One of the neat things about running a blog is the fact that I can focus on something to the degree that I choose to focus on it.

Recently, much to my surprise, I found out that someone has apparently confronted a nephew of John K. Jenkins, the pastor of First Baptist Church of Glenarden on the Kettering. And the perpetrator said some pretty rough things. The bull necked security folks have apparently decided that I may have been the perp. Would you care to tell me why they thought I might be the perp? Or is this an attempt to besmirch me and the site?

And you people thought I was being self-centered when I reported that the security weenies at First Baptist Church of Glenarden on the Kettering had been watching me the last time I went there.

These people don’t care about you. They are interested only in keeping the museum, mausoleum, and memorial going. They care only about making sure that John K. Jenkins, the pastor of First Baptist Church of Glenarden on the Kettering stays in the limelight and in the big dog wannabe seat.

As I said in a response to a reader, to my knowledge I have never seen the nephew of John K. Jenkins, the pastor of First Baptist Church of Glenarden on the Kettering. I don’t know where the kid shops. I don’t know what his mom looks like. I don’t know anything about any of them. More than that, I am not interested in any of them.

John K. Jenkins, the pastor of First Baptist Church of Glenarden on the Kettering is a pulpit pimp. I know he’s a pimp. And the longer I get to post comments on him, the more people around me will know he is a pimp. I suspect HE knows he’s a pulpit pimp. And I even suspect that as more and more people figure this out, and as they begin to understand how much damage he has done to them and their families, someone may develop an “I Was Pimped by JKJ” recovery and support group. I’d be glad to design and sell the tee shirt.

I guarantee you, I have better things to do than threaten some sixteen year old. As I said in the previous comment, this site is more fun than a human being should be allowed to have. It’s also quite legal and quite safe. I wouldn’t dream of jeopardizing it, my honor, or my freedom on some half-pint pulpit pimp.

Let’s see what happens as people begin to see just how twisted the pastor of First Baptist Church of Glenarden on the Kettering is. Let’s see if he has the testicular mass to stand on what he has been saying and doing or if he will fold like a rickety lawn chair.

Hmmm. Having people upset with him might make it difficult to actually enjoy the money and comfort he has extorted from the members of his clu- er church.

Okay people.

I thought I would let you know that come this Thursday, Melvin, the Benevolent Dictator. will come out of his little kingdom and try his hand/mind at a real time debate - with a full preterist by the name of Don Preston. Here’s the press release announcing the event:

June 26, 2008, 8 PM EDT:

Covenant Radio will be hosting another Eschatology debate between Don Preston and Melvin Jones.  This broadcast will be live as usual at http://live.covenantradio.com)

Debate details:

Don Preston:

Resolved:  The Bible Teaches that the New Heaven and Earth arrived at the time of the passing of the Old Covenant World of Israel at the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

Melvin Jones:

Resolved: The Bible teaches that the New Heaven and Earth is yet future, and will occur at the end of the 1000 year Messianic reign of Christ on the earth.

Mr. Preston is apparently well known in both Preterist and debating circles.  It should be interesting at the very least.

I’m a grandad, again.  Last week, June 18th, at 11:05 pm, Elizabeth Ruth Jones, daughter of William and Cara Jones, came into the world.  She weighed seven pounds, eleven ounces and was twenty inches long.  Though the mother was late and was facing a potential cesarean, she was able to deliver vaginally.

Oh, and apparently William was able to cut the umbilical to launch the child into this life. One umbilical down, one more in about twenty-one years.

Okay folks. I don’t normally write about politics, policy, or government. But things are getting kind of interesting – both here in the United States and abroad (places like Canada, just to the north). Maybe it’s the fact that I’m aging (I’m fifty-six now), or maybe, as I grow in Christ I really start to see things differently. Or maybe stuff is just getting bad. But whatever the reason, I can see more than ever that government is never the answer for much of anything. And if we (the Church) turn to government for solutions of any kind (you know, things like the Faith Based Initiative), we are doomed not only to be disappointed, but to be penalized as well.

Try to guess which country told one of its citizens the following:

“Mr. Boissoin and The Concerned Christian Coalition Inc. shall cease publishing in newspapers, by e-mail, on the radio, in public speeches, or on the Internet, in future, disparaging remarks about gays and homosexuals. Further, they shall not and are prohibited from making disparaging remarks in the future about … Lund or … Lund’s witnesses relating to their involvement in this complaint. Further, all disparaging remarks versus homosexuals are directed to be removed from current Web sites and publications of Mr. Boissoin and The Concerned Christian Coalition Inc,” the lawyer opined.

That’s right! It was Canada, the parliamentary democracy located just to the north of us.

“But Melvin,” you whine plaintively. “Nothing like that could happen here. This is a Christian nation.” That could be. But take a look at this article, also from World Net Daily. Here’s the story’s lead paragraph:

Two college-age men have a verbal disagreement on a public street that escalates to the point one allegedly grabs the other while hollering at him and the other allegedly pushes him away. Now the one accused of doing the “pushing” is charged with a felony hate crime and could face years in jail, according to Peter LaBarbera of the activist group Americans for Truth.

So why is the one who pushed the other away charged with a “hate crime” and facing five years in prison? It’s a hate crime because the one who was pushed is a homosexual.

Canada has gotten to the point that you cannot speak out against homosexuality. It’s not a theoretical possibility. It has happened. One man has been sentenced after being found guilty of “hate speech.” A second is being investigated for exactly the same offense.

Couldn’t happen in the United States you say? Ask Crystal Dixon , the former associate vice president of human resources at the University of Toledo, what she thinks about that. By the way, she was later fired.  This was for expressing an opinion as a private citizen, as a Christian. 

A question: Do you think Joel “Willow Boy” Osteen will ever get in trouble by preaching against homosexuality? Or how about Robert Schuller? Can you imagine either one of them saying “Thus says the Lord…” and preach a less than positive message about any of the outrageous behavior that is now being foisted upon the American people. The only thing Willow Boy was willing to say is that homosexuality is not God’s best for us.

Do you think Fast Eddie Long will preach against homosexuality if his tax exempt status is threatened? Or Creflo – what do you think he will say if asked about homosexuality if interviewed in Canada? He has already refused to take a stand once.  Why, as things get worse there, or here, should he, or those like him be any more willing to stand up for what’s right?

The pimps are not preparing you for the hard times that are surely coming upon us. As our nation moves further and further from the standards of the Bible, and as the government becomes more and more aggressively anti-Christian, it behooves you to find shelter in Christ, not a five bedroom MacMansion , a car you can’t really afford and membership at Club New Birth. I guarantee you the time is coming when men not only will not tolerate sound doctrine, they won’t tolerate your obedience to sound doctrine. Then what are you going to do? Claim that you’re the head and not the tail? I suggest you start memorizing Romans 8:35–39.  Now.

I’ll be out of town for a few days. My sister died several days ago and I am going to the funeral in Atlanta. She’s being cremated.

She became a member of a Baptist church (Woods Memorial Baptist Church in Atlanta) several months ago. I am planning on talking to the pastor to see what membership means to them. While she pretty much rejected Christianity in favor of Oprah’s hellish New Age trash, there is still the possibility…
