A Sky Beyond the Storm (An Ember in the Ashes #4) by Sabaa Tahir Razorbill

Picking up just a few months after A Reaper at the Gates left off…

The long-imprisoned jinn are on the attack, wreaking bloody havoc in villages and cities alike. But for the Nightbringer, vengeance on his human foes is just the beginning.

At his side, Commandant Keris Veturia declares herself Empress, and calls for the heads of any and all who defy her rule. At the top of the list? The Blood Shrike and her remaining family.

Laia of Serra, now allied with the Blood Shrike, struggles to recover from the loss of the two people most important to her. Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory–or to an unimaginable doom.

And deep in the Waiting Place, the Soul Catcher seeks only to forget the life–and love–he left behind. Yet doing so means ignoring the trail of murder left by the Nightbringer and his jinn. To uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. He must take on a mission that could save–or destroy–all that he knows. — Cover image and summary via Goodreads

She quickly realizes she may as well be the twin of one of the most notorious young socialites in Beijing.

The Black Friend: On Being a Better White Person by Frederick Joseph Candlewick Press

“We don’t see color.” “I didn’t know Black people liked Star Wars!” “What hood are you from?” For Frederick Joseph, life in a mostly white high school as a smart and increasingly popular transfer student was full of wince-worthy moments that he often simply let go. As he grew older, however, he saw these as missed opportunities not only to stand up for himself, but to spread awareness to the white friends and acquaintances who didn’t see the negative impact they were having and who would change if they knew how.

Speaking directly to the reader, The Black Friend calls up race-related anecdotes from the author’s past, weaving in his thoughts on why they were hurtful and how he might handle things differently now. Each chapter includes the voice of at least one artist or activist, including Tarell Alvin McCraney, screenwriter of Moonlight; April Reign, creator of #OscarsSoWhite; Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give; and eleven others. Touching on everything from cultural appropriation to power dynamics, “reverse racism” to white privilege, microaggressions to the tragic results of overt racism, this book serves as conversation starter, tool kit, and invaluable window into the life of a former “token Black kid” who now presents himself as the friend many of us need. Back matter includes an encyclopedia of racism, providing details on relevant historical events, terminology, and more.

But with her home life and friend troubles quickly spinning out of control–Ellen must fight for the future that she wants, now she’s playing for keeps. — Cover image and summary via Goodreads

A Dog’s Way Home

We watched as a family the movie called A Dog’s Way Home, about a dog trying to find his long way home. The story is told from the perspective of the dog, which is often humorous, sometimes sad, and quite loving. My 11 year old liked it, but he only understood layer one of the movie. I was so happy about that fact, for the real undercurrent story was something else entirely.

Who doesn’t like a good story about a lovable dog right? I wish it was that easy, but that is not the world we live in today. We no longer live in Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. I remember the original Disney The Incredible Journey about 3 pets looking for their master. So innocent, but no longer. We live in a culture now completely saturated with leftist ideology and LGBTQ brainwashing. So much so, that these things happen in front of us on the screen and now in real life without the majority of us even knowing or understanding what is taking place.

The dog’s owner in the movie is a likeable young white guy that eventually falls in love with a beautiful black girl. No problem there. Towards the conclusion, they are shown as a happy married couple. But along our circuitous way in the story, we are served a sometimes subtle and sometimes blatant smorgasbord of Hollywood’s myopic version of leftist America.

The very wimpy dog catcher is called a racist by our young black heroine because he is upholding the law of Denver that says no pitbulls are allowed in the city limits, and that is apparently the breed from which our star dog is derived. We are later given, by a sympathetic lady dog pound employee, a graying of the lines of what a pitbull actually is in reality. This of course gives the audience a reason to ask why is our innocent doggie being chased by the mean old wimpy man.

Later, not to mention the virtue signaling by minority groups in the cast throughout the movie, the wimpy dog catcher is man-handled, or should I say woman-handled by the dog owner’s mother. He is completely overwhelmed by her simply holding his wrist tightly, and her speaking toughly. She tells him that he will allow the doggie to be loaded up in a car, that will take our star far away to the state of New Mexico, so she won’t be caught a second time and euthanized. Yes, by the way, our doggie is a girl, and by the way, most of the likeable people in the movie are females. White guys don’t rate in Hollywood anymore, unless they are LGBTQ or somehow repentant for being a tough guy. Yet, without tough guys there would be no freedom because they fight our wars. Think about that one for a minute.

Moving the dog away from her home, of course, sets up the long distance journey home. Meanwhile, the wimpy dog catcher guy keeps looking at his wrist as if to say to the woman, owe you’re hurting my arm. The tetesterone in me wants to shout out, REALLY? That is all it takes for a law enforcement officer who fights pitbulls for a living to be shaken up and demoralized? Give me a break Hollywood.

By the way, most of the law enforcement in the movie are presented in a negative light for upholding the law. Laws are so passé to the Hollywood left, it makes you wonder why we even have laws in our society. They don’t do anything anyway, but only save lives, protect our private property, provide for the common defense, and keep our country together and in order. Who needs mean old boundaries and borders anyway? We are good without them, right?

