There have been all kinds of complaints about the Biden Administration giving so much money to video game companies to support the woke racist DEI agenda. Other countries also give money to video game companies to make games. After playing Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission I cannot help but wonder if this was one of the video games that was paid for by some government tax dollars to preach a radicalized viewpoint. At the very least the question needs to be asked of Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission. What kind of an agenda was behind this game?

I find it interesting that some people complain that entertainment is bad if there is no one that looks like them. By there logic Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission is bad for me and a super majority of Americans.
[...]
The major thing we do in Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission is pick up trash. Did no one remember that Captain Planet had a horrible video game? When we completely clean an area then animals come back. We can then take pictures of the animals and get told all kinds of radical far left propaganda about them. Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission is too preachy on the environmentalism. The preaching from the far left in Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission is shoved down players throats.

We get spirits, ancients, and false gods in Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission too. Why was that needed? I was stunned at some of the propaganda within Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission. I live streamed this game for one hour and decided I never ever want to go back to it. You could not pay me enough to play more of Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission. Let me amend that, for one million dollars I would play one more hour of this game. Any givers or takers on that?
[...]
At the end of the day Dolphin Spirit Ocean Mission is too preachy, too radical, and feels like a massive false narrative. Pass on this game unless you are a radical environmentalist that wants to hear your opinion echo chambered in a video game.

I am writing this while the government shutdown continues to drag on. I noticed that things are not getting better in America in terms of politics. The radical extremist on the far left are getting more unhinged by the day. The more they lose the more they viciously and hatefully attack people that are diverse from them. Remember they claim to be tolerant of diversity. Just not anyone that is different from them in perspective. I find this really sad.

I also do not understand why a few people can hold the entire government hostage because they want to spend more money than the government makes. Why are they allowed to spend more money than we have? I can't do that for very long. Why can't they be fiscally responsible? Why can't they do what is good for the majority of America? Why must they act this way? When will they step up and do the right thing. Why can't we have one item to discuss at a time? Are they worried they will lose the debate? Are they concerned they will be exposed for trying to break the law to get themselves more votes?

I asked a lot of questions in that last paragraph. It is important to note that I ask them out of genuine curiosity. The View recently claimed Republicans are scared to come on their show. All of these Republicans provided evidence they were ready, willing, and able to show up, but the show rejected them. They have never invited me either. Why do liberals feel that lying, and smearing others is the right course of action? When will they start to be adults and responsible? Hosts of the View have also walked out on some guests because they were conservatives. Why is giving respect mainly coming from the right?

God Bless America #fundie topix.com

Jesus said that a house divided against itself cannot stand. America was founded as a Christian nation. The motto of the American Revolution was "NO KING BUT KING JESUS." The Constitution was signed, "in the year of our Lord (Jesus Christ) seventeen hundred and eighty-seven." All Americans need to turn back to God so that we can learn to love our neighbors as we love ourselves and to do to others what we would want them to do to us.
How to get to Heaven:
1. You will spend all of eternity either in heaven or in hell. Jesus Christ said,“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”(Matthew 7:13)
2. Unforgiven sin is what damns a person to hell forever. The Apostle Paul said,“All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.”(Romans 2:12)
3. We are all sinners who need to be forgiven. The Apostle John said,“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.”(1 John 1:8)
4. We can never be good enough to earn forgiveness. The Apostle James said,“Whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”(James 2:10)
5. Salvation is a free gift by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul told Christians,“It is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast.”(Ephesians 2:10)
6. Jesus Christ paid the price for the sins of all who would believe in Him. The Bible says,“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures—”(1 Corinthians 15:3)
7. I encourage you to seek God’s forgiveness and grace today. The Apostle John said,“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”(1 John 1:9)

A lot of parents are trying to find ways to keep their kids safe from the radicalization that is coming from schools, comic books, television shows, movies, and more. Even if a kid jokes about their gender then the radical activists in the schools are brainwashing them to mutilate their bodies, take hormones they should never take, and more. These people are not being held accountable for the damages they are causing our youth.

The government is currently completely in support of encouraging mental illness instead of treating it. I know a lot of parents tell me they can't get away from it. They have to work to pay for the massive inflationary costs thanks to Joe Biden and the Democrats. There are too many taxes they have to pay because the government is too bloated. There is an entire class in America that relies on the government to survive. The rest of us can't afford to pay the costs of all those hand out programs. Illegal aliens are pouring in and getting free services as well. Does anyone care? Is anyone going to correct the bad direction of the government?

I am having trouble finding very much entertainment that is not actively trying to brainwash the youth into their radical ideas that are actually the same old rebellion against God. Isn't it interesting that we can see who is behind all this? Parents if you can find a way to home school your children then do it. If you can find a way to get some land, and grow as much of your own food then do it. If you can find a way to make your own clothing then do it. If you can find a way to support the good entertainment then do it. Satan and his supporters continue to attack Family Friendly Gaming for daring to speak out against the delusions they are encouraging.

Why is there so much discrimination against Christians in the video game industry? Why does the radical far left gaming media discriminate against Christians so badly? Why do so many video game companies discriminate against Christians? What is their problem? Why are they filled with such hatred for Christians? Why do they grant preferential treatment to some groups yet treat Christians like third class citizens? What is going on here man? Who else is speaking out on this topic?

We have been discriminated against here at Family Friendly Gaming for being Christian. We have been viciously and hatefully attacked for being Christian. We have had death threats for being Christian. There have been angry psycho haters attacking us everywhere possible online because we encourage everyone to be obedient to God. We are hated for telling everyone to reject rebellion against God. We have been attacked for standing up for traditional values. We have been attacked for telling the truth in love. We have been viciously smeared for having a relationship with Jesus Christ. We have faced angry psycho haters for refusing to accept attempts to redefine, words, institutions, and gender.

There are plenty of issues and problems within the video game industry. The biggest black eye the video game industry has is how it treats Christians. I have faced angry hatred for saying Christmas at gaming trade shows. I have had people black list Family Friendly Gaming because we choose to be obedient to God. I have faced angry hatred for refusing to join them in rebellion against God. These same angry psycho haters claim they are tolerant of diversity. We are diverse from you, and you discriminate against us. When will you step up to the plate and do the right thing? When we will emulate the love, care, and attention we have given you for years? How about shoot for twenty-five percent? Or will these haters actually come clean and admit what kind of evil liars they actually are?

I see why so many people did not like Wicked. This movie takes the radical far lefts approach of trying to make everyone into a victim. The animals are losing their voices. The leaders of the society are lying to you. If you are an outcast you are the actual chosen one that must bring down the evil leaders. Wicked is pure rebellion against those God allowed into power. Wicked teaches the opposite lessons of the Holy Bible. I would say Wicked attacks people of faith.

After I recorded my video on the evil assassination of Charlie Kirk something came to me. Anyone else notice the different reaction to events by certain populations in the political realm? Do you have the beginning of a clue as to what I am referencing? I will get right into that in just a moment. I believe the way people react to things says a lot about them.

When the long time criminal George Floyd died there were violent protests, and violent reactions. Police were attacked. Businesses were robbed. Businesses were burned down. People were shot, stabbed, and killed in a plethora of ways. This is how the political left responds to events they do not approve of. When there was that horrible attack at a Catholic school recently there were radicals on the far left that instantly want all guns banned. What about all of the attacks by knives? What about all of the attacks by hands, or feet? Must we ban all knives? Must be ban all hands and feet? What about those trained in martial arts?

The political right has prayer vigils in response to all of the Christians and conservatives being murdered by liberals. We are not out there burning down cities. We are not out there demanding everyone give us millions of dollars for the color of our skin. We are not taking advantage of the tragedies. We care more about the victims than political power. We care more about continuing to follow, honor, and obey God. I know that may be a foreign concept to some people. I continue to point people to God. I continue to do God's will for my life. The radicals on the political left have sent me death threats. I refuse to obey them and their master Satan.

There are all kinds of different things I do not understand about human beings. There are things that humans do and say that absolutely baffle me. Take for example there are people that are absolutely vehement that they want God out of their lives and out of their business. Then when something bad happens they blame God. God respected your wishes. How can you be mad at Him for that? Maybe you should include God in your life more. Maybe show God your appreciation for the good times.

There are people that are going around telling everyone how they do not believe in God. Then when tragedy strikes they are the first ones to say: "How could God allow that?" Now you believe in God? When you think you can try and make God look bad. You are the ones who ran around claiming He does not exist. Why blame something you claim to not believe in? Obviously you comprehend that God does exist. You want to take no responsibility for demanding God have nothing to do with your life. Satan came in there and filled that void real fast. Why don't you ever blame Satan for anything?

Things like those make no sense to me. I work diligently to include God in all my decision making. I constantly ask God for wisdom, guidance, and direction. I read the Holy Bible and pray daily. I want to keep fueling my brain up with what God says to do. Is your brain running on empty when it comes to God's priorities? Is it time for you to fuel your brain up with prayer and the Word of God? When was your last fuel up? How often do you get fuel for your brain in this realm? How often do you thank God for the plethora of blessings in your life?

The Oregon Trail immediately starts out with woke radical far left ideology. Is this part of the hundreds of millions of dollars of American tax dollars the Biden Administration gave to video game companies for woke DEI policies? I do not know the answer to that question. I do find it suspicious that this video game would include that right at the beginning. Modern day Native Americans were consulted on The Oregon Trail. Ancestors of pioneers were not consulted.

The Wholesome Direct aka Woke Direct really caused controversy in 2025. They have been slowly getting worse, but 2025 was a year that really caused all kinds of divisiveness. They had all these annoying creators get on the direct with their virtue signaling. They would all talk about how inclusive their communities are. During our live stream FFG Reacts of the event I exposed those liars.

If you go to any of those "inclusive" communities and start quoting important and true Bible verses they will hatefully attack you, moderate you, and most likely ban you. Why? If they claim to be inclusive they will be accepting and tolerant of Christians. The truth is they are not inclusive. The truth is they are not tolerant. They are actually just supporting a different moral and ethics system from the Judeo-Christian belief set. In most regards they are supporting rebellion against God. They are supporting sin. They are supporting things that separate humans from a relationship with God.

There is no such thing as a completely and totally inclusive community. They will discriminate against something and someone. They pick a side in the culture war, and then try and claim they are accepting of everyone. LIARS! You are not accepting of everyone. You are accepting of those that are hateful to Christians and Jews. You are not accepting of those that faithful worship and obey God. You accept rebellion against God. You accept sin that grieves God. Who is more important? Some lowly humans or God? I choose to be obedient to God and expose these frauds and liars.

We had one angry hater loud mouthed activist demand we never talk about politics. With some research it was discovered this same complainer supported others making radical political statements on the political left. So they could not even be honest with their true request. They were in essence saying: "only radical highly divisive political speak from the left is allowed. Everything else must be silenced." Isn't that nice of them? What is next put us in concentration camps because we don't want to join them in rebellion against God? What is odd is people like that always claim to celebrate diversity. Yet when they are faced with real and true diversity they viciously attack it.

We kept as much politics out as often as possible. In fact the 2020 Presidential Election is the first time we ever endorsed a candidate running for office. Family Friendly Gaming started in 2005 in case you wondered. We did not do that for fifteen years. So I can see where some might want us to keep it that way. The problem is the political left is not leaving anyone alone. They are invading video games, sports, and more. They have been in entertainment for a long time. When video game developers are promoting radical far left political ideas we can't keep silent on it when we discuss those products. They opened the door. They put the content out there. We can't hide our lights in this dark world because too many are used to being in darkness and the light shocks them.

The issues families can have with Prehistoric Planet Season 2 are violence, blood, evolution, feathers, fake science, warm blooded and more. Prehistoric Planet Season 2 focuses a lot on certain animals. Prehistoric Planet Season 2 also teaches Old Earth theory as if it is fact. In fact most of what is shared in Prehistoric Planet Season 2 is taught as fact. Why wasn’t true science used and taught in Prehistoric Planet Season 2?

