Sylvia Thompson: It is now time for civil disobedience

We all want to be optimistic about the future of our country, we all want the best for our children and future generations, but under present circumstances and in lewd of what happened last week with the two rulings from the United States Supreme Court; Obamacare, and legalizing homosexual marriages, how can we remain optimistic and look forward to a bright future.?

It may not be easy to remain optimistic, but as the great Helen Keller said ” Optimism is the Faith that leads to achievement.  Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

So lets ask for divine guidance, lets put our hope and get answers from the ultimate ruler, as nothing is possible without God.  Josh 1:19 Sylvia Thompson is awesome and so brilliantly smart.

“It is now time for civil disobedience”

I posted an article at Renew America several months ago titled “The Coming Criminalization of Christianity in America.” I suggested that the outcome of the Supreme Court’s decision on homosexual “marriage” would be to enshrine sodomy into American law and in so doing, would decree that all Americans must bow to homofascism. As expected, they have done the despicable deed. Now what?

Many, many so-called Christian leaders will, of course, do nothing other than what they have done throughout the decades, and that is effectively ignore the homosexual lobby and its lawlessness. Other so-called Christian leaders are clearly apostate and have embraced that lawlessness, while falsely claiming that God agrees with them. That is a despicable lie. God does not agree, as Scripture clearly reveals. And then there are those believing Christian leaders who will fight evil. They are the hope of this nation, at least until Almighty God ultimately determines America’s fate.

Pastor William Owens (a black minister) of The Coalition for American Action and Principles (CAAP), consisting of ministers of all races, has decided to take a firm stand. (www.CAAPUS.ORG)

His organization will view the Court’s pernicious decision as equivalent to previous Courts’ decisions against black Americans, who sought equal treatment under law. That was the time when a black American minister Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his followers used the only tool available to them against a gargantuan lawless court system. They took to the streets in civil disobedience. Pastor Owens has announced that his organization will consider doing the same to fight the current Court’s ruling against Christians.

In a similar vein, former high school coach Dave Daubenmire has formed a large group of Christians called the Salt and Light Brigade, referencing Christ’s call to believers to be the salt and light of the world (Matthew 5:11-14). Coach Daubenmire indicates that he will be posting updates on planned acts of resistance to the lawlessness of this Supreme Court. (www.saltandlightbrigade.org)

Bible Christians and the rest of the millions of Americans who made known their staunch opposition to homosexual sham “marriages” through the ballot box (in 31 states), can now stand with these brave men and others like them who have fearlessly chosen to resist. We can declare boldly that we will not be disenfranchised. Why should we allow disenfranchisement in America, where so much blood has been spilled to guarantee us the right of conscience?

It is a given that the pernicious court system aided by a lawless Obama administration will act viciously toward opposing Christians, with a force matching that of Hitler’s Nazi regime. And we should not expect aid from spineless legislators (of any political party) or so-called conservative pundits. They will talk a good game, but most were cowering in their corners hoping for the very decision that the Court has rendered. They can now hide behind that decision and claim their hands are tied (true Pontius Pilates). They will say “The Law” has spoken, when in fact five self-serving, lawless Jurists have forced their godless will upon the American people, again.

More and more Americans will be persecuted, prosecuted, and imprisoned as this Court ruling goes into effect. It is certain to play out that way, because eventually the persecuted will stop accepting lawless court rulings that result in their bankruptcy and Naziesque brainwashing sessions (“sensitivity training”) that are punishment for noncompliance with evil. At some point, Americans being so treated will say “No” and stop responding out of fear. All of America will then grasp what homofascism truly means, as the Germans eventually grasped what Nazism meant.

With the organization and planning that Pastor Owens, Coach Daubenmire, and groups like them will provide, victims of homofascism can now share a sense that they are not alone. Organized Americans stand with them. If a small business is terrorized by activist homosexuals (because most big businesses are already on their knees doing their bidding) or an individual’s job or position is threatened by homosexual tyranny, those people can seek legal protection from groups such as Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), American Counsel for Law and Justice (ACLJ), and Liberty Counsel. All are adept in the legal fight against the enemies of Christianity.

What the Court has done is galvanize decent people into an opposing force, and I thank God for that.

This is now a fight between defiant, flawed humankind (the perverted activists and all who support them) and Almighty God.

I pity the fool who thinks the former will win this one. No matter how many Christians the godless persecute or kill off, Christianity will stand, and they – activist homosexuals, the legislators and judges who bow to them, the apostate Christians and all others who support them – will face Almighty God in due time for their actions.

It does not matter how many of our family members have chosen to live homosexual lifestyles (two of mine died of AIDS). Nor does it matter how many homosexual friends you may claim. We will be called to account for where we choose to stand on this issue of unrepentant homosexual sin and the tyranny that accompanies it. Almighty God is not mocked (Galatians 6:7, 8), and those who are currently flipping Him off, spitting in His face, as it were, will be judged.

