ANDREW THORBURN is NOT the Posterboy for the Persecuted Church

 

ANDREW THORBURN 

Even though I knew it would happen, I have quickly become tired of hearing about Australian businessman, Andrew Thorburn. , who lost his job IN ONE DAY in his new role as the head of the  AFL (Australian Football League) team in Essendon (a suburb of Melbourne). This is due to the fact he is a member of the City on a Hill church. Now he has become the poster boy for Religious Freedom and the persecution of Christians in western society. Firstly in Australia, but now the American conservative Church people have leaped on this in a HUGE way. Including many of the people, I associate with.

Let's use some discernment and basic common sense in the matter by examining Thorburn's own words.

Statement from Andrew Thorburn in which I have highlighted certain phrases.

"Yesterday was one of the proudest days of my life. To be offered the role of CEO of the 

Essendon Football Club - who I have followed since I was a boy - was a profound honour. At last night’s Crichton medal, I could hardly contain my passion and wonder at the opportunity. 

I love the club, love the people, and was incredibly excited about the work ahead. I had seen a picture of a club that was not as broken as feared, and that with leadership and focus could rebound strongly. 

However, today it became clear to me that my personal Christian faith is not tolerated or permitted in the public square, at least by some and perhaps by many. I was being required to compromise beyond a level that my conscience allowed. People should be able to hold different views on complex personal and moral matters and be able to live and work together, even with those differences, and always with respect. Behaviour is the key. This is all an important part of a tolerant and diverse society. 

Let me be clear - I love all people and have always promoted and lived an inclusive, diverse, 

respectful and supportive workplace - where people are welcome regardless of their

culture, religious beliefs, and sexual orientation. I believe my record over a long period of time testifies to this.

Despite my own leadership record, within hours of my appointment being announced, the 

media and leaders of our community had spoken. They made it clear that my Christian faith 

and my association with a Church is unacceptable in our culture if you wish to hold a leadership position in society.

This grieves me greatly - though not just for myself, but for our society overall. I believe we are poorer for the loss of our great freedoms of thought, conscience and belief that made for a truly diverse, just and respectful community.

My faith is central to who I am. Since coming to faith in Jesus 20 years ago, I have seen profound changes in my life, and I believe God has made me a better husband, father, and friend. It has also helped me become a better leader. That is because at the centre of my faith is the belief that you should create a community and care for people because they are created by and loved by God and have a deep intrinsic value. 

As it happens, I do sometimes disagree with things I hear in church - but I believe strongly in 

the right of people to say them, especially when taken in context. Reducing complex matters 

to a sentence is dangerous. Australia has a long tradition of diversity and religious freedom, 

and that must include preserving space for religious people to be able to express their religious beliefs. 

I am saddened by these events. I wish the Club success and thank Dave Barham in 

particular for the opportunity he gave me. I hope the external review leads to great change. I 

am truly sorry that I will not be able to work with the whole Essendon team, and Brad Scott 

and Josh Mahoney in particular. 

4 October 2022"

Whew. 😓

Now, as a behaviourist, I could spend HOURS unpacking this line by line but I will spare you my yakity-yak, (for the time being). 

The highlights are these:

"not tolerated or permitted in the public square, at least by some and perhaps by many".

Not tolerated by some. Who are these "some"  people in the public square? Well, Thorburn mentions them later in his statement. 

"media and leaders of our community" 

But not his new bosses?

"I was being required to compromise."

HOW were you being REQUIRED to compromise? You were only on the job one day?

Plus, Thorburn said he has been following this team since he was a boy AND he has been a prominent businessman for many years. Didn't he bother to find out what this new job would require of him BEFORE he took it?

Also, keep in mind he "resigned" and "stepped down" himself. He wasn't dismissed or fired.

Now there is this massive controversy surrounding him where the Christian Right is pitted against the Atheist Left (woke) people and a week ago most people had NO IDEA who Andrew Thorburn was (including myself)! 🤨

Can anybody say, 

"I want attention"? 