The biggest problem I have with Prehistoric Planet Season 2 is the same as the first season. I listened very carefully to hear: “scientist think,” or “scientists now believe,” used over and over again in Prehistoric Planet Season 2. True science is coming up with a theory, testing the theory, and then either proving it, leaving it as is, or giving up on it. Gravity is a great example. We can all test that gravity works here on Earth by dropping something. Thinking and believing something are faith based not science based. Prehistoric Planet Season 2 does a great disservice to viewers by throwing out wild theories and never proving anything.

I do not believe these dinosaurs were warm blooded or had feathers. I also do not believe the flying ones walked like that. Prehistoric Planet Season 2 is more fantasy than reality to me. I am also someone who is not convinced of Old Earth theory. Too much of the “science” on that is shaky. Prehistoric Planet Season 2 does tell compelling and interesting stories about these animals.

Yolanda had a wonderful question about Prehistoric Planet Season 2. There was a T-Rex that found a giant dead dinosaur and it was eating it. These two flying dinosaurs showed up in Prehistoric Planet Season 2. Why not share? This was Yolanda’s question. Maybe they did share if this happened in the real world. We do not know one way or the other. Prehistoric Planet Season 2 shows they did not share. Who is right?

Cordova, TN; March 3, in the year of our Lord 2025 -- Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family friendly video games is continuing to be the voice of diversity in the gaming media, and media at large. There are some things that I am so sick and tired anymore. I believe in taking care of people. I am so sick and tired of the greed in the video game industry. I am sick and tired of media outlets supporting it while calling themselves liberals. How is it a conservative is the one bring up this issue? How is it that someone on the right is exposing the liars and frauds on the left? Too many of these video game companies brag about being radicals on the far left but they certainly make sure to line their own pockets while fleecing gamers.

I am sick and tired of people in PR bragging about retiring in their mid thirties with multiple millions of dollars in the bank when they told me for years there was no money in the budget to advertise or sponsor. Do they think we believe a word out of their mouths? I know of others in PR and marketing that made so much money they started their own firms to make even more money. Again they tell me there is nothing in the budget to advertise, sponsor, or donate. Then they brag about how many millions they make. The same goes for the video game companies who have no budget for advertisements, sponsorships or donations; but somehow make millions to billions of dollars a year. Facing these facts how can we believe a word they say?

I know of other conservative gaming media outlets that struggle financially. Are we being discriminated against for being Christian? Are we being discriminated against for being conservative? How many liberal gamers are supporting this greed from the video game companies. They are abusing you after all. Don't you care? Don't you stand against their greed? What are you doing to demand better? What are you doing to demand more? Why do I have to be the one getting fed up with this? Why do I have to be the one to make these points? Can't you see this as well? When will you demand better from our industry?

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.

Cordova, TN; April 7, in the year of our Lord 2025 -- Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family friendly video games is continuing to be the voice of diversity in the gaming media, and media at large. I noticed some interesting stories in the recent months. A liberal psychiatrist from Yale told fellow liberals to stay away from conservative family members over the holidays. If you avoid your own family over Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc. how will you ever learn to find any common ground? How does it help to only sit with an echo chamber? Whatever happened to diversity makes us stronger? Liberals are not even trying to pretend to support diversity. They are so obsessed with their own ideas (that have failed again and again) that they will not even listen to the voices of diversity.

I suppose this was predictable. I mean after all the people who are out there burning down towns, and having violent protests are on the political left. How many of them are paid protestors is still something I wonder. Liberals have always been completely fake about supporting diversity. <…> They said honesty and democracy but meant lies and their own power. Since I am a free thinker that gives the benefit of the doubt that almost makes sense.

There is a huge backlash against wokeism. DOGE has been exposing things like when the Biden Administration paid all of these video game companies to include controversial and highly divisive content. <…> They attack men, Christians, conservatives, housewives, white people, wisdom and more. They stopped claiming to support diversity because they have been exposed too many thousands of times. Now they are marching lock, step, and barrel toward trying to force everyone to give them their way. Their tantrums are getting more hilarious and epic with each passing month.

Capcom has been horrible in the past few years. They are a well known offender of families, Christians and conservatives.

The first shock for me in terms of Street Fighter 6 was the freaky host that is acting like a sexual deviant. Why was that needed in this video game? I guess Capcom is trying to be offensive, controversial, and divisive. Then Street Fighter 6 wanted me to log into a Capcom account. Well we had one before the Capcom representatives canceled it because we are obedient to God and refuse to join them in open rebellion. So I only played Street Fighter 6 completely off line.

The issues families can have with Street Fighter 6 are violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, sexual deviancy, spirits, blood, bad language, alcohol, tobacco and more. Street Fighter 6 also has some children as characters. That means there are adults beating up kids in Street Fighter 6. There is also some disturbing images in Street Fighter 6 like the young girl jumping and showing off her underwear in Street Fighter 6. Is Capcom supporting pedophilia?

I had my suspicions about Left Behind Eternal Forces. Boy am I glad we took the time to preview and review it. Nine times out of ten when a Christian claims they are being discriminated against by the worldly they are being accurate, and true. Left Behind Eternal Forces is not a bad video game. Christian haters are going to despise it. Along with exaggerate the problems.

I know officially Left Behind Eternal Forces is put under the RTS (real time strategy) umbrella. Left Behind Eternal Forces is not an RTS to me. It is more of a survival video game. Players are trying to recruit people on the fence. The servants of the anti-Christ are trying to kill them. I made numerous mistakes in Left Behind Eternal Forces getting to close those serving evil. They outnumbered my team, swarmed them, and quickly killed them off. Left Behind Eternal Forces teaches us to avoid the conflict with pure evil people.

Left Behind Eternal Forces has wonderful music, an epic intro, good graphics, great voice acting, prayer, recruitment, live action videos, and a nice tutorial. I do feel like I paid too much for it years ago. Especially with how few levels there are in Left Behind Eternal Forces. I did not find any sandbox mode to play in either. I got errors every time I tried to log into the game's servers. I suspect those were brought down with the attacks Left Behind Games had to endure.

Left Behind Eternal Forces is a hard video game. Stealth is important, especially early on. Evil characters will attack and destroy. I did not see very many violent images though. I am baffled as to why the less than reliable ESRB gave Left Behind Eternal Forces a thirteen and older rating. I have seen E10+ rated video games with more violent content, and other bad content. I suspect discrimination against Christians.

The issues families can have with That Christmas are violence, evolution, language, and more. There are attacks on Christians, the family, racism, traditions, and more in That Christmas. The Three Wise Men are redefined into the Three Wise Women. The climate change lie is regurgitated again and again in That Christmas. Parents are shown as dumb, and the kids really smart in That Christmas.

There is a new kid in town who is very shy. He happens to like this one girl and she does not know he exists. His mother recently got divorced and he rarely sees his father. This young man steps up and helps his mother again and again in That Christmas. Santa Claus comes and gives the good kids presents in That Christmas. There is an older lady who is a teacher that helps a variety of characters in this movie.

I would put That Christmas down as one of the woke radical far leftist movies. Parents have an accident and these kids get to have whatever Christmas they want. They have pizza and candy and play games. The youngest child goes out in the blizzard during hide and seek. She goes after the turkeys that were released because it is cruel for us to eat turkey on Christmas. The radical far left teachings are all over That Christmas.

From almost start to finish I did not like That Christmas. The attacks on families, traditions, morals, Christians, Jesus Christ, and more are something that can make your blood boil. I doubt I will ever watch this movie again. I know I will never look for a physical copy of That Christmas. After I am done with this review I hope I never hear about this movie unless it is to be told what a flop it was.

"Christian" Fantasy

Biblical or Oxymoron?

- The dictionary defines fable as:

"fantasy/fiction/falsehood dependent for effect on strangeness of setting (as other worlds or times) and of characters (as supernatural or unnatural beings); the setting is usually in a non-existent or unreal world, the characters are fanciful or unreal, or the conflict focuses on physical or scientific principles not yet discovered or contrary to present experience."

- Fantasy is especially dangerous for children. While most children in the 1970s knew enough truth to place divination in the forbidden realm of the occult, today's children -- who often feel more comfortable with occult games than Biblical truth -- see nothing wrong with pagan practices. Fantasy movies, like Disney's The Lion King, are good matches for the new earth-centered paradigm or world view that is transforming childrens' views of reality. While God told us to continually communicate truth to our children (Deut. 6:5-7), today's culture trains children to see reality through a global, earth-centered filter. This "new" mental framework distorts truth, stretches the meaning of familiar words, and promotes mystical "insights" that are incompatible with Christianity. Packaged with entertainment, this message usually bypasses rational resistance, desensitizes opened minds, and fuels general acceptance of pagan spirituality (Berit Kjos, "The Spirit Behind The Lion King," 1/95, The Christian Conscience, pp. 32-34).

- Most true Christians would recognize fantasy, such as the movie Star Wars, as being extremely wicked (in this case, sorcery -- "The Force" being equivalent to black magic and white witchcraft). Yet, apparently, when we call it "Christian," this somehow sanctifies what we do with our minds (imaginations), or what we allow our minds to entertain. For example, one can look in any issue of the Christian Book Distributors Fiction Catalog and find the most outrageous fantasy literature, yet it is all dubbed "Christian." The following is taken from the CBD Fiction Catalog, 9/94 premier edition:

" ... now there's no more compromising for those who love Christian fiction, because you are holding the key to your next escape-from-it-all right in the palm of your hand ... CBD's brand new Fiction Catalog? It's filled with the latest and the best refreshing, thrilling, inspiring, wholesome fiction for you and your family" (p. 2).

Wholesome? The following is a sample of that which CBD considers "wholesome." [Much of this type of writing comes from medieval mysticism, which God hates (cf. Deut. 18: 10-12).]:

(a) Millennium's Dawn, by Ed Stewart (p. 25):

"June 2001. The future never seemed brighter for Dr. Evan Rider and his new bride, Shelby, as they prepare to embark on the honeymoon of their dreams. But the dream quickly becomes a nightmare as a long-buried secret shared by three college friends erupts, engulfing the couple in a sinister plot of blackmail, terror, and betrayal."

(b) Till We Have Faces, by C. S. Lewis (p. 34):

"The unlovely Orual, eldest daughter of the King of Glome, becomes so consumed by her mingled love and jealousy of her beautiful half-sister that she makes a complaint to the gods -- and receives an answer she did not expect. This novel, possibly Lewis' best work and the one he considered his own favorite, is his compelling rework of the myth of Cupid and Psyche." [Sound like something you could want your children to read -- about "the gods"?]

(c) The Song of Albion, by Stephen Lawhead (p. 33):

"Wolves prowl the streets of Oxford. A Green Man haunts the Highlands. A breach has been opened between our world and the Celtic Otherworld and anything, anyone, may now enter [sounds similar to Poltergeist, one of the most wicked movies ever produced]. But it's Lewis Gillies, an American graduate student at Oxford, who reluctantly stumbles through. In the savagely beautiful Otherworld, Lewis finds himself caught in an epic struggle between light and darkness -- a struggle that will determine the fate of his own world. Memorably penned with vivid and poetic imagery, Lawhead's breathtaking reworking of Celtic myth will keep you reading long into the night" [no doubt, and right into the DARKNESS! -- the Celtic civilization is the culture from which we have received much of our modern day Halloween practices.]

- "Well," someone might say, "I'm not doing anything wicked, I'm just reading about wickedness." But does this align with godliness? There are four things about fantasy which must be considered:

I. It is Anti-Truth.
II. It Slips Into Reality.
III. It Does Not Fit True Godliness.
IV. A Love for God Will Oppose It.


I. Fantasy Is Anti-Truth

Isaiah 32:6 describes error against the Lord. All lies are against God (1 John 2:21; John 8:44). Satan is the father of lies. Since fantasy is not true, then it is a lie! We have been duped into thinking there is some spiritual gray realm out there in which something can be neither true nor a lie. It's just called fantasy! But fantasy is made up of lies, deceit, and unreality, all wrapped up in a pretty (or sometimes, not so pretty) package.

