Last week, Michael Paulson of The New York Times asked Pastor Brian Houston, founder of the Hillsong movement (which now has congregations in California and New York), “Can your pastors preside at same-sex marriages?” Pastor Houston replied (in part), “It can be challenging for churches to stay relevant.

Tranny tyranny. Strike that. “LGBT” tyranny. Lesbian, gay, bisexual tyranny. That, generally speaking, is what’s on display in Houston right now.

Houstonians elected themselves, as mayor, an extremist lesbian Democrat (but I
The following is a response from Tony Perkins after Houston Mayor Annise Parker agreed to revise subpoenas against pastors that drop the word “sermons” but retain the demand for 17 different categories of information—including speeches by the pastors, emails, text messages and other private communications within the church.

Pastors in Houston are fighting back against an attempt by the mayor to silence them from the pulpit. Some have been told to provide the government with their sermons.

A few weeks ago, I asked this question: Is the deadly Ebola outbreak the first bowl of ‘Revelation’ judgment? The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa an international public-health emergency. Liberia’s church leaders are claiming the deadly outbreak is a plague God has sent to punish the nation for “immoral
It says something about the depths of worldwide revulsion to the self-proclaimed “Islamic State” that Western powers such as the US and the UK have been sitting at the same table with Iran to discuss how to defeat the deadly Islamist movement that has taken control of a large part of Iraq and Syria. The
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Albert Mohler declared from his blog in June, “There is no third way on [same-sex issues].” But Brian Houston, pastor of Hillsong Church, a global family of congregations comprising more than 30,000 weekly attendees and millions of worship-music album sales, apparently disagrees with Mohler.

The city of Houston has issued a wake-up call to all freedom-loving Americans by ordering pastors to turn over their sermons and any staff communications dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Mayor Annise Parker.
