Two homosexual men sexually assaulted boys they adopted

Two homosexual men who adopted two young boys through a now defunct Christian adoption agency have both been sentenced bv a Georgia court to 100 years in prison for unspeakable crimes committed against the children, as described in Leviticus 18 and 20.

The convicted abusers, Zachary and William Zulock, were homosexual activists in the Atlanta, Georgia area. A full 21% of homosexuals living in sinful relationships have adopted children.

The Mark Regnerus study conducted in 2012 found that 8% of children raised in homosexual homes are victims of incest. Also, keep in mind Bethany Christian Services announced they would place children for adoption into homosexual homes back in 2021, reports Christianity Today.

In-N-Out Burger president unapologetically Christian

And finally, the popular burger joint, In-N-Out, is run by President and CEO Lynsi Snyder who inherited the business when she was just 17 years old. She told PragerU’s Marissa Streit that she has had to rely on God to carry her through. She says that she has chosen some of the Bible verses on the cups and paper-ware used by the fast food restaurant.

When facing persecution, Snyder said this.

SNYDER: “Defending myself and trying to get into that, I just had to lay it down a long time ago. And you know, being a Christian and accepting that persecution, it’s like I’ve doubled down on people judging me.”

Snyder, now 42, noted that God’s Word says that followers of Jesus can expect persecution.

SNYDER: “I mean, it says in the Good Book, that as soon as you align yourself with Jesus, and, you know, go by God’s Word, it’s like you’re making enemies, you know. And so, there’s going to be persecution and I know that if that’s already part of the plan and to be expected.”

Snyder’s company has 410 stores now. In-N-Out is rated #4, and Chick-fil-A is rated #3 on USA Today’s Best Fast Food Restaurant Survey of 2024. On average sales per location In-N-Out is #6 in the nation, and Chick-fil-A still holds the #1 spot, out of 200,000 fast food franchises.

On this New Years Eve 2024, we leave you with 1 Samuel 2:30. It says, “But now the Lord says: ‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.’”