Can anybody say, 

" Here's a great P.R. opportunity."

Can anybody say, 

"I will make my name known everywhere even though I'm just living in a suburb in Australia."

Can anybody say, 

"I have big political aspirations."

What do I say?

Something is super hinky here. My warning bells are sounding in a BIG way! 

I simply want to warn you to DIG DEEPER and don't jump on a "bandwagon" (even if it is heading in the direction you want to go.)

Keep your eyes on Andrew Thorburn but keep your mouth shut for now.

Use discernment, get some more information on the topic and (as always) keep your nose in the Bible and your focus on CHRIST ALONE. It is only His  motives and character that are forever TRUE.

As I also seek to follow and obey Him by speaking...

The Truth, with Love,

Always, Laura-Lee 😔. 🙋🏻‍♀️✝🇨🇦❤

My suggestion is that you take another look at Israel Folau if you need a "poster boy"  who was actually dismissed because he posted a Bible verse on Twitter. He didn't QUIT or purposely seek lots of media attention. 

Plus, he is much sweeter, more genuine and nicer to look at. 😉

I Feel Like a Beaten Bride

 TOTAL HONESTY TIME for those of us who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture.

My third sleepless night in a row due to sickness. Having massive problems trying to accomplish basic life tasks. Financial problems. Family problems. Isolated in my home. Haven't felt the touch of another human in two years. Haven't heard my name spoken out loud any more than 5 or 6 times in two years. Fighting anxiety and discouragement on an hourly basis.

Some of the most sick, evil, and perverse things I've encountered in 50 years swim around me daily and the vast majority people thinking all this horrible stuff is GOOD. 

Those of us Pre-Trib-ers who believe we are not meant to "suffer God's wrath" and will be "caught up" BEFORE the 7-year Tribulation LOVE to quote Ed Hindson who said, "Jesus does not beat up His Bride before the wedding!" But the past couple of days I've been thinking, "Maybe not, but it seems to me the Lord is just standing by and WATCHING His Bride being beaten up and NOT intervening."

Be honest. Have you been feeling the same way?

It makes me think of the "Left Behind" series of books and films. They depict the total chaos that happens after the Christians are removed from earth. But the way things are RIGHT NOW, while we are STILL HERE, is WAY worse than anything in the stories. I bet even Kirk Cameron is thinking how much worse things have gotten than anything shown in his movies.

I don't know why we're still here. I don't know why Jesus hasn't come for us yet. But I DO know I want Him to come like I never have before and maybe that is at the heart of the point.

Let's look at the last words the apostle Paul wrote before his death. 

"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have LOVED HIS APPEARING." (2 Timothy 4:1-8)

In other English translations, it says, "LONGED for his appearing."

I know I do. When Jesus calls me he will NOT have to do it twice.

I remember when I was a kid playing outside with my friends and darkness would be falling fast and then I would hear Mom call loudly into our neighbourhood, "Time to come home Laura-Lee!" She'd flick on the porch light to help me find my way and I'd see the warm lights from our windows beaming out their welcome. I didn't have to be called twice then either.

I miss the old types of clocks that ticked. Even when everything was silent throughout the night they were a constant reminder that time was passing.

God is not "tarrying". He has a specific and set time to retrieve us and the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks and months continue to pass by. Like Paul, our end is coming but for those who hold fast to Jesus until the end we will be given a new and glorious new beginning. Jesus has made this promise to us and I know, after 44 years of following Him, that He NEVER breaks a promise. 

 

  "9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him." (2 Peter 3:9-15)

I'm ready for my imminent departure. Are you?

Raising the Standard: What Does Your Flag Mean?

 

At my "little Christian high school", Vancouver Christian Secondary School (which I have made famous from all the stories I've told about it through the years), the Canadian flag had to be raised on the flag pole every morning then taken down at the end of every school day.

In my final year at VCSS there were no guys who volunteered to do this so my friend Kim and I glanced at each other, exchanged knowing looks, and raised up our hands. There was nobody else so we did it EVERY DAY through the entire school year!

