Pro-Sodomite Columbia (SC) City Councilman welcomes SC "Pride" Rally

Pro-Abort, Pro-Sodomite Columbia (SC) Mayor Bob Coble a “No Show”

Christian witness of 20 or more, from half a dozen churches, including pastors, missionaries, men, women, and boys; opposing the sinful acts of Sodomy along the Sodomites’ parade route; from Laurel Street along Finlay Park, to North Main Street, and past the SC State House in downtown Columbia, South Carolina, and back to Finlay Park for the SC “Pride” Rally.

With street preaching, signs/banners, literature, and one-on-one exchanges, Christians publicly witnessed to the Truth of God’s Word in the Bible, that Sodomy is Sin, and that only our Lord and Saviour, the Messiah, can bring Salvation and true Freedom.

One Christian man from a local Columbia church held a sign (the back of which is visible in the picture above) reading:

Sodomy is a Crime
1. Against the Laws of God
2. Against the Laws of Nature
3. Against the Laws of So. Carolina


Pro-Sodomite Columbia (SC) City Councilman Daniel Rickenmann being introduced on the stage in Finlay Park on Saturday, September 22, to substitute for “No Show” Pro-abort, Pro-Sodomite, Columbia (SC) Mayor Bob Coble, to officially welcome practitioners of Sodomy and Lesbianism and their enablers to the 2007 SC “Pride” Rally, on behalf of the City of Columbia.

As Pro-Sodomite Daniel Rickenmann began to speak “on behalf of the City of Columbia,” Rickenmann was publicly rebuked from in front of the stage by Steve Lefemine, director of Columbia Christians for Life; after which Lefemine was told to leave, and escorted out of Finlay Park, Saturday, September 22, 2007.

Columbia (SC) Mayor and City Council called on to Repent and Renounce Pro-Sodomite Endorsement; Steve Lefemine before Columbia City Council, Wednesday, September 19, 2007

http://lefemineforlife.blogspot.com/2007/09/columbia-sc-mayor-and-city-council.html

Contact Columbia City Councilman Daniel Rickenmann, and express your opposition to his promotion of immorality (e.g., Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26,27) and criminal behavior [ SC Code of Laws, Section 16-15-120, “Buggery” says, “Whoever shall commit the abominable crime of buggery, whether with mankind or with beast, shall, on conviction, be guilty of felony…” www.scstatehouse.net/code/t16c015.htm ], which is a threat to the people of Columbia’s safety, security, health and prosperity, because it invites the Judgment of God upon all of us and our land, especially because he is a leader in civil government. In the Judgment of God, Who Alone is the Supreme Judge, Sodomy is an abomination. Call on Daniel Rickenmann to Repent and to Renounce his public affirmation of Sodomy and Lesbianism this past Saturday.

Politics an issue at Gay Pride Festival

By JEFFREY DAY
jday@thestate.com

[emphasis added]

Nicole Roberts waves to spectators along the parade route on Gervais Street.

In most ways, the South Carolina Gay and Lesbian Pride festival Saturday looked and sounded much like the previous 15.

About 300 people participated in the noon parade and a festival and speeches that followed.

A group of women riding motorcycles led the parade, followed by decorated floats, including a float decorated for Clemson, with the riders wearing tiger tails, and one for USC, where a man sported an elaborate Gamecock headdress.

And on the corner above Finlay Park, where the parade started, was a group of eight protesters.

What was different this year is that the campaigns of two mainstream presidential candidates ­ Democratic U.S. Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ­ were represented at the event.

“This is the first time that’s happened,” said Ed Madden, a USC professor long involved with gay issues. “They approached us about being here.”

A steady flow of people stopped at the Clinton and Obama tables.

“He’s been pretty outspoken in his support of civil unions,” said Danielle Howard, a volunteer at the Obama booth.

Another volunteer, Molly Emerson, arrived laden with about 20 Obama placards and sticks to nail them to. “There’s a huge community being overlooked, and he recognizes that,” Emerson said.

The people at the Clinton booth referred questions to the campaign’s South Carolina communications director. Reached later in the day, the director, Zac Wright, said Clinton has “clearly said that human rights are equal rights for everyone.”

No Republican candidates had a presence at the event, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t Republican supporters among those at the festival.

