D E I – – – BIBLE VERSION 1.00
March 1, 2023 By Leave a Comment
(There will never be a version 2.0)
Diversity—
“WHOEVER will, may come.”
“God loved the world so much, that He gave His only Son, so that WHOEVER believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Equity—
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
“Wide the gate—broad the way—to destruction—many go there.”
“Strait the gate (restricted access)—narrow the way—few find it.”
No room for equal outcomes—except those who seek an alternate way than the Bible will all end up equal in hell.
Inclusion—
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.”
“Those who know the judgment of God, and commit such things*, will not inherit the kingdom of heaven—not only do such things, but approve of those who do.”
*”such things” are listed in specific detail in preceding verses:
“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
PERMISSION – PUBLICITY – PRACTICE – PRESSURE – PROMOTION
February 28, 2023 By Leave a Comment
The title summarizes the lgbt activist agenda.
It is obvious that the goal was not just changes to get legal permission for the lifestyle—it had to include publicity as the most significant news of the day, a major breakthrough in society.
It was not enough to gain legal permission and publicity for all things lgbt—it had to include acceptance of practice for the lifestyle across the entertainment media landscape, in the face of anyone who might be uncomfortable.
It was not enough to get legal permission, publicity, and saturation of practice everywhere—it had to include enormous pressure for businesses and governments and organizations and churches to publicly state acceptance of everything demanded by lgbt, as official policy in writing.
It is currently not enough—permission, publicity, practice, pressure—it must now include promotion of anything and everything evil and degrading, designed and destined to destroy this most blessed country.
And why such universal bowing down and caving in to all this?
The enemy of our souls, the enemy of America, has blinded the people and sold a pack of lies.
Christians, the remnant, must stand and speak out against evil, and be counted.
BROKEN FAMILY – – – STEP FAMILY
February 23, 2023 By Leave a Comment
Perhaps the most difficult job in the world is being a single mother, particularly of a son.
Perhaps the second most difficult job can be that of a stepfather.
Perhaps close behind in difficulty is the role of being a stepson.
Other combinations may also be difficult—some more so, some less.
But if this is where you are now, it is very difficult for all.
Because the past is not pretty—overwhelming abuse, sin, shame, guilt, mistakes, fear, despair, anger, sin—it is very hard to shake free, to start over, without part of the family, or with a new family.
Parts of the past return to plague the mind and emotions, and cripple vital decision-making.
Many years of patterns and habits are hard to change.
Everybody is affected, and it is not easier just because so many people are living this today.
Even the multitude of helps and advice do not seem to make the challenge less.
– – –
+Wherever you are on this road, just don’t keep your situation a secret, for any reason—embarrassment, fear, thinking you can handle it, waiting for “a second time” to call for help, spiritual reasons (like doubt, just pray, just wait, just repent, just believe), failure again, never win.
+Talk to someone who cares, and don’t depend on one person’s views or advice. Beware of storytelling that doesn’t do anything for you. Beware of spiritual piety—real offers to pray for you include praying with you right then.
+The battle for our families is unavoidable in the spiritual realm—don’t be afraid to say, ‘NO, IN THE NAME OF JESUS’ to the devil out loud as many times as necessary. But be sure every time to immediately ask Jesus to come in and fill the empty space. Don’t give up if the devil tries again and again—that’s why I said, ‘as many times as necessary.’
+If possible, pray for each child while you touch them or hold them.
+Read the Bible with your children, and have them read the Bible aloud, as well as encourage them to read their own Bible the last thing before they go to sleep. Do the same as parents. We all need the spiritual protection.

Each parent start with this, separately:
Five minutes the very first thing every morning.
Five minutes the very last thing every night.
+Ask Jesus to come and be in charge of all of your day, and all of your night, and thank Him.
+Read something in your Bible.

After doing that for a week or more together, then add this, together with your children:
+Tell them what you have been doing. (If your children are grown and not at home, tell them also.)
+Give each of them a Bible passage to read aloud.
+After a week or more, give each of them a longer passage or chapter to read aloud.
By then you will know what to do about time and conversation and questions and praying.

THERE’S A HOLE IN THE SHIP
February 18, 2023 By Leave a Comment
There’s a hole in the ship, and we’re going down—Titanic.
There’s a hole in the ship, and we’re going down—America.
The hole in the ship of America is abortion.
– – –
Lord, have mercy/judgment on the states that shake their fists in the face of God, and vehemently advocate enlarging the hole of abortion in the ship of America.
How long can this go on?
