Israeli Airstrike Makes It Clear To Iran That It Cannot Hide In Syria

Iran

Stopping Iran's entrenchment in Syria has become a top Israeli goal. The Israeli Air Force has shifted into a high operational tempo to keep up with the constantly changing threat including the attacks this past weekend that targeted Iranian sites in and around Damascus, as well as Syrian air-defense batteries.

GUTLESS: Pastor David Platt Who Famously Prayed Over President Trump On Sunday Now Begs His Laodicean Church Congregation To ‘Forgive Him’ For Doing It

GUTLESS: Pastor David Platt Who Famously Prayed Over President Trump On Sunday Now Begs His Laodicean Church Congregation To ‘Forgive Him’ For Doing It

by Geoffrey Grider

Pastor David Platt says he 'hurt' congregation by praying for Trump during unscheduled visit

Many a night I have dreamt and pondered long about what I would do if I had the chance to witness to President Trump, how I would witness to him and tell him of his lost condition and his need of the Saviour Jesus Christ. This clown David Platt had that opportunity thrown right in his lap, and this is what he does with it.

You can file this story in the 'Laodicean Church Update' folder with all the rest of our articles about the end times, professing Christian church who has become nothing but a over-educated, money focused, lukewarm pile of poop. What a terrible state the church is in these days, don't you wish Jesus would have warned us that this day would eventually come? Ohhhh, wait a minute, He did warn us.
"And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." Revelation 3:14-16 (KJV)
The really sad part of all this is not just another gutless pastor who doesn't possess the courage of his convictions, if he has any convictions. No, the really sad part of all this is that it will only keep getting worse and worse, right up to the moment Jesus comes in the clouds to mercifully pluck us up and out of here in the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. So with that, let's look at the amazing opportunity that Pastor David Platt was given, and let's watch as he takes this precious gift and smashes it to pieces with his Laodicean cowardice.

David Platt prays for President Trump after he unexpectedly shows up at church service

OK, it started out perfect, like it was Scripted by the Author. Here is Pastor Platt's prayer in its entirety. President Donald Trump made a brief unannounced visit to McLean Bible Church Sunday morning where Pastor David Platt prayed for him on stage:
"Oh God, we praise You as the one universal king over all," Platt prayed with one hand holding an open Bible and the other hand on Trump's back. "You are our leader and our lord and we worship You. There is one God and one savior and it's You. Your name is Jesus and we exalt you, Jesus.
"And we know, we need Your mercy. We need Your grace, we need Your help, we need Your wisdom in our country. And so we stand right now, on behalf of our president, and we pray for Your grace, and Your mercy, and Your wisdom upon him.
"God, we pray that he would know how much You love him. So much that You sent Jesus to die for his sins, our sins, so we pray that he would look to You. That he would trust in You. That he would lean on You. That he would govern and make decisions in ways that are good for justice, and good for righteousness, and good for equity, every good path.
"Lord we pray, we pray that You would give him all the grace he needs to govern in ways we just saw in 1 Timothy, chapter 2, that will lead to peaceful and quiet lives, Godly and dignified in every way.
"God, we pray for your blessing, in that way, upon his family. We pray that you would give them strength, we pray that you give them clarity, wisdom.
"Wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Please, oh God, give him wisdom. And help him to lead our country, alongside other leaders.
"We pray today for leaders in Congress. We pray for leaders in courts. We pray for leaders at national and state levels.
"Please, oh God, help us to look to You. Help us to trust in Your word. Help us to seek Your wisdom and live in ways that reflect Your love and Your grace, Your righteousness and Your justice. We pray for Your blessings on our president toward that end. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen."
Trump left without giving a speech and was mouthing the words "thank you" as he waved to the applauding audience as he walked off stage. source
Wow, that was pretty good, right? Pastor Platt covered not all the bases, he left out the national prayer for repentance we read about in Daniel 9, but all in all it was pretty good. The things started to go south when members of his Laodicean congregation were 'not happy' with the contents of the pastor's prayer.