Truman Smith is a member of the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay group that wants a strong defense and conservative fiscal policy. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani could be a good candidate, he said.

But “the organization hasn’t taken a stand on the candidates yet,” Smith said.

Bennie Colcough, a minister who spoke at the rally, said the candidates will have to address gay and lesbian voters and their concerns.

“And we’re beginning to organize so it will be an issue,” he said.

Director, Columbia Christians for Life

SUBJECT: Call for Mayor Bob Coble and Columbia City Council to Repent and Renounce their Endorsement of Sodomy; as per Letter from Bob Coble in “South Carolina PRIDE GUIDE, 2007, Columbia, SC,” p. 4

1. Mr. Robert Coble has once again used his position as Mayor, on behalf of the City of Columbia and the Columbia City Council, to “welcome” the practitioners of Sodomy and their supporters to parade in Columbia’s streets, as scheduled for this Saturday, September 22. This year’s letter appears in the “South Carolina PRIDE GUIDE 2007, Columbia, SC,” on page 4, entitled, “a letter from the mayor of columbia,” and begins by saying, “Greetings ! On behalf of the City of Columbia and my fellow City Council members, I am pleased to welcome you to the South Carolina Gay and Lesbian Pride Movement’s Pride Parade and March.” The letter is signed, “Robert D. Coble, Mayor.”

2. This constitutes a public and official welcome to the practitioners of Sodomy and their supporters by the Mayor of Columbia and City Council, on behalf of the City of Columbia.

3. Mayor Coble’s letter addresses the issue of Sodomite civil rights. There is no civil right to commit acts of Sodomy. Sodomy is a CRIME, Against the Laws of God, Against the Laws of Nature, and Against the Laws of South Carolina. Leviticus 18:22 says, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” The design of the human body by the Creator makes it clear that man-on-man anal intercourse is Unnatural, as Romans 1:26,27 also addresses. And finally, the SC Code of Laws, Section 16-15-120, “Buggery” says, “Whoever shall commit the abominable crime of buggery, whether with mankind or with beast, shall, on conviction, be guilty of felony…”
www.scstatehouse.net/code/t16c015.htm Acts of Sodomy are Sinful, Unnatural, Immoral, and Criminal.

4. The practice of Sodomy by a people is a threat to that people’s safety, security, health and prosperity because in the Judgment of God, Who Alone is the Supreme Judge, Sodomy is an abomination. Mayor Coble’s endorsement of Sodomites is a threat to our City, State, and National Security because it invites the Judgment of God upon all of us and our land, especially because he and City Council are leaders in civil government.

5. I call on Mayor Coble and City Council to Repent and to Renounce Bob Coble’s Letter in the 2007 SC “Pride” program.

Jesus Christ (Yeshua Messiah) is Lord,

Steve Lefemine

Soulwinners Ministries, a Michigan-based Christian group, protests SC Pride Week in front of Thomas Cooper Library on Monday. The group plans to continue their protests throughout the week.

Protest causes campus chaos

Religious ministry draws large crowd, anger

by Brad Maxwell
Staff Writer
Issue date: 9/18/07 Section: News

Religious protestors targeting homosexuals, fornicators and sinners drew much attention when they gathered in front of the Thomas Cooper Library Monday afternoon.

Three men preaching and carrying signs reading “homo sex is sin,” “homo sex is a threat to national security” and other phrases drew strong reactions from USC students who gathered to listen and contest.

“It’s ridiculous,” said Corey Craig, a third-year Spanish student who combated the protest by handing out SC Gay Pride cards and talking against the protestors.

“I’m used to it, but this is totally against the Carolinian Creed,” Craig said.

Craig, who is Jewish, was also upset that the protests occurred during his Holy Week.

A man who went only by the name J.K. lead the protest, reading quotes from the Bible and proclaiming that homosexuals and other sinners will go to hell.

Michael Venyah, founder of Soulwinners Ministries International, the Michigan-based group organizing the demonstration, said the protesters plan to be on campus from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day this week.

Steve Lefemine, one of the protesters carrying a sign, is a pro-life missionary working with Soulwinners.

“We are an evangelistic ministry. Lord willing, we will be here throughout this week,” Lefemine said.

