“And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israsel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou,… [hast troubled Israel…] (1 Kings 18)
“And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh…” (Exodus7)
“And all they in the synagogue…rose up, anmd thrust [H]im out of the city, and led [H]im unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast [H]im down [H]eadlong.” (Luke 4)
While it is true, there is great persecution in other parts of the world, there is little to speak of in the west. This speaks to a sleepy, indifferent, or an enemic church. With the exception of men like John MacArthur, Franklin Graham, and Jeffries, a Pastor and Fox News contributor that has his weaknesses there is very little holy rebellion in this country. Now, I know that there are Christ-ian preachers and little known church pastors, and Home preachers like myself that do keep the faith and do cry out for Righteousness’ sake, but we have no outlet other than blogs and Youtube. And even with these outlets, no one is being stirred up with righteous indignation.
Good grief, even a leftist like Bob Beckel (who I must say is a descent, moral and maybe even Christ-ian man) asks where the American preachers are. With all the wickedness of (s)atan’s Islamic death cult in full display, no one but the men I have named and the little known ministers are saying anything!!!
I know full and well, as I have written before, God is in control and all of this is going according to His purposes but this does not excuse the church’s silence. God told Jeremiah that no one would listen to him and that his ministry would not see much fruit, but God called him to prophesy and to preach anyway. God intended to save only Noah and (7) seven others during the flood but Noah still preached God’s Righteousness and coming judgement. Some know that God will save His elect in His time and in His way, yet we preach the Gospel to all creatures. Even though we know the end of God’s play, we must still play our parts. Even though we may know the outcome of a movie we still find ourselves hoping it will be different this time!!!
To understand what I’m ranting about, rent or purchase the movie, “Luther” that has Joseph Fiennes in the role of Luther and you will see a nation that is passionate about religion. In Luke (4) four, quoted above you find a people doing wrong, but are passionate about God and religion. I cannot tolerate the cult of the jehovah’s Witnesses. I challenge them, flout them, and run them off each and every opportunity God gives me. I know they will be judged harshly for adding to Scripture, subtracting from Scripture, deceiving many, and taking God’s great Name in vain, but at least they are passionate about their wicked lies and beliefs.
The same can be said about (s)atans death cult of Islam. Of course it is a vile and wicked religious cult, of course they deceive and are deceived,of course, they will be made to drink from God’s cup of wrath, but again, at the very least they have passion as wicked as it is.
Let me be clear as the Chrysal sea, I am not complimenting or praising the cults listed above. I only point out that they have a passion that the American Christ-ian church does not.
I do not brag upon myself and i am not glorying in my flesh when i say i am so thankful for a boldness that God has given me. Anyone that has known me in the past could tell you I have always had a quiet and reserved nature. In all of the personality tests I have ever taken, i was always classified as reserved and complient, the farthest thing from an “Alpha male.” One who detests confrontation.
Anyone that knows me now can tell you that has all changed. God has downloaded, infused, released with me a spiritual and very vocal boldness. I am so thankful for that and I did pray for that for at least (15) fifteen years. I dare not take any ounce of credit for any boldness that I have, all glory goes to God’s gifting Alone.
Due to this recently given boldness or liberty may be a reason I can see the indifference of the Christ-ian church so plainly. I can liken it or explain it with an analogy: Years ago I began to study logic, clear thinking, and critical thinking. This was a blessing and a curse. A blessing in that i could use my mind, my thinking, my thoughts, my emotions, etc. better. A curse in that I could now recognize the lack of logic, clear and critical thinking others did not use.
I am sorry to see the indifference of the church and i am also sorry to know that it will take tribulation, trials, and persecution to stir us up. How do I know this? I know this from Scripture history and i recognize this as a pattern of God’s people.
Godspeed.