Pastor Platt apologized after saying he 'hurt' his congregation by praying for President Trump during unscheduled visit

The pastor of a Northern Virginia church has acknowledged hurting some in his congregation by praying for President Trump when the president made an unscheduled stop at his church on Sunday. Pastor David Platt of McLean Bible Church in Vienna said he made the decision in haste and he did not intend his prayer to be an endorsement of Mr. Trump or any political stance.
“Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we didn’t see coming, and we’re faced with a decision in a moment when we don’t have the liberty of deliberation, so we do our best to glorify God,” Mr. Platt said in a statement to church members. “I found myself in one of those situations.”
Referring to the biblical passage of 1 Timothy 2:1-6, the pastor said, “My aim was in no way to endorse the president, his policies, or his party, but to obey God’s command to pray for our president and other leaders to govern in the way this passage portrays.”
“I know that some within our church, for a variety of valid reasons, are hurt that I made this decision,” the pastor said. “This weighs heavy on my heart. I love every member of this church, and I only want to lead us with God’s Word in a way that transcends political party and position, heals the hurts of racial division and injustice, and honors every man and woman made in the image of God.” READ MORE
At the first sign of trouble, and by 'trouble' we mean Pastor Platt begins to see his donations going down after so publically praying for President Trump, this gutless Laodicean coward then proceeds to apologize to his congregation for the 'unforgivable sin' of praying for our president. What a tremendous opportunity he had to teach his people about Romans 13, and to expound on 2 Timothy chapter 4 and all the other places in Paul's writings that deal with this topic.
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:2-4 (KJV)
Many a night I have dreamt and pondered long about what I would do if I had the chance to witness to President Trump, how I would witness to him and tell him of his lost condition and his need of the Saviour Jesus Christ. This clown had that opportunity thrown right in his lap, and this is what he does with it. Shameful. Disgusting. Laodicea.

Please Contact Pastor Platt And Let Him Know How You Feel

We invite all of our NTEB reader base to contact McLean Bible Church and tell them via email and/or phone call just how much you either like or do not like his gutless, Laodicean apology. Can you imagine that a Christian would ever apologize for praying for or praying over anyone?
You can click here to contact Pastor Platt and his Laodicean church organization. Please be respectful along with being truthful and honest. Thank you.

And Just Like That, UFOs Are Suddenly An Accepted Mainstream Topic Of Conversation With Our Government Acting Like It’s Always Been That Way

And Just Like That, UFOs Are Suddenly An Accepted Mainstream Topic Of Conversation With Our Government Acting Like It’s Always Been That Way

by Geoffrey Grider

A sign of change? Feelings of frustration? Ulterior motives? These are all ideas that have been coming to the mind of those who have been well aware of the factual reality that UFOs are in fact real, verifiable for at least the last 3 or 4 decades.

When we first started reporting on UFO sightings here at NTEB back in 2010, those stories oftentimes met with ridicule and mild disdain. We reported not on 'little green men' but on legit sightings of UFOs seen by credible people both in civilian and military life. Then about two years ago, an incredible paradigm shift began to take place within our government and in other governments around the world.
"Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it." Zechariah 5:1-3 (KJV)
Without issuing any sort of official proclamation, the United States government in general and the Pentagon in particular began speaking openly of not one, not two, but dozens and dozens of verified sightings of UFOs. It's the strangest thing, really, but that's exactly what happened. In 2019, our government casually mentions UFO encounters like it's something they have always done. They even have official 'UFO Reporting Guidelines' like it's always been their policy. Strange.
So here we find ourselves in end times with the government acting like UFOs are the most natural thing in the world, and you can just forget all about the hundreds of denials they have issued on the topic since the first reported actual sighting occurred in 1947. Is it just me, or is the fact that the Roswell sighting on July 8, 1947 that happened mere months before Israel was officially regathered as a nation just an amazing coincidence? Hmm, now that's a good question.

And Just Like That, UFOs Are Real In The Mainstream

FROM COLLECTIVE EVOLUTION: People’s newsfeed have been exploding with UFO headlines for the past 3 or 4 days. Denied, ridiculed and made out to be crazy, those who knew now see the mainstream media talking about UFOs and are wondering why. I’m not talking about one or two articles here and there, I’m talking about seeing headline after headline to the point where you can’t ignore the fact that someone is going to come up to you and finally say “hey did you see that thing about how UFOs are now real?”

Have a look at just a few I got, all published 3 days ago, from one quick Google search:

  • UFOs Are Real, But Don’t Assume They’re Alien Spaceships – Space.com
  • Former US Defense official: We know UFOs are real – here’s why that’s concerning – Fox News
  • UFOs Exist And Everyone Needs To Adjust To That Fact – Washington Post
  • When Two Navy Pilots Saw a UFO Shaped ‘Like a Giant Tic Tac’ – The Daily Beast
I don’t think anyone will complain about these admissions, in fact, I feel most welcome it, but there is some nuance to this discussion that is very helpful to understand, especially for those that might be a bit newer to the subject.

