Are You Ready To Meet God?

Proverbs 27:1, “Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.”

There was a very sad accident which happened in Colorado Springs in 2009. An 18-year old woman, Whitney Hendrickson, was slowly burned to death in a fiery accident, which involved an out-of-control vehicle that struck hers as she was fueling it.

I have often wished I had been there that horrible morning. Without hesitation, I would have rammed her vehicle with mine to free her. Or I would have jacked up the vehicle with my jack and pushed the vehicle and jack over away from the pump. I would have done something! Damn the torpedoes! Even dousing her with water from a hose until the fire department arrived could have saved her life. There were evidently no men present. A man takes action!

The poor girl was pinned between the gas pump and the burning minivan. As she saw the flames moving toward her, she cried out for help, saying “Help me! Help me! I'm going to die.” Sadly, there was no one to save her. Life is so short. She had no idea when she woke up that morning that it would be her last day on earth. My deepest sympathies goes out to that young woman's family. I am still reminded of Whitney from time to time, 17 years later.

March 17, 2009 - A Colorado Springs convenience store gasoline pump caught fire and exploded, killing a woman.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado — A convenience store gasoline pump caught fire and exploded Tuesday, killing a woman and injuring at least one other person, police said.

Witnesses told The Gazette newspaper the pump caught fire after hit was hit by a pickup that had in turn been struck by an SUV. Police said the incident was under investigation.

The woman was pumping gas when the fire erupted, and she was trapped between the pump and a minivan, witnesses said.

"She was standing there screaming 'Help me! Help me! I'm going to die,"' Greg Alderman told The Gazette.

Police Lt. Dave Whitlock identified the woman who was killed as 18-year-old Whitney Hendrickson of Colorado Springs.

The SUV driver, 29-year-old Kelli Renae McKay of Colorado Springs, was treated at Memorial Hospital for bruises. She was cited for suspicion of careless driving involving a death, a misdemeanor, Whitlock said.

A passenger in the minivan was unharmed as was the driver of the pickup.

Alderman, who works across the street from the 7-Eleven store where the explosion occurred, said he tried to get to the woman but the heat was too intense.

Michael Horvat, who also works across the street, said he ran to the store with a fire extinguisher but an off-duty firefighter yelled at him to back off. Just then the pump exploded.

"She was frozen in there, between the gas pumps and her car," Horvat said. "She was holding her face. Flames were all around her. She never got out."

I wrote this article because this accident is a clear reminder to all of us that life is predictably UNPREDICTABLE. We have a tendency to take so many things for granted in this life, including life itself.

Consider this poor woman who lost her life. Any hope of having a future husband or children or grandchildren, any hope of ever hearing those first words “Mama” or “I wuv you mommy,” any hope of watching her children graduate from school, or of receiving a big hug from one of her own children, is now gone forever. How sad. How tragic!

This is why I get so peeved at our government leaders for needlessly sending our children to die on foreign soil for agendas that have absolutely nothing to do with America's freedom. Alan Greenspan, who headed the Federal Reserve Board for 19 years, stated that the Iraqi War is mostly about stealing their oil. That's not a good enough reason to forfeit our children's lives. Many parents will never be grandparents because their child died in Iraqi for the New World Order. And if that's not bad enough, President Bush Jokes about War In Iraq! It is all so evil. Just remember, Obama, Bush and the Clintons will all spend this coming Christmas with their children. If your pastor supported the War in Iraq, you need to find a much better church.

May we keep in mind the untimely death of this unfortunate young woman, and numerous others we read about every day in the news, so that we may redeem the time, preparing to meet our God and Creator. Life is what happens to us while we're making big plans. Life has its disappointments, heartaches and times of sorrow for everyone—some more than others—but God is still on His throne in Heaven and now is the time to get right with God. Friend, do you know Jesus as your personal Savior? Time on earth is running out for everyone.

The Reality Of Sin, Righteousness, Judgment And Hell

After I read this tragic story, I couldn't help but think of the Scriptures and the BILLIONS of unbelievers that are headed for the Lake of Fire in their sins. Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

And again in 2nd Thessalonians 1:8 we are warned, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” I don't know if this young woman was saved or unsaved, and I make no statement concerning that. I certainly hope with all my heart that she's enjoying Heaven now with the saints.

What caught my attention mostly was the fact that this young women saw death approaching. She saw the fires moving closer and closer. Fear overwhelmed her, as it would anyone. How tragic that multitudes of people in the world today refuse to see the fires closing in around them! They are blind to the reality of sin, judgment and Hell fire! Oh, that men would hear and believe the Word of God, repenting toward God for salvation.

Jesus taught in Matthew 24:37-38 that the people before the flood were eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage (going from one failed marriage to another). Jesus said that it would be the same way in the Last Days. We are living in those times today (2nd Timothy 3:1-7). People today are not listening to God. This is why we have a city nicknamed “Sin City” (Las Vegas), and abortion is legal, and Salem in Massachusetts prides themselves as the “City of Witches,” and lewd internet smut is a legal $50 billion per year business, and homosexuals are getting married and adopting children, and America's legal system is extremely corrupt and oppressive, and idolatry is commonplace, and our churches preach another gospel from a false bible perversion. Woe unto America! We are a spiritual sick and diseased nation.

