CHRIST OF THE OZARKS
In 1966 the same person who chiseled out the four presidents on Mt. Rushmore, sculpted a 66 foot statue of Jesus Christ, called “Christ of the Ozarks.” That statue stands on top of Magnetic Mountain overlooking the town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Modern day Eureka Springs wants to be a magnet to attract a diversified tourist clientele. This diversification includes pandering to perversions of all sort, much like brazen immorality of the inhabitants of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah.
SIN IN THE CITY
You could easily see the parallels between Eureka Springs and America. The current assault on American culture by the radial leftists in nearly every walk and area of life is similar to what has happened to this predominantly Christian Southern town.
Moreover, Eureka Springs may be a microcosm of America yesterday and today. Eureka Springs was once almost exclusively a Christian oriented and influenced place marked by a bountiful and beautiful land and many natural resources. But it let a few evil people subvert it. The Christian culture was spoiled and soiled by an amoral non-Christian ungodly political leadership.
Much like America has been negatively impacted by the immorality and violence streaming out of Hollywood, by the secular-humanistic religion of academia being taught to our children and by the leftist ideology of the leaders of the Democrat Party governing the laws coming out of Congress, and by the rulings of radical out-of-control activist judges being forced on our nation. A city and a nation are being corrupted by the evils of “diversity” and “tolerance” as well as personal immorality or sin.
It seems that every form of perversion is embraced by this culture. As a whole, Judeo-Christian virtues and values are rejected and are not tolerated at all. Ironically everyone and everything is politically correct except Almighty God and Jesus Christ and their followers
FILTHY LUCRE
Eureka Springs’ political leaders have compromised their community’s values in order to make a buck. Essentially the politicians have replaced Almighty God with the almighty dollar. Eureka Springs now offers a "domestic partnership registry" apparently for same-sex "couples". Eureka Springs advertises itself as offering among other things history, peace and sex. There is a deliberate pandering to and for the homosexual and lesbian dollar.
MORAL & SPIRITUAL POLLUTION
All of this “diversity” is having the affect of driving families and Christians from this once predominant and prominent Christian and family orientated vacation destination. The Great Passion Play has lost a lot of business because of the change of emphasis and the remaking of the town by the Mayor and the councilpersons. Eureka Springs has become an unfriendly and uncomfortable environment for Christian oriented visitors. This is an example of choosing profits over principles.
Eureka Springs even boasts of an active Metropolitan Community Church serving the “spiritual” needs of [homosexual] and lesbian ‘Christians’. These un-Christian congregations are located primarily in larger cities. "Come to Eureka Springs — the most homosexual city in the South," claims Rev. Philip Wilson the pastor of the First Christian Church in Eureka Springs. This says a lot about the "First Christian Chruch" and allot about "Reverend" Wilson as well, does it not?
MARKETING OF EVIL
There is a book titled, “The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised As Freedom,” which describes the product a few key influencers have attempted effectively to sell America. Likewise, Eureka Springs’ Mayor, politicians and marketers are selling out their community. Here is a bit of the “marketing” of evil as seen on the Eureka Springs dot com website.
.
.Eureka Springs is known by many names: Haven for the State's Eccentrics. The place where misfits fit. The hole in the Bible Belt where the buckle goes through. And then there's our personal favorite: America's Largest Open Air Asylum. Sometimes people ask us, "Is it true that Eureka Springs is a haven for gays & lesbians?" Well, yes. Eureka Springs is also a haven for families, church groups, astrologers, lawyers, artists, musicians, accountants ... we're a diverse community, in every sense of the word.Businesses listed in this section include our favorite resources for alternative healing, alternative spirituality, [homosexual] friendly lodging, commitment [???] ceremony & Holy Union providers, plus businesses who specifically asked to be in this section because they want you to know they are committed to treating ALL people with dignity and respect.
RESTORING AMERICA, RESTORING EUREKA SPRINGS
It is not too late. Purge the politicians who bring the obscene on the scene both in Eureka Springs and in America. God save Eureka Springs. God save the Untied States of America.
You're a bit behind. The website you quoted was written over a decade ago. Eureka has been welcoming and hosting Diversity events for over 20 years now. Heck, even the Passion Play employs gay folks...even a gay Jesus over the years.
ReplyDeleteEureka welcomes ALL !!
Shame on them!
ReplyDeleteWe are all God's children. Does God make a mistake? I think not. If all the narrow-minded hypocrites would just open their eyes, we would all love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Isn't that the most important thing? Did Jesus tell us to hate anybody? I don't know why so-called Christians are so afraid of homosexuals. They are our brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, friends and neighbors. As my momma always told me, "It never hurts to be polite." Leave the name calling in the gutter.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but we are NOT all children of God. God does not make mistakes. He DOES NOT make people homosexual. The environment or some sexual abuse or peer pressure may have influenced a persons ultimate choice to behave in an immoral fashion. But please don't blame God. God is Holy and Pure Himself and expects the same from us.
We cannot live up to His high expectation and standard. That is precisely why he sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the price for our falleness, our depravity. Jesus is the only way to God. Acknowledgement that we are sinners is the first step. We all are equal in terms of our sinfulness.
It is only when we give our lives completely to God that we can be considered children of God. Not all men are children of God. It is a popular notion, but it is a lie nonetheless.
God calls homosexuality, adultery, theft, lying, and murder sin. Who are you or I to "approve" of immoral behavior that God loathes?
I agree, we are commanded, yes encouraged by Jesus' example and life to love everyone. But we are also told to sin not.
God bless you, Max.