Feelings of Frustration

Some people in the UFO community who have been well aware that UFOs are real for the last 20 or 30 years are perhaps going to feel frustrated as now the public decides to listen and take the subject seriously because the mainstream media, who has given no reason for people to trust them, has finally admitted this to be true. This comes after years of denial and making fun of the subject. This is an understandable feeling, and one worthy of processing, but there is something to be inspired about here and getting stuck in this feeling simply won’t serve us for too long.

Ulterior Motives

As Space.com puts it, “Aliens shouldn’t be the default explanation for weird stuff in the sky.” And this is true, the conversation truly is about asking who is manning these craft? They have been around, studied and have been widely documented by government and intelligence agencies for years, but all this hidden from the public.
Why now? Why is there finally admission? Perhaps it’s time humanity finally hears the truth… en masse. Perhaps this is about controlling a narrative that has slowly been getting ‘out of control’ due to the rise of independent media. Millions of people tune into the truth and insight of independent media like us here at Collective Evolution, perhaps those who kept such a tight seal on the UFO/ET subject are now attempting to once again gain the upper hand on how the UFO/ET narrative is told.
Why is that important? Think of it this way, for years and years now, the truth has already been out there in media, just not in the mainstream. Thousands and thousands of declassified government documents have evidently shown UFOs are real, and that has been very clear. But there is one other thing to consider: many documents, military and government whistleblowers also have disclosed that they know some of these craft are manned by ETs. In fact, they are aware that multiple races have been interacting with humanity.
“…with absolute certainty, that four species, four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years. . . . There’s been a lot more activity in the last few decades, since we invented the atomic bomb, and they are very concerned about that, and the fact that we might use it again, because the whole cosmos is a unity and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos,” – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Minister of Defense source
For this knowledge to come out would mean not only would there be UFO admission but an admission of ETs. This, however, isn’t happening. Instead, we have been given only a tiny piece to the puzzle, thus controlling the narrative, controlling the disclosure of something everyone has the right to know. Why?
Well, the implications of this knowledge go deep and leave no aspect of humanity untouched. We’re talking changes to core belief systems, religions, and so forth. We’re talking changes to the very robotic nature by which we go about daily life. Not to mention getting into the technological questions that come when we begin to ask how these crafts move and do the maneuvers they do. Can you say free energy? Kicking fossil fuel, wind and solar industries out the window for technology the government has known exists for many decades now.
There is no other way but to say this bluntly: admission of intelligence behind these crafts is too big a threat to the enslaving infrastructures we have, and thus it’s important to control the narrative.

A Sign of Change

Perhaps the most inspiring aspect of this conversation is that we truly can be saying to ourselves “things are changing, perceptions are changing, our minds are opening up.” Which is a good thing. I have long discussed that the importance of the ET conversation truly lies in consciousness. The fact that humanity’s curiosity about ETs has grown immensely in recent years has an underlying conversation about consciousness that cannot be avoided. I wrote about this in detail in an article titled Why Humanity Is So Obsessed With Finding Aliens Right Now.
To summarize it, we are in a deep search for what we know to be true within ourselves, and that search will expand our way of being and living immensely. It will also help evolve us out of this destructive state we are collectively in.
The core to this conversation is that yes, things are changing enough to the point where the mainstream media and authoritative aspects of our societal infrastructures, like government and mainstream media, must begin to widely admit the reality of subjects like this, but also we must be critical in our thinking about how narratives are trying to be controlled here.
The conversation does not have to stop at UFOs however. Some feel recent admissions are to pave the way for revealing the US’ space force that has already been created, this may be partly true, but we must also look at the discussion of ETs and what we ALREADY know about them. READ MORE

Pope Francis Authorizes Major Change In ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ Removing ‘Lead Us Not Into Temptation’ Because He Doesn’t Understand What It Means

New post on Now The End Begins

Pope Francis Authorizes Major Change In ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ Removing ‘Lead Us Not Into Temptation’ Because He Doesn’t Understand What It Means

by Geoffrey Grider

Pope Francis Approves Changes to Lord’s Prayer & Gloria of Italian Missal

According to the new translation, the Lord's Prayer will no longer say "and lead us not into temptation" but will become "do not let us fall/be abandoned into temptation."