Jesus said that when the flood finally came, THEY KNEW NOT what had happened until it was too late. Not one person heeded Noah's preaching of the imputed righteousness that is found only in Christ. Only Noah and his immediate family boarded the ark. Noah preached for 120 long years, but not one person obeyed the Gospel to believe it; not one person got saved; not one sinner escaped God's wrath when judgment came. And after perishing in the flood they sadly went to burn in Hell forever. Psalm 9:17, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”

Tragically, preachers no longer cry aloud against sin, no longer warn men of the coming judgment of an angry God, and no longer stress the awfulness of eternal punishment for all Christ-rejecters in the fires of Hell. Every mainstream so-called “Christian author,” such as Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, Max Lucado, et cetera, spend 99% of the time AVOIDING the unpleasant and offensive topics of sin, judgment, God's wrath, hellfire and eternal punishment. Yet, the great need of our day is to hear these topics preached loud and long so that men may fear God and come to repentance.

All of the popular televangelists today are a bunch of greedy fakes! Beware of the minister who focuses on health, wealth and prosperity. Beware of any professed “Christian” who wants to sell you something; but never warns of the coming judgment in hellfire, never exposes the awfulness of sin, never talks about winning souls to Jesus Christ and never talks about God's wrath upon the wicked. America's great need of the hour is preaching preachers!

The tragic accident in Colorado Springs could have happened to anyone. It was horrific to say the least. Burned alive! Proverb 27:1, “Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” The important question is, are you ready to meet God? Hebrews 10:31, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

Luke 13:5, “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent (change your mind to get born again), ye shall all likewise perish.” —Jesus Christ

Just Decide Once And For All That God Is Good

Psalms 145:9, “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.”

1st Corinthians 1:9, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”

1st Peter 5:7, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

I decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to put God on trial for the problems and loneliness in my life after my wife cruelly abandoned me in 2006. God didn't do that to me! I decided that I am not going to place God on trial every time bad things happen to me, every time some wicked pastor kicks me out of church, again. God didn't do that to me!

The $64,000 question dear reader is: Do you believe that the King James Bible is inspired by God? If you do, then you must concede that God is good, faithful and that He cares. When I get down on myself and frustrated with life, which we all do at times if we're honest, I always remember that I decided long ago that God is good, faithful and that He cares. I refuse to place God on trial in my mind.

I'll be the first to admit that God never seems to answer my prayers. I told the LORD years ago that I would always tell the truth. I won't cover for God. I am not saying that God has never answered any of my prayers. I am saying that it “seems” that God never does. There's a big difference! I read in a book something that Dr. Curtis Hutson (1934-1995) said which I have never forgotten. He said that if we could see all that God sees, we would never again question why the LORD answers our prayers the way that He does. I agree with that!

The Holy Bible gives us a clue from Jesus' Words in Luke 18:1, “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” And then Jesus tells the parable of The Unjust Judge who ignored the widow because he simply didn't care. But God ignores our prayers because He does care, because our IMPORTUNITY pleases God. Faith pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). Importunity requires a greater faith!

Dear reader, just settle it once and for all that God is good, faithful and He cares.

We Should All Mark And Avoid Pastor Steven Anderson

1st Timothy 3:4-7, “One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.”

Kindly said, based on our text passage of Scripture, Steven L. Anderson has no business being a church pastor. His oldest four children in recent years have all conspired against him publicly to destroy his marriage, home and ministry. You can find hundreds of articles and videos on social media in this regard. I am not attacking Steven Anderson, he has brought this upon himself by his viscous anger, hot temper, hatred of sinners and woeful lack of God's love.

The Bible emphasizes that pastors will be judged more harshly than others, highlighting the seriousness of their role and the potential for abuse of authority. It is important to seek guidance from Scripture to understand the responsibilities and standards expected of church leaders. Sadly, Pastor Anderson has flagrantly ignored the Word of God, doing his own thing.

I made this very important video, which was difficult for me to obtain from Rumble. I had to download OBS Studio (a free opensource program) to record my computer screen, and then I was able to use Corel Visual Studio software that I bought to remove the commercial advertisements from the 30 minute video, but I got it to preserve it. Praise God!

Pastor Roger Jimenez Exposes Steven Anderson

In this heartfelt video, Pastor Roger Jimenez tells his side of the story, to provide context for all the hateful slander hurled against him by Pastor Anderson, which truthful side Steven Anderson doesn't want anyone to see, because it exposes him for the unloving angry man that he truly is; not the caring, compassionate and loving pastor that he refuses to become.

As Baptist pastors, Steven Anderson and Roger Jimenez are both from Sacramento, California. They were best of friends for over 20 years, both personally and ministerially. Yet, as Roger painfully explains in this eye opening video, Steven cruelly threw him under the bus for not taking sides with him against his own family.

