It’s still only a matter of a few weeks since we were keeping the annual Feast of Tabernacles as instructed by God, where we heard many messages about the greatness of God and the wonderful future just ahead of us. We will also have enjoyed fellowship with people of like-mind and the cares and concerns of life in general will have been put to one side in order to enjoy this annual celebration which is unlike anything else we experience in our normal activities. As we returned home, we were soon back into our everyday routines and again fighting against Satan and his society.
In his Editorial dated 14th July 2023 entitled “Get Mad!” Mr. Norbert Link wrote the following:
“In order to fulfill our responsibility effectively and convincingly, we must ourselves feel anger and hatred for the injustice, wickedness, rebellion against God and the lies and misrepresentations we observe daily, from the very top down, starting with the ‘heads of the house of Jacob’ and the ‘rulers of the house of Israel, Who abhor justice And pervert all equity’ (Micah 3:9). This anger must be reflected in our speaking and writing in order to be convincing. When we speak about the horrible sinful conduct of our leaders and the people, and don’t show convincingly how mad and really outraged we are about it, we will not wake anybody up (Ephesians 5:14).”
And so, after each Feast, it is back to having to live in a godless system and doing everything we can to get behind the Work that the Church is doing in anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ.
Mr Link writes about “the horrible sinful conduct of our [National] leaders and the people” and it is interesting to see that three consecutive UK Prime Ministers oversaw changes that the nation now accepts as the norm, but changes that God totally condemns in His Word.
Tony Blair (1997-2007) followed by Gordon Brown (2007-2010) and then David Cameron (2010-2016) all pursued, over a period of 19 years as leaders of the UK, the promotion of homosexuality and, it appears, were proud of their achievements in this regard.
The gov.uk website on the History of the UK Government states as follows: “Why is history important? Governments are remembered for their leaders and the course they set for their country.” Quite so, and what these three leaders achieved has helped to set us on the path of destruction that now lies before us. The promotion of perversion is something that people seem to be so proud of! But not God!
This UK government website has this to say about Tony Blair:
“Major Acts – Civil Partnership Act 2004: allowed legal recognition of civil partnership relationship between two people of the same sex.”
The same website has this to say aboutDavid Cameron:
“Major acts – Fixed Term Parliaments Act 2010 Academies Act 2010 Education Act 2011 Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 Succession to the Crown Act 2013.”
In 2009, The Christian Institute reported that “Gordon Brown is in negotiations with France and Spain in an attempt to get British civil partnerships legal recognition in EU member states. These negotiations form part of Gordon Brown’s campaign for ‘gay rights’ recognition across Europe. During an interview with a gay lifestyle magazine, Mr Brown said: “I’m fighting to get all the countries in Europe to recognise civil partnerships carried out in Britain.’”
Since David Cameron left the Prime Ministerial office in 2016, there have been 5 Prime Ministers, none of whom have shown the slightest interest in rectifying this God-defying legislation probably because it has become so ingrained in society that to do so would signal their immediate political demise.
Recently, in November 2024, two well-known female professional footballers who are engaged, announced that they were expecting a baby. While this news received much support from well-wishers across the game, it also prompted what one fans’ group called “hateful comments” on social media. Chelsea Pride, an LGBTQ+ supporters’ group, condemned the comments in a statement posted on social media platform X. “Homophobia has no place in football, at Chelsea, or in our society,” it said. Another headline said that it was “another reminder of how far society has to go,” meaning that full acceptance of this practice was not yet achieved.
It appears that there were “homophobic” comments on social media. Exactly what they were are not explained but it could be that saying such behaviour is unacceptable and that homosexuality is wrong is counted today as homophobic. We are told that we do not only have to accept such behaviour but approve of it and, whenever possible, promote it.
This societal acceptance and promotion of sin has become accepted conformity and part of the grievance industry. And I am hopping mad about it!
A question to always ask is what have been the fruits of this behaviour. We now have, in the UK, the most sinful sexual conduct ever seen in this once great nation. We have (supposedly) over 70 different sexual designations and the weirdest conduct ever seen.
But there’s even more outrageous and ridiculous behaviour. In June 2023, the Daily Mail reported that “Britain’s strictest headteacher has said children allowed to self-identify as animals, moons and holograms should be moved to another school by their parents.” This was already seen as saying too much. It was demanded that the headteacher had to allow such self-identification of children at any school.
And so, if children want, they are now allowed to self-identify as whatever comes into their minds. What on earth are their parents doing to allow this gross stupidity? It has got to the stage that if our ten-year-old pet chihuahua wanted to self-identify as a human being, it is hardly likely that any criticism would be made of it, such is the state of play in our educational system and society today! (I jest, but only just!)
Isaiah 3:4-5 is an excellent commentary which will be ignored by most people: “I will give children to be their princes, And babes shall rule over them. The people will be oppressed, Every one by another and every one by his neighbor; The child will be insolent toward the elder, And the base toward the honorable.”
And finally, in this Editorial, I get very upset indeed when I hear blasphemy on a daily basis, taking the Name of God, of both the Father and of Jesus Christ, in vain by so many in society today, from the very young to the oldest, not seeming to care one jot about what they are saying. Am I mad about that? Absolutely!
I have just mentioned these areas briefly where I am mad and outraged about what is going on. And there’s more, but space does not permit me to expand further. I hope that it shows in this Editorial that we should get mad at what is going on in this Satan-inspired society!