Then during the long journey home, we are introduced to the homosexual couple, a white guy and a black guy. We are slowly shown that they aren’t just skiing buddies, but live together; celebrate together with a new bottle of champagne as a gift from one to the other for their book being published; and then we finally see their shiny wedding rings twinkle in the sun. Such a happy couple. There is no touching between them, but the message is loud and clear that this is the new normal for all of us to accept and even to celebrate as we do the marriage of the dog owner and his new pretty wife.

From a Biblical standpoint, this is complete hogwash. I have to wonder though if Christians watching this movie even batted an eye at this Hollywood masterpiece? We have been served up this wrotten feast so often we have become calloused to its true meaning. Face it. Christians have grown up with Ellen Degeneris in their living rooms, and they apparently like it. But for the sake of our children and posterity, we absolutely should do more than bat an apathetic eye. We need a full WAKE UP call to the church!

People, hear me on this. Our choices in life do absolutely have consequences. God tells us in Paul’s letter to the Romans that the homosexual and lesbian relationships, and all things LGBTQ, will end in the utter wrath of God and finally death. We must never forget, but remember what occurred in Sodom and Gomorrah. Before Paul began his ministry to Rome, he laid the Biblical foundation in chapter one by stating the facts boldly. God will give over the homosexual and the lesbian, (and we could add, all the LGBTQ alphabet), to their lusts and passions. The result of this giving over by God, is that their chances of ever recovering from their sexual addictions are slim to none. That is why it is so all important we as Christians need to tow the line, know the Word, and preach the Word in season and out of season.

There are no gray areas here, no ambiguity in Scripture on this issue of LGBTQ. Did you hear that? None whatsoever, Ellen Degeneris not withstanding. I understand there are many so-called Christians today talking about gay orientations and transgender orientations and all the LGBTQ+ alhabet orientations. But it is completelly false, and not even close to what Scripture teaches. LGBTQ is sin period, and there will be no self-identifying LGBTQ person in Heaven. That is a sobering thought. Professing Christian, if you still identify with LGBTQ, you won’t be with the family of God in Heaven. Listen to the Apostle Paul. He is the Christian’s timeless authority on this subject as he was inspired by God to write without error. We don’t need any Scriptural updates from the APA (American Psychological Association), which is human wisdom inspired by doctrines of demons.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”

We wouldn’t ever say there is an adulterer orientation. Or a thief orientation. Or a swindler orientation. Would we? Or any other kind of orientation on this list. Yet, we are being told that there is an exception when it comes to the effeminate and to the homosexual. That God created the LGBTQ person with that identity, even that God blesses them. If so, then we might as well say God created the thief and the swindler, and blesses them; and God will steal you blind when the offering plate is passed next Sunday morning. That is complete nonsense.

Look further on in the passage. Paul goes on to say, “Such were some of you.” Did you notice the past tense? You were once identified this way before you came to Christ, but you are not this anymore. He goes on, “but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”

There is no doubt in the matter, that once Christ washes us from all these sins, that we identify with these sins NO MORE. Therefore, the current popular teaching of supposed LGBTQ orientation is completely false, and dangerous. That is emphatic teaching people. Paul goes on to state in another place.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

So let’s put this LGBTQ orientation teaching to rest people. The only victory for homosexuality is conversion to Jesus Christ period. Remember, it is LGBTQ that are asking for special status, not the others. So they and those that give them theological sanctuary need to hear what Paul is preaching. By the way, some do want to be washed, but the church is now telling them, no you are ok the way you are; you were made by God that way. In California law 2943 was passed that makes conversion therapy for homosexuals illegal. That is completely unbelievable, and what is more unbelievable is so-called Christian conservatives were pushing for this law to be passed, and it did pass both houses.

It is neither right nor good to continue on this false track that will lead no where good, but to our complete demise. There is no LGBTQ orientation, only sin. We should resist both the false gospel of Hollywood, and the false teachers in the church. LGBTQ is in reality a tragic life that is a kind of living death. Yet, we are being brainwashed to believe the total opposite, that it is somehow beautiful with twinkling wedding rings. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Our children absolutely deserve the church to be CRYSTAL CLEAR on our teaching on LGBTQ. Without the true church teaching boldly and courageously the time honored Word of God, our children are DOOMED!. Our children don’t stand a chance if we desert them now at their hour of utmost need. For them to grow up and believe that LGBTQ is normal in the movies and in real life; and being brainwashed to believe by those in the church that there are no consequences for sin, is calling God a liar, and inviting God’s judgment upon us and our nation.

When Abraham asked God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if there were just 10 righteous people, he discovered the stark truth when he rose early the next morning to observe the rising smoke of the cities, and their utter judgment and destruction.

Genesis 19:27-28 “Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord; and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.“

Tragically, there weren’t even 10 people who knew or cared about God’s Word, and even the children were swept up in the fire and brimstone and destroyed along with their wicked fathers and mothers.

What will we as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and parents of our dear little ones decide? Are the children precious to us enough to stand and fight against the tidal wave of luke warm and compromised Christianity? Or will Christ spew us out of His mouth because we were neither hot nor cold? I beg you to join the fight, and raise the banner of truth in front of an evil and perverse generation before it is too late, even when that means confronting a hostile world and a denomination given over to heresy. Wake up church!