How about the popular 1994 Disney occult/New Age "children's animation" film, The Lion King, which some consider wholesome "fantasy." One observer wrote this about The Lion King:

"The Lion King packs a powerful New Age symbolism and philosophy. Its theme, the 'Circle of Life' is a variation on the cycles of nature: life, death and rebirth, particularly as it relates to the theory of evolution. The film presents this theme from the perspective of the nature religion, more so than Disney films of the past -- 'We are all connected in the great circle of life.' The accoutrements of shamanistic ritualism is graphically portrayed in the dedication of the baby Simba to the spirits of the earth" (Media Spotlight, Vol. 15, No. 2, p. 3).

Yet, we have others who claim the name of Christ, like James Dobson's Focus on the Family, who would like to encourage you to go and see this film that is filled with abominable contents. (See the 8/15/94 Parental Guidance magazine, which is published by Focus on the Family.) FOTF claims that The Lion King has only a few slight imperfections, otherwise it is "a wholesome, brilliantly animated picture relating the importance of family and responsibility."

A "few slight imperfections"? How about the character Rafiki speaking of the eternal state of life and his connectedness with it when Simba, as an adult lion, asks the question, "You knew my father." Rafiki's answer: "Correction! I know your father." Recalling that his father had once told him that the stars are former kings who look down on the earth and guide its inhabitants, Simba looks up at the stars and cries out to his father, "You said you'd always be with me, but you aren't." Shortly thereafter his father appears to him [spiritism; cf. Deut. 18:10ff] in a cloud and reminds him of his responsibility to assume his rightful place in the circle of life. -- "Look inside yourself, Simba," he says. "You are more than what you have become."

Besides the spiritism in the film, ask yourself a question -- "Do animals talk?" Just on this fantasy alone (animals talking) it is a lie.


II. Fantasy Subtly Slips Into Reality.

It becomes very difficult to separate fantasy from reality, especially in the minds of children. There was an interesting article in The Newhall Signal (newspaper) in light of this. Noting one of the teachings of the popular fantasy games, "Death is usually seen as a temporary state with characters returning 'from beyond' to play again" (7/22/87, The Newhall Signal, "Fantasy Games Linked to Real Deaths," p. 16).

Notice a few more books in the CBD Catalog:

(a) A Skeleton in God's Closet, by Paul L. Maier (p. 25):

"Move over, Indiana Jones! In this novel, Harvard archaeologist Dr. John Weber has just discovered a shocking secret -- Jesus' bones. The evidence [an obvious denial of the resurrection] seems incontestable. When word of the discovery leaks out, pandemonium ensues and millions abandon their Christian faith. But which is the hoax -- the archaeological find or the Resurrection itself?" [How can this be edifying?]

(b) The Guardian, by Jane Hamilton (p. 25):

"A new frontier for Christian fiction! Tabris [a guardian angel] has been given a second chance. As a guardian angel, he was found guilty of committing the one unforgivable act against his human charge and against God. Yet God, with mercy and grace, has forgiven Tabris and given him one more assignment -- one more human being to protect. Why? Find out in this celestial parable that will illuminate the indefinable love God has for his creation -- you, me, even angels. " (Emphasis added.) [See the jump from fantasy to reality -- cf. Heb. 2:16 -- any angel who has ever sinned is a demon. Sinning angels are never forgiven, but doomed eternally!]

(c) Darien: The Guardian Angel of Jesus, by Roger Elwood (p. 22):

"The ultimate adventure with an unforgettable guardian angel! Of all the guardian angels in heaven, God chose only one to protect Christ during His time on earth. He chose Darien. (That's the Darien who questioned God's decision to throw Lucifer from heaven and was sent to earth to witness Lucifer's destruction of the world in the novel Angel Walk.) You can imagine that Darien has quite a tale to tell, protecting God's own son -- and he tells it with poignancy and originality. Through this angel's eyes, you'll go on a fascinating and even disturbing journey from the time of Lucifer's rebellion, to creation, to the miracles of Jesus' birth and life. If the stories of Christ's life have become just matter-of-fact Sunday school lessons to you, then here's the breath of fresh air you need!" [Notice the move from fantasy into reality? How are lies, deceit, and fantasy going to freshen one's love for the Word of God?]

This move from fantasy to reality, by definition, affects one's view of reality. Remember when Close Encounters of the Third Kind came out? People believed it! Fantasy gets people to fantasize about reality. It is a slippery slide into lies unknowingly.
III. Fantasy Does Not Fit True Godliness

What is godliness (1 Tim. 6:3; Prov. 3:5-6; 28:14)? Romans 1:18 teaches that God's wrath is against "ungodliness." And as shown above, fantasy is ungodliness. Diving into fantasy, which, by its very nature is against the Truth, is a denial of God, what He says, and the Truth of His Word. How can a lie be used for evangelism, worship, or anything else godly? By its very nature, fantasy removes the person from the Truth (reality) and moves them into a realm away from God. This ungodliness is well depicted in the CBD Fiction Catalog, where it says on page 2:

"It's been said that reading fiction is one of the best ways to 'escape' from the cares of everyday life. Since the beginning of time, great thinkers and writers (even Jesus himself) have been inspired to create allegories, parables and epics, as well as the good, old-fashioned novel itself. What a tragedy to think we have to settle for fiction that merely grabs our attention, but lacks the values and spiritual insight we could carry with us when we return to the 'real world.'" [Again, the move from fantasy to reality.]

Is this what the Lord wants us to do -- "escape" from reality? No! Fantasy is an attack on the very core of one's being as a follower of Christ! And what about the claim that Jesus' parables and the allegories in Scripture, or figurative speech, are parallel to the use of fantasy? No! The Bible's parables, allegories, and figurative speech are not about fantasy at all. They are all about Truth!


IV. A Love For God Will Oppose Fantasy

God would not have His children take refuge in unreality. A love for God is equal to a love for the Truth (John 14:6). Matthew 22:34-40 teaches to love the Lord with all your mind (imagination). What does the Lord say in Ephesians 4:25? -- Speak the Truth to one another! Do we ever stop speaking the truth and speak fantasy to one another, or write fantasy to one another? Is this how God would have us live? Notice Ephesians 4:29. What's the goal? Build each other up in the TRUTH! (not in fantasy). If a Christian is loving the Lord with all his MIND (imagination), he will be dwelling on truth, reality, His Word, and Him, NOT FAIRY TALES AND FANTASY!

Fantasy typically is filled with evil. What should be the Christian's perspective of evil (Rom. 16:19)? If we love the Lord with all our MINDS, then we will not only avoid taking any pleasure in fantasy, but we will hate it. Because fantasy is anti-reality, it is against godliness, it opens the door to deceit, and is an affront to the very core of your being as a Christian. And what is that? -- Taking refuge in God, not escaping reality (Psalm 73:25-28).


- In 2 Timothy 4:3-4 ("For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths"), the Greek word translated myths means tales, stories, or fables (untrue stories). So what about Pilgrim's Progress and other so-called Christian stories like it?

Pilgrim's Progress (by John Bunyan) is claimed by many to be a good illustration of the truth -- the truth of a Christian's pilgrimage in this life. Some would say, "The Bible uses (a) parables, (b) allegories, (c) figurative language, symbolism, etc., and (d) dreams and visions, so what's wrong with Pilgrim's Progress doing the same? A few examples follow:

(a) Parables are not fables.

Matt. 12: 33-35 (using a real idea, expressing another real idea)
Matt. 13:3-9/18-23 (real/real)
Matt. 13:24-30/13:37-43 (real/real)
Matt. 13:31-32 (real/real)
Matt. 13:33 (real/real)
Matt. 13:44 (real/real)
Matt. 13:45-46 (real/real - He does not fly out of the realm of reality)
Matt. 13:47-50 (real/real)

(b) Allegory is symbolic, not mythical -- Gal. 4:22-31 (real/real)

(c) Figurative is not mythical -- John 6:53-63 -- Jesus does not fly out of the realm of reality. In fact, He uses such explicitly (real) language that people are having a hard time understanding Him. Yet, He explains that He is speaking in a figurative way (John 6:63).

(d) Dreams and Visions are not untrue stories -- Daniel 7:1ff; 8:17 refers to truth; 8:26 ("is true"); 9:21 (writing of Truth). These are not untrue stories (fables). Ezekiel 1 &10 -- these are real creatures!

So what about Pilgrim's Progress? There are serious problems in what that book teaches. For example, Christian leaves his armor behind and eventually his sword for the rest of his journey. This does not at all square with Ephesians 6.

Of course, someone would say, "It just a story." Exactly. It is a story that is supposed to illustrate truth, and when it fails to do this, it falls short and becomes an untrue story (fable), which is not doing a good job (at times) in illustrating truth. No doubt, there are many aspects about the story that are interesting and thought-provoking, but that does not excuse the twisting of truth into a lie. Here are some more problems:

(a) Is it a myth? Yes. "But, it is a 'Christian' myth!" Is this supposed to make it okay? No, it makes it worse! That's what Paul was talking about in 2 Tim. 4:4? Pagan myths? No -- "Christian" myths! That's why it is so dangerous.

(b) Another possible danger with Pilgrim's Progress is that the Christian life could be seen through the eyes of the story rather than solely through the Word of God. Romans says to transform our minds (12:1). Only the Word of God can do that, not "Christian" fantasy. A Christian's affection should be upon God's Word and His truth, not the fables of men. This type of Christian fable can pull our affections away from the Word.

(c) Has the Word of God become so dull, dry, drab, or undesirable to us that we would even think we would need such a book as Pilgrim's Progress to spur us on in the faith?
- A few more Scriptures indicate our concern with "Christian" fantasy:

(a) 2 Peter 1:16 -- We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

(b) Titus 1:14 -- and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject the truth.

(c) 1 Timothy 1:4 -- nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work -- which is by faith.

(d) 1 Timothy 4:7 -- Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.

- Considering the present distress (2 Tim. 3:1), how can fantasy, no matter how supposedly good it may be, be found profitable? We need to concentrate on reality -- the truth of the Word of God -- and leave the fantasizing to those who are perishing (especially in light of the prevailing ignorance of the Word). And, especially when Paul describes the "against the true church" as those who will "be turned aside to fables," we ought to hold fast to the truth -- the Word of God (1 Thess. 5:21).
An Example from a "Christian" College

A recent FrontLine magazine (Vol. 6, No. 4) with a cover theme, "The Christian and the Arts," carried a lead article titled "The God of All Beauty." The article is very disturbing because it lists so many Scripture references [out of context/misapplied], but the author's rationalizations fail to give due consideration to Pauline Epistle truths for this Church Age and the warnings about this world/age. Two other articles in this FrontLine issue are by Donna Lynn Hess of Bob Jones University (BJU), one on fantasy and the other on selecting reading material for children.

The first article refers favorably to C.S. Lewis, a devotee and author of occult fantasy with unbiblical metaphors; yet Hess claims that this kind of fantasy is useful in helping children "develop valuable literary skills" and in developing an understanding of "similar literary elements used in Scripture." In the second article by Hess, she states: "As Christian parents, we recognize the need for choosing books in which the theme is morally sound. But it is just as important to be sure that this theme is artfully expressed"; she also says that it's okay to expose children to stories with themes "antithetical to Christian beliefs" in order to "help inoculate them against the false ideas, attitudes and behaviors these writers promote."

BJU's ShowForth video division ("The video source you can trust.") also markets three video productions of C.S. Lewis' fiction, and a documentary biography of Lewis himself. ShowForth's catalog layout (p. 7), under "Inspirational," lists C.S. Lewis as one of the "Warriors of the Word" along with C.H. Spurgeon. Considering Lewis' many theological errors, it is dangerously deceptive to place him in such august company. A pastor knowledgeable in the unbiblical teachings of Lewis wrote to BJU documenting Lewis's errors. BJU responded with an involved, articulate, but off-the-mark defense for using "fantasy" as a teaching tool.

In the articles in FrontLine, as well in articles sent out by ShowForth, Hess gives an unusually broad description to the term "fantasy," and does not give adequate consideration to the whole counsel of God. "Fantasy" should not be used, as BJU does, to describe the figures of speech and literary techniques found in God's Word. More serious study ought be made of the nature of God, the condemnation of all forms of spiritism throughout Scripture, the recurring theme of sober/sound mind (especially in the New Testament), and the disassociation in the Epistles with "fables" (myths) in presenting God's message.