Steven pressured Roger to make a malicious video to dox his older brother Clint Anderson, whom Steven accused of kidnapping his daughter. Doxing is the act of publicly providing personally identifiable information about an individual or organization, usually via the internet and without their consent, and or with the intention of harassing or causing distress to the victim. That is exactly what Steven Anderson did to his brother and sister-in-law in South Carolina. I don't blame Pastor Jimenez for refusing to be a part of Anderson's vengeful hatred and vindictive plot to dox his brother. I am certainly not the first person to humbly think that Steven Anderson seriously needs psychiatric help for his angry, abusive and hateful nature.

Pastor Anderson went as far as to accuse his own older brother Clint of having perverse sexual desires for his own niece. Steven Anderson is not the kind of individual that I would ever want to be associated with—a man full of hubris and bitter anger who hates and attacks his own family and friends. I did not write this article to be mean or to attack anyone, God knows my heart. I recommend for everyone to steer clear of the New IFB entirely. In the past I have reluctantly supported Pastor Anderson and the New IFB, but I cannot do so any longer. Their hatred for sinners, anger and abusive ways have done much damage to the cause of Jesus Christ.

Kindly said, I think Steven Anderson is a disgrace as a man of God, and he never should have became a pastor. Pastor Jimenez nailed it in his video, saying that "there is no love in the Anderson home." Steven has never accepted responsibility for his abusive and shameful behavior. He never apologizes to the people whom he hurts. Kindly said, he is a hateful individual woefully lacking in God's love. I want no part of that anymore!!!

Ungodly toxic pastors like Steven Anderson need to be exposed, because a lot of people are confused if he is a man of God or a phony. He's a phony! Since the pastor is big on soulwinning, that confuses a lot of people, so they reluctantly support him and overlook his flaws and deliberate disobedience to the Holy Bible. Steven Anderson isn't just a flawed human being, he is intentionally wresting the inspired Word of God to justify hating sinners. 

The fact that his four oldest children are trying to undermine and destroy his name, marriage and ministry speaks volumes. Those kids are hurting. And for Steven to arrogantly and cold-heartedly say that if he could go back in a time-machine that he wouldn't change a thing regarding how he raised his children is shocking! If what he says is true, that means his kids would still hate him, and there is something VERY wrong with that poor attitude.

You'd think at a minimum, as Pastor Jimenez rightly says in his video, that Pastor Anderson would have at least expressed having a broken heart publicly, and to reaffirm his love for his four oldest children. He hasn't done that! Instead, he has preached a series of sermons from the Old Testament about stoning rebellious teenagers. That is unreal. Steven is an extremely proud individual, who is above reproach in his own eyes. Only God can break him one day.

Anderson says he didn't do anything wrong. Okay, then why are his four oldest kids so angry and hellbent on destroying him? They're not angry for no reason! There is no brokenness in Steven Anderson. There is no love whatsoever for his four oldest children. He has removed all of their photos from social media, disowning them from the family. I haven't heard Anderson once say publicly that he loves his kids. Clearly he doesn't.

Kindly said, Steven Anderson is a poster boy for religious hatred. He shamefully represents everything that a pastor ought not be—haughty, proud, arrogant, full of hubris and bitterness toward anyone who challenges his power and control. What he did to attack, undermine and destroy his so-called "friend" Pastor Roger Jimenez is disgusting, evil and wrong. For two long miserable years (2024-2026), Pastor Anderson preached a few dozen sermons all aimed at ruining the reputation and ministry of Pastor Jimenez. He succeeded (Proverbs 11:9). Pastor Anderson had a meeting and gave talking points to other New IFB pastors who all turned against Pastor Jimenez, railing on him. How is that not cultish?

On January 17, 2026, Pastor Jimenez sadly resigned as pastor of Verity Baptist Church in Sacramento, over a personal undisclosed moral indiscretion. That wasn't good enough for Steven Anderson. He shameful preached umpteen additional sermons attacking the fallen pastor, demanding to know what the undisclosed moral infraction was, so he could further condemn and utterly attack and destroy his best "friend" of over 20 years.

Kindly said, Steven Anderson is a hateful MONSTER!!! With a fake friend like him, you don't need any enemies! God pity that wicked pastor. Being imperfect is one thing, but wresting the Bible to justify those imperfections is another thing entirely. Pastor Anderson has twisted the Holy Bible around to justify hating unrepentant sinners, hating his own family, and hating preachers like me who expose him for the religious phony that he shamefully is.

Please know that I did not post this video and these comments to be mean, nor to attack Pastor Anderson; but rather, to hopefully wake up some of his blinded followers in the New IFB who pander to him, empowering him to continue hurting people and blaspheming the name of Jesus Christ. Anderson's vehement hatred of the LGBTQ+ community for whom Christ died on Calvary's cross is inexcusable. God is love! Christ died for all men, even for the vilest of evil sinners (Romans 5;6-9). Jude 1:22 teaches for God's children to have compassion on sinners, so that we can make a difference for Christ.

