Into The Furnace…….or Southern Comfort

Almost every little kid knows the story of the three Hebrew boys that were thrown into the furnace.   The wicked old King, Nebuchadnezzar, wanted them to bow down to his statue and they refused, so he sent them straight to the hot hot oven.  They survived because of their faith.

So how does that story relate to this blog?  Because of our stance as Christians we just might be facing our own hot hot oven.

 We as believers are given various derisive titles because of our faith.  We are labeled hate mongers, sexist and racist…….to name a few.  One of the biggest lies being spread to the public is presented by the mainstream media.  They claim that conservative Christians hate people who are different from them, because Christians disagree with their liberal beliefs or behaviors.  Therefore, we are labeled as “hate groups.” Many cite the Southern Poverty Law Center as the authority they depend on to tell them which Christian conservative groups are hateful!!

The SPLC is a far-left outfit headquartered in Montgomery Alabama.  Using distortion and quotes out of context they have a liberal base of believers coming from Hollywood and the eastern progressive establishment.  They promote the idea that Christians are KKK, gun toting, Nazi types who demonized blacks, homosexuals, and liberals. Evidentially fear mongering works.  The SPLC as a nonprofit (501c3) organization has raised over $500 million, much of which is invested in offshore bank accounts.  Check these figures for yourself.  Too bad that many of their own have been forced out due to sexual harassment and racism within their own ranks!!  (Can you hear me laughing?)

The SPLC is the wellspring from which the left draws on to “prove” that groups or people with whom they disagree with politically are hateful.  They call their contributors Progressives and now control most of the institutions of cultural influence: academia, social media, Hollywood, and the Democratic Party. 

When Christians are labeled as hate mongers they know it is a sure fire way to gain attention.  It was a shrewd move on their part.  They know that the last thing Christians want to be known for is hate! The SPLC claim that because you believe in what the Bible teaches about homosexuality you hate homosexuals.  If you oppose illegal immigration you hate Latinos.  If you oppose football players for not rising for the National Anthem, you hate blacks and love police brutality.  If you see the dangers in Islamic law, then you hate Muslims.  And on and on…..

So if you stand up for your beliefs and are willing to hold fast to your faith despite being “thrown in the furnace”………then you might feel the heat!!                                             Turn up the burners!!