Kaye Torgersen, a fourth-year history student, said she heard the protestors from the library she got there, around 12:30 p.m.

“It’s surprising how many students are interacting. It’s a mockery really,” Torgersen said.

Two USCPD officers on the scene would not comment.

Columbia, SC Mayor Bob Coble 2007 "SC Pride" Sodomite Parade Letter

Mayor Coble officially welcomes Sodomite Parade to City of Columbia, SC in Letter of Support on behalf of the Mayor and the Columbia City Council:

www.scpride.org/news.htm

Bible-believing Christians:

Please come to the Columbia City Council meeting on Wednesday, September 19, to sign up on the public speaking list to register your opposition to the Mayor of Columbia, Bob Coble’s endorsement of sin, and criminal behavior (SC Code of Laws 16-15-120, “Buggery” / Sodomy); and thereby undermining the morals, safety, security, and health of the greater Columbia area, and the State of South Carolina.

Title 16 – Crimes and Offenses
Chapter 15.
Offenses Against Morality and Decency
www.scstatehouse.net/code/t16c015.htm

SECTION 16-15-120. Buggery.
[emphasis added]

Whoever shall commit the abominable crime of buggery, whether with mankind or with beast, shall, on conviction, be guilty of felony and shall be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for five years or shall pay a fine of not less than five hundred dollars, or both, at the discretion of the court.

The founding fathers of America knew that only a moral and virtuous people were capable of liberty, and worthy of economic and political prosperity.

Sodomy is a Crime:

Against the Laws of God
Against the Laws of Nature
Against the Laws of South Carolina

Leviticus 18:22 – “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

Romans 1:26,27 – “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”

Bob Coble’s endorsement of those who commit the abominable crime, and immoral acts, of buggery/sodomy, is a threat to the security, safety, health, and prosperity of Columbia and the State of South Carolina.

Genesis 19:24,25 – “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.”

The Columbia City Council Meeting is held in City Hall, 1737 Main St.,on the Third Floor (located at the corner of Laurel St. and Main St.).

The meeting on September 19 begins at 9 AM, and the sign-up sheet for the public to speak (for two minutes) is available at that time. There is a zoning Public Hearing scheduled at 10 AM. The opportunity for the public to speak is at the very end of the meeting (estimate 11 AM ?), and the sign-up sheet is available for additional names until right before that portion of the meeting, i.e., at the very end.

Phone City Hall Public Relations Department 545-3020 for more information.

Will you help publicize this ? Would you consider going before Columbia City Council to speak against the promotion of sodomy by Columbia’s Mayor Bob Coble by signing upon the sign-up sheet at the back of the City Council meeting room on the Third Floor of City Hall at the beginning of the City Council meeting, and speak during the public input session at the end of the NEXT Columbia City Council meeting on Wednesday, September 19 ? http://www.columbiasc.net/

[This matter was addressed before the Columbia City Council by two Presbyterian ministers and a Christian pro-life missionary a few years ago when Mayor Bob Coble had previously written a letter welcoming the sodomites to parade in Columbia. Apparently Bob Coble is determined to continue his official, public, sodomy-affirming ways as the Mayor of the City of Columbia, South Carolina.]

Mayor Bob Coble will be welcoming the sodomites on the stage in Findlay Park during the 1 PM Rally.
www.scpride.org/news.htm

Welcome
THE HONORABLE MAYOR ROBERT COBLE

Mayor Bob Coble is one of the city’s longest serving and most popular mayors, in office since 1990. Under his leadership, Columbia was the first city in the state of South Carolina to include sexual orientation in the city’s non-discrimination policy for municipal employees. In 2006, when Charlotte NC Mayor Patrick McCrory re­fused to offer a welcome at the annual Human Rights Campaign Carolinas Dinner in Charlotte, Mayor Bob showed up to offer a welcome instead. For a second year, Mayor Bob will offer a welcome from the SC Pride Festival stage.

Notice on the http://www.scpride.org/ website the sponsorship by Food Lion. The offensive, indecent,and suggestive picture of partially naked young men on the front page of the website is a disgrace, and Mayor Bob Coble supports this perverted, immoral behavior openly, publicly, and with the official endorsement of his Mayoral office and the rest of the Columbia City Council.

