It’s a sin in my estimation that the overwhelming majority of people couldn’t care less about history. Events occurring presently mirror and duplicate history. Of the foolish thinking, “It can’t happen here, this is America!” or “It isn’t happening to me,” or “It hasn’t happened before, so it will never happen.”

Foolishness. Blindness. Lethargic. Apathy. Self-absorption and delusion.

Persecution doesn’t start with concentration camps and a ruthless, tyrannical dictator bursting onto the scene. It begins in the hearts and minds of individuals. A more pervasive and deadly illness than any other possible or known to man. Spiritual illness. Filling what is the most important aspect of being human, and the most neglected or abused part, the spiritual, either with nothingness, or a mess worse than they have in their garages, closets, drawers, and basements.

Persecution has come to America. Don’t be naive or deceived. It has been present for quite some time now. Testing the toxic waters. And it has determined, evil that is, what else — it’s time to ramp things up. Time to escalate the spiritual war. Because the American judicial system is utterly broken and infected with more radical, godless, anti-God, anti-Jesus, anti-Constitution, anti-ethics, anti-abiding by the rule of law activist judges than ever before in our history.

Forget the left vs. right foolish, wasting time argument. The Democrat vs. Republican utter nonsense getting in the way, wasting time. Wake up! Finally! And always, only go to the root cause. Go to the source. Do not hesitate, nor fear doing so.

And that root cause, the foundation of it all, is the intensifying spiritual battles raging in the spiritual war every person in America, every person on earth is involved in. Participants whether they think or beleive they are on active duty in this war in their inactivity and hiding in their foxholes deluding themselves if they deny it, hide from it, become so otherwise occupied, make continual noise never passing, never quiet, never truly thinking, seeing, or hearing it isn’t really going on.

The End is closer today than it was yesterday, last week, and certainly last year or a decade ago.

What are you waiting for? Armageddon? The real one, not the ones the annoying weather people who use the word in error, if a big snowstorm is showing up on one of their weather models? Some apocalyptic event heretofore unheard of? Someone you foolishly see as a savior, that is, a mere man or woman? Placing trust in a system of government?

Well, perhaps go back to the first sentence I wrote.

And then finally do something about it. And no excuses. We all have the time. It’s just a matter of what our priorities are.

And one day — most likely sooner rather than later — God is going to reveal if every individual has had priorities aligned with Him and His Son, the LORD Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiac, the Holy Spirit, and His inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, eternal, active and living Word, or aligned with the world serving Satan.

And contrary to all the noise, all the words, all the philosophies, talking heads, books, psychology, and lies, those are the only two paths taken by every person on earth. Ever. With eternal consequences. Your eternity isn’t determined by what political party you’re aligned with. What your nationality is, or your ethnicity. The level of your education. Are you physically attractive, how much stuff do you own, what your zipcode is. It’s all about, only about what you have done, what you are doing, really, with regard to the God of the whole Holy Bible and His Son, Jesus?

Perhaps do something today before that day arrives.

Just saying…because although I may know you, don’t you, have no idea who you are reading this as odd as it seems — I care about where the most important part of you, your spirit, spends its eternity, and there are only two possible locations for that.

Heaven or hell.

Both very real.

Oh, and the American judicial system is a mess of more magnitude than if every septic tank and sewer system in America were filled, backed up, broken, and stinking. Worse than that — because at this point the dysfunction and evil present in it can’t only be seen or heard, but the stench of it can be smelled throughout the land.

How’s your vision? Your hearing? Your sense of smell?

Christian Mission Sued for Hiring Christians – Yes, Really

June 06, 2025

By PNW Staff

Reprinted from Prophecy News Watch

In a courtroom tucked within the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a battle of epic proportions is unfolding–not with banners and protestors, but with legal arguments and spiritual consequences. At the center is Union Gospel Mission of Yakima, a Christian ministry that dares to live out the Gospel not only in word, but in practice–insisting that those who serve the homeless, the addicted, and the broken must also share in the same faith that compels such service.

But the State of Washington thinks otherwise.

