Evolution = Hopelessness
EVOLUTION
A fatherless universe.
A mindless world of matter.
A building without a blueprint.
A house without a home.
A family without a mother.
A body without a soul.
A history without a goal.
A religion without hope.
A humanity without help.
A society without law.
An institution without love.
A day without light.
A night without end.
A fog that never lifts.
A gloom that depresses.
A spirit that chills.
A philosophy without logic.
A science without facts.
A theory without reality.
A wound without healing.
A disease without a doctor.
A world without God.
The World and Christ, Too
I received this in my email box today, and it is very relevant. Some of you might not like this, but this has to be said…
Another Christian Winner of American Idol:
The World and Christ, Too
Friday Church News Notes, May 29, 2009 www.wayoflife.org
The new winner of the incredibly worldly American Idol television show is Kris Allen, a “devout Christian” who is worship leader at New Life Church in Conway, Arkansas, and has done missionary work in various places.
While pursuing the title of American Idol, Allen performed songs written by such filthy rockers as the homosexual Freddie Mercury (“We Are the Champions”), accused child molester and unisex monster Michael Jackson (“Man in the Mirror”), drug, prostitute, pornography addictMarvin Gaye (“What’s Going On?”), and rapper Kayne West (“Heartless”), who has appeared in a blasphemous pose on the cover of filthy Rolling Stone magazine depicting Jesus wearing a crown of thorns. According to Business Insider, it was Allen’s teenage-girl fanbase” that kept him in the running (“Idol Finalist Kris Allen,” May 13, 2009). Allen told his pastor that “feeling the warm stage lights and seeing the eager audience looking up at him reminded him of only one thing: going to church.” But that is only because contemporary churches like his ape the world, the same type of music, the same rock band format, the same rock show milieu, the same dress, the same addiction to the heavy back beat, the same “judge not” philosophy.
Other professing Christian winners and finalists of the American Idol competition are Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, R.J. Helton, Chris Daughtry, Carry Underwood, Jordin Sparks, and David Cook. Aiken and Helton have since admitted that they are homosexuals. The October 20, 2006, issue of People magazine quoted Helton as saying, “Just because I am gay does not mean I can’t love God. I’m very proud of who I am.” (Helton’s Christian music album Real Life sold 20,000 copies.) Aiken was featured on the cover of People on September 24, 2008, with the words, “Yes, I’m Gay.” American Idol is rightly named, in that it represents the modern pop culture in all of its narcissism, its fleshly sensuality, its immodesty, its unisexuality, its vanity, and its moral relativity. Its producers and judges make no pretense that it is some sort of platform for godliness.
It is, in fact, a perfect fulfillment of the world described in 1 John 2:16, the world that the believer is warned not to love, “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:16). It is impossible to love the world and Christ, too. The Word of God says, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4). The Christianity represented by the contestants on American Idol is not biblical Christianity; it is the apostate Christianity predicted in Bible prophecy, the “live after your own lusts” Christianity. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears” (2 Timothy 4:3).
May 2009 Leach Update
Here is the latest update from our missionaries to U.S. Prisons, the

May 2009
Dear Pastors, Supporting Churches, Family and Friends,
We continue to travel on deputation and to prisons. It is exciting to serve God and be a part of such a great ministry, winning inmates for Christ. May we continue to be faithful servants for our Lord and Saviour. “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)” Hebrews 10:23.
Since our last letter we have visited numerous prisons and seen many souls come to Christ. Our prayer is that these men and women will enroll in the Prisoners’ Bible Institute and begin to grow in the Lord. Also, pray for a gentleman named Joe. He received Christ in one of our prisons, but he was struggling with the changes that he knew he would have to make. Pray that he will grow in Christ and that God will give him the strength to withstand any trials that may incur while serving in prison.
In April, we had our Annual Coordinators’ Meeting. We had informative meetings and training in the morning and afternoons and services at night. The Lord worked in hearts and truly met with His people. Many decisions were made and souls saved in the services. We would like to thank New Life Baptist Church for their gracious giving of themselves and financial support. They sacrificed their time and effort far above what was expected. God Bless You!
We are still preparing to move to Pennsylvania. We will be putting our house on the market in the next couple of weeks. It has been a slow process, but all in God’s time. We are very excited about our move to the northeast and look forward to what God has planned for our lives in the future.
We are in the process of converting some of our prayer letters to email letters, when possible, or if it is desired. If you are now getting our letter through the postal service and would like to start getting it by email please let us know via email. Our email address is listed above, in the right hand corner.
We would like to thank all of those who support us through your prayers and finances. We have very faithful prayer warriors and financial supporters and feel very blessed. Our God is faithful and the supplier of all our needs!

The Chronicles of Suburbia
I see that Dan Brown has another “Christian conspiracy” film out now. I found this recently. I wonder?
In his next Christian conspiracy thriller titled “The C.S. Lewis Code,” author Dan Brown exposes the truth about Aslan the Lion, who purportedly left Narnia, got married, and settled down with his wife and adopted lamb in Secaucus, New Jersey.