In these times we live in, we believe pastors and parents must exercise extreme caution regarding the literary use of fantasy. But caution is apparently not in BJU's vocabulary concerning this matter. BJU Press has published Medallion, a popular fantasy reader for elementary age home-schoolers. There are strange similarities between Medallion and two explicitly pagan books -- one a sixth-grade reader for public schools called The Dark is Rising, and a Wiccan manual by Starhawk called The Spiral Dance. In response to a review of Medallion by Berit Kjos, BJU trivializes the similarities, and states, "It appears that what this critique requires of Medallion rules out all fantasy for the Christian. We hold that no story can mix fantasy with the supernatural facts of Scripture without dangerously trivializing Biblical truth by associating scriptural realities with a dream world." [Couldn't have stated the truth more clearly if we had tried!] Contrary to the scholarly opinion of BJU's Literature and Language departments, "Christian" fantasy parallels the occultic literature for children, using similar images, story-lines, symbols, and characters. Literary fantasy, rather than being neutral, has occultic roots. (This paragraph was excerpted and/or adapted from the 10/96, The Christian Conscience, "Pagan Story for Christian Children," pp. 40-42; see page 41 for a detailed comparison of Medallion and The Dark is Rising.)

Paul Bury #fundie #dunning-kruger #crackpot familyfriendlygaming.com

I am absolutely baffled that there are so many people that do not include God in their decision making processes. I suppose they arrogantly think they can figure it all out with their limited knowledge and wisdom. Why wouldn't you want to include God in and with your decision making processes? Who knows more you or God? I think we all know the answer is God. So include Him. It only makes logical sense.

I suspect what is going on is there are people that do not want to hear what the right answer is. I suspect there are people that want to exercise their will by being rebellious to God. By the way we were made to worship and please God. When we reject our role in life then we are being hateful. Yes when that happens people are also being totally and completely rebellious. I suspect there are people that want to do the wrong thing. They do not want to be reminded of what the right thing is. They want to stir up the pot. They want to generate heat. They want to create controversy. Instead of living the way God tells us to live.

I prefer to include God in my life. I prefer to include God in my decision making processes. I prefer to do the right thing. I prefer to exercise my free will being a sweet aroma in God's nose. I prefer to honor God. I prefer to be obedient to God. I was brainwashed into the radical liberal mindset from the education system when I was younger. God freed me from that slavery. God showed me the light. I love that personally. I appreciate that. I feel like I have a debt to pay. I honor that on a daily basis. Am I perfect? Nope.

There is No Justice for Crime Victims if There is No Hell

I don't have to educate you about all the heinous crimes that people sometimes commit against others. I've been horrified in my lifetime from reading the daily news. I could mention literally TENS OF MILLIONS of documented horrible crimes around the world. Albeit, I want to briefly mention one horrific incident in 1993 that still haunts my soul when I think about it, and makes me rejoice (in an imprecatory way) that God made a Hell to punish evildoers. I literally cried a couple years ago when I read about two teenage Caucasian girls in Texas, who on a normal night while walking home from a pool party at a friend's house, were brutally confronted and assaulted by six teenage punks in a gang (one black and five Hispanic). Those ungodly males took turns raping, sodomizing, beating, torturing and eventually murdering the two girls, choking them to death with their own shoelaces. The boys then urinated on the girls, breaking their ribs and kicking their teeth out with steel-toe work boots, and crushing their necks by stomping on them. When the police found the girl's brutalized and naked bodies in the woods four days later, they wept. I only wish those six monsters who hurt those girls could have suffered the same fate!

Every Christian should feel mixed emotions about the fate of such criminals. If you love God, there should be a part of your soul, that hopes they came to saving faith in the truth of the Gospel in Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul, before he was saved (then called Saul), murdered Christians. God Himself has no pleasure in the death of the wicked—Ezekiel 33:11a, “Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live...” Yet, there should as be a part of your soul, as a child of God, that desires to see justice—an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, life for life—that those young men would burn in Hell as punishment for their atrocious crimes! I am grateful for God's plan of redemption; but I am also grateful for the fires of Hell, for those who die in their sins, those who knowingly refuse God's goodness by rejecting the gift of eternal life thought faith in Jesus Christ! So there must be an eternal place of punishment for evildoers to be punished.

Psalms 9:17, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” The preceding Bible verse would make no sense if the word “hell” merely refers to the grave, because then the righteous and wicked go to the SAME PLACE! Obviously, the Bible clearly implies eternal damnation and punishment for the wicked! We are warned that “THE WICKED SHALL BE TURNED INTO HELL,” but “THE RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO LIFE ETERNAL.” Notice the distinct and sharp contrast in the following Bible verse between the RIGHTEOUS (saved) and the WICKED (unsaved). Matthew 25:46, “And these [the wicked] shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:41, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” Carefully notice that the “fire” of Hell is “EVERLASTING,” and also that it was originally intended only for “THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS.” But when Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, he opened the floodgate of “sin and death into the world. Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”

Thus, Hell has been enlarged to accommodate fallen man, with the Devil and demons. Isaiah 5:14, “Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.” The Bible is abundantly clear that the reason why God has enlarged Hell, is to accommodate the masses of Christ-rejecting humanity, who must pay for their own sins in everlasting fire. That is what the Scripture saith! Many people find it difficult to accept the reality of Hell, because they cannot accept the idea that a loving and merciful God could create such a place. But if there is no punishment for violation of God's LAW , then God would not be a righteous (just) God. Being a just God, He will reward the righteous and punish the wicked. Hell is to punish the wicked. There must be a Hell, otherwise Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Wall Street, the thieves behind the Federal Reserve Banking System, Bill and Hillary Clinton, The Bush Family, Henry Kissinger and other monstrous evildoers got away with their crimes against God and humanity! Thank God for a burning Hell to punish the wicked; but thank God even more for the gift of forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ, to those repentant sinners who will receive it by BELIEVING THE GOSPEL (i.e., the GOOD NEWS of Christ crucified on the cross, buried and bodily resurrected the third day).

Anna Rountree #fundie 64.71.77.248

Jesus held me at arm’s length, studying my face. He smiled, turned, and led the way toward the building.

The atmosphere in the valley was red as though the building was catching the light from a distant forest fire. It was eerie. It cast long shadows across the valley.

The shadows traveled up the building until they reached two enormous black marble dragons on top. These dragons were facing each other with their wings uplifted and touching like the cherubim over the mercy seat.

The building was a mockery of the ark of the covenant. It was deathly dark as if it were made from antimatter. The black marble exterior was wet, and the overbearing humidity made it difficult to breathe.

Shadow Warriors

Thousands of soldiers were standing shoulder to shoulder on all four sides of the building. They wore an ancient style of armor whose design I had never seen. These warriors were camped around the building, just as the Levites were instructed to camp around the desert tabernacle. None of them moved when we passed through their numbers, however.

“Why?” I wondered. I glanced down their ranks to see if I could discern the reason for their inaction. The faces within the helmets were shadow. But their eyes tracked us.

I suddenly remembered how the two angels that were sent to rescue Lot had temporarily blinded the men of Sodom. Jesus, I thought, must have rendered these demons inert. They were alert. But they were incapable of action. They held their ranks like clay soldiers buried with early Chinese emperors.

The Approach

After passing through most of the ranks of the soldiers, Jesus approached the building. The structure had the appearance of a gigantic mausoleum. As we drew near, I could see that the black marble dragons were breathing. So were the black marble monkeys that formed a decoration around the top of the building. These leered down at us.

The massive double doors unlatched as we approached. They opened slowly. Each door was of great weight. They pictured satan ’s supposed conquests. They were executed in bronze relief and were similar to the doors of European cathedrals that often depict the life of Christ.

Within

The doors opened outwardly to give us entry to a large, windowless room. The smell within the room was odious. The room, like the valley, seemed lit by distant fires. My eyes traveled up to a heavy raised cornice. It formed a crown around the top of the room. A text was written upon it in an ancient language of wedges and triangles.

Jesus waved His hand, and the lettering changed so that I was able to read the inscription. The text proclaimed satan ’s five “I wills” with which he intended to vault himself above the throne of God and crown himself king of the universe. I shuddered.

Hanging upside down from this cornice were half-female, half-batlike demons—the Lilith, the vampire demons that hunt at night. They were repugnant. I dropped my gaze and saw the reason for the stench in the room. Bat guano.

On Display

Display tables flanked either side of the room. These were covered with what seemed to be black velvet. The objects on display were shining with light from within. The objects were beautiful, not because of exquisite workmanship nor because they were encrusted with jewels. Instead, they seemed to have some beauty bestowed upon them by God. They were His, for His people had used them. Now they sat on display like war mementos. I quickly glanced over the tables in astonishment. This was a trophy room.

Stolen From God

Each article was labeled with a clay marker. The same wedges and triangular-shaped writing was on these markers as was on the cornice. Again, Jesus waved His hand. The language changed so that I could read the labels.

On display were the just measure, Miriam’s tambourine, Bezalel’s renderings for the workers (of the patterns given to Moses on the mount), the widow’s bowl, various musical instruments of ancient design, and on and on. We passed article after article that had been used by God in some extraordinary way and then stolen from Him. I could only suppose that these had been taken into the enemy camp because of the sins of God’s people.

I was heartened, however, by the empty spaces on the tables. The labels showed articles that apparently had been rescued to be used by God’s people again. Goliath’s sword that was used by David was missing. David’s harp had been retrieved. There was an empty space where once a banner had been displayed. As we neared the rear of the trophy room, I saw a white embroidered robe on a black clothes stand. It was luminescent. satan had displayed it by itself, as if it were a prized acquisition.

The Fresco

Beyond this article on the rear wall was a vivid fresco.” Before the fresco burned black candles. The flickering lights from the candles seemed to give the fresco a life of its own.

The fresco began at its base with recounting after recounting of brutal tortures of some of God’s people. Those being tortured still seemed alive. The fresco was like none I had ever seen. It was similar to a hologram. Light from the candles caused the pictures to have progressive action, so that those suffering suffered again, with satan supposedly gaining the victory again and again. Barbarous.

The Throne of Skulls

My eyes traveled up this mountain of slaughter to about one-third of the way to the ceiling. Here the fresco began to depict a mound of skulls. This mound rose to a throne of skulls upon which sat the goat-like legs of a satyr.

The enthroned creature had the torso and arms of a human but the head and horns of a goat. In this goat/man's left hand was held a picture of the world. In his other hand was the location for two keys. The outline of the keys was still there, but the keys of death and of Hades had been removed from his hand.

The fresco vaulted up until it covered the first half of the ceiling like a frightful canopy. It was satan , goatlike, enthroned upon a mountainous pile of human skulls. He was gloating in sinister splendor. As God the Father is enthroned upon the praises of His people, satan is enthroned upon his murderous savageries and sadistic cruelties.

A chill ran through me. Flickering light from the black candles caused satan ’s face to move, seemingly to change before my eyes. His snake-like eyes glared at me.

The Embroidered Robe

Jesus touched my shoulder. I flinched. We began to walk toward the acquisition at the very back—the embroidered robe.

It was fall length with long sleeves. The design of the garment was simple. A man or woman could have worn it. Its richness lay in the embroidered work that was executed in white gold of exceptional purity The embroidery arose from the robe. The pattern was intricate and exceptionally beautiful. As I moved a little before the garment, all the colors within the radiance of the Father seemed to play across its surface.

The weight and thickness of the various gold threads seemed to symbolize attributes of the Lord. The robe reflected these as if they had been woven into the garment.

The Embroidery

I had no idea a garment could communicate that which was of the character of Christ. Still, I wanted to move slightly before the embroidery to ascertain what was woven into the fabric.

I received the impression of “a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” The garment also reflected “bearing with one another” and “forgiving each other.”’ The thread that had the greatest weight and was the most frequently used was “love.”

These were part of the character of Christ that Paul enumerated in Colossians 3:12—14. He had told the body of Christ alive at that time to “put on” this garment. If he had told them to put it on, they must have had it in their possession but were not wearing it. I gathered that sin had eventually allowed the garment to be taken from God’s children. Sad. We had great need of it.