State officials are attempting to force the ministry to hire employees who do not share, and may even reject, its core religious beliefs. The legal mechanism? The “Washington Law Against Discrimination”–a statute once tempered by religious exemptions, but now wielded like a secular sword against the conscience of the Church.

The implications are staggering. If Washington succeeds, it sets a precedent that could spread far beyond one mission in Yakima. It could upend the ability of faith-based ministries nationwide to remain… well, faith-based

What Is a Church to Do?

In a moment of remarkable clarity during the hearing, U.S. Circuit Judge Daniel Bress cut to the heart of the matter:

“What is a church supposed to do? If somebody applies and says, ‘I just strongly disagree with the church’s religious beliefs,’ would we say they have, nonetheless, a state law right, to be able to be considered irrespective of that?”

That question isn’t just theoretical–it’s prophetic. Because if the answer is “yes,” then every church, Christian school, homeless shelter, or missions organization may soon be compelled to ignore their convictions in order to satisfy the demands of a government increasingly hostile to biblical truth.

At stake is the right of a Christian ministry to be Christian–not just in creed, but in community. If a mission is founded on the transformative power of the Gospel, how can it operate with employees who deny that very power?

The State’s New Hostility to Faith

Let’s be clear: this didn’t come out of nowhere.

For years, Washington State law included exemptions for religious organizations in its anti-discrimination statutes. But now, officials have removed those protections. And in doing so, they’ve made their motives plain.

In fact, Deputy Solicitor Cynthia Alexander openly criticized the mission’s desire to hire people of shared belief as “wanting to discriminate”–failing to recognize that for faith communities, such standards are not about prejudice, but purpose. You cannot separate the heart of a ministry from the beliefs that animate it.

This isn’t just a legal maneuver. It’s part of a growing ideological campaign to bring Christian organizations under the control of the state–not overtly, but through quiet coercion. The message is clear: Change your beliefs or lose your ability to serve.

When Government Tries to Pastor the Church

The case is not just about who makes hiring decisions. It’s about who defines the mission. If the state can dictate who is “qualified” to minister, then it assumes the authority to decide what ministry is.

This violates the autonomy of the Church–a principle long upheld in American law and grounded in the First Amendment. As ADF attorney John Bursch rightly stated, “The First Amendment does not allow the government to force a religious organization to hire someone who rejects its faith.”

That’s not just a legal argument–it’s a theological one. For a church or ministry to embody the love of Christ, it must be free to live out the teachings of Christ. Anything less becomes hollow service, stripped of the very faith that gives it meaning.

And yet, in an era of moral relativism and bureaucratic overreach, it seems even the most basic expressions of Christian belief are being labeled as discriminatory–especially when those beliefs dare to challenge the prevailing cultural winds.

The Real Danger: A Chilling Effect

Even though there’s currently an injunction preventing Washington from enforcing its demands against Union Gospel Mission, the threat still looms. The state claims it won’t pursue the matter further–but the judges, wisely, weren’t buying it.

They understand what’s at stake: if the courts allow this kind of state encroachment to go unchallenged, every faith-based organization in the country will feel the pressure to preemptively conform. The chilling effect is real–and that’s the point.

This is not just about hiring. It’s about eroding the line between Caesar and the Church. It’s about conditioning Christian compassion on secular conformity.

If ministries cannot require their workers to uphold the moral and theological standards of the faith–such as abstaining from sexual immorality, including adultery, cohabitation, or homosexual conduct–then those ministries are being reshaped in the image of the state.

And that is a dangerous road.

The Church Must Not Bow

This moment is a clarion call to every believer: if we want Christian ministries to remain faithful, we must be prepared to defend their right to be different.

Christ called His followers to be “a city on a hill,” not a branch office of the Department of Diversity. The Union Gospel Mission is not discriminating–it is discerning. It is protecting the integrity of its witness in a world desperately in need of hope.

We must not let that witness be extinguished by legal fiat or cultural intimidation.

This is not just Union Gospel Mission’s fight–it is the Church’s fight. Because when one ministry’s right to hire faithful workers is threatened, every congregation, mission, and Christian institution is put on notice.

The Church must not bow.
