BAM - watch them every Tuesday night on our Facebook page. This Week the Jezebel Spirit… and not just women have it. 

August Friday and Saturday 16th 17th End times conference at HillSpring Church sponsored by The David Alliance, 

This past week the NFL Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butler spoke at a commencement and took some heat for his remarks boldly proclaiming a pro-family, pro-God, and pro-life worldview.

The backlash was intense. There were furious columns and very angry tweets. It was discussed and panned by ladies on morning television. The NFL distanced itself from the speech, issuing a statement that “his views are not those of the NFL as an organization.”

And, most righteously, people thought he should be fired. A Change.org petition to “Demand the Kansas City Chiefs to Dismiss Harrison Butker for Discriminatory Remarks” had racked up more than 140,000 signatures by 5 p.m. Thursday (though it’s hard to tell how many are just 49ers fans).

WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST REACTION OVER? 

He praised his wife and Mother for their role in Motherhood and the media trashed him… did they mention his Mother was a physicist… no.  HE PRAISED HIS WIFE FOR BEING THE STAY AT HOME MOTHER WHO MAKES THEIR LIFE POSSIBLE. The The New York Post said “you would have a hard time in any locker room wether it be Muslim or Christian not agreeing with him…. And if you cut all of those NFL Christians and Muslims you surely wouldn’t have enough atheists to fill the rosters. 

BTW - His NFL Jersey skyrocketed in sales. 

In a snapshot this gives such a great picture and insight into what we are facing.
