Revelation

Revelation 19:11-21

Then I saw heaven opened and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on His head were many crowns.

He had a name written that no one knows except Himself.

He wore a robe stained with blood, and His name is called the Word of God. 

The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen.

From His mouth came a sharp sword, so that with it He might strike the nations. He will shepherd them with an iron scepter. He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Lured into debilitating porn addictions

The People Vs E-tv (Phase 2) 

Despite assurances to their advertisers that “Naked News” contradicted the channels “high family values,” E-tv again broadcasted the appallingly sexist strip show on Saturday 2 July at 1:10am.

The channel of “high family values” also aired several pornographic SMS adverts that have proven to be harmful to children. Many reports have emerged over the past five years indicating children are downloading porn to their cell phones and sharing these hard-core images with their friends.

I am reliably informed that E-tv is considering broadcasting additional episodes of “Naked News.”

It appears E-tv is emboldened by the recent ruling of the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA that found nothing wrong with women stripping naked on national free-to-air television.

The Body of Christ must not relent in its defence of the dignity of women and children in SA!

As a result of the channel’s rejection of the valid concerns of thousands of Christians, I have embarked upon the 2nd phase of our campaign against E-tv’s pro-porn programming schedule.

I have written to the CEO’s of several companies currently advertising on E-tv, explaining why programs like “Naked News” and porn SMS adverts are harmful to women and children in SA.

I have requested the advertisers consider cancelling their ad campaigns on E-tv until the channel agrees to permanently remove pornographic movies, adverts & strip shows from its schedule.

I also explained that there is a growing call from Christians for a targeted boycott of all products and services advertised on E-tv. The channel will arrogantly continue broadcasting sexually explicit content on national free-to-air television as long as they enjoy the support of their advertisers.   

You and I must have the courage of our convictions to stay the course and continue the fight against porn on national TV. Millions of SA families are at risk when porn is made acceptable.

Depending on the advertiser’s response, FPI may have to launch a nationwide boycott of all products and services advertised on E-TV to pressure the channel into changing its policies.

Please note, this is not only about E-tv but about the greater battle to defend the family against a growing onslaught of sexually explicit content appearing in various public media platforms.

The Body of Christ in SA must stand united in its defence of the God-given institutions of marriage and the family if we have any hope of building a strong, healthy and prosperous society.

Thousands of young men are lured into debilitating porn addictions through programs like “Naked News.” Porn addictions eventually lead to sexual dysfunction and the breakdown of marriages.

The great reformer, Martin Luther declared, "If I profess with loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved."

The battle is raging against the family. You must answer the call of God to defend this most ancient of institutions. Please stand with me as a loyal soldier to defeat the anti-family agenda in SA.

Sexually Exploitation

The negative publicity generated by the anti-porn mass boycott of E-tv is beginning to take effect. Apparently, advertisers are also concerned about the channels anti-family programming schedule.  

Alarmingly, E-tv has revealed two conflicting and very deceptively different faces in their response to this issue – one to the Christian complainants and the media, and another to their advertisers.

E-tv’s standard response to the thousands of Christians who lodged complaints about “Naked News” and other pornographic content on the channel was an arrogant defence of their “right” to abuse freedom of expression to sexually exploit women & expose children to harmful content.

In sharp contrast, and in response to the cancellation of an advertising campaign on the channel, E-tv shockingly claimed to be a channel of “high family values.”  In their bizarre response to the agency, E-tv apportions blame to outside forces and claims a “pro-family” programming schedule.

Nothing can be further from the truth! E-tv has deservedly earned the reputation of a “tacky” and “sleazy” broadcaster – even from liberals. In fact, the channel has consistently been anti-family.

But it appears E-tv’s pro-pornographic programming schedule has already offended some of their advertisers and consequently threatened their much needed advertising revenue.

And there is nothing like an exodus of advertisers to challenge the channel’s anti-family policies.

Many Christians have called for a targeted boycott of products advertised on E-tv. Perhaps writing to these companies warning about advertising on E-tv will apply more pressure on the channel.

A list of products & company’s advertising on E-tv was posted on the FPI Facebook page. Please take the time to write to these company's about E-tv’s harmful and anti-family programs.

I am not convinced by E-tv’s sudden family-friendly about turn. This is obviously a desperate attempt to retain their advertisers and more significantly - exposes the channels Achilles heel.     

You and I must maintain the pressure and send a clear message to E-tv and other broadcasters that the Body of Christ will not relent in its quest to clean up our airwaves to protect the family.

The good news is the negative publicity generated by the E-tv anti-porn campaign is beginning to impact the channel. I will request an undertaking from E-tv management confirming they will cancel all sexually explicit content and adopt a more family-friendly approach to broadcasting.

Until we have that, let's maintain the pressure on E-tv by warning their advertisers of the boycott.

You are never alone

A prayer that shocked the world

When minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new sessions of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:

''Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ''Woe to those who call evil good.'' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.

We confess that:

We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism.

We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism. We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle.

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot the abortionist and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of your will. I ask it in the Name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.''

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In six short weeks, Central Christian Church, were Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa, and Korea. Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on The Rest of the Story on the radio and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.

With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called one nation under God!

SA Turn to God!

a Challenge

Attempt something so big, that if God is not part of it, it will not succeed.

How can it be?

AMAZING LOVE... how can it be, that You my King would choose to die for me?

My King!

There is just something about Christmas that unifies the world… think about it for a minute… whether u believe in Jesus or not - For at least a few days, most part of the world knows that we as Christians celebrate the birth of our beloved Jesus.  And HIS name is on everyone’s minds….

(Christmas = mass people hear about Christ)