The true Christian churches and ministers, pastors, elders, and deacons in Columbia should be speaking up to protect the sheep of their respective flocks from the wolves of Sodomite Pride and from dangerous city officials such as Mayor Bob Coble, who are a threat to the safety, security, morality, and health of Columbia and the State of South Carolina by their advocacy of wickedness and sinful, immoral, and criminal behavior.

CCL’s exposure of pro-abort Fred Thompson reported in Greenville News editorial blog

Thompson bringing his campaign to important first-in-the-South GOP Primary state of South Carolina: The first three weeks of Thompson’s campaign through the end of September 2007 could be critical in determining whether his campaign gets traction with SC conservatives/Christians, and whether he marches on to the GOP nomination for Nov 2008, or, whether (hopefully), Thompson’s campaign fizzles like fellow CFR-member, pro-abort, pro-embryonic-stem-cell-research-funding, pro-amnesty for illegals, anti-free-campaign-speech John McCain’s camnpaign has nationally, though McCain is mounting an upcoming multi-SC-city “No Surrender” Tour, so he is still actively campaigning in SC.

Fred Thompson, savior of the GOP and conservatism ?

http://news.greenvilleonline.com/blogs/hyde/2007/09/fred_thompson_savior_of_the_go.html

The Greenville News

September 10, 2007
[excerpts]

Fred Thompson blew into South Carolina and Greenville today on a wave of public adulation and media hype.

Thompson, the former senator and TV star, seems to motivate some Republican supporters in the same way Barack Obama has fired up Democratic activists.

A lot of it has to do with star charisma.

Supporters have made Thompson out to be the salvation of the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

Dean Rice, who’s running Thompson’s S.C. campaign, said he’ll certainly live up to his conservative credentials.

He’s the only REAL conservative among the GOP presidential hopefuls – at least that’s what his supporters say, according to an AP story.”

“Those expectations certainly are going to be met as far as being a rock-solid conservative,” Rice was quoted by the AP.

But is Thompson really conservative?

His voting record is a little more ambiguous that [sic] conservatives may want to admit.

On abortion, for instance, Thompson has consistently supported restrictions.

But Thompson has been dogged by questions about abortion. Critics point out that in 1994, when he first ran for the Senate, Thompson cheked a box on a quetsionnaire saying he believed abortion should be legal in the first three months of pregnancy.

The very conservative S.C. group Columbia Christians for Life has been running an aggressive anti-Thompson e-mail campaign, stating unequivocally that Thompson is “pro-abortion.”

That group is criticizing Thompson for saying that the states should be able to have some “leeway” (Thompson’s word) on abortion and that, in some cases, he personally wouldn’t vote to criminalize abortion in his home state of Tennessee.”

[continued]

On campaign finance reform, Thompson was a sponsor of the same bill supported by Sen. John McCain and strongly opposed by conservatives.

God’s 9-11 Message to America – Repent !

“Repent, America
Repent, America
Messiah is the Standard
Repent, and turn to Him.
Repent of our child-murder
Repent of our sodomy
Repent of our false religion and idolatry
Repent of all our national sins,
and turn to Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ).”

The Bible says,
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” Acts 3:19

Now six years after September 11, 2001, God’s 9-11 Message to America, a nation that MURDERS 3,000-plus of its own children DAILY (same number of innocent Americans killed on 9-11 by evil men on that one day, about 3,000); a nation that tolerates and embraces SODOMY; a nation of FORNICATION; a nation of lying, greedy, worldly, corrupt leaders in civil government (Republican and Democrat); a nation of many FALSE RELIGIONS, including Islam, Judaism, Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, Secular Humanism, Wicca /Witchcraft, Buddhism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witness, Seventh Day Adventist – all embraced by the political establishment, even allowing Muslim, Jewish, Romanist, Hindu, and Seventh Day Adventist prayers to open up Sessions of one or both chambers of the United States Congress, worshipping false gods in violation of the First Commandment (Exodus 20:2,3); and a nation with a weak, worldly, feminized Christian Church; is the SAME message: R-E-P-E-N-T !!!