It is true that all of us will eventually face judgment, but those who are not willfully defying God need not fear that judgment. God knows who willfully sins and who does not, and for that, all who are repentant and struggling against inherently sinful natures can be grateful.

The fear of God that is expected of us is not the morbid fear of an unjust tyrant, such as the tyrants who now control America. It is a fear that is born out of reverent respect for His overwhelming power and His perfect justice. Like that of a caring and loving Father. Bible Christians must hold fast to this truth.

Pastor Carl Gallups, in one of his recent books, Final Warning: Understanding the Trumpet Days of Revelation,” speaks of chaos enveloping the earth in the last days before the return of Christ. In regard to the latest Supreme Court assault on America’s heritage of freedom of religion, he has this to say to biblical Christians: *

      Let me encourage the children of God, under the blood of Jesus,… We were raised up by God Himself – for such a time as this. It’s not all falling apart. It’s all coming together!

Sylvia Thompson: A Confederate flag does not divide us; leftist ideology does

A Confederate flag does not divide us; leftist ideology does


Sylvia Thompson
June 24, 2015

If Governor Nikki Haley thinks that removing a flag from a capitol building will do anything to alleviate the racial hatred fomented by Barack Obama over the past several years, and the Left throughout the country’s history, she is sadly mistaken. Not only Governor Haley, but every conservative thinker who follows her lead have fallen into the web of deceit that the Left always uses to entrap the gullible.

I recall over the years having seen white supremacists with American flags flying. Their position is that America is being taken away from them by foreigners and people who had no part in forming this nation. Is Old Glory to be the next target because social undesirables use it as a symbol for whatever?

Governor Haley is not part of the black-white heritage of this country, so I don’t expect her to understand more than that a heinous crime has been committed in her state and that she genuinely grieves for the victims and their families. She, however, is being used big time. So are all the others clamoring for the removal and destruction of flags and Civil War monuments in southern states, and even statues in Washington, DC. History happened, folks, that’s what makes it history. You can hide it and distort it, but you will never do away with it.

Since the end of the Civil War, many on the side of the Northern faction of the fight have done their best to demean, denigrate and punish white people of the South. I know this because I was born and reared in the South. The sneering at and looking down upon Southerners, black and white, by some from other parts of the country have become a pastime, these days.

In my reading of history, President Andrew Johnson, the successor to the assassinated President Abraham Lincoln, succeeded in making Reconstruction (the rebuilding of the postwar South) a vindictive program that hurt even repentant Southerners while benefiting northern opportunists (Carpetbaggers) and cynical white Southerners (Scalawags). All of whom exploited alliances with blacks for political gain.

This acerbation of wounds bred a hatred and resentment among defeated Southerners that played out against freed slaves, the only defenseless people in their midst. And so it goes even to this twenty-first century, capitalizing on old hatreds. One can only wonder how much better this nation would have fared had Lincoln lived to negotiate the South’s surrender.

Today’s opportunists taking advantage of black folks are called Leftists: Marxist types, some claiming the mantle of Christianity; garden-variety evil doers of all stripes; and of course the elitist class of well-heeled people who think only they are fit to rule over us, the sweaty masses. A primary goal of the Left is to ensure that the age-old rift between American blacks and whites is never resolved, because blacks will no longer be enslaved to them if it is resolved.

The massacre at the church in Charleston is just another source of leftist exploitation. While everybody’s guard is down, it is a good time to advance a few infractions against the rights of some Americans to maintain their history, a history that is, by the way, part and parcel of American history.

Do not ever believe that taking down a flag will be the end of it. The Left will demand no less than the destruction of America’s soul.

On another note, heinous crime, such as the one that Dylann Roof committed, usually switches our focus to the issues of hate and forgiveness. The survivors of victims of Roof’s massacre have puzzled the public with their decision to forgive him. There is nothing puzzling about a mature Christian’s view of hatred. We understand that hating gets you nowhere, except stressed out and at odds with Christ’s teachings. Only people who do not have a strong grasp of Scripture and the person of Christ are baffled by Christians acting like Christians.

Forgiveness in the biblical sense, however, is sometimes not well understood. We can only forgive someone for what they do to us directly. Dennis Prager, the columnist and radio talk show host, makes this point in one of his recent articles on the events in Charleston.* The survivors can only forgive Roof for the pain and loss that he caused to them. They cannot forgive the deaths of their loved ones; only their dead relatives can forgive him for that. And they are no longer in a position to do so; therefore, Roof must eventually face Almighty God to sue for forgiveness.

Prager, in his article, also offers that it is time for all blacks who hold hatred and animosity toward white Americans to consider forgiving them, now that as a nation, we are contemplating forgiveness. It is fact that Barack Obama and all of his leftist ilk have exacerbated underlying hatred that, over the decades, was being rooted out of the psyche of many Americans of all races. It takes only a few small, hateful men, however, to bring down what so many good people built up. If we get rid of those hate mongers among us (remove them from power and to the ash bin of history where they belong), this nation just might survive.
