Smart Phones Creating a Generation of Porn Addicts

Yeah.  Probably NOT a good idea to give our little kids super computers they can carry in their pockets and summon up hard core porn at any moment.  Is this a public health crisis?  I’m gonna say yes it is.  Is Satan involves in this plan to destroy our young men and women?  Of course.

And he says things got even worse with the launch of YouTube in 2005, the iPhone in 2007, the iPad in 2011, and endless other mobile devices that have hit the market over the last two decades.

“I was into basketball. I was really social. And I always had a real life girlfriend, but video games, social media and internet porn rewired me.”

Deem tells the I-Team his parents had “no clue” what he was doing. “My mom always asked me why I took long showers.”

He says it was an addiction that was easy to hide and progressed as he got older. “I would ride my bike home from school and watch internet porn for sometimes two-to-three hours a day.”

Deem calls it an addiction comparable to drugs or alcohol. He says it is so strong he eventually craved a screen or pixels not people.

By the time he was 23-years-old, he says he suffered from physical side effects including erectile disfunction. He says he could not maintain a healthy relationship.

Deem also says it cause social and mental problems. “You see an increase in social anxiety, poor working memory and brain fog, so that started happening to me.”

Scared he’d never be the same, Deem turned to internet forums where he discovered he was not alone. He found other addicts talking about anxiety, depression, poor academic performance, unhealthy relationships, and even suicide.

Iran Has Fastest Growing Church

Anyone who says that Jesus and His followers are shrinking in number is simply not paying attention.  Yes, it might be true in America and Europe, but in other parts of the world Christianity is exploding.

Check out this incredible news from Iran.

https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/worlds-fastest-growing-church-women-documentary-film

(For some reason this link won’t work from the blog so try to cut and paste it into new tab)

A new film tells the story of the "fastest-growing church" in the world, an underground, persecuted Christian movement in a country known for exporting radical Islamic terrorism — Iran.

People in Iran, a Muslim-majority nation, are fleeing Islam in droves as believers bow their knee to Jesus and become aggressively pro-Israel, according to the documentary "Sheep Among Wolves Volume II."

“What if I told you Islam is dead?” one unidentified Iranian church leader says in the film, which was directed by Dalton Thomas and produced by Frontier Alliance International Studios.

“What if I told you the mosques are empty inside Iran?" he continues. "What if I told you no one follows Islam inside of Iran? Would you believe me? This is exactly what is happening inside of Iran. God is moving powerfully inside of Iran.”

The pastor adds: “What if I told you the best evangelist for Jesus was the Ayatollah Khomeini? The ayatollahs brought the true face of Islam to light and people discovered it was a lie...After 40 years under Islamic law — a utopia according to them — they’ve had the worst devastation in the 5,000-year history of Iran.”

Thomas calls the movement "the Iranian awakening."

"It owns no property, no buildings, no central leadership, and is predominantly led by women," he said in a statement.

Named after the Bible verse Matthew 10:16 which says, “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves,” the documentary claims "Muslim-background Iranians are leading a quiet but mass exodus out of Islam and bowing their knees to the Jewish Messiah -- with kindled affection toward the Jewish people."

But the new believers in the Islamic Republic face great risks.

"We know that if they get us, the first thing they will do to us as a woman is rape us and then they will beat us and ultimately they will kill us," one believer said. "This is the decision we have made that we want to offer our bodies as sacrifices. Because I have this thought when I wake up, that when I leave, that door I might not come back."

Praise the Lord!  What a testimony!  We wonder how many people in America would still go to church if the women knew they would be raped and killed because of their faith in Christ?

We have no idea what this means for the prophecy of Ezekiel 38, but we need to be in prayer for the church of Iran.  Pray that they will explode under the pressure cooker of persecution.

Jews Sacrifice Animal on Mount of Olives

The headline of the story is pretty cool;  A First Since Days of Noah: Animal Sacrifice to Restore God’s Covenant

Of course the Jews haven't had a Temple in 2000 years but NOW they want one.  And where do they want it built?  On the Temple Mount where the first two were. 

So what's the problem?  The Muslims have the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock sitting on it.  And Muslims are so racist that they seldom refuse to let Jews onto the Mount.

Can you imagine in America if we had someplace that still said NO BLACKS ALLOWED!  The media would go insane.  But somehow the Muslims can say, NO JEWS ALLOWED!, the world gives them a big, fat pass.

The Conference of the Organization of the 70 Nations hosted a ceremony on Thursday whereby an animal sacrifice was offered on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The objective – to renew the covenant made between God and all of mankind.