First of all, this 'breaking news' is really more of a non-starter, Pope Francis did not "change the Bible' for he has no power to do that. What he changed was the Italian Missal which is not Bible and is only used in the Roman Catholic mass, so it's not even Christian it's Catholic. Pope Francis changed the wording in The Lord's Prayer from "And lead us not into temptation" into the meaningless "do not let us fall/be abandoned into temptation." Why would he do this? Well, for one, Francis has no understanding of the Bible in either Testament, that's why.
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)
The places in the Bible where the Lord's Prayer appears - Matthew 6, Luke 11, - are listed in the New Testament geographically but doctrinally are still Old Testament. Hebrews 9 tells us that a 'testament in not in force' until the 'death of the testator', right? So doctrinally, it is not the New Testament until Jesus dies on the cross. So who was Jesus talking to in Matthew 6 and Luke 11? Old Testament Jews under the Law of Moses, that's who. If you will take a moment and read Solomon's amazing prayer in 1 Kings 8, you will come away with a fresh understanding of 'The Lord's Prayer' listed in the gospels. Here's just a small sample to whet your biblical whistle, the similarities jump out instantly:
"Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them: For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee." 1 Kings 8:49-52 (KJV)
Pope Francis changed the text of the verse because as an unsaved Catholic with no understanding of God or the Bible, Francis cannot comprehend a God who would lead people 'into temptation'. Certainly that is not the case of the born again, Church Age believer because we are "flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone'. Born again Christians have a relationship with God that people in the gospels before the cross did not have. Let that sink in for a moment.
But as far as not 'leading people into temptation', Pope Francis should read the writings of our apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians and see for himself what God is more than happy to do with the gospel-rejecting people who are 'left behind' after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church takes place. See for yourself if you think I'm not telling you the truth:
"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 9-12 (KJV)
How about them apples, Francis, what do you think of that? Almost makes you want to get saved, doesn't it? God intentionally sending people a 'strong delusion' for the purpose of 'damning them' because they rejected the gospel in the Church Age. After the Rapture, the world is plunged into the time of Jacob's trouble, and that time will be very much like it was in the gospels and in the first 7 chapters of Acts. Paul's gospel will not be doctrine at that point, but Hebrews, James, Jude and parts of 1&2 Peter will be. The people left behind after the Rapture will indeed be asking God, begging God, not to lead them into temptation because they will already be in the greatest time of trial and temptation this world will ever see. But you have to be saved to understand the Bible, born again with the Holy Spirit inside of you. And that is a concept quite foreign to Pope Francis and his followers.

Pope Francis approves revised translation of Italian Missal

FROM LA CROIX INT'L: Pope Francis has approved the revised translation of the missal for Italy and includes changes to the Lord's Prayer and Gloria. Italian Catholic bishops' conference president Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti announced that Pope Francis authorized the publication of the revised translation of the third edition of the Messale Romano, according to Avvenire, the daily newspaper of the Italian bishops' conference.
It will be some months before the books are printed and available for use. The bishops had approved the translation last November.
According to the new translation, the Lord's Prayer will no longer say "and lead us not into temptation" but will become "do not let us fall/be abandoned into temptation."
The Gloria will also be revised. "Peace on earth to people of good will" will become "Peace on Earth to people beloved by God."
Pope Francis in 2017 issued Magnum principium that called for translations which are both faithful to Latin and respectful of the local language. It is this second quality which was seen to suffer in the overly literalist translations.
Francis had also restored authority over translations to bishops' conferences, as the Second Vatican Council had decreed, rolling back the tendency of previous decades at centralism.
The Holy See no longer gives a recognitio by which it approves vernacular translations; it now gives a confirmatio that confirms decisions made by the bishops' conferences. The forthcoming Italian missal has received confirmatio from the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, according to Pray Tell. READ MORE

Fury Erupts After Biological Male Craig ‘CeCe’ Telfer Wins National Title In The 400-Meter NCAA Championship Competing As A Transgender ‘Woman’ Against Actual Women

New post on Now The End Begins

Fury Erupts After Biological Male Craig ‘CeCe’ Telfer Wins National Title In The 400-Meter NCAA Championship Competing As A Transgender ‘Woman’ Against Actual Women

by Geoffrey Grider

Transgender woman who previously competed in the men's division wins women's national title in the 400-meter hurdles at NCAA championship

Transgender 'woman' Craig Telfer who previously competed as a man has become a National Collegiate Athletic Association NCAA track champion running as CeCe Telfer

