911: A Day Of Evil - By E. L. Bynum
Perverts In Washington - By E. L. Bynum
Satan's System Salavating - By Bill Mosley
Surely the time has come for decent Americans to rise up and demand that the perverts in Washington be sent back home. They should have no part in running our government. It matters not whether it is Gary Condit (Con-did-it), or whether it is Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Bob Packwood, or Newt Gingrich. Some have been dumped, and the rest of them need to go. Apparently there are quite a few others that fall in this classification, and I will not attempt to name any others.
Some may think that I am using too strong a word, when I call these immoral, womanizing adulterers and fornicators perverts. They are perverts and so are the homosexuals and lesbians that pollute the halls of our government. Rather than trying to give my definition of pervert, you will find below the definition taken from the Unabridged Webster's Dictionary.
pervert, 1. to cause to turn from what is considered right, natural,
or true; to misdirect; to lead astray; to corrupt.
He in the serpent had perverted Eve. Milton.
2. to turn to an improper use; to misuse.
3. to change or misapply the meaning of; to misinterpret; distort; twist.
4. to bring into a worse condition; to debase.
pervert, to become perverted.
pervert, perverted person; especially, a person who practices sexual
perversions.
perverted, 1. deviating from what is considered right, natural, or true;
characterized by perversion; misdirected. 2. of or practicing sexual perversions.
3. misinterpreted; distorted; twisted. perverter, n. one who perverts.
perversive, a. tending to pervert or corrupt.
If you take the very first definition quoted above you have a description of the awful moral climate that is found in much of our nation. It seems to be so pervasive in Washington, D.C. According to Webster, the meaning is, "pervert, 1. to cause to turn from what is considered right, natural, or true; to misdirect; to lead astray; to corrupt." This is an apt description of the activities of certain office holders who misdirect, lead astray, and corrupt women and youth who go to Washington. These sexual perverts look upon the vulnerable as easy victims for their easy prey.
Another definition given by Webster fits people like Bill Clinton and a host of others. This definition reads as follows, "pervert, perverted person; especially, a person who practices sexual perversions." What he practices is not normal and should be listed as sexual perversion, for that is what it is.
The awful truth is that the average citizen, including many who call themselves Christians, do not go by the Bible. God is no longer the God of this nation, but money and pleasure are the chief gods. If the economy had fallen flat while Bill Clinton was being investigated for his lying and his perversion, he would have been removed from office. The economy was good at the time, and most people did not care what he did. Multitudes would rather live in Sodom, if it is prosperous, than to live in a righteous nation with less prosperity. That is a terrible thing to say, but it is the truth.
We have been conditioned to accept prosperity, pleasure and perversion, above righteousness and holiness. Their idea is, never mind what God says, just give us what we want. Little does the average person realize where this is taking us as a nation. "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God" (Psalms 9:17). "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs 14:34).
This all reminds me of what the Bible says about the last days. "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Timothy 3:1-7).
Read the above verses carefully and you will see that it fits this generation of self lovers. Covetousness, pride, blasphemy, lack of holiness, and lack of natural affection, surely characterizes this generation in America. This generation loves pleasure, does not love God, and denies His power. Immoral predators stalk our nation looking for silly women they can carry deeper into the depths of sin.
Columnist Don Feder quotes P. J. O'Rourke as saying that if candidates were candid, they'd tell voters, "Please elect me to Congress so that I can get out of the Midwest and meet bigwigs and cute babes." I am afraid that in the case of many this would be tragically true.
Feder goes on to say, "In 1999, 71 then serving in Congress had credit ratings so bad they couldn't get an American Express card on their own; 29 had been accused of spousal abuse in criminal or civil proceedings; and 27 had drunk-driving arrests."
The following is quoted from Feder's column also.
"In the past 20 years, members have been convicted of or disciplined by the House Ethics Committee for: accepting bribes from undercover FBI agents posing as Arab businessmen, having sex with underage congressional pages, sexual harassment, racketeering, tax evasion, writing bad checks, kickback schemes with staff, living with a male hooker who ran a prostitution service out of the legislator's apartment, soliciting sex from a minor, corrupting a minor, obstruction of justice, influence-peddling, perjury and embezzlement.
"Gary Condit is a symptom of the problem. The problem is, we elect congressmen for life. The problem is, we pay them too . . . much, give them lavish benefits and treat them like royalty. The problem is, we rarely hold them accountable. The problem is, we believe the campaign drivel that they have our best interests at heart.
"The framers of the Constitution intended service in Congress to be just that a service undertaken out of a sense of civic duty and for a limited time. Instead, most members serve their own egos and appetites. To paraphrase Lord Acton: Power corrupts. Extended service in Congress corrupts absolutely." (Don Feder, 8-29-01)
How can a man or woman be trusted, who breaks their wedding vows. If they will break those sacred vows, how can they be trusted to keep the oath of office. If a man will break his marriage vow, how can he be trusted to keep his word about anything else? If he cannot be trusted to be true to his wife, how can he be trusted to be true to his country? The news media seems to be ready to accept that a man who is an immoral ingrate, may at the same time be a great Senator, Congressman or President. If he will sell out his marriage, we do not know that he will not sell out his country.