Breaking Israel News writer Eliyahu Berkowitz was at the scene throughout the entire event and even recorded it in a Facebook Live video below:

The original sacrifice, known as a a korban olah (burnt offering), was made by Noah when he exited the Ark following the flood:

"Then Noach built an altar to Hashem and, taking of every clean animal and of every clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar." Genesis 8:20

The event, however, was almost canceled. That’s because when the original butcher who was supposed to slaughter the lamb at the event canceled last minute, a righteous gentile named Malachi, who just happened to have four years experience slaughtering animals, was miraculously in attendance. After being called upon, Malachi broke down in tears saying that he’s “dreamed about this moment all week.” He stepped up and slaughtered the lamb and also helped burn it on the altar – an altar that Jews were forbidden from helping them erect.  See the incredible story here:

After the ritual slaughter took place, the fire from the sacrifice burned smoke to the heavens as seen here:

“You can’t go through something like this and be apathetic. Everybody walked out of this ceremony totally transformed and totally intent on serving God to the best of their ability” said an emotional Berkowitz calling it an Abrahamic moment.

Malachi added: “I knew I was going to do this before I came to Israel. ‘He’ (God) gave me the strength to do this today.” Every one of these stones that fit together is unique. He’s bringing his stones now to build the Temple and it’s us. It’s us together. “

During a joint interview, both Malachi and Berkowitz recited the verse in Psalms saying:

 The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. Psalms 118:22

Here;  https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/137832/a-first-since-days-noah-animal-sacrifice-restore-gods-covenant/?goal=0_bb2894f273-059ff3ad4b-46033001&mc_cid=059ff3ad4b&mc_eid=94de441b34

The demand for the 3rd Temple will build.  We aren't sure WHEN it will be built but we know it will be because the Antichrist needs to sit in it, 3 1/2 years after he signs a peace agreement, and declare himself to be God.

Also notice that the Jews quoted above quote Psalms about the stone the builders rejected.  How crazy!  Followers of Christ recognize this as the prophecy that Jews would reject Jesus! 

Simply can't make this stuff up.

These are all just more signs that we shouldn't be surprised if Jesus comes for His bride sooner than later.

Polyamory Goes Mainstream

I ran across this article from last year that explains how some Minnesotans are finding “love” by humping lots of different people.  50 years ago society would have called her a slut, but today she joins is called polyamorous and we celebrate her lifestyle.
****************************

Over the past three years, the 31-year-old divorced mother with a ballerina’s physique, septum piercing, and “R-E-A-D M-O-R-E” inked on her knuckles has had three male partners—and subsequent heartbreaks.

She also dates a young married couple and occasionally sleeps with another married couple. Once, both married couples and Andy went camping together, children in tow.

She considers herself non-monogamous. Nationally, it’s estimated that 5 percent of the population has some sort of non-monogamous structure in their relationship. MN Poly, a St. Paul-based meetup group, boasts more than 1,200 members. Non-monogamy has recently caught on in pop culture, from onscreen interpretations in House of Cards, Insecure, and Professor Marston and the Wonder Women to advice columnist Dan Savage’s endorsement of “monogamish” relationships.

No two non-monogamous arrangements are exactly alike. People seek additional partners not just for sex but for affection, companionship, love, co-parenting, and socializing. These configurations require ongoing negotiations about appropriate partners, parameters of sex and dating, STD protection, and birth control.

Even the language non-monogamists use is carefully curated. Non-monogamy is an umbrella term; beneath it are myriad variations on the theme. Polyamory involves loving more than one person, with all the inherent emotional involvement and time investment. Sometimes polyamorous practitioners identify one partner as “primary,” creating a hierarchy to prioritize their many relationships.

Seminary Students Told to Confess Climate Sins to Potted Plants

I know for a fact that the gates of hell will never overcome the TRUE church.  But as you look around at all the false teachings, false teachers and false theology that is happening among people who CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS, it makes you wonder how small the remnant of TRUE FOLLOWERS really is?

The folks at Union Theological Seminary are taking the concept of "talking to your plants" to a frightening new level.  

Each year, students at the seminary pay a ridiculous amount of money to go to the school, and they are there to be trained to be the Christian leaders of tomorrow.  

But instead, they are being taught to confess their "climate sins" to potted plants, and eventually these impressionable young minds will be leading churches and Christian institutions all over America.  

I realize that this story is so bizarre that it sounds like somebody made it up, but it is actually true.  The following was posted by the official Twitter account of Union Theological Seminary last week...

Today in chapel, we confessed to plants. Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor.

What do you confess to the plants in your life?

Needless to say, this tweet got a tremendous amount of attention, and the following are some of the more interesting responses...

-That "you'd probably taste good simmering in butter."

-Those plants think you're all morons.

-"They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator ..." -- Romans 1:25

-How every day, there's a match and lighter fluid within 5 steps of them

-My confession: I am judgmental toward Larry the cucumber for exercising green privilege over Bob the tomato.

Of course a lot of very confused parents probably contacted the school as well, because this was definitely not what most of them had in mind when they heard that their child was going to attend "seminary".

But instead of backing down, Union Theological Seminary posted a ten part response on Twitter in which they defended this new practice.  The following are the first five parts of their response...

Paul has a difficult passage about what true followers of Christ are supposed to do with other people who call themselves Christians but really aren't.

2 Timothy 3
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
