a very strong analysis that most people are
unaware of, simply put, only 7% of Muslim's
interviewed in a recent Gallup Poll said they
believe the 9/11 terrorist attacks were justified.
Think about that, 93% of Muslim's believe the
terrorists were wrong and horrific,
only 7% believed otherwise, and yet,
we totally and without much thought
condemn Islam? How many Christian's,
it ought to be asked, would think that
a Holy War were justified today, by
Christian's against enemies who did
not believe in Jehovah God? Where
does the spirit of war come from?
Maybe we should first ask, is there
even such a thing as, the spirit of war?
Well, let me ask you this, suppose that
there were specific and dynamic proofs of
such, and, would you be willing to take
part in finding them out, even if it cost you?
John Eldredge, popular author of such
works as "Wild at Heart," and other
works, about the heart, says in his
work "The Way of the Wild Heart,"
speaks of "God has set his warrior
heart in every man." (pg. 146)
As I look around me at men in their 50's,
my question is, "where's the fight in you?"
I've all but given up the fight myself;
it takes every bit of my spiritual,
mental and physical strength to stay
faithful to God- because the world
is shredding that faith. If you agree with
that - would you also agree that sometimes
offering support to those who are both
studying and reporting on that fight
against that enemy might mean doing
so outside the normal church channels?
Maybe even a committment to support
someone writing each day about such?
We will talk about that later - just wanted
to ask you that question?
We trust in everything else, at times,
except, trusting in God -
especially in America, where
we have so much "else", but also
in the rest of the world. The figures are true,
I'm certain, which James Denison in his
"God Issues," blog is presenting about
the numbers being "born again," in the
other parts of the world except
Canada and the United States are
like, and yet in all, what
representation of the total
population of those countries do those numbers
illustrate? And to be certain,
how many of them are young
people up to the age of twenty? You see
what everyone realizes but won't address
has been started by youth, including, Christ
and the disciples, who, almost to a man were
in their teens, to late teens. Isn't this information
which you would find useful if you were
trying to convince someone to wake up
to the very real danger we face?
You realize that's a hard question,
but my reason for it is this, we are
taught by the world to trust science
to cure our ills; and that if we don't,
we are foolish. We are taught to be
self reliant, not God reliant, and we
are taught to believe in what we see,
not what we cannot see, but what
should be (Hebrews chapter 11 calls this "faith")
- so my point is, faith is being assailed,
and trust in God will fall shortly behind it.
So what is one thing that a person who
knows such can do?
Glenn Beck of Fox News has now moved
into the lamplight of being called to
identify the evils which he sees,
yet sadly, many people are missing
the connection Beck is making with
the profound lessons of history;
as we in the America's yawn our
way through another half committed
day of doing whatever we are told
to keep our jobs, because goodness
knows our economy needs that;
so where's our focus there?
As we yawn our way through another day,
we are being set up for the roast,
we are being led astray, and the
forces which are doing so
are Biblical in proportion.
I witnessed a video of a young person
attacking a Bible scholar, they were
using every invective in the world
against this brilliant man; my writing
to them said simply this, "why do you
choose to defeat the sound points
of your argument by the use of such
limited language, so that, even if one
were to believe your points, they would
soundly choose to disregard them because
of your obvious hatred in presenting them."
I wonder when Christian's today,
when we, today, mutter under our breath,
"well they just need to get "born again,"
how much different are we? Why should
anyone listen to what we have to say?
Who is in charge of your day today?
Do you believe? Do you believe it is free will,
which would be you, rather than God?
Or, have you decided to listen to love,
that would be God?
