I am in Greece for my youngest granddaughter's 21st. A mature Greek man Eileen and I met at my daughter's language school opened up a conversation with the words "Congratulations and thank you, it's just like 1940 when England stood against the tyrannical Nazi Germany alone, she is now standing alone against a tyrannical EU dominated by Germany". He was wrong, there are many similarities to 1940 but this time we are standing against much of the world hell bent on a GLOBALISATION programme. If you don't think that globalisation, led by the corrupt Illuminati /Bilderberg group, is fact, read Jason Carter's excellently researched book "The Trumpet Blast Warning". Globalisation, of which the EU is part, is about killing off democracy and the subjugation of the world's free people.
Certainly the vote to leave the EU would have caused temporary uncertainty but the current financial market turmoil is largely down to the reaction of our political leaders. David Cameron's cowardly resignation within hours of the result was enough to exaggerate the reaction but the rest of the politician's decent into political infighting has caused a situation that is now probably a severe and unnecessary financial crisis. If David Cameron had stood in Downing Street on the morning of Friday 24th June and made a Churchillian speech of " we will fight them on the beaches etc" quality and the rest of the politicians instead of fighting leadership battles were standing with him putting the country's needs first rather than their own selfish political ambitions. If the ruthless Nicola Sturgeon, she truly is a Lady McBeth, had not used the political turmoil to promote her ambitions do you really think that the current crisis would have been anywhere near as bad?
Top Gear at the end of a recent series lined up all the vehicles Great Britain manufactures along the Mall, add to that other areas we excel in and you will see that the only real worry we should have is our political leadership and our rejection of Christianity. We do not have a financial problem we have a moral problem!
England founded as a Christian country according to Churchill 's "History of the English Speaking Peoples" has been dragged away from Christianity since WWll resulting in our descent into a morally bankrupt society, including the state Church of England. We need to once again turn to Christ in prayer, as we did in May 1940 when our troops were stranded on the beaches at Dunkirk. 3 miracles happened then and the troops were brought home, Christ will support us again and raise up a leader or leaders that are capable of taking us through the current crisis. I promise you we will come out of this as a confident world leading country, for good, again and I call on my generation, those born in and before the WWll to show the same steel and make the same sacrifices our parents did to pass on blessed life we have had to today's children.
My prayer is for the Queen at this time, may her counsel be wise.
Prayer, Petition, Protest
Freedom of speech, and the England my generation is leaving to the children of today.

Asher's and Same Sex Marriage
It's
been a sad week for Christians, first the owners of Asher's bakery
lost their case in Northern Ireland and then the Irish Republic voted
by a large majority to pass legislation to enable same sex marriage.
Both demonstrate the movement away from being a Christian Society; I
believe that if we had a referendum here, there would be a similar
result.
I
grew up in South East London and knew nothing of homosexuality until
I was about 21 despite having an effeminate boy in my class. It was no
big deal and some copied his feminine ways. Since my early 20's I
have met and worked with homosexuals, it was no big deal. Prior to
the 1967 act legalising homosexuality, there was never any suggestion
of shopping them; certainly my circle of friends did not and do
not agree with imprisonment or any other sort of punishment. I never
saw or heard of any bullying of the boy at school or those I worked
with or knew socially. So why am I now protesting against the
homosexual agenda? The answer is that it is the agenda I object to
and not the individuals. There is no tolerance in the LGBT community
and respect for others' positions how ever well-founded, yet they
want tolerance & respect from the rest of society.
In
the Asher case, the judge recognised the sincerity of the defendants' beliefs, I would go further: the defendants based their beliefs on
The Holy Bible which were therefore therefore well-founded. Queen Victoria suggested
that the Holy Bible put the GREAT in Britain and our history is a
testament to the wisdom of basing our society on it. Asher's decision
is backed by centuries of these islands "punching well above
their weight". So not unreasonable, even if, these days, an
unlawful position to take. The media failed to report that a Yougov
pole of Britain found that 65% thought that no legal action should be
taken and 56% thought that Asher's stance was acceptable.
The
Irish referendum means that at least their society had a say in the
result. But the media and politicians weighed in heavily on for the "
yes" campaign. All the Irish parties backed it. The media
reported funding by so called far-right Christians for the NO vote
but failed to mention the 25 million dollar donation by an American
charity for the YES vote.
Whatever I feel about these two events, we are where we are. However, does
that mean that we should deprive Christians of their income
purely because they are running a business? In reports of the Asher
case, Mr Lee was described as a "gay activist": he could have
gone to other bakers but chose Asher's who are known locally for
their Christian beliefs. As with other similar cases, there is a
suspicion that these cases are occurring because of the provocative
actions of the LGBT community.
The
problem with any human rights law is that in legislating for one person, you reduce or remove the rights of another person,
recent laws have attacked freedom of speech and thought. Fundamental
to a working democracy. The sexuality equality laws have led to the
LGBT community trying to force Christians to abandon the Holy Bible as
reliable evidence of God's intention for the world. For many
Christians, the Holy Bible is Spirit breathed and infallible, therefore
although the Holy Bible tells us to obey the law of the land, where
there is a conflict between secular law and God's law, the Christian
has to obey God's higher law. My search of the web found no
discrimination cases against Moslems despite their more intolerant
views and draconian punishments in connection with homosexuality.
The
Holy Bible is clear on marriage. In Genesis 2: 21-24 it says:
"21
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he
a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now
bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and
they shall be one flesh".
Jesus
then confirms this when speaking on divorce in St. Mark 10: 6 - 8:
"6
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so
then they are no more twain, but one flesh".
Note
that marriage is about two people, male & female; its effect is
to recreate one person, God's creation and God's plan. If you listen
to the remaining member of a marriage that has lasted many years the
effect of this is obvious, different to any other pain felt after a
loss. Heterosexual marriage has been the building block of all major
societies throughout history. Therefore, Christians cannot compromise
on this subject. God's ways and laws are not there to impede us but
are for everyone's benefit and to create a better society for our
children to grow up in.
I
grew up in a Christian society where humility and respect was the
natural order. The LGBT community could do with some of that and
respect Christians following their religion, providing it is
consistent with the Holy Bible's teaching. I believe this and other
things going on are designed to weaken Christianity, and if it does
not return to being a force in our society, it will leave a vacuum
when Islam is forecasting it will have Sharia law in this country by
2050. Will the LGBT community be comfortable with that?
BUT
We
Christians have to take responsibility for the fact that we are not
getting the message across to the LGBT and other communities. We are
perceived as hypocritical, narrow-minded, backward-thinking people
who just want to spoil anything that has to do with enjoyment. This
is not as I know my fellow Christians, so we need to counter this by
making it very plain that our role is to point people
to Jesus and his written Word. Christianity is about freedom
to choose to follow Jesus. I admire the people of Islam's
protection of their holy books (but not their actions), Christians
should remember that the Holy Bible is Spirit breathed and therefore
infallible and there is plenty of scientific evidence
on websites like Answers in Genesis, Creation Ministries
International and others to back this up. We must also bring
the Holy Spirit and The Holy Bible together, then I believe our
actions and when necessary, our words will make the rest of our
community sit up and take notice.