God desires for all men to repent of unbelief to be saved (2nd Peter 3;9). The Lord has no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 33;11). But Pastor Anderson wickedly praised the murder of 49 people in 2016 at the Pulse gay nightclub massacre in Orlando, Florida. No genuine man of God would have rejoiced about that tragedy. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Steven Anderson's preaching goes totally contradictory to the inspired Holy Bible, which is why we should all be wise to mark and avoid him and his cult of followers.

I love you all unconditionally with God's love, whosever you may be. Everybody is welcome at my ministry. I just want to be a blessing to as many people as I can for Jesus Christ. If you're looking for a big sinner, you've found the biggest one right here. I am just a sinner saved by God's grace. Thank you for reading my ministry blog. To God be all the glory.

Should Public Schools Remove Filthy Books?

Proverbs 29:27, “An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.”

Someone asked me if I think the state of Florida is right to remove questionable books that promote sympathy for homosexuals and other liberal agendas from public schools. Yes, absolutely! I love what U.S. President John Adams said:

​“We have not government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” —U.S. President John Adams

It is ungodly and insane for any liberal nutcase to even suggest that our founding fathers intended for the U.S. Constitution to grant the right to homosexuals to push LGBTQ literature upon impressionable children. The government ought not even be in the education business! Parents in local communities should either teach their children at home, or organize local schools in each town. It has never been the state's or federal government's job to get into the education business. God never intended for women to pursue careers and leave off motherhood. The Bible calls career woman "turned aside after Satan" in 1st Timothy 5:14-15. The $64,000 question is do you fear God?

Our ungodly government is so hypocritical. While they claim it infringes on atheist children's rights to teach biblical creation, those same wicked liars will force sympathy for the homosexual agenda upon children. The Bible sums up the real issue in Proverbs 29:27, “An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.” Liberal unsaved queer-loving wicked sinners will NEVER live in harmony with God-fearing, sin-hating, holy living, truth-loving, Christians. These two groups will never harmonize! Each group is trying to control what is taught and promoted in public schools to our children. It's a never-ending war between good and evil.

Just as the U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights doesn't grant anyone the legal "right" to yell "fire" in a crowded theater when there is no fire, neither does anyone have a legal right to corrupt children with wickedness. And that is really the core issue, whether or not homosexuality is a sin. The inspired Holy Bible says it is (Leviticus 20:13), but wicked perverts like Elton John say that sodomy is perfectly okay. Elton has publicly said that all organized religion should be legally banned. Elton hates Christianity, hates the Bible, hates Jesus and hates the Church, because they won't approve of his homosexual deathstyle (Proverbs 29:27).

When children go to school, they should be taught how to read and write, math, social studies and science, nothing else. It's not the school's job to teach sex education and pass out free condoms. It's not the school's job to teach Critical Race Theory crap, blaming white people for the woes of blacks today. It's not the school's job to reshape history, rectifies past social injustices or try to recruit children to support the LGBTQ garbage agenda. Public schools are of the Devil. Since 1963 prayer and Bible reading have been banned from the schools, and the dire consequences have been costly. Look at these shocking charts.

Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001)...

Satan's Bid For Your Child

Dr. Jack Hyles got into a heated argument with a local high school teacher in Hammond, Indiana, in the 1960's when the school required his son to read "Catcher In The Rye," which book is full of street language, sexual gestures and swearing.

The book is as wicked as the Devil himself—full of rebellion, sexual immorality and filth. No normal decent adult would want a teenager to read such trashy literature. Let's face it, there are some horrible people in society. Police only catch a small fraction of sexual predators who prey upon children in society. The very prosecutor John David Atchison who prosecuted Evangelist Kent Hovind in 2007 was arrested in Detroit, Michigan, when he flew to have sex with a 5-year-old little girl. The prosecutor had a doll, jar of Vaseline and other items in his possession when he got off the plane. A short time later he commit suicide in prison in 2007. Truth is stranger than fiction. We are all miserable needy sinners!

Perverts, sickos and unbelievably wicked people surround us in society. You never know what mass-murderer, rapist, kidnapper, lawyer or neo-evangelical pastor might be standing next to you in the checkout line at a local grocery store. No one is safe! Again, I think John Adams nailed it...

“We have not government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” —U.S. President John Adams

When wicked liberals, kooks, communists, abortionists, homosexuals and leftists try to subvert, skirt and wrest the U.S. Constitution, it simply doesn't work anymore to preserve freedom. It's the same with God's Word. For someone with a pure heart who sincerely wants to please God, the Bible works for them; but if someone is wicked and truly doesn't want to do what is right to please God, then they will wrest, corrupt and change the truth of Scripture into a lie in a wicked attempt to justify their evil. God wrote the Bible for those who are pure of heart. That is why Jesus often spoke in parables. Those who were pure of heart understood His sayings, but those who were wicked and had no desire to please God, they were blinded by their own wickedness.