Time is running out for America. The Lord sent Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians against Judah and Jerusalem in 605 BC, then again eight years later, in 597 BC, and the final attack and destruction and burning of Jersualem and the Jewish Temple, total national devastation, occurred 11 years after that, in 586 BC. (2 Kings, chapters 24, 25).

Was September 11, 2001 America’s “first wave” attack (i.e., analogous to Judah’s 605 BC attack)? How many more “waves” of national attack before America as we know it today, is destroyed as an act of Divine Judgment ? Whether sooner or later, it is inevitable, if we, especially the true Church of Yeshua Messiah, do not repent of our many sins and idolatries; sins of commission, and sins of omission !!! (2 Chronicles 7:14, Matthew 5:13-16, Matthew 25:40, 45)

George Mason (co-Father of the Bill of Rights with Patrick Henry), a delegate from Virginia, a slave-state, said in the 1787 Constitutional Convention, “Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities.”

And so it is today. Abortion is a national sin. 9-11 was a national calamity. Greater divine judgment is coming upon America, unless we repent of this great sin of murdering our own children in the wombs of their mothers.

Christian men especially, and especially leaders (pastors, elders, deacons) – why not lead by example in bringing a Christian witness of ‘Prayer’ and ‘Presence’ to the gates-of-hell at America’s domestic terror child-murder-by-abortion centers ? Go to the gates, men ! They will not prevail against Messiah’s church !

“… I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18

Repent America ! (Psalm 9:17, Proverb 14:34, Psalm 33:12)
Repent Church ! (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Now six years after September 11, 2001, God’s 9-11 Message to America, a nation that MURDERS 3,000-plus of its own children DAILY (same number of innocent Americans killed on 9-11 by evil men on that one day, about 3,000); a nation that tolerates and embraces SODOMY; a nation of FORNICATION; a nation of lying, greedy, worldly, corrupt leaders in civil government (Republican and Democrat); a nation of many FALSE RELIGIONS, including Islam, Judaism, Roman Catholicism, Hinduism, Secular Humanism, Wicca /Witchcraft, Buddhism, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witness, Seventh Day Adventist – all embraced by the political establishment, even allowing Muslim, Jewish, Romanist, Hindu, and Seventh Day Adventist prayers to open up Sessions of one or both chambers of the United States Congress, worshipping false gods in violation of the First Commandment (Exodus 20:2,3); and a nation with a weak, worldly, feminized Christian Church; is the SAME message: R-E-P-E-N-T !!!

Time is running out for America. The Lord sent Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians against Judah and Jerusalem in 605 BC, then again eight years later, in 597 BC, and the final attack and destruction and burning of Jersualem and the Jewish Temple, total national devastation, occurred 11 years after that, in 586 BC. (2 Kings, chapters 24, 25).

Was September 11, 2001 America’s “first wave” attack (i.e., analogous to Judah’s 605 BC attack)? How many more “waves” of national attack before America as we know it today, is destroyed as an act of Divine Judgment ? Whether sooner or later, it is inevitable, if we, especially the true Church of Yeshua Messiah, do not repent of our many sins and idolatries; sins of commission, and sins of omission !!! (2 Chronicles 7:14, Matthew 5:13-16, Matthew 25:40, 45)

George Mason (co-Father of the Bill of Rights with Patrick Henry), a delegate from Virginia, a slave-state, said in the 1787 Constitutional Convention, “Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities.”

And so it is today. Abortion is a national sin. 9-11 was a national calamity. Greater divine judgment is coming upon America, unless we repent of this great sin of murdering our own children in the wombs of their mothers.

Christian men especially, and especially leaders (pastors, elders, deacons) – why not lead by example in bringing a Christian witness of ‘Prayer’ and ‘Presence’ to the gates-of-hell at America’s domestic terror child-murder-by-abortion centers ? Go to the gates, men ! They will not prevail against Messiah’s church !

“… I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18

Repent America ! (Psalm 9:17, Proverb 14:34, Psalm 33:12)
Repent Church ! (2 Chronicles 7:14)

September 11, 2001 – The Steel Girder Cross of the Twin Towers

The Steel Girder Cross of the Twin Towers
Posted September 20, 2002 By Rev. Flip Benham


Yes, this cross, more than anything else, symbolizes both God’s call and His love for America. He is calling us to repent (turn back) to Him. The one thing that survived the mass of carnage and steel when the towers collapsed was this magnificent, albeit twisted, steel girder cross. It was a sign that when everything falls apart, and the foundations are shaken, we can be sure that God is still on the throne. Because He loves us, wounds us to bring us back to Himself.