Jesus spoke to me quietly. “The garment is for the soul and heart. It is an inner garment that becomes visible through actions, through decisions that effect unity [oneness in Christ].”

He continued, “I am the new, inner garment—others rather than self. The supreme Other is God [the Father] Himself—His rights, His needs, and His desires before all. I have purchased you for our Father. I have washed you and clothed you with garments of holiness and beauty, garments of salvation and righteousness. Anna, clothe yourself in Me—garments of salvation for the whole person [body, soul, heart, and spirit]. Clothe yourself in Me—attributes of righteousness that are beautiful to God [the Father].”

I turned back to look at the robe. It was exquisite. The Lord’s virtues woven into the garment had brought the body of Christ into “the perfect bond of unity.” Paul had said this. How we needed it now.

He continued, “The embroidered garment is to be worn by those who are the bride. It was handed down in our family. Those who were entering into fuller union with Me wore it. There is none like it. It belongs to our household.”

As I looked at the robe, I realized that to enter into a deeper relationship with Christ meant to enter into a deeper covenant with His body. The two are inseparable.

The Recovery

“Carefully listen to Me,” Jesus said softly. “I want you to remove the garment, then quickly climb onto My back.” Without hesitation He placed His hand on the top of the velvet clothes rack.

I did not have time to think. Instantly I obeyed and began to remove the robe. The more I disengaged the garment, the harder He pressed on the top of the rack. I supposed He was compensating for some weight of glory in it. He continued to press on the top of the rack as I folded the embroidered robe so that it could be carried.

When the garment had been secured, I looked at Jesus. He gave the flicker of a smile, winked at me, and then removed His hand from the rack.

The Escape

Screams, sirens, and alarms of all kinds immediately arose together. All restraints were removed from everything within this realm.

Quickly the Lord became the white Eagle. Nervously I scrambled onto His back.

The vampire bat demons unfolded their huge wings. Their eyes were bloodred. They hissed through their fanged mouths. They were deranged with fury.

The doors to the front of the trophy room began to close. The white Eagle had to fly with His wings perpendicular to the floor to pass through the narrow opening. I tightened my arms and legs around Him, pressing the robe between my flattened body and His back. We passed through the opening like a single unit. With searing screams everything—bats, monkeys, dragons, soldiers—wrenched awake.

It seemed as though everything in the corrupted stratum breathed down upon us in the chase—screeching, squalling, shrieking, a cacophony of blood-curdling sounds raised behind us. They were a frenzied juggernaut.

The marble dragons wrenched free from the top of the building with all the cracking and tearing that accompany a structure being torn apart. The black marble monkeys violently ripped free to join in the hunt. The Lilith and shadow warriors rabidly pursued. Whether hoofed, winged, clawed, flightless, or airborne, they pressed us. They were a murderous horde of frenzy and rage.

Quickly demons from elsewhere in the second heaven joined these in the chase. The whole second heaven sounded like one dangerous, wounded animal. The bone-chilling cries that went up from that place made my blood run cold. Horrific.

I clung to the white Eagle. It was a wild ride. Wild! — but exhilarating. I threw back my head, gulping air and laughing silently. Let them roar. That was all that it was, a roar. A show. I was with Jesus, and Jesus had won the victory! Let them roar!

The issues families can have with Mulan are violence, false gods, spirits, praying to ancestors, cross dressing and more. Mulan is a woman that dresses like a man to serve in the military in the place of her disabled father. Male characters dress and act like females in Mulan later in the movie. Is this movie part of the reason for the massive societal increases in gender dysphoria?

Mulan does have some humorous moments. The scene with the match maker is one that had me rolling. That cricket was not always lucky. Or maybe it used all its luck keeping the grandmother safe walking across the street. Mulan could also be considered part of the war on men. Mulan shows women being oppressed and smarter than men. Men are consistently attacked in Mulan. No wonder I did not want to watch it back in the day.

Mulan is based in China, and she is shown as saving the emperor from the Hun Army. A few of the Huns make it out of the avalanche and Mulan comes and saves the day again. At this point the men follow her as she helps defeat the ruler. Mulan does not look or even feel very realistic to me. I know Disney keeps pushing their radical agenda on families. Even as far back as this movie.

rom time to time I like to expose fake, fraudulent and failed logic in my columns. Have you ever heard anyone say: "I gotta be me." Usually they are referencing some rebellion against God, their elders, parents, and/or some other authority figure. The interesting thing about the people saying they have to be who they are. Notice how they never say they are who God made them to be? Instead they want to attempt to make it look like their personal life style choices are set in stone. There is no changing this. There is no way they will change their minds. There is no way they will accept reality and embrace obedience to God.

The most fascinating thing to a free thinker like myself is what comes next. The rebellious that want everyone to accept who and their choices are demand others change for them. So they gotta be who they think they are. They refuse to accept anyone else being who they actually are. There is always a demand others change for them. Accept their rebellious behavior as if it is a wonderful thing. They are driving off a cliff and they demand you tell them that they are doing a good job driving. The rebellious refuse to accept the diversity of anyone that warns them of the dangers of their life style choices.

You know what this behavior reminds me of? Do you know what this behavior is a lot like? It is like a virus or a disease. It attempts to make everyone conform to their worldly standards. I did some research and found again and again many of these people decide they want nothing to do with the authority figures, elders, and family members that are set over them by God. The only way to spend time with them is give them their way one hundred percent on the topics of their choosing. If you do not then they will take their ball and go home. They will refuse to acknowledge any opinion divergent from their own. Pretty immature and childish if you ask me. It also makes me think some people never learned anything from 'The Emperor's New Clothes' story.

The question arises: Why are Jews the prime promoters of homosexuality?

Surely, the media, Hollywood, the courts, the Lobbies, and Capitol Hill - ALL controlled by Jews - bears this out, that Jews are at the forefront of promoting sexual perversion.

Yes, the Jews wish to destroy Christian morality and its power bloc in the West.

Yes, the Jews wish to feminize Gentile males so as to minimize a backlash against them.

And yes, Jews wish to fragment society via culture wars so as to gain greater dominance.

But Jewry's promotion of homosexuality goes much deeper.

Because the Jew denies the divine life of Christ and seeks to prevent His mission to infuse that divine life into the human experience, the Jew's head is buried in a heap of dung and brings the masses of Gentiles into that dung with him.

The Jew simply cannot bring "life" into the world but instead "death" to the human race, of which, homosexuality is a metaphor and symbol.

"Against nature," is how St Paul describes homosexuality and lesbianism. Thus, the Jew is AGAINST NATURE, of which, Christ came to divinize.

For years I warned liberals about opening all of these different Pandora's boxes. Liberals starting calling media outlets they did not like - 'fake news.' Conservatives exposed the liberal media and their lies again and again and properly assigned them with the fake news mantra. Liberals did not really learn their lesson with that one though. I would think they would acknowledge they should not start something new that would come back to bite them.

Liberals starting being rude, mean, and hateful to people they did not like. Maybe there were people that liberals disagreed with on policy so they were vicious to them. Guess what? Conservatives followed your fine example of being rude, mean, and hateful and liberals acted like they were victims. Why did ya'll start the hateful discord? An intelligent person would realize what you send out in many cases comes right back to you. Be smart about it. Stop starting these things that make everything worse. You do not get special treatment.

Liberals decided to cancel and destroy anyone they disagreed with or deemed not worthy of being supported financially. Conservatives supported those the liberals were trying to cancel and kept those companies going. Now the conservatives have been going after these companies doing outrageous things they disagree with. From Disney to Anheuser Busch these companies are feeling the pain of conservatives refusing to buy their woke products. I expect this will only continue to grow and develop. Again liberals opened this Pandora's box.

I am asking the liberals out there to start thinking about these things before rolling them out. If you do not want it to ever happen to you, then don't do it. Please grow a brain cell and take a note of the history. Liberals complained about elections when Bush and Trump were elected. Conservatives have done the same thing when Biden was elected. Liberals seem to think they will get special treatment and no one will follow their example and apply it those they agree with.

Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family friendly video games is continuing to be the voice of diversity in the gaming media, and media at large. I am baffled by the thin skinned, petty, vindictive, small minded perspective by too many people working at video game companies. The hard work Family Friendly Gaming completed for decades made these companies all this money. Do they advertise? Nope. Do they sponsor? Nope. Do they carry on meaningful conversations? Nope. They demand we be their slave labor and make them more money. They offer nothing, and expect us to work for free to make them even more money.

Too many of this video game companies are rude, hateful, and abrasive. We all know they are self-centered and self-absorbed. They blame us whenever their products fail. They make threats if we do not give them review scores high enough in their warped minds. We have been black listed by multiple companies for being open, honest, transparent, and obedient to God. We have been punished for being Christian. We have been punished for being conservative. We refuse to disobey God to get a reviewable copy here or there. We would rather purchase the games and say what we are going to say anyway. You would be shocked at the venom and hatred we have faced again and again in the video game industry from those that claim to celebrate diversity. We are diverse from them, and they attack us.

Got Questions #fundie gotquestions.org

Question: "Was the Apostle Paul actually a false prophet?"

Answer: The theory that the apostle Paul was a false prophet and not a true follower of Christ is usually put forth by those of the Hebrew roots movement persuasion, among others. They believe Christians should submit to the Old Testament Law, but Paul clearly disagrees with them, proclaiming that Christians are no longer under the Mosaic Law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15), but the Law of Christ (Galatians 6:2), which is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind—and to love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). Rather than submitting to God’s Word, the Hebrew roots movement simply dismisses Paul altogether and claims that Paul was a false apostle and that his writings should not be in the Bible.

But Paul’s apostolic authority has been well documented in Scripture, beginning with his dramatic Damascus Road experience which changed him from a Christ-hating persecutor of Christians to the foremost spokesman for the faith. His astonishing change of heart is one of the clearest indications of his anointing by the Lord Jesus Himself.

Tom Tarrants, once labeled “the most dangerous man in Mississippi,” was one of the top men on the FBI’s most wanted list. Tarrants was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and despised African-Americans and Jews, a people he fully believed were God’s enemies and involved in a communist plot against America. Tarrants was responsible for bombing some 30 synagogues, churches and homes. He was so dangerous that the FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover, sent a special team of FBI agents that were used to infiltrate the Russian KGB down into the American South to locate and apprehend Tarrants. They were successful and took Tarrants into custody after a violent shootout. Tarrants received a 30-year sentence in the Mississippi State Penitentiary.

While in prison, Tarrants one day asked for a Bible and began reading it. He got as far as Matthew 16 and was confronted with Jesus’ words: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?” He couldn’t escape the impact of Christ’s statement and got down on his knees in his cell and asked God to deliver him from his sinful life.

Word of Tarrant’s conversion soon began to spread throughout the prison and ultimately made it all the way back to Hoover, who strongly doubted the story. How could such a true change in such a hardened, evil person be validated?

About 2,000 years ago, another man had nearly the identical problem. When the apostle Paul first came to Jerusalem after his conversion to Christianity, he tried to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him and didn’t believe he was a true convert (Acts 9:26) because of his past persecution of Christians. Today, some people feel the same way about Paul. Occasionally, a charge is made that Paul was a Pharisee who tried to corrupt the teachings of Christ and that his writings should have no place in the Bible. This accusation can be put to rest by examining his conversion experience and his adherence to Christ and His teachings.

Paul’s Persecution of Christianity
Paul first appears in Scripture as a witness to the martyrdom of Stephen: “When they had driven him [Stephen] out of the city, they began stoning him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul" (Acts 7:58). “Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death” (Acts 8:1). The words “hearty agreement” indicate active approval, not just passive consent. Why would Paul agree with the murder of Stephen?

Paul the Pharisee would have immediately recognized the statement Stephen made right before his death: “Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:56). Stephen’s words repeat the claim Christ made at His trial before the high priest (Mark 14:62). Just as Jesus’ claim resulted in Him being accused of blasphemy, so also these words would bring a murderous response from Saul the Pharisee toward Stephen.