It was quite a commitment. It required we got there early every morning, get out a ladder, hook up the flag, hoist it up the pole, hook up the rope, then bring the ladder back.

THEN we had to do the reverse at the end of the day. Of course, Kim and I always sang "O, Canada" while standing at attention each time. Twice a day. Even on those many cold, rainy, Vancouver winter days. (BTW it rains 400 days out of every year in Vancouver.)

For me personally, because I had to take two buses to school and back, it meant getting up 30 minutes earlier and getting home from school 30 minutes later. But the good thing is that I spent a great deal thinking about Canada, our flag and what my country meant to me.

And on the days when I was wet and cold and in the rain, hauling a ladder around and felt like complaining because of the "massive sacrifice" I was making, the Lord RE-focused me on the men who actually went to war and DIED for the things I was enjoying. Oh, like say, FREEDOM!

Now you understand a bit better why I do NOT wish to merely surrender CANADA into the hands of a few, uber-rich, global elites none of whom were voted into power.

Have you ever taken a moment to literally raise and display YOUR country's flag? 

Have you even taken a few moments to look at it recently and think about what your country means to you? 

Will you just allow it to be handed over and out of existence for the sake of "getting a normal life back"? (Which, BTW, is never going to happen. Our lives are forever altered and those in charge have either no ability or intention of helping you.)

Think about it.

Truth, with Love,

Always, Laura-Lee 

"So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59:19)

  

Flag at Vancouver Christian School these days.

It looks VERY different to the one-story, previously uninhabited, former elementary school that we had. 

Ah. The good ol' days. 😊

My Grad class of 1985 meeting for a reunion 35 YEARS later!

That's "Kimmie".

Y'all look pretty good for your age, I must say. 😲

WWMD? What Would Mom Do?

 

I attended a small, Christian High School from grade 8 to grade 12 and it was governed by a Board of Directors. Through the years this board was predominantly made up of the Baptist and Christian Reformed Ministers who were the parents of the kids I went to school with. 

I was on Student Council for two years, both in grade 10 and again in grade 12 and I remember The Board was the bane of my existence. We were forever trying to get simple things like a Square Dance or a trip to the Roller Skating rink the thumbs up, but The Board was like a massive wall of resistance because they considered these activities "too worldly" for their children to take part in.

I often think of The Board these days and of all the parents of my friends and classmates that I came to know throughout my five years at Vancouver Christian Secondary School.  I also remember the teachers I had who influenced me and made an impact on my growing up years, which I still feel even to this day. Almost all of them are dead now and we, their children and grandchildren, have taken the "top rung" in our world and society.

What would they say if they if they knew children were being given puberty blockers at the age of 10 which would forever change their bodies and render them sterile?

 Or if they knew teenagers were allowed to have their genitals cut off by a surgeon without their parents knowledge? 

Or if the school curriculum taught that there was no such thing as boys and girls and that gender was fluid and "assigned at birth"? 

Or if drag queens were telling stories to preschoolers or entertaining their aged parents in nursing homes?

Or if marxists agendas were being pushed on society non-stop?

Or the government had illegal access to all our medical files?

Or if JUST ONE Minister was sitting in jail because he had the audacity to keep the doors of his church open and keep preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to whomever wished to hear it?

Or if there was a satanist temple operating unhindered in every major city and large town? 

Or if abortions were free to women of any age right up until birth?

Would they be fearful of cancel culture or that some people would stop "Liking" them?

I grew up without a father present and my mother was in a wheelchair before she was even fifty years old however,

 if Mom had access to the internet and a WORLD wide audience through social media and could make her opinions known at the simple touch of a screen, she would NOT be posting about the weather or sharing photos of her latest meal.

I don't know what your parents would be doing, but I know my own sweet, compassionate, big-hearted, meek, little, Christian mother would be ...

PROTESTING ... THE ... SH*T  OUT THESE THINGS!!!