The Steel Girder Cross of the Twin Towers

Flip Benham, national director
September 20, 2002

Our good friend Steve Lefemine went to New York City to be a witness for Jesus and His pre-born children, during the 9-11 memorial. He arrived three days before the memorial was to begin and passed out our press release: God’s Message to America – Repent! When he approached “ground zero,” he was amazed to find that the single most prominent feature of the entire sixteen-acre plot was a large steel girder cross. It was once a part of the infrastructure of the towers and was now set on a hill high above the depth of the six-story pit that was once the foundation of the World Trade Center.

The cross was discovered by firefighters in the rubble of the Twin Towers. During the clean up, it had become a refuge for the workers, and a safe place for a city deeply traumatized by such an incomprehensible tragedy. It had become a place where men could go to find peace in the midst of the senseless maelstrom that surrounded them.

This naked steel girder cross became for many, a shelter in the midst of a storm. Men prayed there. They looked for answers to the uncertainties and tragedies of life. They took account of their own lives. They looked to the One who hung on a cross so many years ago, and found refuge in the steadfast arms of Jesus. He was the One who made sense out of an Old Rugged Cross. Perhaps He could make sense out of this one.

Yes, this cross, more than anything else, symbolizes both God’s call and His love for America. He is calling us to repent (turn back) to Him. The one thing that survived the mass of carnage and steel when the towers collapsed was this magnificent, albeit twisted, steel girder cross. It was a sign that when everything falls apart, and the foundations are shaken, we can be sure that God is still on the throne. Because He loves us, He wounds us to bring us back to Himself.

For the wayward children of Judah, who had pushed Him out of their busy lives, God brought cataclysmic judgments because He loved them. “This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says: ‘In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it…Therefore you will flee…till you are left like a flagstaff on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.” Isaiah 30:15-18. We too have pushed God out of our busy lives and have been left with only this banner on a hill at “Ground Zero” – this steel girder cross.

We have been left, completely exposed, with all supply and support gone! Why? So that we will cry to Him, and to Him alone! “…How gracious He will be when you cry for help! As soon as He hears, He will answer you. Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction,…your earswill hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.'” Isaiah 30:19-21. God is calling us to Himself, through the cross, to hear His voice again.

If we hearken unto His voice and return to Him, He makes this breathtaking promise: “In the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall, streams of water will flow on every high mountain and every lofty hill…when the Lord binds up the bruises of His people and heals the wounds He inflicted.” Isaiah 30:25-26.

The message of the twisted steel girder cross that is set on a hill above all that was once the World Trade Center, is that America must return to God. Not God as we perceive Him. But to Jesus Christ, the One who died on an old rugged cross, was raised from the dead, and now lives forever more. He is the One true God!

Now, did you ever see that cross during the national media coverage of 9-11? No, not once! There was not a newspaper or a newscast in all of the country that prominently displayed it even for a nano-second. Why not?

9 – 11 – WILL WE CONNECT THE DOTS?
“A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy,”
Proverbs 29:1.

September 4, 2002
By Rev. Flip Benham

How shall we remember and memorialize 9-11? This has been the burning question media types have been bandying about for months. Will they ever get it right? They missed it the first time, so how can we expect them to get it right now? Oh, they will come up with some moving documentaries, pictures, videos, and testimonies coupled with soft music that will make us all cry. Not a hard thing to do considering the magnitude of this national tragedy. Read More>>

9 – 11 – WILL WE CONNECT THE DOTS?

September 4, 2002

9 – 11 – WILL WE CONNECT THE DOTS?

“A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed-without remedy.” ~ Proverbs 29:1.

On April 14, 1912, the Titanic was given at least seven different warnings that large ice-burgs filled the North Atlantic Ocean through which she was traveling. Believing however that she was unsinkable, and desiring to make record time across the Atlantic, Captain Smith increased her speed. The warnings went unheeded.