In addition, the term “Son of Man” is filled with significance. It is the last time the term is used in the New Testament and it is the only time in the Gospels and Acts when it is not spoken by Jesus. It shows that Jesus is the Messiah, and it speaks of Christ’s position in the end times as the coming King. It also combines two great Messianic passages: Daniel 7:13-14 and Psalm 110:1. Daniel 7:13-14 emphasizes the universal aspect of Jesus’ rule; that He is not simply a Jewish ruler, but also the Savior of the world. Psalm 110:1 presents the Messiah as being at God’s right hand. Besides stressing power and position, it also shows acceptance.

All these things would have infuriated Saul the Pharisee, who at the time did not possess the true knowledge of Christ. But it would not be long before Saul the Pharisee would become Paul the evangelist for Christ.

The Conversion of Paul
In the three versions of Paul’s conversion (Acts 9:1-9, 22:6-11, 26:9-20), there are repeated elements which appear to be central to his mission and commissioning. First, it marked his conversion to Christianity; second, it constituted his call to be a prophet; and third, it served as his commission to be an apostle. These three points may be broken down into the following, more intimate considerations: (1) Paul was specifically chosen, set aside, and prepared by the Lord for the work that he would do; (2) Paul was sent as a witness to not just the Jews, but the Gentiles as well; (3) Paul’s evangelistic mission would encounter rejection and require suffering; (4) Paul would bring light to people who were born into and currently lived in darkness; (5) Paul would preach repentance was required prior to a person’s acceptance into the Christian faith; (6) Paul’s witness would be grounded in space-time history and be based on his Damascus Road experience—what he had personally seen and heard in a real location that would be known to all who lived in Damascus.

Before Gamaliel’s pupil came to a proper assessment of the ministry entrusted to him by God and the death of Jesus, a revolution had to take place in his life and thought. Paul would later say that he was “apprehended” by Jesus (Philippians 3:12) on the road to Damascus, a term that means to make something one’s own or gain control of someone through pursuit. In Acts 9, we clearly see miracles on display in Paul’s conversion, the point of which were to make clear that God is in control and directing all the events, so that Paul will undertake certain tasks God has in mind, something the former Saul would never have had any intention of doing.

Although there are many observations that can be made about Paul’s Damascus Road conversion, there are two key items of interest. First is the fact that Paul’s life would become centered on Christ after his experience. After his encounter with Jesus, Paul’s understanding of the Messiah had been revolutionized, and it was not long before he is proclaiming, “He [Jesus] is the Son of God” (Acts 9:20).

Second, we note that in Paul’s conversion there are no positive antecedents or precursory events that led him from being a zealous opponent to a fervent proponent of Christ. One minute Paul had been an enemy of Jesus, and the next he had become a captive to the Christ he had once persecuted. Paul says, “By the grace of God, I am what I am” (1 Corinthians 15:10), indicating he was transformed by God, became truly spiritual, and he was one whom Christ possessed and was now a Christ-bearer himself.

After the Damascus experience, Paul first went to Arabia, but whether he actually began his missionary work there is unknown. What is more likely is that he earnestly desired a time of quiet recollection. Then after a short stay in Jerusalem, he worked as a missionary in Syria and Cilicia (that is for the most part in Antioch on the Orontes and in his native city of Tarsus) and after that in company with Barnabas in Cyprus, in Pamphylia, Pisidia, and Lycaonia.

The Love of Paul
Paul, the former cold aggressor and legalist, had now become a person who could write of the key attribute that witnessed above everything else in 1 Corinthians 13 – love for God and those around him. The one who was supremely educated in knowledge had come to the point of saying that knowledge devoid of love only makes one arrogant, but love edifies (1 Corinthians 8:1).

The book of Acts and Paul’s letters testify to a tenderness that had come over the apostle for both the unbelieving world and those inside the Church. As to the latter, in his farewell address to the Ephesian believers in Acts 20, he tells them that “night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears” (Acts 20:31). He tells the Galatian believers they are his “little children” (Galatians 4:19). He reminds the Corinthians that whenever they experience pain, he is wounded as well (2 Corinthians 11:29). He speaks of believers in Philippi as “having them in his heart” (Philippians 1:7). He tells the Thessalonian church that he “abounds” in love for them (1 Thessalonians 3:12) and demonstrated that fact by living among them and helping build up a Christian community (cf. 1 Thessalonians 1–2). Repeatedly throughout his writings, Paul reminds his believing readers of his care and love for them.

Paul’s attitude toward unbelievers is one of caring and deep concern as well, with perhaps the clearest example of this being his articulation in the letter to the Romans of the sorrow he felt for his fellow Israelites who had not come to faith in Christ: "I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh” (Romans 9:1-3).

This type of angst exhibited by Paul for unbelievers was also not restricted to his own nationality, but extended to non-Jews as well. As just one example, when he entered Athens, the text in Acts 17:16 makes clear that Paul was both repulsed and “greatly distressed” over the idolatrous situation the city was in. Yet he deeply cared about God’s rightful place as well as the people who were involved in false worship, and he immediately went about trying to engage the pagan unbelievers in discourse about the gospel which had been entrusted to him (Acts 17:17-34). And at the heart of his message was Jesus.

Paul on Jesus
Some try to argue that the picture Paul paints of Jesus in his Epistles does not match the Christ portrayed in the Gospels. Such a position could not be further from the truth. From Paul’s letters, we learn the following of Jesus:

• He had Jewish ancestry
• He was of Davidic descent
• He was born of a virgin
• He lived under the law
• He had brothers
• He had 12 disciples
• He had a brother named James
• He lived in poverty
• He was humble and meek
• He was abused by the Romans
• He was deity
• He taught on the subject of marriage
• He said to love one’s neighbor
• He spoke of His second coming
• He instituted the Lord’s Supper
• He lived a sinless life
• He died on the cross
• The Jews put Him to death
• He was buried
• He was resurrected
• He is now seated at right hand of God

Beyond these facts is Paul’s testimony that he left everything to follow Christ (the true test of a disciple as outlined by Jesus in Luke 14:26-33). Paul writes, “But whatever things [his Jewish background and benefits that he had just listed] were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead" (Philippians 3:7–11).

Paul’s Enemies
Paul’s teachings and proclamation of Jesus were not popular. If the success of an evangelistic mission were to be measured by the amount of opposition, his mission would be regarded as a catastrophic failure. This would be in keeping with Christ’s statement made to Ananias: "For I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake" (Acts 9:16). The book of Acts alone chronicles more than 20 different episodes of rejection and opposition to Paul’s message of salvation. We should also take seriously the litany of opposition and rejection that Paul lays out in 2 Corinthians 11:23-27. In truth, such hostility and dismissal is to be expected, given his audience. A crucified deliverer was to the Greeks an absurd contradiction in terms, just as to Jews a crucified Messiah was a piece of scandalous blasphemy.

Paul’s enemies comprised a trinity. First, there were the spiritual enemies indicated in his writings that he was acutely aware of (e.g. 1 Thessalonians 2:18). Next, there were his already mentioned initial target audience of both Jews and Gentiles, many of whom would mistreat and dismiss him. Lastly came the one that, it could be argued, perhaps caused him the most grief—the early Church itself.

The fact that Paul was seen as strange and questionable, not merely by fellow Jews but also by a number of fellow Jewish Christians, was no doubt hurtful to him. It would be one thing for Paul’s authority and authenticity to be challenged outside the Body of Christ, but inside was a different foe with which he had to wrestle. First Corinthians 9:1-3 is an example: Paul insists to the Church that he was commissioned by Christ (others include Romans 1:5; 1 Corinthians 1:1-2; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Galatians 1:1). Some even believe that 2 Corinthians 11:26 suggests that there was a plot to murder Paul; a plot formed by other Christians.

Such combined opposition—lost humanity, spiritual adversaries, and distrusting brethren—certainly must have caused the apostle to despair at times, with evidence in his writings that he carried out his missionary work with the prospect of martyrdom before his eyes (Philippians 2:17), which ultimately turned out to be true. Paul was beheaded, tradition asserts, under the persecution of Nero near the third milestone on the Ostian Way. Constantine built a small basilica in Paul’s honor by AD 324, which was discovered in 1835 during excavations preceding the erection of the present basilica. On one of the floors was found the inscription PAVLO APOSTOLO MART – “To Paul, apostle and martyr”.

Concluding Thoughts About Paul
So was Paul for real? The evidence from history and from his own writings declares that he was. Paul’s 180 degree turnaround from his Pharisaic life is not disputed by any learned scholar of history, both secular and Christian. The only question is: what caused his about-face? What would cause a very learned Jewish Pharisee to suddenly embrace the very movement he violently opposed and be so committed to it that he would die a martyr’s death?

The answer is contained within Paul’s writings and the book of Acts. In Galatians Paul summarizes his story in this way:

“For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions. But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus. Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.) Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ; but only, they kept hearing, ‘He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy.’ And they were glorifying God because of me" (Galatians 1:13–24).

Paul’s very life testifies to the truthfulness of what happened to him. In that respect, he was very much like Tom Tarrants. A dramatically changed life is hard to argue with. And what finally happened to Tom Tarrants? J. Edgar Hoover wouldn’t believe that Tarrants had actually become a Christian so he sent an FBI agent into the prison disguised as an inmate whose job it was to befriend Tarrants and find out the truth. About a week later, that FBI agent became a Christian and reported back to Hoover that Tarrants indeed was no longer the man he used to be.

A number of people petitioned that Tarrants be released, and eight years into his sentence, Tarrants was paroled and left prison. He went to seminary, earned a doctorate of ministry degree, and went on to serve as president of the C. S. Lewis Institute for 12 years. Currently, he serves as the Institute’s director of ministry.

“You will know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:16) and the fruits of the apostle Paul leave no doubt that he was very real indeed.

The woke supremacists and cancel culture haters have been going on a rampage trying to destroy anything and everything diverse from their myopic perspective. Something dawned on me is that God provides. As we near the seven year anniversary of when Nintendo started being hateful, unprofessional, rude, and nasty to Family Friendly Gaming it dawns on me how God has provided for us. Since that point in time Sony and Microsoft have also black listed Family Friendly Gaming. Other companies like Atlus USA have also shown they discriminate against Christians and conservatives.

Throughout all of it God has continued to provide for our family. Day after day we grow, improve, mature, and hone our craft. We have been able to easily purchase any new game we need to cover whenever we feel like it. We have a pile of brand new video games we have not gotten a chance to play yet. We decide when to get to products. We make that call. If we feel like moving a particular product to the front of the line we do. If we decide to let something sit for months we do that too. It gives us more control over the reviews and previews we run with. We absolutely love looking through a pile of games and see what speaks to us. The same goes for streaming.

We have heard from plenty of ya’ll that stopped buying new video games from these companies based on how they treated us. We appreciate your support so much. It is shocking that the video game companies that discriminate against Christians have no problem taking a hit on their bottom line. They care more about radical far left ideology than they do about making sales of their products. If that is how they feel then so be it. We respect their right to run their companies into the ground. We would prefer that they work with us and include Christians in everybody they claim they are trying to reach with their products. They make their choices and there are consequences for rebelling against God.

I almost threw up after watching the disingenuous Bruce Springsteen Super Bowl LV advertisement. After he spewed all of that divisive hate speech about President Trump he wants us to unify under President Biden. We do not unify because you get your way. We don’t forget all of the vitriol you regurgitated all of those years. We remember all of the hateful names you called us. Where are the apologies? Where are the promises you won’t do it to the next Republican administration? When will you condemn all of the riots that continue to happen thanks to left wing radicals?

If the political left really wants unity then they need to start with compromise. Reactivating the failed policies from the past is not making any concessions. Failing to get rid of the swamp of corruption is not compromise. Failing to listen to diverse voices is not compromise. Shoving radical far leftist policies that are destroying America is not compromise. Joe Biden is not sincere when he says he wants unity. To him unity means we all give him his way, and never say anything contrary to it. He sees no need to compromise as long as he can make America a third world country. His slogan should be MABA – Make America Bad Again. He continues his divisive hate speech day after day. He does not want unity, nor is he making any attempts at it.

