Google Blocks Blog Exposing Homosexual Agenda
Recently Google selectively blocked a blog 
MassResistance a website out of Massachusetts dedicated to exposing the homosexual agenda and protecting families from the liberal left. Here is the report from WorldNetDaily:

Google’s blog hosting service, Blogger.com, admits that in the name of “free speech” some of its blogs are “offensive, harmful, inaccurate,” but when one of its clients blogged in opposition to a transgender rights bill, Google drew the line.
A day before the Massachusetts Legislature plans to review a controversial gender identity bill, Blogger.com blocked the blog of MassResistance, an organization that exposes the increasingly open agenda of the homosexual movement in Massachusetts, with a warning that some of the content may be “objectionable,” requiring readers to confirm their intent to visit…
… “Some readers of this blog have contacted Google because they believe this blog’s content is objectionable,” the warning reads. “In general, Google does not review nor do we endorse the content of this or any blog. For more information about our content policies, please visit the Blogger Terms of Service.”
MassResistance blogger Amy Contrada, however, writes that the only potentially “objectionable” items on the blog are photos taken in public settings and her group’s politically incorrect viewpoints.
“We publish only facts, ‘uncomfortable truths,’ not rumors or personal attacks,” Contrada writes on her blog. “And obviously, our photos reveal the ugly truth. Then, we identify those public figures who are twisting the law to enable public perversion and subversion of our youth and culture.”
“We’ve had that blog on there since 2005,” said Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance, “and only when we started posting on the new transgender bill before the Legislature did this happen.
“If you look at Google’s policy on hate speech, they do state you can’t include hate against people for their sexual orientation or gender identity,” Camenker told WND. “But the things we write are all factual; we don’t advocate beating anyone up. On the other hand, there are an enormous number of blogs against religious people that are clearly vile and hateful, particularly during the Proposition 8 battle in California. Some of that content was hideous, and it’s still up.
“Nothing on our site could be construed as ‘hate,’” Camenker said…
… The website’s content policy further states, “It is our belief that censoring this content is contrary to a service that bases itself on freedom of expression.”
MassResistance, however, told WND that Google’s actions speak louder than the words in its policies.
“Google seems to have a double standard,” Camenker said. “It hosts a large number of gay activist sites that are vile and vicious, particularly against religious people, yet they put up an ‘objectionable content’ warning on our blog. How do they define what’s offensive?”
Contrada told WND that as more and more states – and even the federal government – look to pass “hate speech” bills and laws protecting the undefined labels of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” Americans will be shocked, both by what they see displayed on the public streets and by what they can’t say in the public square…
… Camenker also said that as Google becomes more technologically entrenched in every aspect of communications, he fears how content will be monitored in the future.
“It’s Orwellian,” Camenker told WND. “With Google controlling operating systems, blogs, Web searches, Internet access and software, it can get pretty bad. It could happen to anyone with a company as powerful as Google.”

I’d say Orwellian is an understatement in this regard. It looks like Massachusetts is well on it’s way to an Orwellian state reminiscent of 1984. These controversial “hate crime” laws are unconstitutional and destroy our freedoms as well as increase the governments control in our lives.
The fact that Google would block this blog and not do the same for the homosexual activists blogs sends a clear statement to the public. This statement is obviously slanted to the left and in clear violation of their own content policy, as well as a violation of the constitutional freedom of speech.

John Piper’s Message To President Obama
The following is a moving video response to President Obama’s statement on the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. If you agree with abortion this I hope will give you something to think about.
- There were over 3,500 abortions per day in 2003, 146 per hour, about one every 25 seconds.
- In 2003, more children died from abortion than Americans died in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars combined.
- The annual number of abortions went from 744,600 in the first year of legalization, to a high of over 1.6 million in 1990. In 2003, there were 1,287,000.
- There have been over 48 million abortions since 1973.
- At an average cost of $372, the abortion business is a $400 million a year industry.
seven that are detestable to him:
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,

Does the Bible Teach that We Can Choose God?
Posted on July 10th, 2009
Does the Bible teach that we can choose God? Or does the bible teach that God chooses us?
Because I didn’t understand election, I used the common argument in evangelical churches today. Going beyond what the scriptures teach, I reasoned in my own mind that God predestined us to salvation because he foreknew that we would make that choice. Today, this seems to me a very silly and futile argument.
There is one main problem I have with this argument, and it’s a huge problem.

Does Calvinism Teach Infant Salvation?

Does Calvinism teach infant salvation? 
Do Calvinists teach that all infants will go to hell as some (non Calvinists) say? Calvinists are not always what others portray us to be.

