our knowledge, then our behaviors and relationships will fall the way he wants them to….”

OUR SIN NATURE IS AN ENEMY OF TRUTH

Why do we sin?

Can we ever stop sinning?

Is it possible for lies to take over our mind? (Romans 7:22-23)

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Scripture Reference: Philippians 4:8 (ESV)

Merciful Father,

In the midst of life today, may we pause and give thought of you, our Savior and Redeemer. Thank you for your promise to never leave or forsake your children.

We lift our petitions to your throne room, trusting that you will answer in the center of your will.

Father God, we stand on the rock of our salvation, knowing our redemption is secure. We will not allow our circumstance to detour us from loving you.

Keep steady our steps according to your promises. Keep our feet from evil. Let no iniquity get dominion over us.

May our eyes be fixed on you, Sovereign Lord, for in you we take refuge in times of turmoil and in times of joy. Fill us now with your peace. We place our trust in you.

Our help come from you, the Maker of heaven and earth.

“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – guide us to think on such things.”

Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes on Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray,

Amen
