What if Starbucks sold coffee like a church

Very Very Funny video for those in ministry

This is what liberal "tolerance" looks like....

About 13 Christian young people who had gone to 18th and Castro streets Friday night, November 14, to sing praise songs soon were escorted out of the neighborhood by police after dozens of angry homosexuals confronted and surrounded them.

The Castro has been a gathering spot over the past couple of weekends for people rallying against the passage of Proposition 8, but there apparently hadn’t been any large protests in the neighborhood that night.

Missy Huff, a 21-year-old with Promised Land Fellowship, said she and about 13 other young people gathered at the intersection only to play guitar, sing, and worship, something they’ve done many other times over the past three years without incident.

Huff said they were singing "Amazing Grace" and "Oh, the Blood of Jesus" and hadn’t said anything to anyone when two men - members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence - approached them and "started getting pretty upset."

The Sister took out a large, dark green cloth and put it around the young people so people couldn’t see them, said Huff.

Huff said the Sister, who apparently was Timothy Ryan, also known as Sister Mary Timothy, approached another of the group and said things like, "We don’t need to be saved. How dare you come out here."

Ryan told the Bay Area Reporter in an e-mail what he said was, "We do not need to be saved and we are not a ’broken’ community!"

Ryan, who helped alert others to the Christian teen's presence in the neighborhood, wrote that he and his husband, Michael Medema, took his sari, "and shielded the community from their hate..."

Huff said Medema was telling people the young people were there regarding Prop 8, which Huff said wasn’t the case. Angry people started gathering around them, Huff said, and yelling and screaming. She said there was eventually a mob of about 200 people screaming "Shame on you!" and "Go home to where you came from!"

Huff said the cloth was still wrapped around them when a man she couldn’t see dumped hot coffee on the faces of her and another woman. "It was pretty scary," she said.

Medema eventually removed the sari from around the young people. Then, Huff said an unidentified man picked up one of the group’s Bibles and started walking away with it. The man hit Cloud over the head with the Bible, shoved her to the ground, and started kicking her legs, Huff said. A couple people from the crowd pulled the man off Cloud, she said. Cloud said, "I was really scared" when the man attacked her. "I just didn’t want things to get worse ... I was afraid he was going to go crazy." She said she felt safe after the man was pulled off of her.

Huff said a police officer grabbed the man and asked Cloud if she wanted to press charges, but she declined. The officer let the man go and told him not to come back that night, said Huff.

Ryan said he did see a woman, probably Cloud, get knocked down. The young people stayed in a circle singing while "tons of people," many of them coming out of bars, shoved the group and continued yelling things, Huff said. She said one man threatened their team leader, saying, "I’m gonna kill you."

Huff said a police officer confronted the men. At this point, she said, people surrounding the group had gotten whistles and were getting as close to them and as loud as they could, but the group kept singing. One of the men in her group had called police, Huff said, and 15 to 20 officers arrived wearing riot gear.

Around that time, she said, people in the crowd started assaulting the men in the Christian group, trying to pull their pants dawn and grabbing them inappropriately. The men put the women in the middle of the group to protect them, said Huff.

The police made a line between the Christian group and the crowd while people continued to scream and yell, Huff said, and at least one officer told the group the police feared for the young people’s safety, and they would need to escort them out. The police continually asked the crowd to keep a few feet between themselves and the young people, and the police intervened every time someone got too close to them, he wrote.

Huff said by 8:30 the officers surrounded her team and escorted them to their van, which was parked at 20th and Eureka streets, as a crowd followed them.

Asked if they’d had any idea something like this could happen, Huff said her group had "considered it would be a little more intense than normal" and that’s why they had decided just to sing, rather than approach people as they would normally do. But "we didn’t think anything like this would happen," Huff said. She said she got a knot on her head and a bruise on her leg, but it was "nothing very serious at all." Huff said she believes her group will return to the Castro at some point.

"We go to the Castro all the time," she said. "We have friends there. We love the people who live in the Castro, and in no way hold what happened Friday night against them."

Eric Smith, 51, who lives near where the group’s van was parked, said he witnessed a portion of the incident. Smith said people were shouting things like "Get out of our neighborhood!" and he saw a crowd - still blowing whistles - follow as police escorted the young people to their van. Once they got there, he said the police stopped the crowd.

New Gay Agenda: Persecute the Church

MICHIGAN. - A gay rights group, Bash Back, is claiming responsibility for a protest Sunday at Mount Hope Church in Delta Township.

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. - Jesus

Protesters who entered the Creyts Road church along with worshippers surprised the congregation when they stood up during the service, threw fliers at churchgoers and shouted slogans such as "It's OK to be gay," and "Jesus was a homo," according to David Williams, communications director at the church. His father, Dave Williams, is the church's longtime pastor. He was not preaching at the church Sunday.

Another group of protesters demonstrated outside the church at the same time as the indoor protest. The Eaton County Sheriff's Department responded to the scene Sunday but no arrests were made. In a released statement, David Williams said churchgoers were unclear as to the purpose of the outside demonstration. 

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. - Jesus

A Lansing group affiliated with a radical gay organization known as Bash Back, formed to protest the Republican and Democratic national conventions earlier this year, put out a call on the Internet on Oct. 7 for activists to come to a "radical queer convergence" in Lansing on Nov. 7-9. A posting on its MySpace page declared the convergence a "fierce success."

According to a report on the Bash Back group's news site, protesters inside the church pulled a fire alarm, unfurled a banner from the church balcony, shouted pro-gay anti-Christian slogans and threw fliers to the worshippers. Outside the church, protesters carried picket signs and an upside-down, pink cross.

Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. -Jesus

Mount Hope Church teaches followers that homosexuality is a sin. However, "Mount Hope Church strives to follow Jesus' example of loving the sinner but not the sin," Williams said. The Eaton County Sheriff's Department got a call regarding the protest at about noon Sunday, said Lt. Jeff Warder. No arrests were made.

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted - 2 Timothy 3:12

Coming Soon To Christians Everywhere...

A little old lady stood up for her faith. They tore the cross from her hands and stomped on it till it broke. Then they attacked her.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