The loony Liberal Left is finding out the hard way that surgery does not 'change your gender', and that a hormone regimen does not miraculously change you from a man to a woman. Politics never trumps science, and bullying cannot overcome biology. Such is the case with Craig Telfer who just beat a bunch of women to steal the NCAA 400-Meter hurdles championship. That's right, I said he stole the title, he did not in any respect of the word 'win' this race. People now are outraged, and rightly so.
"But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female." Mark 10:6 (KJV)
When God made men and women, He made them to be complimentararily different, meaning one had something the other needed and together they became whole. Men and women are not equal, and neither can they ever be equal. Men will always be faster and stronger, and there is nothing you can do to change that. When Craig Telfer took some hormones, changed his name to cece, added fake breasts and put on makeup he did not'become a woman'. To say that he did is a grievous insult to women everywhere. You would have to be an idiot to think that was true, but guess what? We now live in the age of idiots and idiocy where you magically become whatever you want to 'identify' as.
Look at the photo in this article up at the top, look at the expressions of disgust on the faces of the real women that Craig is competing against. They know it's not fair, he knows it's not fair, anyone with a functioning brain would agree with that. Before he became 'Cece', Craig Telfer was absolutely mediocre as a runner, now as a fake woman he's suddenly a champion. We cannot possibly survive as a culture if this type of nonsense is allowed to take root and become the norm, it is sheer lunacy.

Transgender 'woman' who previously competed in the men's division wins women's national title in the 400-meter hurdles at NCAA championship

FROM DAILY MAIL UK: CeCe Telfer clinched the women's 400-meter hurdles national title at the 2019 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships for Franklin Pierce University on May 25.  Her triumph has been surrounded by controversy as many in the running world express concerns that transgender athletes competing in women's sports may have an unfair advantage.
Telfer completed the course with a stunning time of 57.53s, with the second place opponent trailing far behind with a score of 59.21s. She also earned All-American First Team honors with a fifth-place finish in the 100m hurdles earlier in the day.
2016: Craig Telfer is ranked 200th
2017: Craig Telfer is ranked 390th
2018: Craig Telfer 'transitions to female'
2019: CeCe Telfer is national championhttps://t.co/KHXaIjhYvopic.twitter.com/Uoy72PCqkR
— Adam Ford (@Adam4d) May 31, 2019
Telfer's coach Zach Emerson praised his team member's performance, saying: 'It was tough conditions out here with the wind and the heat over the last three days but, as she has over the last six months, CeCe proved herself to be tough enough to handle it.
'Today was a microcosm of her entire season; she was not going to let anything slow her down. I've never met anybody as strong as her mentally in my entire life.' Telfer was born and raised as Craig and competed on the men's team at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire from 2016 to 2018, even though she personally identified as a woman.

In the 2016-2017 season, Telfer was not even in the top 200 male athletes in her event.

Her last competition as Craig was in January 2018, when she finished eighth in a field of nine in the Men's 400 meters at the Middlebury Winter Classic in Vermont.  After that race Telfer resigned from the men's team and underwent gender reassignment surgery before joining the women's team that October.
Under NCAA guidelines male athletes are eligible to compete as women if they suppress their testosterone levels for a full calendar year. Before the year-mark, they can compete on mixed-sex teams in the men's division but not the women's.
Telfer's couch Emerson claims that the vast improvement she is displaying this current season versus the previous three comes down to the increased effort she's put in.
'She's been been incredibly motivated this year and I think the transition one million percent had something to do with that. It's like night and day as far as what she was willing to do as an athlete and how committed she was,' Emerson said.
Telfer's most recent championship, which made her Franklin Pierce University's first gold medalist in the event, has reignited the debate over whether issues surrounding transgender athletes are being handled fairly.
Robert Johnson broached the topic in a column for Let'sRun.com, writing: 'The fact that Telfer can change her gender and immediately become a national champion is proof positive as to why women's sports needs protection.
'Telfer ran slightly faster in the 400 hurdles competing as a man (57.34) than as a woman (57.53), even though the men's hurdles are six inches taller than the women's hurdles.
'Yet when Telfer ran 57.34 as a man, she didn't even score at her conference meet — she was just 10th at the Northeast-10 Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 2016. 'Now she's the national champion.'  READ MORE

Pride Month In June Is A Great Time Of The Year To Tell The Lost LGBTQ+ People Where You Live About Their Need Of The Saviour, Jesus Of Nazareth

New post on Now The End Begins

Pride Month In June Is A Great Time Of The Year To Tell The Lost LGBTQ+ People Where You Live About Their Need Of The Saviour, Jesus Of Nazareth

by Geoffrey Grider

Pride Month Great Time To Witness To Lost LGBTQ+ People About Salvation In Jesus Christ The Saviour

Pride month is a great time of the year to reach the lost LGBTQ+ person with the live saving gospel of the grace of God, will YOU go tell them about the Saviour?

