God is a homophobe

Judge Walker in California has imposed his OPINION to overturn what over seven million people voted for. They voted to define marriage as between a man and a woman. What a radical idea! This activist judge wrote over one hundred pages in which he says in so many words, that the concept of marriage as it has existed since the dawn of time, is homophobic. Everyone that has ever existed before him was wrong but he is right. Not the least bit arrogant is it? We can be very sure that his own  lifestyle had absolutely nothing to do with his decision!

Would it make sense to say that when someone makes something, and retains ownership, has the right to say how that item is used? The man that made the item surely would have the best insight into how the item works and would know what would damage it or decrease the efficiency.

God made people. God defined marriage. God says that homosexuality is sin. In Old Testament times  it was a capital crime. Judge Walker comes along and says that God is wrong about all of that. Wow, I would like to meet a person that is smarter than God! Hey, wait, that would make him god, would it not? Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.  (Romans 1:25 KJV)  Would you want a God that your mind could fully understand? Not me, a God no smarter than me would be very frightening!

Christians do not hate homosexual people. They hate the lifestyle because it is an abomination to God. God destroyed several entire cities because of the proliferation of homosexuality. You may have heard of one of the cities. Sodom. Prior to the destruction of the cities, God gave everyone a chance to escape, but the people just laughed at Lot when he warned them. God does not want to kill people. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  (2 Peter 3:9 KJV)

Below are just a few verses that show us God's opinion on these things. God a homophobe? Hardly, God afraid of insignificant humans? Yeah, right.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  (Genesis 1:27 KJV)

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.  (Genesis 2:24 KJV)

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.  (Leviticus 20:13 KJV)

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.  (Romans 1:27 KJV)

Kids' Power Club Conference.

Each summer First Baptist Church in Hammond runs a two day kids' conference. This has replaced the four day VBS. From 10AM until 2:30PM on Saturday there is a giant program featuring outdoor games, inflateables etc, and also sessions in the auditorium with Preacher and special Power Club characters. A skit is presented that is highly entertaining and teaches a character lesson. The catch is, to find out what happens, the kids must come back Sunday. On Sunday all of the kids join the church choir and sing a song. Then a recap of the skit is presented and the conclusion is performed. Bro. Schaap preaches a message specifically for the kids, but that is applicable to everyone. Many kids and adults were saved and baptized this morning!

Our traditional VBS program usually attracted a total of about 1,500 kids. The Power Club, whch is for kids through fifth grade reaches arount 3,500!  Many parents of the kids come on Sunday to see and hear their children sing in "that big church". Below is a video of the kids lining up on the platform prior to the Sunday service and then the song that they sang with our choir.  enjoy!