I think all controversial philosophical books such as "1984," "The Handmaiden's Tale," "Catcher In The Rye," "Heather Has Two Mommies," et cetera, should be removed from the schools. Those liberal hypocrites won't even allow the inspired Holy Bible, but they'll allow that degenerate crap. All of those secular books are not intended to educate, they're intended to recruit and shape public opinion. All books and curriculum should be limited to only education. School is not the place for promoting agendas. We've lost our minds in America. Pastor Lester Roloff (1914-2982) was right, "We're in insanity because of sin!"

I thank God for President Trump. He hasn't always been a moral man in his past philandering. But he has done more to stop abortion than his predecessors. Sadly, even though the federal government has left the abortion business since 2022, abortion has merely moved to the individual states, and there were still over one million abortion murders last year! President Trump has removed all known homosexuals from the U.S. military. Praise God! He removed all the DEI crap from the government! Amen.

But, tragically, I am 100% certain that when wicked Democrats retake the White House in the near future, they will bring back all the LGBTQ junk, DEI nonsense and evil with a vengeance, and pass laws to ensure that the good President Trump has accomplished can never be repeated in the future. They hate Donald Trump with a passion, because they hate Jesus!

Anyway, I 100% fully support Governor Ron Desantis courageous efforts to rid Florida's school of the kooks, liberals and queers and their books that aim to corrupt our children with evil. Why don't they teach children sympathy for Christians who are persecuted? Why only the sodomites? The truth is that they couldn't care less about sympathizing with queers, they want to undermine the family and pervert our kids. Senator Ted Cruz' father Rafael said it well. YouTube has repeatedly banned this video, so I copied and saved it to my website.

That is the real issue we face today. The Devil's crowd want to control the people. They want to destroy the family. This blatant truth cannot be denied. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

There's Nothing “Fundamentalist” About Hating People

Matthew 22:36-40. “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

I had first learned about Pastor Steven Anderson and his Faithful Word Baptist Church around 2009. The church was started in 2006 in Tempe, Arizona. Out of that one church and Pastor Anderson's strong evangelical influence, several dozen other churches have also started. As a group that call themselves New Independent Fundamental Baptists (New IFB, or NIFB).

Kindly said, the New IFB movement call themselves “fundamental,” but that is a misnomer (an incorrect or unsuitable name) when they spew and teach hatred for sinners. To truly be a fundamentalist, in the Christian sense, it means that you adhere to the fundamental teachings of the inspired Holy Bible, and that you separate from those who do not. That being said, the inspired King James Bible does NOT teach hatred toward anyone. Pastor Anderson, respectfully said, has wrested the Holy Bible in an attempt to teach hatred for sinners. This heresy goes totally contrary to everything that the Word of God teaches.

Over the past 17 years I have had strong mixed feelings toward the New IFB over several issues, primarily with their ideology that God hates homosexuals and so should you, and that LGBTQ+ people are beyond the hope of the gospel, so we should just throw them under the bus by not sharing the gospel with them.

As blatant living proof that Steven Anderson and his New IFB cultish movement are WRONG, there is the ministry New Hope Ministry started by Frank and Anita Worthen, two former homosexuals who found salvation and deliverance through faith in Jesus Christ. There is hope for homosexuals!!! Frank and Anita are living proof that the New IFB are very wrong and unbiblical in their teaching and preaching that God hates LGBTQ+ people and that they cannot get saved. It ceases to anger and frustrate me hearing these hateful New IFB pastors perverting God's Word, teaching hatred toward humans created in God's very own image.

Homosexuality Is A Sin In The Holy Bible

That being said, and I know I will upset some people here, homosexuality is a horrible sin condemned in the Word of God. And yes, Leviticus 20:13 calls for capital punishment for them if convicted in a valid court of law. Leviticus 20:13, “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” In the year 1962, homosexuality was still a punishable crime in all 50 states in our nation. What changed? God hasn't changed (Malachi 3:6). The Holy Bible hasn't changed (Matthew 5:18). What has sadly changed is that our American culture has deteriorated because of the influence of Hollywood, apostate churches, the controlled mainstream media and other detrimental ungodly influences.

Steps In The Degeneration Of Our Nation (1967)

More Sermons By Brother Lester Roloff

There is much debate among theologians, clergy and church layman over the issue of punishment, if any, for homosexuals. The common claim is that Leviticus 20:13 was given under the Mosaic Law, when Israel was a theocracy, so it only applied to Old Testament Jews.

Another common thing that proponents of having no punishment for homosexuality bring up is that under the Mosaic Law, you would have been killed for eating lobster, or rebelling against your parents, or picking up sticks on the Sabbath Day, and they would be correct.

My humble opinion in the matter, and this is just what I believe, is that God's prohibition of homosexuality and capital punishment for committing it are unchanging moral laws. I think we must use wisdom to separate moral laws (that never expire) from ceremonial laws (which were temporal only for Jews living under Moses' law). The prohibition to eat lobster was clearly a ceremonial law.

