The following is from The Babylon Bee. If unfamiliar with The Babylon Bee it is a satirical collection of folks that through satire shine a light on the reality of our current world. Understand this is satire. Which carries with it always a strong, wide vein of truth and reality running through the text or video using sharp humor to expose dark truths.
I debated whether to include this on ACP but after careful thought decided it should be posted here because anyone in America paying even scant attention and moderately observant cannot help but see and hear that sexual immorality, sexual deviancy, sexual perversion have become the official state religion that has not only been accommodated and adopted by every branch and agency within government, but also almost every business, corporation, school, and even more and more churches.
I realize many folks are fed up. Tragically, it took 50 years of silence, obliviousness, cluelessness, and refusal to see, hear and believe what was taking shape. Now some pushback. Some. Too little too late my friends. Too little too late. Unless equipped and prepared to faithfully pray to God as never before in life for our nation to repent. Genuinely repent. And know what that means. It doesn’t mean taking to the streets with poorly constructed signs and protesting. Getting into loud and potentially volatile arguments with those opposed to God’s Word and God’s ways, God’s truth. It means equipping and preparing oneself in the Word, in our behaviour to have a heartfelt sound argument, discussion, well versed in the Word, and placing faith and trust in the Holy Spirit to provide help, and words to speak or write to others.
God is always present. Always in control. Far too many, and I address this to professed Christians have allowed themselves to adopt and adapt to false teachings, the unsound doctrines of those who have crept in and become a louder voice within the heart and mind than the Word of God. People are more concerned with fitting in, hiding, being liked and approved of, fearful, whatever the reason to abandon the faith, abandon the Word.
A lot of Peter’s around denying Christ more than three times. A lot of Peter’s around refusing to weep and repent as Peter did still denying Christ, still denying God, still denying and perverting the Word in order to appease, accommodate and approve of these sexual immoralities and perversions.
Along the way refusing to ever believe it could get to the point it now is.
Well, folks, it’s going to get a lot worse. A lot worse. As prophesized in the Holy Bible. Why? Not because people are controlled like puppets on strings, no, because people continue to rebel. Continue to turn from God, turn from Christ, turn from with most denying the existence of the Holy Spirit, turn from the inerrant infallible living and active Word of God instead of omitting or adding to the Word to please the world, to please Satan rather than live to please the Lord.
The only path, the only course to pursue is one of genuine repentance for our sin. Our sin of selfishness, refusing to see and hear the signs, refusing to be the salt of the earth, a light unto the world, truly equipped in the whole armour of God, disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Preferring to be part-time believers. Part-time Christians. Which cannot exist, cannot be real. As people live in delusion and create God in their image, create the Word of God in their image rather than humbling oneself, submitting, and living according to the Word of God. Not living to please the world or self. But to please the Lord.
And not much of what we’ve done over the past 50, 60 years in America, in Western nations has been done to please the Lord. Has it? Don’t want to hear that, don’t believe it? Well, friend, just look around at the woeful, tragic, sick condition of things here. And elsewhere.
We brought this judgment and events unfolding upon ourselves. No one else to blame. Don’t ever even think of blaming God. Or someone else. Such as a political party or ideology. Come to grips, come to terms with reality. Deal in the truth. What has transpired and continues has nothing whatsoever to do with political parties, ideologies, or a nationalistic viewpoint. It has everything to do with a failure to acknowledge God and Christ and to live lives according to the Word of God rather than believing one can show up in a church on a Sunday morning, attend one service, listen to the rock band, listen to a pastor, a preacher who doesn’t believe in the Scriptures and does not preach from them and then head home to do what one will every other moment.
Accommodating and approving of the ways and doctrines of the world.
Either by silence. Or out and out complicity.
Don’t like how things have gone? Where we now find ourselves? Then it’s time to emulate the faithful God-fearing examples within Scripture and repent, having our walk, our talk, our lives a living example of our love for God, our love for Jesus, our love for the Holy Spirit, our love of the Word and deep abiding faith in God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Bible revealed. To appear separate and peculiar to the world rather than appearing no different.
And when we determine that earthly political battles are more important, an election, a politician, is more important than the spiritual battles taking place and eternity we have the problems we now have as we find ourselves where we do.
The following is satire. But it would not exist were it not based in reality and truth.
Don’t like it? What to do?
Finally, make God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the inerrant infallible living and active Word of God uppermost, preeminent in life. See what happens then. Faithfully believing as pursuing God and His ways and Word rather than in such pursuit of everything else in this life.
We’re where we are due to our turning from God, turning from the Bible, always too busy for faithful prayer, for Bible reading, study, and meditating upon. Always filling lives with business, entertainment, and selfish pursuits. Pushing God aside. Deluded. Clueless. Fearful. Hiding.
Well, it’s time to truly repent is it not? If not now when?
Or are you prepared to leave it all up to someone else, which is the thinking and way of living that got us where we now find ourselves?

Official State Religion Enters High Holy Days

VIDEO following the satirical piece from The Babylon Bee
U.S. — The official state religion of the United States entered its High Holy Days today, with worshippers around the nation being called to rededicate themselves in submission and obedience to its holy teachings.
“I am urging all Americans to publicly bend the knee before our sacred rainbow symbol,” said President Biden in an address to the nation. “Let us all take the time to pray and feast before our god of prideful human flesh, and before its sacred messengers, the genitals. We are a nation of Pride, blessings be upon its name. Just celebrate it, folks! Not a joke! Ok, can I have my snack now?”
Holy prophets in public schools, corporate DEI departments, and Target supermarkets have been dispatched across the land to bear witness to the glories of Pride and destroy the lives of those who refuse to publically worship the vengeful deity. “Blasphemy will not be tolerated,” said Divine Elder Mixie Vavoom, (they/them). “We are the eyes and ears of Pride, and we are watching you.”
The High Holy Days of Pride will conclude this weekend with 1000 abortions and 1000 gender surgeries performed publically on the steps of the White House.
