Just for perspective, I wanted to post a couple of news articles pulled from the internet today and contrast those against a video that was sent to us by e-mail.

The first article comes from WorldnetDaily. It tells how a group of homosexual activists ransacked a church during their Sunday worship service.

Worshippers at a Bible-teaching church in Lansing, Mich., were stunned Sunday when members of a pro-homosexual, pro-anarchy organization named Bash Back interrupted their service to fling propaganda and condoms around the sanctuary, drape a profane banner from the balcony and feature two lesbians making out at the pulpit.

According to De Leeuw, "Prayer had just finished when men and women stood up in pockets across the congregation, on the main floor and in the balcony.

"'Jesus was gay,' they shouted among other profanities and blasphemies as they rushed the stage. Some forced their way through rows of women and kids to try to hang a profane banner from the balcony while others began tossing fliers into the air. Two women made their way to the pulpit and began to kiss," he wrote.

He cited the Bash Back organization's own announcement of other items members brought into the church, including "a megaphone, noise makers, condoms, glitter by the bucket load, confetti, pink fabric. ..."

As hard as that is to believe, you should read the entire article by clicking this link to read the whole account.

The second article is a video clip from KPSP-TV's news coverage of a rally in Palm Springs in response to California's passing of Prop 8. This new law amends California's state constitution to only recognize marriage between a man and a woman.

You may want to pause the background music on the left side of this website before playing this video.



Now compare those two stories with this video of Nick Vujicic. There is a peace, joy and hope that can only come through placing your entire life in the hands of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

The first two stories just reek of self-centered sin and man's enmity with God when outside of Christ. While the last is actually a lingering fragrance of how God can give hope and meaning in the most overwhelming trials.