On April 30, 2025, I was confronted by Pastor Brad Moffett at the Family Baptist Church in Pensacola. I had attended their church for 45 months, before they kicked me and my wife out over my preaching against women wearing pants (his wife and mother wear pants). Brad's wife couldn't stand me over my stance, so she pressured her husband to censure my ministry. 

Brad also didn't like that I preach the death penalty for homosexuals if convicted in court. The immature pastor said Romans chapter one proves that homosexuals ought not be punished, because God didn't kill them, He “gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves.” But God doesn't kill murderers either, does He? No, God has entrusted and empowered our government to enforce righteousness by punishing lawlessness (Romans 13:1-4). Our country's founding fathers in the United States castrated homosexuals. Go check for yourself!

I reasonably asked Pastor Brad Moffett if he believes in capital punishment for murderers, and he conceded that he does. So, I asked him what gives him or anyone else the right to selectively pick and choose which of God's moral laws are worthy of the death penalty. What gives anyone that right? We don't have a right to decide that murderers should die, but adulterers, kidnappers, rapists, pedophiles and homosexuals should live, when God's law plainly requires the death penalty for all those crimes. I'm just telling you what the Bible says. 

Not only do today's lawmakers flaunt God's law by refusing to punish crime, but they mock God in Maryland by only charging a $10 penalty fee for the crime of adultery. Go check! That is wicked blasphemy against a holy God! Ecclesiastes 8:11, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” I was born in 1967. I can honestly say that I do not recognize the country I grew up in today. I never thought I would see a time in my country when thousands upon thousands of young punks would smash, riot, vandalize, pillage and steal from business in major cities across the United States with impunity. In cities like Los Angeles, if you get caught stealing anything under $1,000 you merely receive a citation, just like double parking. No wonder crime is out of control. New York City is just as bad and only waxing worse!

Everything has deteriorated in American society. Today's music and movies are garbage. There's no more bands. Young people have lost their inspiration to do anything. Everything has been ruined by corporate and personal greed. We've gone away from the holy God of the King James Bible. Elderly people across our country are suffering. Many cannot afford medical care. Homelessness is at epidemic levels due to a woeful lack of affordable housing. Contrary to President Trump's 'Make America Great Again' rhetoric, inflation is higher than ever. Housing prices have not come down! Yet, President Trump has added another $3 trillion of national debt to our miseries. I digress from the subject at hand.

We Should Love LGBTQ+ Sinners With Christ's Love

That all being said, since our federal and state governments today have spiraled downward into wickedness and no longer punish homosexuality, all we can do is try to get them saved by sharing the 'GOOD NEWS' (Gospel) of Jesus crucified, buried and risen for them (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).

I love people! I love LGBTQ+ people and am kind to them, as I am to everyone with God's unconditional love. It is not my place or jurisdiction as a U.S. citizen to punish criminals. But it is my duty as a Bible preacher to tell the truth, damn the torpedoes!

I can tell you with all biblical authority that the New IFB, including pastors' Jonathan Shelley and Steven Anderson, are very WRONG to preach hatred toward homosexuals. I cringe when I hear them spewing hate, calling for homosexuals to shoot themselves in the head. That is wrong! God loves everyone. There is not one LGBTQ+ sinner who has not been created in the image of God, our Creator. Don't anyone dare try to convince me that we should hate someone for whom Christ died on Calvary's cross 2,000 years ago. You are special to God, I don't care who you are!

Again, in closing, there is absolutely nothing “fundamental” (in the Christian or biblical sense) about hating people, regardless of who they are or what they have done. I have seen prison wardens weep in tears as they flipped the throw switch to electrocute an inmate on death row. That is the heartfelt concern and love that we should all have for others. What saith the Scripture? Ezekiel 33:11, “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: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”

Dear reader, if you have a problem with the following image, you do not understand or closely know the loving God of the Holy Bible. The NIFB would reject and criticize this image, claiming that Jesus hates LGBTQ+ people like they do. The LORD does not accept or sanction their wickedness, but He still loves and died for them. John 7:7, “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” In John 5:40 Jesus didn't say, "ye cannot come"; but rather, He said, "Ye will not come" to Him that you might have life. The free gift of forgiveness of sins and eternal life is offered by God to whosoever wants it; free for the taking. Simply believe that Jesus did it all for you. That is, place your whole trust in Christ's death on the cross, burial and His bodily resurrection the third day. This is "the gospel" by which all who BELIEVE IT are saved (Romans 1:16; 1st Corinthians 15:1-6).

From Genesis to Revelation the inspired King James Bible teaches love. There's nothing “fundamentalist” about hating sinners for whom Christ gave His life on Calvary's cross. We are taught in the Scripture to hate evil (Psalms 97:10), but never sinners for whom Christ died.

New IFB Pastors Are Not Above Reproach

Titus 1:9-14, “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.”