+mercy ? — How could that happen?”
Americans in abortion states would have to repent of personal sins and repent of voting for democrats.
All but two democrats (from Texas) voted against a bill in the House of Representatives to keep babies alive that survive abortion.
+judgment ? — How could that happen?
God has His ways—look through history and His Word, what He does with “the wicked” and “all the nations that forget God.”
The only judgment that is off limits for God is a worldwide flood.
He used enemy armies.
He used slavery.
He used snakes.
He used earthquakes.
He used cracks in the ground that swallowed thousands.
He used fire and brimstone (supernatural nukes).
He used wars.
He used drought.
He used famine.
He used famine of His Word.
He used death.
He used “giving them over” to their own abominations, with natural consequences.
The judgments of 9-11 worked for only a few weeks.
The economic judgment of 2008 brought change in finances without change in hearts.
Tests in weather and tests in power grid failures don’t seem to change anything.
Increased murders and isolated terrorist attacks don’t bring repentance to revival.
– – –
So how could judgment of God happen today?
He will decide how.
BUT HE WILL JUDGE ! ! !
He could bury California in the Pacific.
He could bury New York and Washington in nuclear rubble.
He could bury all our technology in fried electronics with the sun or an emp.
He could order a hundred or a thousand simultaneous terrorist attacks to bring us to our knees.
He could let ninety percent of Americans starve without electricity.
– – –
We are totally dependent on everything that is fragile, but not dependent on God.
AND THAT IS UNSUSTAINABLE.
How about you ?
– – –
God bless the states that end this disaster of abortion now.
But they are still part of America, at least for now.
Just like this country 160 years ago in the Civil War, “this union cannot exist half slave and half free”—likewise America today cannot survive, cannot endure half death and half life.
SHOULD BE – – – SHOULD HAVE BEEN
February 18, 2023 By Leave a Comment
As times get more intense (ominous, prophetic, end-times obvious)—
“Should be any time now . . .”*
As times get really bad, and worse (obviously end-times prophecy fulfilled)—
“Should have happened by now . . .”*
– – –
This is troubling.
As long as certain events haven’t happened yet, and as long as Christians in America aren’t in really big trouble yet, we can maintain our position of “We’re out of here before it gets too bad.”
Troubling, yes, because . . .
The American Christian experience has been the exception to the rest of Christian history and the rest of Christian experience around the world today.
If you applied the prevailing teaching on the timing of the rapture in many other places, the reaction would be, “God’s a little late.”
*Rapture—
“Should happen about now.”
“Should have happened by now.”
What if it doesn’t happen in time, in the time frame most preachers seem so confident about?
What if the minority view is more right?
What if a consensus doesn’t determine the end time sequence?
What if God’s calendar is not what we think it should be?
MODERN AMERICAN SLAVERY
February 15, 2023 By Leave a Comment
What does all slavery, in any time of history, depend on to maintain stability between owner and slave?
Think for a moment about different examples of slavery.
What do they have in common?
– – –
+First, the master/slave relationship is not open for negotiation—at least not by the slave.
+The master can only make limited concessions, because he must maintain complete control. If he relaxes control, he will likely lose the slave—and every slave means money for the master.
+So, money is the motivation for the slave owner.
– – –
What is the motivation for the slave, if any?
– – –
+Some slaves are captured and forced into slavery—no motivation.
+Some are enticed or seduced into slavery—motivated by promises of a better life, anything but the current desperation.
+But many enter into slavery by choice—that makes motivation a mystery.
– – –
In modern America, there are two MAJOR cases of widespread slavery where money is the motivation for the slave.
Everyone is encouraged and expected to participate in insurance and retirement.
Americans sacrifice whatever it takes to pay for insurance and stash money for retirement.
This is a recent phenomenon—not universally applicable around the world and not throughout history.
– – –
The prosperity of Americans has recently fueled their perceived need to protect what they have, out of fear that they may lose it—so they pay a lot for insurance, to ‘guarantee’ they can’t lose money, even if they lose property.
The insurance industry is the modern American slave owner, with ever-increasing power and control that makes Americans slaves to insurance.
Fear—fear of loss, and fear of illness—is the motivation for people choosing to slave over insurance payments, that master their lives now.
– – –
The prosperity of Americans has also recently fueled their perceived need to save a lot of money for someday when they don’t have to work, or can’t work—so they pay a lot for retirement, and spend a lot of attention investing that money to protect it and make more money.
Providing for retirement has become such a universal expectation, that you can’t feel right if you don’t.
