Flood Of Christian Cash Rescuing Florist
In Same-Sex War

70-year-old grandmother could lose business, home to ‘gays’ suing her

By Leo Hohmann, WND — Christians are rallying and spreading the love, stepping up with financial assistance to their brethren burned by the militant same-sex marriage movement.

As WND reported, more than $842,000 poured in last week for a Pizzeria in Indiana forced to close by threats of violence from LGBT supporters.

Another small business owner, this time a florist in Richland, Washington, found herself singled out for refusing to provide service for a same-sex wedding in 2013. She refused and was hit last week with $1,001 in fines and court costs from the state. She still faces a lawsuit from the customer.

Barronelle Stutzman, sole owner of Arlene’s Flowers, could lose her business, home and retirement savings if she loses the suit. A GoFundMe account started by a friend on Feb. 23 sat almost completely idle for weeks but has come alive with donations over the past few days....

Rush Limbaugh: Left Has
‘Fear And Hatred Of Christianity’

By Greg Richter, Newsmax — The left's "fear and hatred of Christianity" and religion in general has driven America's culture wars for the past 30 years, Rush Limbaugh told his radio audience Monday.

"That is what people on the left just have the biggest struggle with. It's a giant enemy," he said in comments reported by Breitbart.

Christianity is a powerful enemy the left has no control over and will never be able to dominate, he said. It is "an enemy they will never be able to obliterate and they know it, but they nevertheless try."

He pointed out that the left has found a huge appreciation for Pope Francis because some of the things he says seem to line up with their thinking.

"So when the Vicar of Christ now and then comes out, utters some economic policy that makes them think he's one of them, they celebrate," Limbaugh said. "I think it's fascinating they desperately want the Pope to be one of them. … Then the Pope will come out the next day and makes it clear he's not one of their guys.

Leftists vacillate from "love, hate, anger, reassessment, appreciation," he said. "It's a fascinating case study to me."

Liberals have done much the same with religious freedom laws, Limbaugh said, pointing out that they loved the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) when it was signed by President Bill Clinton. But they didn't like Indiana's state RFRA, saying it targeted gay people....

Mysterious Blue UFO
Leaves People In Bakersfield Puzzled

DAHBOO77 - Underground World News
“Several neighbors living off Alderpointe Street near Panama and Gosford in southwest Bakersfield say they first witnessed a mysterious blue light in the sky back in February, and again in March. Both times they saw it on the 14th.

"I was taking the recycling out to the trash can, and I saw this blue light in the sky, and I thought, that's kinda bright to be a star, I've never seen a blue star be that bright," said Kelly Castruita.

"Watched it for about 10 minutes, just doing weird stuff, it would turn on and off and it would disappear," added Kelly's husband Jeff.

Neighbors said the blue light was about the size of a dime, and started off just above the skyline, and then migrated northwest.

"It pretty much flew, stopped, then started doing some upward motion and downward motion, so I've never seen anything like it," said neighbor Randy Gabriel. ”

Lib Author: Christian Conservatives
No Longer Moral Majority

“They Had Better Adjust To A New Reality”

By Trey Sanchez, Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt — in an opinion piece for CNN, Stephanie Coontz, author and teacher of history and family studies at a Washington state college, declared that Christian conservatives need to face the facts that in this new political atmosphere, they are no longer the moral majority.

"They had better adjust to a new reality," Coontz writes. She then offers her perspective on the way it has been up until now:
For the past three decades, socially conservative evangelicals and pro-business interests have been powerfully allied against government regulations, environmental initiatives and social welfare programs, while supporting lower taxes for the wealthy and pushing back against the growing diversity in America's population.
Coontz believes this alliance between conservative Christians and pro-business entities has been "puzzling" for other Christians whom she says place "more emphasis on Jesus Christ's message of unconditional love and on his denunciations of excessive wealth and neglect of the poor."

But beyond that group is what Coontz labels "media-savvy millennials" -- those who are all about calling out the perceived discrimination against the LGBT community from businesses or the various religious freedom bills they claim are currently wreaking havoc. In addition, Coontz says that tolerance for the diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation is now the moral standard for political and business models in America, replacing the apparent intolerance of yesteryear's moral majority.

Coontz ends with a warning to business leaders and politicians to not ignore or offend these new constituencies or face the consequences....

Nigeria: Jihadists Preach Islam At Mosque,
Then Murder 24

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch — Reuters is sure that this was an act of deception, and after all, Muhammad is said to have proclaimed, “War is deceit.” However, he is also depicted as saying that Muslims should first invite the unbelievers to accept Islam or pay the jizya, and then fight those who refuse. Did Boko Haram consider that this also applied to Muslims it did not consider to be sufficiently observant?

“Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war… When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them….If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them.” (Sahih Muslim 4294)

“Boko Haram disguised as preachers kill at least 24 in northeast Nigeria,” Reuters, April 6, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Israel Was Blocked From Negotiations


Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14