There is a disturbing prevalent heresy in the New Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (New IFB, or NIFB) movement that says no one is permitted to challenge, question or oppose the teachings and preaching of their leaders. Nothing could be more unbiblical!

I recently corrected some heresy by a NIFB pastor, but one of their aggressive followers wrongly accused me of bringing an accusation against an elder. That is lunacy! He cited 1st Timothy 5:19, “Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.” This Scripture passage is talking about a member of a church accusing one's pastors of adultery, stealing money or some other serious offense. It does not mean that no one can challenge a doctrinal video that he uploads to YouTube!

Sadly, the New IFB is full of religious nuts! Pastor Steven Anderson is their leader, and he is harsh and aggressive, cold and mean. Once you offend him, it's over; you don't get any second chances. Respectfully said, the guy is shallow, woefully lacking God's love for sinners.

Part of the problem is that Pastor Anderson has been very successful, which success has enabled him to throw his enemies, former disgruntled church members, upset ministry peers, angry family members and wounded friends under the bus while ignoring their cries. I know because I am one of them! For every wounded person that he throws under the bus, he has ten more loyal followers to pander to him. And that just enables him to continue hurting people.

Kindly said, the New IFB's pastors are not apostles! They are definitely not above reproach. Learned Christians are not railing on New IFB pastors for calling them out for their numerous heresies. Onorato Diamante on YouTube is a layman, like myself, and like myself he exposes the New IFB false teaching that you cannot go to Heaven without praying a sinner's prayer. 

The New IFB are very wrong in this doctrinal matter! In several dozen Scripture passages we are plainly taught that the way of salvation is simply to believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:14-18, 36; 5:40; 6:28-29, 40, 47; 10:1, 9; 11:25; 20:31). We are saved by believing the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen to be saved (1st Corinthians 15:1-6). In none of those passages are we taught to call, ask, confess, repent or pray to be saved, but only to BELIEVE. Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do.

I kindly correct New IFB pastors all the time for their gross theological incompetence. Every New IFB pastor that I know of teaches hatred for the LGBTQ+ community, which is totally unbiblical. Although I do believe that homosexuality should be a punishable crime, I also believe that even the vilest criminal is still created in God's image, and we ought not hate someone. Christ died for the vilest sinners (Romans 5:5-9).

I have seen prison wardens weep in tears while flipping the throw switch for an electric chair. That is the condition of heart that we should all have as Christians. Ezekiel 33:11 plainly teaches that God Himself has no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

In 2016, Pastor Steven Anderson rejoiced when a 26 year old deranged gunman murdered 49 victims in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, a known LGBTQ+ hangout. What Pastor Anderson did was wicked and very wrong! What gives anyone the right to rejoice when the wicked die, when God Himself has no pleasure in the death of the wicked?

2nd Peter 3:9 tells us that God desires for all men to repent of their unbelief, to trust Christ to be saved. It is not God's will for ANY to perish! This strongly disproves the heretical popular New IFB heresy that homosexuals are beyond the hope of the gospel, so don't bother witnessing the gospel to them. NIFB pastors call this the “Reprobate Doctrine,” which heresy Steven Anderson learned from his doctrinally unlearned father (which Steven has openly admitted).

Pastor Jack Hyles taught a much milder form of the Reprobate Doctrine, but unlike the New IFB Dr. Hyles didn't create a pet doctrine and give it a name like Steven Anderson has. Dr. Hyles simply believed that biblically there is such a thing as a “reprobate.” But what Brother Hyles taught versus what Steven Anderson teaches are lightyears apart. This chart is invaluable to help understand how unbiblical the New IFB are in their doctrine. ...

Major “Reprobate Doctrine” Comparison

Shame on the New IFB for preaching hatred toward people!!!

I Was Raised To Love Sinners, Not hate Them

I grew up around Skid Row in Chicago, tagging along with my father who was a Skid Row minister for over 30 years. My father and I more times than I can remember got out of the car and saw men lying in the street gutter at 34 S. Desplaines avenue in front of the rescue mission. We didn't know if they were dead or alive. My father called 911 and they always sent a police paddy wagon to come get them.

My father took this photo on the front steps of Chicago United Mission, our rescue mission...

My father once threw away a case of expired Vanilla extract and drunkards remove it from the garbage and drank it. Some men drank paint thinner, sniffed model glue, et cetera. I've seen teenagers sniffing spray-paint from paper bags! White paint was running out of their nostrils. Once the Devil takes over your brain, you are in gat danger!

“No man has as much sense after he drinks as he did before he drinks.” —Evangelist Lester Roloff

I am so thankful that I was raised NOT to hate sinners. I was raised to love and have compassion of human beings, to see them as being broken rather than bad. That is what made Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001) such a great pastor—he loved the down and out, the rejects, the poor, the mission men, the guilty, the broken hearted and bereaved of society. Jude 1:22-23, “And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” There is something very wrong with the aggressive New IFB and their hateful pastors. God is love.