It is no wonder that our nation is in the mess it is. Immorality will effect a man's vote on abortion and other moral issues. It is time that we wake up and see the truth that is revealed in the Bible. "Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint" (Prov. 25:19). We sometimes forget that corrupt and immoral leaders will gather an immoral and corrupt staff. "If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked" (Prov. 29:12).
Corrupt rulers and corrupt religious leaders led Israel down the road of ruin in the Old Testament time. The same thing is happening today. The awful tragedy is that the people as a whole do not care. "The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?" (Jer. 5:31). As long as the people love to have it so, nothing will be done about the corruption.
The corrupt rulers in the Old Testament always seem to have their own group of prophets to defend their immorality and corruption. "The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us" (Micah 3:11). When Bill Clinton got caught in his immorality, he had a number of preachers that he leaned on for counseling. We know full well that they did not tell him the truth, and that he only used them to cover up his sin. Gary Condit has a father who is a Baptist preacher. Then we are told that Condit attended Bible classes or prayer groups while in Washington. I'm sure that whatever he got there, it was not the truth.
It is tragic that we have a class of preachers and counselors in this country who love to cover up sin. They are afraid to declare the truth, and many of them have no love for the truth.
We need not look to Washington to the solution of this problem. It did not start there, and it will not be solved there. Until God's people turn back to the Lord, there is no hope. The Democrats, Republicans, nor any other political party will ever have the solution. We must remember that, "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs 14:34). False religion reigns in our nation, and even God called preachers are afraid to speak out about the evils of our day. As long as Christians dress like the world, think like the world, and live like the world, this condition will continue.
Go to the majority of fundamental churches and you will find that there are few if any dress standards. The music is made attractive to the worldly crowd, with gospel rock, contemporary, and country western music. The preacher covers very, very few of the real issues of the day. The congregation is lulled to sleep with psychology and feel- good sermons, which ignore the open sins of the day. These churches often are attracting the largest crowds and people are enthusiastic about getting involved. It is no wonder, because members can be very religious, but unholy, unclean and compromising at the same time. They think that they can be church members and have the best of both worlds at the same time.
Just remember that judgment is coming!
Like a hungry wolf, Satan's salivating glands are anticipating a tasty meal. A diet of souls of men is demanded by the never ending appetite of the devil. Even as a roaring lion seeking its prey, the devil's system is engaging in a last front effort to dishonor God's name, discredit His Word, and displace His authority. Hedonism is his tool; humanism is his medium, and hell- bound souls are his goal.
Over a decade ago Kmart was one of the nation's number one sellers of pornography through its Waldenbooks bookstores. The American Family Assn. in the early '90s led in a boycott of the company and Kmart discontinued its porn business. Leadership has changed, so has the policy to honor traditional family-oriented articles of commerce. The new chairman of Kmart, Charles Conway, has decided to take the company back into the porn business. This is in the area of obscene, violent music CDs, some of which promote killing parents and law officials. Vulgar profanities, rape, and bestiality fills much of the worldly rock music CD's.
Just as surely as shopping baskets are filled with bargains and school supplies, an unaware mother will be persuaded to buy "just a simple CD" for entertainment. Much of the content of such CDs cannot be understood by adults. Partly because the older generation are unaccustomed to the kind of vernacular used. But be sure the children will soon pick up on every syllable. Satan once again is subtly encroaching upon and cleverly initiating a plan to further destroy the family. Kmart's chairman said his decision to carry "explicit music" was merely in response "to customer demand."
The chain's administration makes the claim that those under age 17 could not buy CD's with warning stickers. This will work about as well as restriction on tobacco and liquor. It seems prohibition stimulates the desire of the sin-inclined nature of the flesh.
Further, NewsMax reports the major TV networks are planning a full-scale attack on traditional values. How the upcoming fall presentations can be more vile than the present is difficult to perceive. Yet ABC, CBS, and NBC are considering dropping the few remaining standards on prime-time TV. Expletives and four-letter words which have never before been spoken on broadcast at this time are to be introduced.
Expletives stated or implied in the NewsMax article cannot be printed here, nor would I want to write such. Satan's sinful salivary glands are pumped up by his appetite for souls inclined to wayward conduct. What a devastating effect these two mediums, along with others, will have on advancing society's further downfall. Normalizing sin is the ultimate effort of the satanic plan to destroy civilization. Getting used to the darkness of debauched performances will be the reaction of eyes exposed to the upcoming perversion. All the more reason for the Lord's church to avoid resembling the world's attire, music, mannerism, and teaching.
Networks claim their reason for this is that HBO programs are drawing customers away from their advertised product. Major networks claim they fear the loss of key advertisers, who are seeking the youth market. At least they are honest in stating the group that demands their interest. (I Cor 15:34)
"Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame."
