Will you please pray for the Santa Fe news media.

The homosexual community is perpetuating a new Biblical theology. It can be best described as “God said it - but He didn’t mean it.” The theology purports that David and Jonathan were homosexuals and that Ruth and Naomi were lesbians. To deal with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the sin of the city was merely “lacking hospitality.”

Revive Santa Fe, a seven-day revival, recently concluded on Sunday, September 21, 2008. Because Biblical principles were espoused through out, this effort described by the presenters as “Revival, Renewal and Refreshment” and “A Mission of Love” was greeted with newspaper headlines “Anti-gay Agenda keeps (Mayor) Coss away” and “Mayor Shuns Revival Appearance.” (See entry below.)

It turns out that anything that is not an absolutely embracing of the homosexual agenda is “hate speech.” But please consider the following:

Bill Bright who died in 2003, was a businessman who founded Campus Crusade for Christ. The organization has brought hundreds of thousands to Christ. His decades long, extensive writings are widely appreciated by Christian community. One of the things Mr. Bright wrote about was the need for a coming revival. Number 6 in his list reads: “The homosexual explosion. Enough is enough.”

Those words were labeled a “hate statement” by Mayor Coss and, in deference to the homosexual community, the Mayor withdrew from making opening remarks at the revival.

The Santa Fe press the followed with these statements:

The group sponsoring the revival was called the “Anazao 7.” The name, a Greek word and is translated as “to live again, recover life.” The Santa Fe Reporter’s reporter, Zane Fisher, declared the name “the historical nomenclature of groups involved with political oppression or racial violence.” (No historic reference could be found.)

The article further attacks the event in the following way:

A team member is attacked as the “vaguely vampiric (at least in the photo) Christian guitarist Keith Cooper will assume the role of “worship leader.”

“Make no mistake about it: These happy-go-luck singing, painting, dancing, story-telling, concerned-about-the-river folks are bigoted fundamentalists with an extremist agenda and a dangerous sense of moral entitlement.”

And “comical extremity of people who still actually think banning books is a good idea…”

Mr. Fisher concludes the article with “The values Santa Fe stands for when it is at its best – tolerance, openness, creativity, real community- are very much in danger of becoming a smoldering wreck in the wake of the next presidential election should fundamentalism remain a powerful influence in the White House.”

Apparently the values of tolerance, openness, creativity and real community, which are rooted in Christianity, cannot today be applied to Christianity in Santa Fe today.

Darren Dunbar, an activist who showed up in a pink dress, accused the revival of causing teen suicide blaming “ideas” like those coming from the revival. He is quoted in the Santa Fe New Mexican “More than anything I just wanted to say this is rude.” “But thank you for coming. Thanks for your money. Now go back to Dallas.” (Mr. Dunbar called Christians who were attempting to befriend him “creep gym teachers.”

The mayor of Santa Fe decried the comparison of Santa Fe to Sodom (although no one had).

But one fact is note worthy: if Sodom’s sin was being inhospitable, so is Santa Fe’s.

Dear Friends,

Please pray for Santa Fe and its Mayor David Coss.

Mayor David Coss made it very clear that he does not support Christianity. The mayor had agreed to address the opening night of a 7 day revival in Santa Fe entitled “REVIVE Santa Fe” on Monday, September 15, but decided against appearing. Instead, the organizer, Pastor Kyle Martin from Dallas, TX, received an email on opening day stating that the mayor had “another commitment” and would not address the gathering.

Mayor Coss had been directed to the REVIVE Santa Fe web site. The web site makes it very clear that, from a biblical perspective, homosexuality is a sin. Mayor Coss’s position is that Santa Fe, with a higher percentage of homosexuals than most other cities, is “proud of its diversity.”

The Mayor had no difficulty in addressing the Gay Pride gathering on the plaza on June 28, even though the vast majority of Santa Fe citizens are Christian. Deference to homosexuals versus resistance to Christian principals provides citizens with a clear understanding of the Mayor’s priorities.

Santa Fe Christians, who are in the majority, will have to choose. The “Sodom and Gomorrah” reference can define Santa Fe, or we show that we are truly the “City of Holy Faith.”

Please call Mayor Coss’ office and express your love and concern for him and for the homosexual community.

Let him know, also, that your vote is for Jesus, not for this.

Mayor Coss’ office phone is (505) 955-6590.

The headline in Sunday’s Albuquerque Journal screamed out at New Mexico: “Experts: Sodomy Reports Increase”. Of course the “experts” turned out to be two people who’d written books on the subject and are interested in that sort of thing. The number turns out to be 45 “sexual incidents.” The report does not make clear what that number represents. Forty-five locals calling the author? A nationwide study? It was not reported.

The obvious fact is this: another name for homosexuals is sodomites. As sodomites “come out of the closet” and desperately attempt to legitimize their behavior, sodomy will increased.

The Journal article focuses on the victimization of the recipient but nothing is said of the homosexuals who would perpetrate such crimes.

This January with the convening of New Mexico Legislature, an anti-bullying bill is expected to be introduced. Who doesn’t want to stop bullying?

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender community have already done their “research.” What they found was that bullies are more likely to address a person’s body type than their sexuality presentation. In other words, a kid will call another kid “fat” before they call him “gay.”

In the Journal’s “sodomy equals victim” reporting, victimization is being used to soften and engender a sympathetic response. That will be followed by legislation, which in turn will be followed by a homosexual friendly curriculum in the public schools.

Last year, Nebraskan parents were shocked to find that their anti-bullying curriculum was simple pro-homosexual indoctrination. Their only option was to pro-actively call the schools and have their children excused from the classes.

If we want this sort of curriculum in your schools, simply do nothing.

If you don’t want the homosexual agenda in your schools, examine the positions of those you will be sending to Santa Fe as your legislators next session. Each of our legislators is up for election. Because of the enormous amount of money pouring into the state to move the homosexual agenda forward, chances are that those coming to Santa Fe next winter will have bought into the homosexual agenda.

What New Mexico students will be learning next year will depend on whom we send to the New Mexico legislature in January. Do nothing - and expect homosexual counseling and a homosexual a curriculum in a classroom near you next year.