In 1938, Neville Chamberlain proclaimed, “Peace in our time,” as he surrendered Czechoslovakia to appease the Nazi regime. Winston Churchill warned time and again that Hitler would not be appeased, but must be destroyed. His warnings went unheeded and the world was plunged into war. America has been warned in horrific ways that if she continues on her path, she too will be destroyed without remedy.

Will we heed the warnings?

9-11 was a strong warning (rebuke) from God to America. Unfortunately, how we remember and memorialize this tragedy will be left in the hands of the media. Will they ever get it right? They missed it the first time. Can we expect them to get it right now? Oh, they will come up with some moving documentaries, interviews, and pictures of that day coupled with soft music that will make us all cry. Not a hard thing to do considering the magnitude of this national catastrophe.

They will cover the ceremonies, songs, flag-waving speeches, and prayers that will turn our hearts back to an America of not so long ago. I’m sure we’ll sing one more agonizing stanza of “God Bless America.” Please! The stories of heroism will abound, and rightly so, for ordinary Americans did so many extraordinary things.

Of one thing we can be certain – the first anniversary of 9-11 will be left on a positive note. This is the ubiquitous “must” that will pervade every newscast, talk-show, speech, and prayer. We will not see again the body parts that filled the streets underneath the World Trade Center. We will not see the people waving sheets and flags from the windows and jumping from the buildings. No more human carnage. What we will see is a sanitized version of 9-11, with none of the graphic horror that filled the airwaves that day.

Why? So that we can, as quickly as possible, escape the traumatizing and graphic message God is sending and get back to normal as soon as possible. In so doing, however, we are ignoring the warning.

I am not just talking about the liberal media coverage (CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, etc.) with its blind, self-serving bias and visceral animus toward God. I am talking about the media as a whole, including conservative and Christian media coverage (FOX News, CBN, TBN, conservative talk radio, Christiantalk radio, etc.). The utter failure to see, comprehend, and portray the obvious truth of what has happened to our nation is startling!

God Himself is judging our nation! Make no mistake about it! Let those who have eyes to see, see and those who have ears to hear, hear. The last thing we need is another “feel good” remembrance. America has been weighed in the scales and found wanting. We have expelled God from school, banished Him from the schoolyard, ripped His Ten Commandments from the walls, removed Him from the workplace, and told Him that He has no place in our government – separation of church and state, you know. And yet, we have the colossal gall to ask Him to bless America.” Do we think He has lost His mind?

We have made it abundantly clear that, at this point in our national history, we don’t need Him. He, however, is making it abundantly clear that we do!

Blood is coursing down the corridors of our schools, workplaces, and streets. We have sown bloodshedin the womb and we are reaping its horrible harvest in our streets. Over 45 million children have been killed by abortion in this nation and their blood is crying out to God for an accounting. The accounting has come. God has not been silent! Unfortunately, we have been very slow to hear His voice. “…Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.” Ezekiel 35:6b.

Yes, bloodshed will pursue us when we shed blood in the womb. Let’s connect the dots between the slaughter of over 45 million children and the incredible wave of violence that is sweeping across the landscape of America. God is graphically illustrating the fact that if a nation sows bloodshed in the womb, it will reap bloodshed in the streets.

Kids are killing kids in our nation’s schools without a whimper of conscience. When we teach our kids how to kill a child to solve the problem of an “unwanted pregnancy,” we should not be surprised when they apply that solution to other problems. If your girlfriend dumps you, or friends treat you badly, or you find yourself in a school where nobody likes you – kill them! Bloodshed is pursuing America.

We have so devalued life in the womb that murder has become the solution for almost every problem we face. Earth becoming overpopulated? Kill the children. Getting too old to live a quality life? Kill the old. Left a witness at the scene of the crime? Kill the witness. Don’t like your fellow worker? Kill him. Got a child with Down Syndrome? Kill the child. Bloodshed is pursuing America.

This bloodshed and violence is the inevitable result of casting God behind our backs. It is the epitome of godlessness and selfishness. “It’s all about me! I kill others to make it better for me.” We, in America, have declared that there is no God, no standard, and no absolute truth apart from us. We have become a law unto ourselves. We have removed God from our society and are suffering the horrible consequencesof our foolish arrogance. Bloodshed is pursuing America and we are powerless to stop it. Bloodshed is pursuing America and we are powerless to stop it.