Fear—fear of less productive senior years, and fear of health crises—is the motivation to slave over storing money now for then, robbing time and resources to enjoy now and use to help others.
The other motivation for sacrificing to build a retirement portfolio is the lifelong goal to just take it easy and enjoy everything one day.
We are slaves to whatever becomes our all-consuming priority, especially for a lifetime.
Reflections on insurance.
Insurance may promise money to pay for loss of stuff, but it does not prevent the loss.
Insurance also promises to pay for damage or injuries from accidents or illness or safety violations, but insurance does not inherently make products safer or guarantee health.
Insurance is like the lottery (called the moron tax)—people voluntarily pay money, with the hope of getting back more than they paid. The odds of winning with insurance? If you lose big, you win big. Kinda odd.
Insurance has grown so big, so fast, that it has become all-consuming for Americans to pay for it, and for the government to regulate it, and that not very successfully.
Reflections on retirement.
How much of the world, and how much of history, has seen such a large percentage of the population saving money for retirement, as in modern America?
As long as the economy sustains stability until a person retires and spends his retirement, there is not much argument against it, but there is still a case for calling it slavery.
About half a century ago, Daddy observed that young people became more concerned about the benefits package of a job than the pay.
Both employers and employees must calculate the extra costs, and added compensation, before agreeing on a job.
The result—ever higher prices for products and services, so we all become slave partners.
FAITHFULNESS IN AFRICA TODAY
February 15, 2023 By Leave a Comment
This will be my longest post on this site, in over a decade of writing. It is a copy of something I read this morning from a leader in the Anglican church of Africa, responding to The Church of England endorsing the blessing of gay ‘marriage.’ The title above tells you what I think—thank God for such leadership coming from Africa. All Christians do well to learn and heed the following.
Statement by Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba on Behalf of the Anglican Church of Uganda
February 10, 2023
Good morning, our Media Evangelists, and Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow!
I have invited you here today to update you and, through you, all our Christians here in Uganda about some recent decisions the Church of England has made. I want to explain them very well to all of us and also explain the Church of Uganda’s position.
The Church of England’s Decision
The General Synod of the Church of England (their top governing body, like our Provincial Assembly) sat yesterday and passed several resolutions that are of great concern to us in Uganda. They have decided to allow clergy to preside at Blessings of Same-sex Unions and have approved supplemental prayers and liturgies for such occasions.
The Church of England is very good at making contradictory statements and expecting everyone to believe both can be true at the same time. That’s what they have done with this decision.
On the one hand, they say that the Church of England has not changed its doctrine of marriage, namely that marriage is a lifelong union between one man and one woman.
On the other hand, they are giving clergy permission to preside at services of Blessing for same-sex unions, especially for gay couples who are already considered “married” by the British government. In other words, a gay couple joined together in a civil marriage would then go to the church to receive prayers of blessing.
The only significant difference between a wedding and a service of “blessing” is the terminology used.
The Church of England insists it is not changing its doctrine of marriage. But, in practice, they are doing precisely that. You may read various articles, opinions, and commentaries on this decision that try to justify its action.
But, what I want you to know is that if it looks like a wedding, and sounds like a wedding… it IS a wedding.
The Church of Uganda’s Position
Now, I want to talk about the position of the Church of Uganda. There have been very many questions about it in light of this terrible decision of the Church of England.
1. First, from the first page of the Bible in the book of Genesis to the last page of the Bible in the book of Revelation, it is clear that God’s design for human flourishing is that we are part of a family – a family that is defined as one man and one woman united in holy matrimony for life and, God willing, a union that produces children. God’s Word has said that the only context for sexual relationships is in the context of a marriage of one man and one woman.
2. Second. Because lifelong, exclusive marriage between one man and one woman is the only context for sexual relationships, the Bible calls any other kind of sexual relationship a sin. Whether it is adultery, or fornication, or polygamy, or homosexual relationships. They are all sin and they all separate us from God.
a. That means sleeping with your girlfriend or your boyfriend before marriage is a sin.
b. That means that if you are married and have a “side dish,” that is a sin.
c. That means that if you take a second or third wife that is a sin.
d. That means if you engage in homosexual or same-sex sexual relationships, that is a sin.
Yes, God can forgive you, but it requires that you come before God, confess that you have done wrong, and make a commitment to change your way of life – in other words, to repent – and walk in God’s ways.