The Depravity of Mankind
Posted on June 27th, 2009
The Depravity of Mankind
By John Calvin(Emphasis Mine):
Here, again, the infinitude of good which resides in God becomes more apparent from our poverty. In particular, the miserable ruin into which the revolt of the first man has plunged us, compels us to turn our eyes upwards; not only that while hungry and famishing we may thence ask what we want, but being aroused by fear may learn humility. For as there exists in man something like a world of misery, and ever since we were stript of the divine attire our naked shame discloses an immense series of disgraceful properties every man, being stung by the consciousness of his own unhappiness, in this way necessarily obtains at least some knowledge of God. Thus, our feeling of ignorance, vanity, want, weakness, in short, depravity and corruption, reminds us (see Calvin on John 4:10), that in the Lord, and none but He, dwell the true light of wisdom, solid virtue, exuberant goodness. We are accordingly urged by our own evil things to consider the good things of God; and, indeed, we cannot aspire to Him in earnest until we have begun to be displeased with ourselves. For what man is not disposed to rest in himself? Who, in fact, does not thus rest, so long as he is unknown to himself; that is, so long as he is contented with his own endowments, and unconscious or unmindful of his misery? Every person, therefore, on coming to the knowledge of himself, is not only urged to seek God, but is also led as by the hand to find him.
2. On the other hand, it is evident that man never attains to a true self-knowledge until he has previously contemplated the face of God, and come down after such contemplation to look into himself. For (such is our innate pride) we always seem to ourselves just, and upright, and wise, and holy, until we are convinced, by clear evidence, of our injustice, vileness, folly, and impurity. Convinced, however, we are not, if we look to ourselves only, and not to the Lord also —He being the only standard by the application of which this conviction can be produced. For, since we are all naturally prone to hypocrisy, any empty semblance of righteousness is quite enough to satisfy us instead of righteousness itself. And since nothing appears within us or around us that is not tainted with very great impurity, so long as we keep our mind within the confines of human pollution, anything which is in some small degree less defiled delights us as if it were most pure just as an eye, to which nothing but black had been previously presented, deems an object of a whitish, or even of a brownish hue, to be perfectly white. Nay, the bodily sense may furnish a still stronger illustration of the extent to which we are deluded in estimating the powers of the mind. If, at mid-day, we either look down to the ground, or on the surrounding objects which lie open to our view, we think ourselves endued with a very strong and piercing eyesight; but when we look up to the sun, and gaze at it unveiled, the sight which did excellently well for the earth is instantly so dazzled and confounded by the refulgence, as to oblige us to confess that our acuteness in discerning terrestrial objects is mere dimness when applied to the sun. Thus too, it happens in estimating our spiritual qualities. So long as we do not look beyond the earth, we are quite pleased with our own righteousness, wisdom, and virtue; we address ourselves in the most flattering terms, and seem only less than demigods. But should we once begin to raise our 39thoughts to God, and reflect what kind of Being he is, and how absolute the perfection of that righteousness, and wisdom, and virtue, to which, as a standard, we are bound to be conformed, what formerly delighted us by its false show of righteousness will become polluted with the greatest iniquity; what strangely imposed upon us under the name of wisdom will disgust by its extreme folly; and what presented the appearance of virtuous energy will be condemned as the most miserable impotence. So far are those qualities in us, which seem most perfect, from corresponding to the divine purity.
Excerpted from Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book I, Chapter 1; by John Calvin. (Available to read freely online or plain text HERE, or for purchase HERE.
I love how Calvin so eloquently describes mankind’s total impurity and evil nature. I honestly don’t think any man could describe it any better than this outside of Scripture. We can see this jaded view that mankind has of himself everyday in our post-modern society. In fact if one were to randomly ask people walking to-and-fro in the streets, one would find that the general consensus among everyday people is that, “People are essentially Good.” This is even more so due to heavy indoctrination into evolutionism and the belief that we can evolve as humans and we slowly are evolving into better and better society as a whole. Only when we become truelly displeased with ourselves and God gives us a true view of ourselves can we truly see what we really look like in God’s eyes without His Grace.

The Fallacy of the "Seeker Sensitive" Ministry.
Posted on June 25th, 2009
Many modern 20th & 21st century American protestant churches have been falsely preaching a 
lie for a number of years. The lie of a “Seeker Sensitive” ministry. The lie that an unrighteous man in his sins could seek after God. Romans 3 makes this abundantly clear, and regardless what we were taught or believe, scripture is unfailing in it’s truth.
Romans 3:10-20
As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
“Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
ruin and misery mark their ways,
and the way of peace they do not know.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
Only through the call of the Holy Spirit to the law is our heart turned and our eyes opened. When the Holy Spirit works in our heart and opens our eyes to the Law, then we see how deserving we are of the Wrath of God, and only through Jesus Christ can our souls be saved.
This video gives a clear illustration of the fallacy of this idea of a “Seeker Sensitive” ministry.

What is "Free" Will?
Posted on June 21st, 2009
What is “Free” Will and what does that have to do with Jesus Christ and my salvation. This is a very serious question that we need to understand and answer if we are to understand the “Doctrine of Grace”. In our post-modern society lines & truths have been blurred almost beyond comprehension. This video series helps to shed light on a subject that carries much controversy.

Reformed Christian Blogs Begins
Posted on June 21st, 2009
This is the first post in an endeavor by my wife and myself to merge our own blogs into one website and to start a reformation based blog to share our thoughts and beliefs and hopefully those of other authors in the days and months to come.
Over the next several days and weeks this Blog/Website should start to come together as well as our own individual blogs which will be merging onto this site.