Have a pleasant Sabbath Day rest everybody.

Who is ROE in Roe v. Wade?

 Supreme Court of the United States

Once again we are on the cusp of another "landmark" decision in the Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life battle as the Supreme Court of the United States seems ready to overturn the decision of "Roe v. Wade". The media, the Internet and everyone on Social Media have their thumbs itching and ready to weigh in and are already in a frenzy over it. But I thought I would take a different path.

I wanted to bring this into a more personal and relatable realm and share with you some of the details I have learned about Norma McCorvey (the "Roe" in Roe v. Wade) and her daughter, Shelley (also known as "The Roe Baby"). I have consciously and actively watched these events transpire over the past forty-five years and have attempted to get to the ultimate truth of these things. But I have also seen many times people think something political will change things that actually have much deeper roots; a person's heart and beliefs. 

As always with me, I hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

WHO IS ROE in "ROE v. WADE"?

IMAGE FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES.

Norma McCorvey, née Norma Lea Nelson, also known as Jane Roe, (born September 22, 1947, Simmesport, Louisiana, U.S.—died February 18, 2017, Katy, Texas).

 American activist who was the original plaintiff (anonymized as Jane Roe) in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade (1973), which made abortion legal throughout the United States.

Born: September 22, 1947 Louisiana

Died: February 18, 2017 (aged 69) Texas

"McCorvey grew up in Texas, the daughter of a single alcoholic mother. She got into trouble frequently and at one point was sent to a reform school. She married and became pregnant at 16 but divorced before the child was born; she subsequently relinquished custody of the child to her mother. 

In 1967 she gave up a second child for adoption immediately after giving birth. 

When she became pregnant again in 1969, she wanted to have an abortion. In Texas at the time, such a procedure was legal only if the mother’s life would be endangered by carrying the pregnancy to term. McCorvey was referred to feminist lawyers Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington, who had been seeking just such a client to challenge the laws restricting access to abortion.

McCorvey was hoping that she would quickly gain permission to receive an abortion, but she was unsuccessful. Coffee and Weddington changed the case to a class-action suit, and, by the time a ruling was made by a federal three-judge panel in June that the Texas law against abortion was unconstitutional, McCorvey had given birth and again given up the infant for adoption.

 The state of Texas appealed, and in 1973 the Supreme Court ruled that during the first trimester of pregnancy a pregnant woman did have the right to have an abortion “free of interference by the State.”

In the early 1980s she began volunteering at an abortion clinic and also began speaking out in favour of the right to choose, becoming increasingly well known. 

Norma - the Pro-Life years.

However, in 1995 McCorvey befriended Philip Benham, head of the aggressive pro-life organization  Operation Rescue  and she soon began campaigning AGAINST the right to abortion. In 1998 she converted to Roman Catholicism after coming under the influence of Frank Pavone, who led the pro-life Priests for Life. 

But in the documentary "AKA Jane Roe" (2020), a dying McCorvey claimed that she had been paid by anti-abortion groups to support their cause."

MY COMMENTS:

McCorvey was all over the place! Getting pregnant, handing her kids over to others, wanting a quick abortion to rid herself of another baby, later openly living as a lesbian with as many women as she had previously had men, yielding to whatever ideology would get her acceptance or just plain cold, hard cash.

Yet her self-serving actions had consequences causing turmoil, chaos and massive amounts of DEATH.

Let that be a lesson to all of us when we think what we do and how we behave won't affect anyone but ourselves. For GOOD or BAD, actions have consequences.

And if you think all that is a messed up life of "gooble-dee-goop", read how it affected her daughter, Shelley (aka. "The Roe Baby"), as she discovers who her real mother is, lives in the middle of a tug-of-war between Pro-Choice and Pro-Life movements and their PR machines, and becomes a target and fodder for yellow journalism.

Image of  daughter, SHELLEY, (aka. "The Roe Baby")

After being married and a mother herself and faced with the imminent death of her birth mother, the article in The Atlantic ends this way.

