According to Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, when he’d written that the time would come when the government would try to silence the pastors in America in his book “God Less America”

Apparently that day has arrived in Houston, Texas through the power of the first openly lesbian mayor of the city, Annise Parker.

It’s reported that the city of Houston has demanded that several pastors turn over their sermons on anything about homosëxuality, gender identity, or the mayor of the city, in apparent revenge for opposition against the city’s new non-discrimination ordinance. The mayor’s office has backed up these demands by issuing subpoenas, so that if they refuse, legal action may be taken against them.

According to Christina Holcomb, attorney for the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the city council is attempting to quiet any opposition of actions they take. She added that the ADF has filed a motion in Harris County court to stop these subpoenas, which are “overbroad, unduly burdensome, harassing and vexatious.”

  1. I do agree that she needs to call into question everything if she’s going to even ATTEMPT to dictate what a church preaches… She has no right to. I do believe in separation of church and state…

    I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish – where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source – John F. Kennedy

    Kennedy dropped jewels there

  2. I’m not saying that anyone is wrong but she still can’t tell them what not to preach about and my personal opinion just my opinion there’s more important and serious thing she needs to focus on

  3. I’d say because she has a personal stake in the matter… just like Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton ONLY go to White on Black crime scenes and make speeches but not vice versa…

  4. Joe Franklin so why isn’t she making sure all issues are not offensive to people and not just homosexuality? isn’t she practicing a form of discrimination that only helps her lesbian activity???

  5. Ok with all due respect to the poster and the post, I can understand your stance on the situation. However, you have to be objective and look at her position. Many pastors give whole sermons on the “current Sodom” that our country has become. The way they give these sermons can sound outright discriminatory. Damning the LGBT community to hell and even people that interact with them or allow them in their families to a similar outcome. You can’t use the Bible for one crusade against sin and not the other… that’s discrimination in its basic form.. if you damn a person for one sin and turn your cheek to the next you are being a selective judge .Was that what Jesus did? No, he looked at the thief just as he looked at the murderer.

    I myself don’t find homosexuality an issue. It’s not affecting my day to day life. To each his own.

    Here is my main “argument” if a pastor was using the Bible and saying that it justifies slavery and that Blacks are cursed because of Noah’s son wouldn’t you be offended and say he is preaching discrimination and racism? This is the same as a pastor preaching sexual “orientationism”

  6. Ok Kingsmen White is this a discussion or a Praise and shock post? You I know I’d like to weigh in but I don’t want to start arguments or trouble.

  7. Colin Dotson It’s going to get ugly! Evil wants to make “Good” evil and “Evil” good! A multitude of people will be spiritually broken once GOD reveals who “The Wolves” are impersonating themselves as a loyal Shepherd of GOD’S Flock! These very people will be the ones implementing, manipulating, and twisting GOD’S WORD like they already are to make people comfortable, but it will be New World Order laws and executive orders by “The Shadow Government”

  8. AMEN to that Apostle Roberta Cutwright! I try my best to discipline myself and treat every single day as the day JESUS is coming back! I want to keep growing in HIM to do better across the board, to inform all humanity, and exercise my faith by working with HIM and for HIM! It’s gets tough sometime, but I keep learning more about GOD and myself daily so I’m sticking with it!

  9. Ahhhh yes!!! I pray that articles such as this one Dino Simmons provoke people to run to Christ and stay in the ark of safety. I was asked do I believe the times will get better. I advised them no, for the bible tells me so. Matt 24 is being played out right in front of our eyes, but we are missing it because we are chasing the blessings and not the Blesser. Lord have mercy on the church….

  10. Apostle Roberta Cutwright It’s getting crazier by the day and most people are unaware about what’s going to happen! Sometimes we get so occupied with life we miss our instructions and messages from GOD! I’ve learned over the years to make time for GOD and pull out of “The Matrix” in order to be in another place in HIM!

  11. I really am not surprised by this at all. While we have been spending time on feel good messages versus telling the people of the coming travesties, the enemy is perpetual with his plan to destroy as many souls possible.

  12. I read that this mayor is doing this in retaliation for a petition that was done after her city ordinance back in May allowed for all the public restrooms in Houston to become unisex so that for example if a man decides he’s a “woman” that particular day he can use the women’s restroom and if a business owner or anyone says anything they can be criminally prosecuted. This city ordinance (that the mayor announced was the most significant thing she had done while in office) got a lot of heat with a petition of signatures to overturn it and the bully mayor is going after certain churches/pastors in retaliation and to intimidate.

  13. I understand that, that’s why I didn’t mention local city gov’t. I was just passing the info on the big picture of where it’s going to go based on the allegiance of the 501c3 Churches according to the state and their regulations. As far as city gov’t Wan Sheldon you are correct. This should light a fire under all of us to stand stall for GOD even more. “They” are and will come for us.

  14. Yeah I posted about this earlier this week

    Dino 501c3 status isn’t regulated locally by city government, so this status doesn’t mandate compliance with a local request to submit sermons

    This is a local mayor trying to control and violate Freedom of speech

  15. Non 501c3 Churches and those who stand truthfully on the word of GOD will have to unite, stand up, and move as one! This will separate the wheat from the tares! (Matthew 13:30)

  16. This applies to 501c3 Churches. A 501c3 Church is an organization/corporation created by the state, therefore controlled by the state. A 501c3 Church has no rights per say, they are limited as far as speech. It’s all in the documents when filing. 501c3 Churches have only privileges. If these churches don’t comply, the state can seize control, dissolve the church, and take assets. The word “church” with small letters [lower case] means a group of worshipers, and the word “Church” which is capitalized, means a state “corporation” this is why the rights are limited due to state control based on the documents when filing. If a church or ministry files as a 501c3 Church under the state, they automatically sign away their rights as an organization under the constitution. This is all the work of Satan to take the true word of GOD out of the church, twist it and manipulate it to implement his plans of destruction, chaos, and to force pastors and ministers to convince the church that following Satan, the new world order laws of the land is in the word based on Romans 13! Satan will use the church to spread his evil brainwashing tactics on a larger scale through this! This is only the beginning! Remember the AntiChrist will not desire women! (Daniel 11:37)

  17. Bro.King l agree with you ,persecution is coming to church ,and this will tell the truth of those who say they love the Lord,n willing to take a Godly stand for gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.Amen…

  18. it’s getting real Ayanna Lyrical Resonation Walker she don’t want that word to make people feel uncomfortable. they are going to try to shut it down but it won’t work. persecution is coming

  19. …….tapping my fingers because this chock has lost all her marbles. Just because she is gay doesn’t mean she has the right to infringe on someone else beliefs. She just violated folks rights on free speech and freedom to practice those religious beliefs.