BEWARE of the New IFB's teaching that we should bash and hate LGBTQ+ people. Certainly, we ought not accept them in their unrepentant state as church members in good standing. Every pastor has a biblical duty to spare not and cry aloud against the sins of the people; but at the same time we must love and show compassion toward all men, seeing through their faults for what they can be through faith in the gospel. We are commanded to love our neighbours (Matthew 22:39), and the Lord did not place exclusions upon that command.

You Cannot Be Happy Tomorrow

Philippians 4:11, “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.”

I heard a life changing sermon today by Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001). It is titled, “The Yesterdayer, the Todayer, and the Tomorrower.” I encourage all of my ministry followers to start listening to the preaching of Brother Hyles on a regularly basis, if you don't already. I jotted down some notes from the sermon to help you. These are great truths!

Which category do you fall under: Yesterdayer, Todayer or Tomorrower?

Dear reader, if you're happy it's today. Until you get satisfied with today, you'll never be happy. Are you a Yesterdayer? Are you always wanting today to be like yesterday, when times were better? You can't. Yesterday is gone! I am now 59 years old. I cannot feel 40, 30 or 20 again. I cannot relive those wonderful years when my wife was loyal and by my side.

Are you a Tomorrower? Are you always looking through a haze to a brighter future here on earth. Many spouses think the grass is greener in someone else's marriage, so they divorce their spouse and marry another person, just to find out that the next husband or wife is just as bad, or worse. Some people are always chasing rainbows! Take off the rose-colored glasses and learn to appreciate what you have. Plant some grass seeds in your own yard.

As long as you're a Yesterdayer or a Tomorrower, you'll never be happy! People dream about tomorrow with fantasies, and then when tomorrow arrives they reminisce about how wonderful yesterday was. This is their whole life—never happy, never satisfied, never content. When we think about the past, we tend to only focus on the positive things that made us happy, but if we'll be honest with our self, the past did include negatives that we'd rather forget. So, whether we are looking backward or forward, we tend to only see what we want to see, not reality.

Another favorite sermon by Brother Hyles is titled: "Learn To Enjoy Where You Are, While On Your Way To Where You Are Going." These sermons will change your life dear reader if you'll heed the wisdom. Most people are miserable today, because they're always looking to the future for happiness, or dwelling upon a filtered fictional past. They were complaining in the past as much as they do today, but they have forgotten how bad it was yesterday.

Many people are in a state of discontentment. They'll never be happy! They dream of going to paradise, but if they ever got there they'd still be miserable and it wouldn't be paradise, because they'd still be there! Until we can learn to relish the moment, and become comfortable in the present, we'll never be happy in life.

I think a lot of believers who contact my ministry—who are discouraged, down and destitute in life—it is largely because they have never learned to be content with today, satisfied with what they have. There are two ways to become rich:

1. Have all you want
2. Want all you have

I just want all I have. You can have very little in life, and yet be rich, if you are content. And contrariwise, there are billionaires who are miserable, still not content with what God has given them. Everything is a mindset in life.

I have never owned a new car in my life. I am 59 years old. I don't want a new car. I love old things. My present vehicle is a 2014 Honda FIT, and I love it, mainly because it is 100% paid for. I saved up money on Guam before I moved to Pensacola in 2021. I paid about $12,000 cash (including sales taxes) and bought the vehicle before I had even left Guam, from a Honda dealership in Pensacola. One of their kind employees even picked me up at the airport and drove me to the dealership to get my new (old) car. They had already acquired my license plates. They were very nice to me, which I am still very grateful to them for doing. I am still driving the same reliable vehicle and Lord willing, plan to drive it until it is either beyond repair, gets stolen or smashed. So far it has served me very well. I am happy with it. Thank you Lord!

I live a simple life. I have all I need and am content and happy in the Lord, despite my chronic health afflictions that torment me night and day mercilessly. God is faithful (1st Corinthians 1:9). Job 13:15, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.” Job 19:25, “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.” My full trust is in God my Savior!

Pastor Hyles says your whole disease is that you are not a Todayer. You're not satisfied with today. We foolishly have the wrong attitude, "It's always going to get like I dream it will be." But our fantasies don't include any negatives. You can't be happy tomorrow, because tomorrow will be today when tomorrow comes. So, if you're not happy today, when tomorrow comes and it is today again, you still won't be happy. Boy this is good stuff!

Dear reader, learn to embrace the moment, now! We can be happy right now, simply by thanking God in every thing, and learning to enjoy where we are at. This is what causes nearly all of our unhappiness. Be a Todayer. Get comfortable with today, right now! Yesterday is a cashed check. Tomorrow is a promissory note. All we have is cash to spend today. Spend it wisely. Worrying about tomorrow won't change anything, but it empties today of our Christian joy. God gives us trials and burdens to make us better, not bitter.

We're all guilty at times of being Yesterdayers and Tomorrowers, by either dwelling upon a filtered fictional past or by looking to the future through a blinding haze, missing the moment. If you've never come to grips with settling to be happy today, you'll never be happy. This is something that I think we would all be wise to continue working at, to learn to enjoy today.