"Shelley had long held a private hope, she said, that Norma would one day “feel something for another human being, especially for one she brought into this world.” Now that Norma was dying, Shelley felt that desire acutely. “I want her to experience this joy—the good that it brings,” she told me. “I have wished that for her forever and have never told anyone.”

But Shelley let the hours pass on that winter’s day. And then it was too late.

From Shelley’s perspective, it was clear that if she, the Roe baby, could be said to represent anything, it was not the sanctity of life but the difficulty of being born unwanted."

For those of you who believe you are still capable of sitting on the fence about this issue I must inform you that you are not. Now that science has caught up and the question of  "Is it life or potential life?" is moot, because we can now see into the womb and know it's a baby, the decision has become only one of two options.

Which right is the greater one? The baby's right to live or the mother's right to kill it.

LINK David Jeremiah describes Millennial Kingdom

Weird. I always pictured "Lilies of the Field" as all white. THIS makes more sense Biblically.

"And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles* seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

(Matthew 6:28-32) * "Gentiles" in this context refers to any non-Believer.

HAPPY EASTER! (2022)

said

 

I AM going to celebrate this day starting with a memory and a song.

It was on Easter morning of 2012 that Mom and I were slogging our carcasses out of bed and heading for the coffee maker when I flipped on the TV on the way to the kitchen. We had the channel set on the only Christian channel in Canada at the time and I could hear in the background a church service taking place. I looked at the clock and realized it was Charles Price and it was just beginning. He prayed and then welcomed "Keith and Kristyn Getty", whom I had never heard of before.

By then Mom had worked her way onto the couch with her cup of coffee and her walker in tow. She was just making herself comfortable and I was grabbing my stuff when the music began...

"Creation sings the Father's song.

He calls the sun to wake the dawn ..."

It was an amazing live version of that song (that I haven't been able to find since.)

When it was complete both Mom and I were completely awake and our eyes were glistening with tears. She turned to me and said what Mom says to me every Easter morning, "Next year in Jerusalem, Laura-Lee!" as we both anticipate the return of Jesus to the earth to set up His physical Kingdom here and reign from His throne in Jerusalem.

I didn't know it at the time but that was the last earthly Easter I shared with Mom. She died in March of 2013. That year at Easter, less than a month after her death and deep in grief, I still had the presence of mind to play that song again which I possessed having downloaded the entire album it came from. "Awaken the Dawn". And when the song had finished I knew again the reality of the words,

"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.

 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 

18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."

 (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

NOW that we are actually in the End Times, witnessing the final days of life on earth as we know it and anticipating being "caught up together" (aka. The Rapture) at any moment, those words are on my tongue DAILY!

I hope and pray to see ALL of you "Next year in Jerusalem!"

I'll be easy to spot. I'll be the one standing with my arm wrapped around my Mom.

Always, Laura-Lee 

LINK "Creation Sings the Father's Song" (Lyric video)

LYRICS:

"Creation sings the Father's song; He calls the sun to wake the dawn

And run the course of day 'till evening falls in crimson rays.

His fingerprints in flakes of snow, His breath upon this spinning globe,

He charts the eagle's flight; commands the newborn baby's cry.

Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,

"Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship;

Tell the wonders of creation's King.

Creation gazed upon His face; the ageless One in time's embrace

Unveiled the Father's plan of reconciling God and man.

A second Adam walked the earth, whose blameless life would break the curse,

Whose death would set us free to live with Him eternally.

Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,

"Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship;

Tell the wonders of creation's King.

Creation longs for His return, when Christ shall reign upon the earth;

The bitter wars that rage are birth pains of a coming age.

When He renews the land and sky, all heaven will sing and earth reply

With one resplendent theme: the glory of our God and King!

Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,

"Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship;

Tell the wonders of creation's King.

Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,

"Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship;

Tell the wonders of creation's King.

Fill the earth with songs of worship;

Tell the wonders of creation's King."
