No doubt many will remember the ridiculous court ruling last month that councils were not allowed to hold prayers. The govt. fast tracked a law through the House over-ruling this decision and councils can continue to pray (as they have done for many years).
The person responsible for taking this matter to court was one Clive Bone a former councillor in Bideford, Devon. This atheist (fool) objected to his "human rights " being breached when the council began meetings with prayer and, backed by the equally perverse National Secular Society, took his case to the courts and won his "victory".
Despite the matter now having been closed, by the govt.'s reversal of the legal declaration, it seems that militant secularists are still intent on playing silly games over the issue. This was highlighted by their decision to give £1,000 to Mr Bone as a "reward" for the evil perpetrated by him. He was photographed with a prominent atheist (fool) after the award was announced looking very pleased with himself.
I wonder how pleased he will be when he is in Hellfire? What price will £1,000 be when he is in indescribable torments, knowing that there will be no respite for all eternity? No doubt he would be glad to give back that £1,000 many times over for just one glass of cold water!
However, the good news of the Gospel is that even Mr Bone can receive God's mercy - if only he will come to his senses. If he truly repents of his wickedness and accepts Jesus as his personal Saviour then he will avoid the flames of an eternal Hell and enjoy the blessings of an eternal Heaven.
Sadly, though, very few atheists have the good sense to repent and turn to Christ. It seems that as they get older they become even more hardened to the Gospel. Just like clay left out in the sun becomes progressively harder, so these fools seem to become increasingly obnoxious the more they are exposed to Gospel truths.
The Bible says: "The fool hath said in his heart 'there is no God' ". (Psalm 14 v 1) - an apt description of Mr Bone and his ilk.

The double standards of the liberal elite
As western societies continue their downgrade into all manner of filth and perversity the one statement that we hear political leaders make time and again goes like this: "we believe in freedom, the freedom to live as you please and the freedom to express yourselves as you please".
To the inhabitants of such countries living, as we do, in the shadow of democracy (so-called) this sounds right and fitting. After all, if we value freedom we should allow people to live as they please and express their thoughts and views. This means that whatever your lifestyle and beliefs you must have the right of "free expression". However, the liberal elite have failed to tell us what they really mean; what they really mean is this - you are free to live as you please and express your views providing you are not a Christian.
In the last few years there have been numerous examples of Christians being persecuted because they will not conform to the diktats of the liberal elite. We have read of those who have been hauled before the courts because they will not allow their homes to be used for the purpose of homosexual perversion, we have read of those who have been harassed by the police and even arrested for expressing the truth regarding this filth. We have also read many news articles about Christians who have lost their jobs because they wish to display their faith by wearing the cross (even though adherents of other religions are left alone).
Others have been vilified by the media because they have spoken the truth - the latest example of this being the persecution of Kirk Cameron. Speaking on the Piers Morgan chat show on CNN he declared the truth concerning homosexuality - stating that it is against nature. A veritable hornet's nest has been stirred up and he is being treated like a pariah. (Of course, it is wrong to do physical harm to sodomites or incite others to, but the truth of God's infallible word is clear - it is an abomination).
Should we be surprised at this? Given the double standards evident in western "civilisation", no we should not be surprised. Indeed, Jesus Himself promised that His followers would face persecution. In John 15 v 18-19 He said: "If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you". Moreover, in John 7 v 7 when Jesus was speaking to his brothers (His natural brothers, not His disciples) He said "The world cannot hate you, but me it hates because I testify of it that the works thereof are evil". Just as Jesus was hated for speaking the truth so will we be; providing we speak the truth and don't hide our light under a basket.
What then should be our response to this outbreak of persecution? Firstly we should pray for courage and strength, secondly we should be bold in speaking/writing the truth and thirdly we should pray for our persecutors that God would be pleased to open their eyes and save their souls.
At present there appears to be an unstoppable flood, indeed an avalanche, of vile wickedness and perversion on every hand. Christians are accused of being obsessed by homosexuality but this is not the case - the obsession is on the part of those who promote this filth, true Christians are simply responding Biblically by opposing it. However, God's day will come - He will bring these perverts and their supporters to account and, if they do not repent before they die, they WILL face the horrors of eternal damnation.
Revelation 20 v 15 "..whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire".