All Joe Biden and the Democrats are doing right now is making a lot of patriotic Americans mad. Voter’s remorse is growing in America from independent voters. They did not listen when we tried to educate them to the reality they were being lied to by Joe Biden. They just wanted peace and harmony. Joe Biden and the Democrats want no unity. Their acts and deeds prove that statement to be completely true. Alligator politicians from the swamp of corruption always do this. They say one thing while campaigning and do the exact opposite when they get the power. And yet some of my fellow Americans continue to be fooled by this tactic. When will ya’ll wake up, grow up, and acknowledge reality? Thank you for increasing suffering in America. When will you vote to fix this?

I find it sad that the political left is constantly trying to silence any voice of diversity. They push their cancel culture to any voice of diversity. Why can’t they have spirited debate? Why can’t they celebrate voices of diversity? Why do they want to ruin anyone and everyone who disagrees with them? Whatever happened to science and logic? Whatever happened to civil debate in a polite and professional manner?

I noticed an interesting pattern recently. When something starts trending on social media sites the political left tries to drown it out by hijacking the trending hash tag. I want to see what real and genuine accounts have to say about a topic that is trending. I don’t want to see KPOP people that have nothing to do with the topic. I don’t want to see toxic haters attacking it because they want to silence what they disagree with. The political right does not act this immature. Instead of trying to silencing out something they disagree with the political left should start their own different and/or opposite hash tag and try to make it popular. Why hijack and shout over what they disagree with?

I also noticed the same thing happening with attacks on our Discord server. Every single time we were attacked the same tactics were used. They would try and drown out anything and everything else with their rule breaking (which is on the top of the #introductions board). The exact same tactic of repeating the same thing over and over again drowning out anything and everything else. Even when they were getting warned by the bots there was clean up that had to be done to remove all of the rule breaking. Family Friendly Gaming enforces the rules equally for everyone. Too bad social media sites do not follow the same ideology.

Christians and conservatives treated like third class citizens all over the place. President Biden and his people making inflation skyrocket while they dismantle our energy independence. The Democrats wielding the US Government against their political rivals. The swamp of corruption coming back in force and punishing anyone who believes in freedom. The FBI raiding an ex-president for the same thing Hillary Clinton got away with. Criminals being let back out on the streets to rape and murder even more people. The rule of law being ignored. Invasion at the southern border.

[…]

Remember the pendulum swings back. There will be investigations into the government corruption. The people doing horrible things will face punishment at some point in the future. If they get away with it on Earth they must face God's judgement. I believe in leaving it to God. God will take care of the evil, vile, and wicked. That does not mean we will sit here silently while they try and ruin the world. We will still speak up and speak out. We will do nothing to punish them for their choice to rebel against God. We will encourage them to repent and turn from their evil ways. We will pray for them. We will point them to God.

[…]

Our first citizenship is in the kingdom of Heaven. If God allows evil people to destroy America, and destroy the world then we have to acknowledge that this is not our eternal home. We have hope in Jesus Christ. We have hope in his return. Perspective is very important. Everything in human life is transient. This is just a way station we are in for a short time. Our eternal home is in the place Jesus is preparing for us. I applaud everyone who stands up to the corruption in the government. We have stood up multiple times. We continue to stand up. We face all kinds of hateful attacks for doing so. We will continue to obey God. We refuse to join in rebellion against God. We are on the winning side in the end.

It is appalling the collusion and racketeering going on at Big Tech these days. As a disabled war veteran who has pain every single day of his life I am disgusted at the attacks on freedom of speech (First Amendment) by Big Tech. I am writing this right after Parler got shut down thanks to the evil Amazon, Google, and Apple censorship, collusion and racketeering. I have full confidence that Parler will get back up (hopefully before this article even publishes). I believe Big Tech is breaking the law and should face the legal ramifications of their heinous deeds.

Ultimately we need real and genuine alternatives that embrace Judeo-Christian values. I am talking all the way up and down the technological spectrum and line. From server hosting to the phones we buy. From Internet Service Providers to phone plans. When I look at all the radical far leftist ideology being spewed from too many of these major companies I realize we can’t shop anywhere or buy much of anything without helping enrich those that hate us. I am tired of constantly giving money to companies that want to destroy me and my people. I want conservative alternatives for everything. We partner with a Christian company for our website services, and servers. All churches and Christian ministries should be doing the same thing.

I have written and talked about this topic in the past. I want more choices and I want to choose companies that reflect the morals, ethics, and values that made America great in the first place. I want to go to a grocery store that is not attacking our morals, ethics and values. I want to go to a department store that reflects our morals, ethics and values. As of right now I am denied that choice. I am pleased to see more people waking up to this reality and this truth. Twitter, Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Instagram are showing their true colors. They hate us, and don’t care what we think or say. Taking our business elsewhere is the only thing that will wake them up. Right now we don’t have that option. I hope we get it very soon.

It astounds me that the more we talk about pointing people to God the more the forces of Satan attack us. We have been upgrading a plethora of things here at Family Friendly Gaming as we have been attacked from a variety of angles. Hackers trying to destroy our YouTube channel, email, and more. Haters falsely accusing us of things to authority areas to get us blocked and banned. Do they get joy out of being so evil? How do they sleep at night knowing they are openly serving Satan? Does it make them feel good to try and destroy what others have created and built up?

My reaction to these attacks might surprise you. I feel bad for the people doing these evil, vile, and wicked things. I feel pity and sympathy for those who are not capable of creating anything. I cannot comprehend their desire to destroy and ruin. We fix the damage these evil people create, we shake off the dust from our cloaks as a testament against them and we go right back to doing God’s will for our lives. I am not angry at them. I do not hate them. I want them to turn from their evil, vile, and wicked ways. I want them to embrace the light we are shining. I want them to repent of their evil ways and turn to God. I want them to embrace obedience to God out of their own free will.

If they are expecting some rant and rave about them they failed. This article is the one public response they are receiving. This is more about letting you know the vicious hate filled attacks we experience from those who claim to celebrate and tolerate diversity. They instead lie, steal, and destroy. I set the record straight and expose their evil deeds to the entire world. God will judge them. God will punish them. I will do nothing against them. I am way too busy doing God’s will and making this a better world to live in. I comprehend they fear that. I comprehend these haters are cowards. I understand that their hateful attacks are an attempt to silence us. I understand that these criminals are self-centered, and self-absorbed. I also understand they are openly serving Satan. They hate us because we choose to obey God. Their attacks will not stop us from obeying God.

I went shoe shopping with Noah recently. This is the first time I have gone shoe shopping with him for some time. He wanted to go to the mall. On the third of five stores we went to there was an interesting scene that played out for us. This shoe store was blasting some rap music. I have no clue who the rapper is or if he is even still alive. This rapper kept using the N-WORD over and over again in his song. There were all of these black people in this shoe store. Not one of them was bothered by the song, lyrics, or words. Yet if I started to sing along I would immediately be labelled a racist.

I did not sing along with this song. I noticed others in the store were. They were black and they are allowed to use that kind of language. The same language they tell us over and over again is so offensive to them. They are allowed to use words I am not allowed to us. They are given rights and privileges I am not given. Some of the people in that store were dancing to this song and that word. They were celebrating the word being used. Not one of them complained about hearing that word. Not one had an issue with that kind of language. I came away from the experience pretty confused. You are so offended by it that it makes you want to dance?

I had to ask for Noah to check on shoe sizes at this store. The workers were not very interested in helping us out. They wound up losing a sale. They are probably losing a lot of sales going forward. There were people using racial slurs against white people in a hate filled manner. It is not the kind of a place I want to go back to anytime soon. We finally did find Noah some shoes at a different store that let us self service. Meaning they had the sizes on the wall and we were able to try on the shoes. I left that whole experience pondering the question of those who claim they are so offended by a word they use, celebrate, and enjoying listening to. Is this another lie from the Democrat controlled media?

I was at a local hospital recently and they demanded every single person wear a mask. Even if you have been vaccinated and only have a 5% chance of receiving or transmitting the Chinese COVID-19 virus. Even if you get the Chinese COVID-19 virus you have a 99.98% chance of surviving it. I immediately railed against their ignorance of science. I had not worn a mask in many months. I got vaccinated even though I question if I really needed to that. Plus when you run the numbers I acknowledged I did not really need to get vaccinated. I did and know the numbers are seriously on my side. The science is on my side. There are people and places that ignore reality, numbers and science. Why are they so insistent on masks?

I think masks have become the new blanket for some people. You know Linus from Peanuts right? He had to carry his blanket with him. It was a comfort thing for him. It was a security thing for him. I believe masks are a security blanket for some people. They feel safe and they want to impose that on everyone else. They don’t care about your rights or liberty. They are controlled by fear and have a belief that the masks are keeping them safe. I am writing this article from a waiting room in this hospital wearing a mask because I will be arrested if I don’t. I thought this was the land of the free. I thought we had liberty. I guess I was completely and totally wrong in those thoughts. I promised Yolanda I would not cause trouble otherwise this is a hill I might be willing to die on. Would that finally open some eyes? Would that finally wake up some sheep?

We are definitely in the minority when it comes to viewpoint, perspective and focus. There have been haters throughout the years that thought we must be a joke because we do not go with the radicals on the far left. Those haters had never been exposed to anyone who was diverse from them. We helped educate them, broaden their horizons, and expose their narrow views. There have been plenty within the PR and Marketing field that have embraced the diversity Family Friendly Gaming brings to the video game industry and video game media. On the opposite side of the coin there have been those in video game companies, video game media outlets, PR and Marketing that despise the diversity Family Friendly Gaming brings. They want us gone because we point people to God. They want us gone because we are not part of the bought off gaming media. They want to destroy us because we bring up concepts, thoughts, and ideas that they want to hide or gloss over. I expect this. There have even been readers expressing venomous hatred over the years. The death threats went a bit too far in my opinion. I disagree with a plethora of people in the industry. I don't threaten them because they have a different viewpoint. Live and let live is a concept some people need to embrace going forward. It is astounding how many in the video game industry and video game media are proud of being rebellious, disrespectful, hateful, and mean toward God and His people.

One of the things I noticed about the radical extremist movement to try and redefine all aspects of our lives is they grant preferential treatment to certain groups. In the standard and traditional definition of culture, morals, ethics, words, institutions, history, mental health, and more there already are certain groups that are granted preferential treatment. Do you know who those people are? They are pastors, priests, policemen, mailmen, teachers, soldiers, businessmen, and more. Notice a pattern in that group of people? The radical extremists trying to redefine everything are attacking the majority of those groups. They can’t stay at the top when they are trying to promote different groups of people to the top.

The radical extremists trying to redefine everything have decided those that openly rebel against God and His system are the people to be promoted to preferential treatment. Those that are proud of their sinful lifestyle choices belong above everyone else. Are they trying to get our entire culture struck down by lightning? Thumbing your nose at God is not a wise course of action. Yet they do it and there are plenty that go along to get along. They don’t want to be falsely accused of a hate crime by obeying God. How did America get into this situation? A pastor in Canada was jailed for merely teaching the Holy Bible. How dare he practice his religious freedom! After all it is obvious that pastors in Canada are now lower class citizens than those that are proud of rebellion against God. How much longer until that same thing happens in America?

How long does Family Friendly Gaming have? The radical extremists trying to redefine everything will come after us eventually because we point people to God.

We are seeing more crack down from the political left controlled and run tech sites against what they define as misinformation. In many cases the information being presented is accurate and true. It just goes against the radical far left narratives. The political left controlled and run tech sites are bragging about blocking and banning voices they disagree with. This is leading to more growth on the new tech sites that support free speech, and honest discourse. At the same time it is really scary because none of us knows when they will be next.

The redefiners are going full tilt to redefine anything and everything to go after people they disagree with. The redefiners will redefine anything said and try and get rid of everyone they do not like. If you have any success they will try and have you removed. We have been lied about before on these sites. We have been attacked and had massive success deleted before. The angry, psycho haters who are constantly trying to tear down and destroy do not stop lying, and redefining. They want to destroy just like their father Satan. We continue to stand up and stand firm for what is right. We continue to point people to God and obedience. They will come for us as they have come for others.

