“A new children’s book of Bible stories claims that the Bible has “made-up” stories and events in its pages, drawing criticism from a leading Evangelical parachurch ministry. 

The Just Love Story Bible, authored by Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Dr. Shannon Daley-Harris, reimagines 52 stories from the Old and New Testaments, weaving in gender ideology, LGBT and social justice themes.

Featuring illustrations by artist Cheryl “Ras” Thuesday, the “justice-oriented” story Bible depicts characters in “rich shades of brown” along with “cultural, religious, and historical context to help kids learn about the experiences of people in ancient times,” including a reimagined version of the book of Genesis, which the authors claims was written not only by Moses but by “lots of different storytellers.”

In the book’s introduction to Genesis, the authors, who are part of the Presbyterian Church (USA), write, “Some of the stories had made-up characters and events. Others were about real people and things that really happened.”

…On her church’s website, Lewis describes her congregation as “a Christian universalist, multicultural, multiethnic rainbow coalition,” where she advocates for “global peace, racial equality, religious freedom, gun control, economic justice, equal rights for all genders/sexual orientations, and marriage equality.” (Courtesy ChristianPost.com)

A Christian “Church” who believes that the Bible is NOT the Word of God is not a CHRISTIAN Church,

It can call itself a Social Justice Center.

It can call itself a Tabernacle of Wokeness.

However, if you devalue the Bible, the Holy Scriptures which are a “two-edged sword” and the key to learning about the foundation of the Christian Faith, then you are studying modern culture and not the history of the Hebrew people and the House of David, from whose lineage came Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.

Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and even some Southern Baptists have allowed popular culture to change their focus from God’s Word to man’s politics.

“Wokeness” has taken the place of “Righteousness”.

The rise of “Wokeness” within Christian Churches is something that is literally tearing apart the fabric of our country.

The only conclusion that I, as a Christian American, can reach is the fact that our Sovereign Nation continues to be in the midst of SPIRITUAL WARFARE for its very soul.

Make no mistake about it, boys and girls, EVIL EXISTS.

My friends, I believe that we are fighting a war against “princes and principalities”. Evil is still alive and well and flourishing in a world in which relative morality and situational ethics are increasingly being accepted as normal behavior.

We see it every day around us.

Churches used to be a place to refresh the soul and to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit through corporate worship.

Too many have become concert venues and political rallies.

That is one reason why Charlie Kirk was so popular among young people. They were seeking biblical truth, and he explained it to them.

Now, those young people whose lives he touched and who’s Ministry is continuing to touch, are buying Bibles and reading for themselves.

And, the same young people are seeking Church homes that are biblically sound.

I pray that they find them.

Christians repent of their sins. They don’t celebrate them.

At least, they didn’t use to.

Until He Comes,
