I have had people from HR say that I am unhireable because of my beliefts (I generally get jobs on my research record) and they are blind as to what they are seeing. But this period will not last: it never does.

There is either reformation and revival, revolution, or a destruction of the nation. I’m praying for revival.

Christians are routinely savaged and mocked in the media and academia. Believe me, I went to a community college and the venom directed at Christians was palpable. You can get away with being a ‘new age’ Christian in a lot of places, but if you actually hold to God’s law, don’t expect to not get people who are willing to physically attack you.

I am sure it is more common in Britain and New Zealand, really godforsaken places, but we are not far behind. Same sex marriage has been a catalyst for most of the derision and attacks., so I thank you for addressing it. Remember, the homosexual identity movement after its death in Germany in the 1930s was resurrected here in the United States by communist sympathizers. They then exported it around the world. Now with the domino line of activist court decisions, they are being turned into a privileged class.

What I have found in my study of my nation and also others suffering under the Cathedral of ‘liberalism’ is that we are very slow to embrace change in comparison to other nations, but when we do, the effects happen dramatically in an almost revolutionary fashion. Our activists are tenacious and more openly satanic in their actions. You may recall abortionists in Texas recently mobbing the capital and chanting ‘Hail Satan’.

Either the Orthodox Presbyterians or the Evangelical Alliance of Presbyterians or some old line Reformed church. They exist.

One of the difficulties I have with discussing this with people from the USA is it is still fashionable to be a Christian there. There is a social cachet in going to church. This does not exist in New Zealand, or most of the British Commonwealth. Those who attend church are down to the 10-15% who are believers.

It has never, in my adult life, been fashionable to be a Christian, particularly one who takes the Bible seriously. So I don’t know how to deal with those preachers who pandar the powerful: the only ones we have like that are Liberals, and the elite ignore them.

For you are wrong: as in the time of Elijah, when he thought he was the only one left, there is a remnant. We better pray we are in it, and remain faithful to the gospel. I have no doubt there is a remnant in the USA.

For the Church will be the bride of Christ. I’m less usre about the future of the USA than the future of the church.

All the churches were made businesses decades ago, and are in truth partnered with our disgusting government.

Our biggest names in preaching are all luciferian ministers; Osteen, Lucado, Jakes, Warren, etc. All mega rich exploiting the gospel for profit.

Those who truly stand for Jesus stand alone. Perhaps they always did, but more so in these times.