3. Third. When Jesus was questioned about a woman caught in adultery, he told her to “Go, and sin no more.”
There is a lot of sexual sin in Uganda. I know that, and you know that. Nevertheless, we haven’t changed our message. Our message is the message of the Bible, which is, “Go, and sin no more.”
The Church of England, on the other hand, has now departed from the Bible and their new message is the opposite message of the Bible. They are now saying, “Go, and sin some more.”
They are even offering to bless that sin.
That is wrong.
As Church of Uganda we cannot accept that. God cannot bless what He calls sin.
We all know the story of the Uganda Martyrs, how they refused to engage in homosexual sex with their leaders. They stood firm in their Christian faith and were martyred for it. We cannot betray them or our Lord Jesus Christ. We will not betray the Word of God or His ways. The Bible tells us that Jesus alone is “the way, the truth, and the life,” and that he is the same “yesterday, today, and forever.”
Jesus does not change his mind about what is sinful. Instead, Jesus gives us a way out of a bondage to sin by putting our trust and faith in him as our Saviour and Lord. That’s why it’s possible for us to “Go, and sin no more.”
Important Background
The suicidal path the Church of England has now taken began in the Anglican Communion in 2003 when The Episcopal Church in America consecrated a gay man as a Bishop. As Church of Uganda, we broke fellowship with them at that time, and we have maintained that they are the ones who have left the Anglican faith and, therefore, the Anglican Communion.
In 2008 when the Archbishop of Canterbury refused to discipline The American Episcopal Church for their action, Archbishops from Bible-believing Anglican Provinces around the world organized the first Gafcon conference to bring us together under the Lordship of Christ and the authority of the Bible. Gafcon has always said, “We are not leaving the Anglican Communion; we ARE the Anglican Communion.”
Likewise, the Global South Fellowship of Anglicans has said the same thing. “We are not leaving the Anglican Communion; we ARE the Anglican Communion.”
The Way Forward
We now want to ask the Church of England, “Do you have the integrity to step out of the Anglican Communion because you have departed from the Anglican faith?” God called you to preach a Gospel of repentance and faith. Instead, you’re like Jonah. You have disobeyed and are running in the opposite direction.
God called the church to go to Nineveh and preach repentance, but the Church of England is running to Tarshish and preaching acceptance of sin. There is no way we are walking together.
The Church of England, together with the Episcopal Church in America, the Anglican Church of Canada, the Church in Wales, the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil, and others – these are the Provinces that have walked away, but we pray for them to repent.
And, if they refuse to repent, then we call on them to have the integrity to form their own Canterbury Communion because what they believe is not Anglicanism and it is not the faith once delivered to the saints.
If they want to take their whole church into the belly of a whale, they are free to do that; we are, after all, autonomous Anglican Provinces. We think it’s a bad idea, but they are free to do it.
But, they are NOT free to drag the whole Anglican Communion with them. The Anglican Communion is NOT an extension of the Church of England.
The Church of England has departed from the Anglican faith and are now false teachers. We fear Jesus’ words for them, “If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.” (Rev 2.5b) It’s that serious.
The Church of Uganda has more than 200 members traveling to Kigali in April for the 4th Global Gafcon meeting. We will be there with many Bible-believing Archbishops, Bishops, and Anglicans from all over Africa and the world. These are the ones who have not bowed their knee to Baal. (1 Kings 19.18)
We shall pray, and sit together, and discern the mind of Christ for the way forward. I ask your prayers for wisdom, for, indeed, we need the wisdom of Solomon to know how to faithfully respond to the crisis at hand.
Finally, now that our children are back in school, beware of the well-funded Gay organizations that are recruiting our children into homosexuality. Not only in Kampala, but all over the country. They target our poverty and promise our youth money.
To our youth – if someone invites you to a function and offers you a big transport refund, those are probably bad people. Say “No” to it. And, if you have already been exploited or abused by such groups, please go to your Bishop for prayer, support, and guidance. You will be received with love and compassion.
To our Head Teachers – if an organization is bringing money and resources to your school, or inviting your students to a function, do your research. Make sure you know who they really are.
My fellow Ugandans – we cannot serve God and mammon. We cannot serve God and money. Do not lose your soul because you think you will gain the whole world through the money they offer you. Do not think you can take the money, but not fall into their trap. It’s a lie; you are being exploited with that money.
The Bible says, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” So, just say, “No.”
I am here today to declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!”
The House of Bishops is united on this. The Provincial Assembly is united on this – “As for me and the Church of Uganda, we will serve the Lord.”
To God be the glory!

ARCHBISHOP OF CHURCH OF UGANDA.
