Consider the Psychology Behind the “I PLEDGE” Video

By: Stephen Black

  Pay close attention to this well-thought-out very creative “educational-tool” created by the NEA and your tax dollars that is being promoted by the Barack Obama Administration. This video begins and ends with political iconic cartoonistic graphics that are designed to appeal to children.  The beginning message is emotional.  A sympathetic message of loneliness in being the President, and then immediately the message calls for responsibili...Read More ➔

Freedom from Homosexuality - A Letter to OKC Gazette Editor

By: Stephen Black

Several years ago I meet Louis Hommel who had already started his journey with God in walking away from homosexuality.  I had the honor and privilege to spend time serving Louis in discipleship care and support group ministry within First Stone Ministries.  I am so proud of how consistent and diligent Louis has been in seeking Christ as Savior and Lord of his life and his sexuality.  Many of us who have left homosexuality behind embrace the Gospel of Jesus...Read More ➔

A Brother ~ My Brother! An Answer to Prayer!

By: Stephen Black

FINALLY! A NATIONAL LEADER!  A Man of God, Ken Hutcherson, the senior pastor of Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland, Washington. Pastor Hutcherson is a beautiful black man in my view, for he is a courageous man of God, but not just because he is black, but that he has godly conviction as a black man.  This is God’s beauty – the feet of those who preach good news! No doubt Pastor Hutcherson will take a lot hits (verbal abuse) over speaking the trut...Read More ➔

Why The "Hate Crime Law" Is Destructive - Say No To Hate Crimes!

By: Stephen Black

I have been communicating over and over that the purposed hate crimes legislation was unnecessary because laws are already in place to prosecute hate crime in all 50 states. Finally someone who is much more articulate has written a terrific and very clear article on this subject.  Please read Dr. Gagnon's article below. Hate crimes legislation is not about hate crimes; it is a political agenda to normalize homosexuality at the same status of equality in our society...Read More ➔

Homosexual Behavior is More Like Consensual Incest... Will the USA have Hate Crime Laws?

By: Stephen Black

When you look at the roots of homosexuality it becomes clear, especially for those of us who have come full-circle in leaving it behind, that there is a very distorted broken element of narcissism and the desire to repair the longings for connection to the same sex parent.  I must say that the Lord Jesus Christ has been very kind to me in pointing out the condition of my own emotional, relational and spiritual state in coming out of my sexual distortions and homosex...Read More ➔

Imagine Jihadi Mentality in U.S. Prisons ~ Imagine President Obama's Plan

By: Stephen Black

I thought this was an excellent, well thought out article, with common sense thinking from Michelle Malkin, Syndicated Columnist.  Michelle communicated the possibilities America faces of an ongoing horrific Islamic jihad;  not merely a “man-made disaster,” but a Koran-inspired religious war. President Obama refuses to clearly communicate the centuries-old roots of this type war.  President Obama claims he can win this war faster, better, and c...Read More ➔

Luca WAS Gay - Luca ERA Gay by Povia

Click here read Povia's story as told by NARTH.  Read about what he has been going through with this amazing song going up on the pop charts despite the hate speech and death threats from the gay community.  Povia is courageous and I applauded him!  I also really like his song! Povia is merely trying to kindly communicate a story of hope without any condemnation, and yet the level of vitriol and intolerance revealed by the Italian gay community is truly...Read More ➔

Mean-spirited emails over Carrie Prejean post

By: Stephen Black

I have received some very interesting emails about my previous post. Let me clarify again; I am not trying to communicate that Carrie Prejean is to be compared to the godliness of an Esther or that her sacrifice of giving up the Miss USA crown is the same level of sacrifice as Ether’s submission to an evil king. This post should be read in context with Pastor McPherson’s message and Carrie’s behind the scene testimony. This blog post went up because I...Read More ➔