This violence is the enemy destroying us from within, now we turn to an enemy bent on destroying us from without – Islam! Let’s connect the dots between the slaughter of over 45 million children in the womb and the fact that 19 men with box cutters brought this nation to its knees. Who could have imagined before 9-11 that 19 guys could have done such damage to our nation and our national psyche? It would have been considered unbelievable. It still is!

But God has not been silent about the slaughter of His unborn children. “”I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.”” Leviticus 26:17. Islam is that enemy God has allowed to be raised up to bring His rebuke to America. Bloodshed is pursuing us.

On 9-8-01, nineteen Christians were arrested on the sidewalk in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. They were there to appeal to President Bush for the lives of children frozen in petri dishes in medical labs throughout this nation. During the summer of 2001, the President had signed into law, governmental support and financing for “Embryonic Stem Cell Research.” Though he limited its scope and the number of stem cell lines to be used, he opened the door for research on the most defenseless, voiceless child of all – the child in the dish! God was not silent about this sin!

He brought His warning through the 19 gentle Christians who knelt on the sidewalk of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They prayed that God would bring repentance into the heart of our President. For the first time in our nation’s history, a “Christian” President legitimized the devil’s argument that human life is relative and not sacred. Mr. Clinton may have railed against the standard of the sanctity of life, but it was President Bush who legitimized the relative nature of human life: “You can experiment on these children, but you can’t experiment on those.” This was the last straw!

Before they were arrested, a District of Columbia policeman addressed the group and said, “This is your third and final warning.” Upon hearing the “third and final warning,” one of them, Bible in hand, stood and proclaimed, “No, America, this is your third and final warning!” He then read from Deuteronomy 32:25: “In the street the sword will make them childless; in their homes terror will reign. Young men and young women will perish, infants and gray-haired men.”

For three days this prophetic witness was proclaimed from the noisy streets of our nation’s capital during the week preceding 9-11. Warning after prophetic warning was issued at various governmental gates by men of God. They were calling for congressmen, cabinet members, our President, and anyone who would listen to repent of the killing of children in the womb and in the dish, and turn to God. Many times the words were proclaimed, “We’ve sown bloodshed in the womb and we shall soon reap bloodshed in the streets. America, turn to Jesus!” The warning went unheeded.

The tragic fulfillment of this prophetic witness came three days later on 9-11. Airplanes filled with precious human lives crashed into buildings, also filled with precious human lives, because 19 men serving a false god did not value those lives. Islam believes that human life is valuable only inasmuch as it submits to Allah and his prophet Mohammed. Yes, according to Islam, the value of human life is relative. If it is not in submission to Allah, it can and should be killed. Sound familiar? We are reaping the horrible consequences of what we have sown. Bloodshed is pursuing America.

God has not been silent! But we have not listened to His voice and the media has done its best to cover it up. It is only because He loves us that we have not been totally annihilated. “Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you toward repentance?” Romans 2:4. He is calling us to return to Him – not to return to the days before 9-11. He is calling us to REPENT!

God’s message to America – REPENT! Not remember, not reflect, but REPENT!

God spoke through His prophet Isaiah to the nation of Israel, “…In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” Isaiah 30:15.

Like America today, Israel did not believe that she was the one who needed to repent. She tried to fix her problems by building alliances and buying her way out of the consequences God had brought upon her. Of course these consequences had come because she had turned her back Him. He had more disaster, however, than her little government had relief. Israel was destroyed as a nation because she refused to heed His warnings and repent. God Himself had become her enemy (Isaiah 63:10).

History is a good teacher. We would do well to heed its lessons. It is an absurdity to ask God to bless America, when we have killed over 45 million of His children and are bent on killing even more. He is calling us to repent of this heinous slaughter.

There is no alliance that will rescue us from the enemies His wrath will bring. There is no amount of money that will buy His favor. There is no new technology that will remedy the calamities of His anger. There is only repentance!

The media cannot and will not connect the dots of God’s message to America on 9-11. It has neither eyes to see, nor ears to hear. It is up to us then, who do have eyes to see and ears to hear, to connect the dots. Let the connecting begin!

“…if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” ~ 2 Chronicles 7:14.