I noticed the political left just keeps marching forward lock, step and barrel with their radical agenda. They embrace rebellion against God. They embrace making more and more people miserable. They embrace tearing Americans apart. They embrace constantly moving the goal posts. They embrace hatred, venom, bile, evil, and wickedness. They embrace lies and deceit. They keep moving forward with their agenda.

It is time for those of us who obey God to keep moving forward with true morals, ethics, definitions, and history. It is time for those of us who comprehend that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom to band together to help one another. It is time for those of who honor and revere God to shine even brighter in this darkening world. Satan is on the march. Satan is marshalling his forces to do as much damage and destruction as he can. We can’t just sit by and watch. We can’t do nothing while evil continues to move culture and society farther away from God. We need to stand up, speak up, and show that we believe in doing the right thing. We must band as one in doing what is holy, just, and loving.

I am not all words either. I have already been doing this myself. This goes from seeking out like minded companies and inviting them into our advertising family, to purchase products from fellow believers. I am constantly looking for ways to support brothers and sisters in Christ. My hope and prayer is they will have the same heart and same desire. The more ad revenue we bring in the more fellow Christian and conservative companies we can support. My goal is to grow this on a near daily basis. Those rebelling against God are united and working together. If we don’t unite under God’s flag we will find ourselves being picked off one at a time. This is exactly what the cancel culture has been doing. I strongly encourage every single Christian to support one another. Not just in word but in deed as well.

The issues families can have with Alien Worlds Season 1 are violence, bad language, trusting aliens, and the controversial/highly divisive religious belief of evolution being taught. Technically all of Alien Worlds Season 1 is a sham. I felt like con artists were behind this show. The last episode shows a gentleman that believes there is alien life and we should contact it. He blames science fiction shows for people not wanting to invite aliens more advanced than ourselves here. He actually thinks they would fly all the way out here and want to help us. If he is wrong we get annihilated.

Alien Worlds Season 1 is not only really short but it constantly re-uses video clips over and over again in the same episodes. Netflix is really letting some garbage on their streaming service. Alien Worlds Season 1 is a great example of this. Where is the accountability for the radical brainwashing attempted in Alien Worlds Season 1? I guess that is what we are for. I did my part by watching and reviewing Alien Worlds Season 1.

I remember the backlash and disgust over DC Comics redefining Batwoman as a homosexual when they brought her back into the comics. I also did some research and noticed Batwoman The Complete First Season was disliked by a super majority of the people. The radicals on the far left claimed it was people being hateful to sexual deviants. The truth of the matter is Batwoman The Complete First Season sucks.

Batwoman The Complete First Season takes a C, D, E, or F grade heroine and gives her C, D, E, or F grade villians to fight. Its like a movie that revolves around the Blue Beettle or something. Only niche super hardcore comic book fans will ever be interested. Batwoman does not have broad appeal when she is constantly putting her homosexuality in the face of others and demanding preferential treatment.

The liberal media, Holly Weird, liberal comic books, and other far left institutions all give Batwoman The Complete First Season preferential treatment. The rest of us are going to be real about this show and point out its horrible. The acting and writing make my eyes roll back into my head like I am doing some old school Undertaker shtick. The special effects are barely existant.

The issues families will have with Batwoman The Complete First Season is lack of attire, enticement to lust, blood, violence, bad language, promotes sexual deviancy, anti-male, anti-police, anti-military, anti-football, anti-wealth, multiverse beliefs, and more. Batwoman The Complete First Season hates on Christians and conservatives while lying way too often. One of the lies in Batwoman The Complete First Season is someone gay can't go straight. Reality disagrees with you Batwoman The Complete First Season.

Joe Biden showed his true self and his rebellion against God on his first day as President of the United States. He used hateful rhetoric in his inauguration speech proving he is not trying to unify us as Americans. He continues to divide us by admitting to treating some Americans as third class citizens or criminals for having a difference of opinion. It is obvious he will spit on the United States Constitution if he follows through with the words in his speech. The forked tongue devil claims to want unity while spewing hateful rhetoric and implementing divisive policies.

On day one Joe Biden acted like a king with divisive executive orders. He does not plan on healing us by throwing away the economy, increasing the swamp of DC corruption, and attacking millions of American workers. Joe Biden is obviously returning America to Barrack Obama’s attempts to make America a third world country. Joe Biden obviously hates America, our morals, and ethics. He enacted executive orders showing his true rebellion against God and his word. No wonder he is banned from Communion. America is starting to diminish under Joe Biden already. Why is Joe Biden implementing failed policies from the past? Didn't he learn from those past failures?

I expect a new terrorist attack on American soil in the next couple of years thanks to Joe Biden doing everything possible to make us less safe. I love how he hides behind guards and walls, but does not think the rest of us need the same protection. We will lose all kinds of good jobs thanks to that highly divisive and controversial albatross called the Paris Climate Accord. Discrimination will rise against Christians and white people under a Biden administration. The economy will tank, and there will be all kinds of suffering. Joe Biden plans on throwing all kinds of money at Americans which means our taxes will increase. We will lose more money in the long run and we will see even more government wasteful spending. Lord willing we will survive this as a country. We have survived rebellious leaders before.

Recently there was a humorous exchange where I exposed someone emailing me as a complete and total liar. They claimed to be mad at Family Friendly Gaming based on lies from some toxic hater website and that they were a Christian. I quoted multiple verses and their vain attempt to twist the truth was truly astounding. One of their premises is you must respond to the lies or you acknowledge them as truth. How messed up is that?

[…]

To even want to respond to a site spewing venom, lies, and hatred about Family Friendly Gaming I would first need to find them credible. I would need to have some respect for them and what they are doing. We continue to build up and improve the lives of millions here at Family Friendly Gaming. This hater website is trying to tear down because they are not capable of building up. We show our tolerance of diversity by ignoring them. We are not sending them law suits for their slanderous libel. We are not attacking them on a routine basis. We are living and let live. Maybe those cancel culture moral guardians will learn from our adult example. Mic Drop.

I am always analyzing things and trying to comprehend how certain aspects of the future will play out. I often wondered how the Anti-Christ will retain power. From what we know in the Holy Bible the Anti-Christ will rule the entire world. How could that happen with a media full of investigative journalists? What about opposition party media like talk radio, YouTubers and other social media websites?

What we saw with the lying liberal fake news media fawning over President Obama, and now fawning over Joe Biden really shows us how it will work with the Anti-Christ. The media is in the bag for those people, and will be for the Anti-Christ. They will hide any negative news and only report on things that make their guy look good. What we saw with Amazon illegally dumping Parler from the servers shows us what will happen with any place that allows any voice of diversity. Twitter banning President Trump shows the abuse by Big Tech when he clearly called for peaceful only protests. CEO’s are making sure to fire anyone who was at the mostly peaceful Trump speech in DC. The poor lady attacked and hit in the face was fired for no legal or reasonable reason.

It is blatantly obvious that these same tactics will be used to protect and safe guard the Anti-Christ when he rises to power. The lying liberal fake news media hid the reality of violence at the BLM riots. Big Tech followed their lead and faithfully followed. Anyone who tried to get the truth out was banned, blocked, and removed. The exact same tactic will be used in support of the Anti-Christ. I never thought I would see the day where the media would be so corrupted that they no longer allow voices of diversity. Yet that is right where we are. They will ruin anyone who does not regurgitate their lies. We are now one step closer to the Anti-Christ rising to power.

I understand we are in dark times right now in America. There are so many problems and issues we are facing. From a failing swamp of corruption leadership in the White House to liars in the Democrat controlled media outlets. From the Chinese virus pandemic to seeing the White House implement failed policies from the past. From wasteful government spending and pork to people not being allowed to work. Racism, sexism, and breeder phobia are on the rise and marching proudly in the streets. Discrimination and persecution against Christians is at an all time high in America.

This world is not our permanent home. We belong to the Kingdom of Heaven. We belong to God. Our focus should always be on Him. We should acknowledge that the Prince of Lies runs rampant on this planet. Satan is causing as much division, destruction, and rebellion that he can. When our focus becomes on God and not all of the evils of this world then all of the problems feel lighter. God is where our hope lies. God is where I joy comes from. You can see all kinds of miserable people who do not have God with them. The closer we draw to God the happier we are. That is my personal experience, and I know plenty of others that share the same experience.

I know there are good times ahead for us. America is in dark times right now. The dawn will come and things will get better. Hold on a little bit longer. Have faith and hope that tomorrow will come and it will get better. There are many horrible things that happen to us in life. There are so many blessings that come out of bad things that happen to us. At times we may not realize or recognize how things can get better. Then before you know it there you are surrounded by blessings. Please keep your chin up. Please find time to smile, and be pleasant to others. The hope we have in Jesus Christ is contagious. Others want what we have more than ever before.

I completely understand the masses leaving professional sports in terms of viewership based upon the extreme radical political left propaganda and lies being spewed over and over again. I stopped watching some channels because of this myself. Many of us expect none of that garbage to be constantly spewed over and over again.

I found myself extremely fascinated by Tim Tebow coming back to football. I wish him all of the success in the world on the Jacksonville Jaguars. He can’t make them any worse than they were last year. I noticed something from the super majority of radical far leftist sports media talking heads. These people were being very negative and judgmental about Tim Tebow. Their attacks ranged from claiming he only got this shot because of his race, to he did not deserve a shot in the NFL. Did I miss something? Does the judgemental sports media get to decide who does and does not get hired? When did this happen? When did they become the rulers over sports? I never consented to give them that power and authority. Did you?

There have been plenty of complaints about discrimination against Christians in sports, media, and entertainment. We have experienced that discrimination ourselves here at Family Friendly Gaming. In my professional opinion the hatefulness from the radical far leftists in sports media against Tim Tebow is because they hate Christians.

We have to have a thick skin dealing with troublemakers, trolls, haters, and cancel culture psychos. There are too many that like to pretzel twist thing in some of the most vile, and wicked ways. I suppose since they are evil in their hearts they want to attempt to make everyone else in the world just like them. This is obviously why they attack Family Friendly Gaming. We are a beacon of light in a very dark industry. We stand up for truth, justice and the American way. The haters don’t want any of that to even exist in our world.

I noticed recently a lack of logic from the troublemaking trolls. Their comments get deleted, and they get put in timeout or blocked on the channels they attempt to cause trouble. Why even do it? What is the point of wasting their time? Don’t they have better things to do? If they are trying to illicit an angry response they fail there as well. What is the point of their attacks? Are they trying to get others to rise up against us? They fail at that as well. Are they attempting to waste our and everyone else’s time so they can have the spotlight on them? They get that for a few seconds and then it’s gone forever. Ultimately I see no logic from their deeds. They are just being wasteful while being hateful and disrespectful.

Do they find it funny trying to spread their ugliness and venom? Ultimately they fail at that, so why do it in the first place? Are they trying to find the barriers that are clearly written down? Are they seeing if they can get preferential treatment and get away with breaking the rules? I ask all these questions because as I analyze it I find no logic behind it. The only conclusion I can come to is they are so filled with hatred that they want to attempt to destroy anything good, honourable, and just. They are in such misery that they want to force everyone into the mud with them. They can’t handle others being happy, and want to destroy that. Yet again if that is their goal they fail at that as well.

Some angry psycho haters attack Family Friendly Gaming, me, and or my mission or family. They probably have no idea how much that powers me up. It charges me up. I am so empowered when the angry psycho haters attack us for being obedient to God. They must think their threats, and hatred will make us cower and follow them in their disobedient to God ways. Instead it makes me feel wonderful. I know that I am getting under the devil's skin because he sent his minions to try and force us into disobedience against God. We struck a nerve, and hit a chord.

The Holy Bible is clear that when we faithfully obey God we will face persecution. Whether it is some radical activist or someone high up in a video game company, we accept the reality that we are storing up treasures in heaven while they are storing up pain and suffering in hell. I would prefer they do the right thing. I would prefer they repent and turn from their evil ways. I would prefer they freely choose to be obedient to God. Their threats, and discrimination do not stop us from being obedient to God. The opposite happens. We stand up even more for God. Their attacks backfire and only make them look bad.