If you're a born again Christian, I want to share with you a fantastic opportunity to reach the lost right where you live. June is the start of many things in America, first and foremost it heralds the beginning of glorious summerime, backyard parties, trips to the beach, end of the school year and vacations. It is also the start of Pride Month for the LGBTQ+ people, and is an incredible chance for  you to share the gospel of the grace of God with the lost gay, lesbian, trans and queer people who will be out in force as you see in the above photo I took yesterday on St. George street in Saint Augustine while we were street preaching.
"To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you." 1 Corinthians 9:22,23 (KJV)
As Christians, we have been given the ministry of reconciliation, that is to say sharing the gospel with the lost so that they might be won to Jesus Christ and get saved. We are not Old Testament prophets who are pronouncing fiery judgment down on people, we are the New Testament ambassadors of Jesus Christ! When we preach on the street, we preach new life in Jesus Christ through His shed blood. We tell lost people who they can have their sins forgiven and have a hope of Heaven. We also tell them about a nasty place called Hell, which burns with fire unquenchable, and plead with them not to go there. LGBTQ+ people are no different than any other lost sinner who needs Jesus.
Can you love them enough to give them a gospel tract and tell them the truth?
"And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (KJV)
When I wrote about my personal testimony last year of how I got saved, I shared with you all how my 'spiritual search' for Truth was triggered by the death of my older brother Bob, a homosexual who died of AIDS. He was a lovely, sweet soul and my best friend on this earth. He died in 1988, and I miss him all the time. So when I witness to the lost LGBTQ+ person, I show them the same love and respect I would have wanted someone who might have witnessed to my brother to show him. It accomplishes nothing to call them names, mock them or belittle them. You cannot reach someone for Jesus if you don't have love for them, love is supposed to be the defining trait of the born again believer. You can tell someone the undiluted truth of the gospel without being mean to them, we do it all the time on the streets. But you can't reach people for Jesus without a healthy dose of love.

What does the 'whole package' of pure love and pure truth without compromise look like? This is it right here:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." John 3:16-19 (KJV)
One time not too long ago, we were preaching on the streets and two lesbians walked past me holding hands. As soon as they heard me preaching the gospel, they thought they would have a little 'fun' with me, probably to see if the could get a rise out of  me and make me look foolish. But the Holy Spirit was with me and gave me wisdom. The two lesbians stopped right in front of me and gave each other a fairly deep kiss, then looked at me to see my reaction. But the reaction they got they were in no wise prepared for.
When they stopped kissing, I looked at them and told them not to quit on my account, and that if they truly wanted to do that then by all means keep doing it. To say they were shocked is an understatement! I looked at them both as lovingly as I could and told them that lesbianisn was not their biggest problem, and that something much larger than that was waiting for them right around the metaphorical corner. I told them that their real problem was that, like all people, they had unpaid for sin in their life, but had no Saviour to pay the price for them, and as such they would have to pay for it themselves in a place called Hell. I said it nicely, seriously, sweetly and offered them a tract.
"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." Luke 14:23 (KJV)
Like I said, June is Pride Month, and it's a great time to share the gospel of the grace of God with the lost LGBTQ+ people where you live. Click on the link below to order your box of NTEB gospel tracts, and go out and tell them about the Saviour Jesus Christ. And when you do, please be nice. Witness to them they way you would want someone to witness to the lost LGBTQ+ member in your family. Your sins and my sins were not one bit less filthy in the eyes of God than their sins are, and the same shed blood that paid for our sins on the cross at Calvary is able to pay for their sins, too. Go tell them. You can hate the Pride Movement, and you can hate the Pride Month agenda, but you have to love the people enough to tell them how to get saved.

The Streets Were Filled With LGBTQ+ People Yesterday For Start Of Pride Month

As Christians, we have been given the ministry of reconciliation, that is to say sharing the gospel with the lost so that they might be won to Jesus Christ and get saved. We are not Old Testament prophets who are pronouncing fiery judgment down on people, we are the New Testament ambassadors of Jesus Christ!
