"Is it ok with you if I share with you what the Bible says?" (Dodging Hate Crimes)

I just sent this out to the team leaders and workers in LTW outreach locations:Bulleted List

Hello Team leaders and workers,

I just received this email (below) from an ex-lesbian woman who has been keeping up with Obama and the homosexual agenda. We don't need to fear, but we do need to be wise.

So, with Obama now planning to enforce the "hate crime laws legislation" we have to be careful. PLEASE BE SURE WHEN WITNESSING AT THE TABLE TO ASK, "Is it ok with you if I read you what the Bible says?" This way, if they give us permission to read them what the Bible says, we should not be able to get charged with a hate crime. Avoid saying things like "I think...", but instead only sticking to what the Bible says. If ever there was a time to RESIST philosophical arguments and only stick to the Bible, this is it.

(I have also sent this to people who are praying about starting new street outreaches with us based on apologetics in 2009.)

I am praying for you all daily by name and count it a privilege to work with you for God's glory.

"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever fears the Lord is kept safe." --Prov. 29:25

God bless,

Dwayna

If anybody actually believes that Obama isn't really an ultra-leftwing radical, get ready for a rude awakening. The Obama administration is wasting no time with its plans to change America.

Within an hour of his swearing-in, the following was posted on the official White House website, as Obama's immediate "civil rights" goals:

Protect cross-dressing and transgenderism in workplace (including schools) through federal law: Pass "Employment non-discrimination Act" [EDNA] to prohibit "discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity or expression".

Expand hate crime statutes, including the radical "Matthew Shepard Act", which would allow the federal government to prosecute and punish if the crime was perceived to be "motivated by prejudice based on the actual or perceived . . . gender, sexual orientation, gender identity" of the victim.

"Reinvigorate" the federal Department of Justice to pursue prosecution current hate crime laws against citizens.

Repeal the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA]

Push for full civil unions and federal recognition of homosexual couples, with benefits equal to actual marriage. (This appears to be leading up to full federal recognition of same-sex "marriage".)

Allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military - repeal "Don't ask don't tell."

Use the federal government to expand adoptions of children by homosexuals.

Use the federal government to push for more sex-education and contraception in schools and throughout society (especially in light of the goal to repeal DOMA).

Lift the federal ban on needle exchange -as a "politically correct" way to attempt to combat AIDS without highlighting the real cause as homosexuality and drug use. According to the website, Obama wants to "confront the stigma -- too often tied to homophobia -- that continues to surround HIV/AIDS."

(--Entire "civil rights" list from White House web site)
And as we've already reported, Obama is helping the homosexual movement target the schools, having appointed his buddy, Arne Duncan, as US Secretary of Education. This past October, Duncan recommended that the Chicago Board of Education approve a special homosexual/ bisexual / transgender public high school. But there was so much outrage that even the pro-homosexual Mayor of Chicago, Richard Daley, backed away from the idea. Now, he'll have free reign. ( Wall Street Journal: Duncan Caused Stir With Plan for High School for Gays )

It's gotten to a point where the homosexual blogs are keeping a scorecard of the various homosexual activists that Obama is bringing into major positions in the US government.

And of course, Obama had Gene Robinson, the homosexual activist Episcopal bishop, give a major prayer during inauguration week. And he had a "proud" homosexual band march in the inauguration parade.

And we're just one day into the new administration. . .
