The Bottom Line, Ministries Christian News, Articles, & Poetry 
Friends, some of my least favorite things to write about are political issues, but over the past week, things have rapidly changed in the United States, and it’s looking like they’re only going to get worse if we don’t refocus on what is happening and take a stand. At this time, I would like to look at four headlines and the impact they are having on our country.
Man is Marrying Beast
On Tuesday, Mexican Mayor Joel Vazquez Rojas, “married” Marie Isabel. Congratulations to the happy couple, right? Wrong! You see, Marie Isabel is a an alligator who is thought to be a princess, and this was his motivation for marrying the reptile. Supposedly, the couple exchanged vows, despite Marie Isabel’s mouth being duct taped shut. She was even dressed in a bridal gown. The people of San Pedro Huamelula believe that all this is good luck and will improve their fishing.
This isn’t the first time man (or woman) has married an animal. In fact, it has happened numerous times in the recent past. In 2014, Amanda Rodgers of Great Britain married her dog “Sheba” in Croatia and Mangli Munda of India married a stray dog named Sheru to try to ward off a family curse. Earlier animal marriages include a cow, a dolphin, a snake, a goat, a horse, and some cats.
Prov 12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
Mississippi Court Clerk Resigns
Linda Barnette, a Circuit Court Clerk of Mississippi for 24 years, resigned her position rather than issue marriage licenses to gay couples. Let’s look at what she had to say:
The Supreme Court’s decision violates my core values as a Christian. My final authority is the Bible. I cannot in all good conscience issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples under my name because the Bible clearly teaches that homosexuality is contrary to God’s plan and purpose for marriage and family…I choose to obey God rather than man.
It is a sad day in America when a dedicated Christian woman is put into a position to resign her job of 24 years in order to honor her faith in God and His purpose for mankind.
Gay Rights Activists Attacking Military Chaplains
It’s really happening folks, the gay community is trying to purge faith from our military and their efforts have stepped up since the Supreme Court’s decision to try to force us to accept gay marriage. Our Chaplains, which happen to be U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines, are being told “their service isn’t welcome”, and that they need to “get out.”
So who is leading the attack. It may surprise you. Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Say what? A foundation for religious freedom is attacking the religious freedom of Chaplains in the military. The website tagline even has the following quote from Weinstein:
When one dons a U.S. Military uniform, there is only one religious symbol: the American Flag. There is only one religious scripture: the American Constitution. Finally, there is only one religious faith: American patriotism.
I am a United States Army Veteran and I take offense to his demeaning remarks against my military brothers and sisters who willingly put their lives on the line for our country to protect it against all enemies foreign and domestic.
Weinstein, who is a self pro-claimed atheist, has also said the following about our military brothers and sisters by accusing them of being…
…gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates…
And recently went on to proclaim:
The only honorable thing that these losers can do is to fold up their uniforms, turn in their papers, and get the hell out of the American military chaplaincy.
Folks, it’s happening! Atheist groups are trying to use “gay marriage” to establish a state religion of atheism. You have been warned.
Please listen to Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin’s discussion on the ramifications of supporting Weinstein’s movement against our military.
The Ten Commandments Under Attack in Oklahoma
In some more disturbing news, Oklahoma’s Supreme Court ruled that the statue of the Ten Commandments on the capitol grounds of Oklahoma is to be removed. Immediately following the decision, Oklahoma Attorney General, declared that they “got it wrong.” and has issued a petition that will delay any removal of the statue. In addition, Republican legislators are fighting back and calling for the impeachment of the justices who called for the removal of the Ten Commandments. Furthermore, they accused the justices of “judicial bullying” and declared that “it’s time the people choose jurists.”
In response to this, Satanic Temple spokesmen, Lucien Greaves expressed that they would no longer press the Oklahoma Supreme Court to place their Satan statue on capitol grounds, but would be pursuing the placing the statue and copies of it around the United States to counterbalance the Ten Commandments. The statue features Satan in the form of Baphomet, the sabbatical goat, with two “adoring children” at his side. Greaves also expressed that the statue has also been designed as a seat so ” people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation.” One place they are planning to target is the Arkansas Capitol, and they have already made plans to unveil their statue in Detroit on July 25, 2015.
Final Thought
Friends, it’s happening and it’s happening quickly. Opponents of Christianity are working quickly to purge our rights, and even us, from the United States of America. The very land that was established on Judeo-Christian beliefs, and who did their best to form a U.S. Constitution that would protect us from such tyranny. There is a time to act, and that time is NOW! Thank you for reading and God bless.
How can you contribute to stopping the tyranny happening in Our United States of America?

I honestly can’t decide which of these headline are worst. You’re right things are happening fast – faster than anyone could have imagined.
I think the efforts to eliminate Christians from our military is perhaps the biggest threat. It sounds like a well orchestrated plan to purge anyone who may have a sense of honor and integrity, anyone that may choose to defy an oppressive government.
America needs to open our eyes to the enemies within our borders – within… even INVITING their commentary regarding the operation of our national defense.
This Weinstein character is beyond offensive, nothing more than a foul-mouthed middle-aged punk in a suit, spewing Christian bigotry and hatred….. And Jesus died for him too.
It would be easy to return his contemptuous feelings, yet we must pray for his deliverance. We must pray for our own as well – deliverance from the temptation from the feelings his hatred provokes.
What we are seeing are the results of years of ignoring God and putting ourselves first instead of God, forsaking church for activity, or work, or a day for sleeping in, of ANYTHING other than what it is – a day to honor God..
People may want to dust off their Left Behind collections, recognize the similarities…. and make sure they won’t be (left behind) when the time comes.
Though not surprising, there headlines do break my heart.
Christians need to be on their knees in prayer, begging his mercy on a nation that does not deserve it.
Seeing all this happening in the USA leaves a lump in my chest and bile in my throat, it is so sad how much the US has fallen since our founding fathers proclaimed “In the Name of the Most Holy and undivided Trinity.”at the beginning of the treaty of Paris that ended the Revolutionary War.
But be encouraged because it says in Luke 21:28 “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh”.
Praise God our time is at hand.
When you think of the damage done by the educational system in this country over the years, it’s no wonder people do not believe that there is a God whom they will have to answer to eventually.
They perhaps see our faith as fictional yet they should respect our right to believe even if they think it is foolish. Better to have someone to believe in what offers a real hope than having a non-hopeful existence.
It seems to me that we are seeing socialism trying to take over. Kind of gives you an understanding of what it was like with the rise of nazism and Hitler’s agenda. Never imagined that the USA would adopt such a way of life after witnessing the horrors that resulted from such a regime, and many of our own soldiers died trying to deliver the masses out of such a nightmare.
Hard to believe the ignorance that is happening which is helping to fuel these awful choices that officials are attempting to put in place. It is like dumbing down the people of this country so they don’t get wise to the tactics of those who are trying to take over and change our country into what it was never intended to be. I have to say that when I typed the word ‘CHANGE’ in the previous sentence, I thought of Obama’s pledge when running for president that this was the word he campaigned on without explaining what he meant by this expression which made me personally suspicious from the get go about him.
When you figure that people are coming here from many countries and they have little knowledge of our history along with a government handing out freebies to get votes and the conflict of even showing voter ID, it is a recipe for disaster.
