America’s Modern Holocaust

Posted on Oct 12, 2018 in abortion, church, forgiveness | Tags: abortion, holocaust0

There is the testimony of a Christian that lived in Germany during the Holocaust. He said they heard the stories of what was happening to the Jews but they tried distancing themselves from it because, what could anyone do to stop it?

A railroad track ran behind his small church and each Sunday morning the church could hear the whistle of a train as it approached and then the wheels coming over the tracks. As the trains would pass, they could hear cries and screams coming from the railcars as the trains passed by. They soon realized it was Jews like cattle in the cars! Week after week the whistle would blow.

They soon come to dread the blast of whistle and the sound of the train wheels because they knew soon they would hear the cries of Jews en route to a death camp. The screams tormented them. As time went by, when they would hear the whistle of the train, they would begin to sing hymns. By the time the train would pass the church they were singing at the top of their lungs. If they heard screams they would sing even louder and soon they heard them no more.

The man telling this testimony said that no one talked about it anymore but he could still hear the train whistle in his sleep. He said “God forgive me; forgive all us who called ourselves Christians yet did nothing to intervene” .

Now we have our own modern day holocaust in America. The murder of innocent unborn children. The latest laws passed in our country our unthinkable. Some states allow abortion up to birth, full term 9 months. Some have even considering allowing the mother to decide a child’s fate even after birth! That is infanticide.

How much longer will the church try to ignore the silent screams of the innocent? We must stand up for the unborn child. There should be more choices for the mothers, not just one of death. It is truly a modern day holocaust that history will look back on as one of the most vile atrocities of the human race

The whistles are blowing of drug addictions, violence, and all manner of evils that are overwhelming souls. Will YOU help us carry the message of Christ and Him Crucified into the world through our radio network?

Turn the Church Lights On!

Posted on Sep 27, 2015 in church | Tags: church

There is this big fad in the modern christian service to turn the church lights off. It seems to be an effort to emulate the tactics of secular entertainment. Why is it not overly obvious that the church is to be separate and different from the world? Why would the church want to give the appearance of a rock concert or bar environment? Why would Christians want to sit in a church service where they could not read a Bible? It may seem innocent but what are we saying to the world and what are we teaching the next generation?

As I was meditating on these questions, I found a scripture that stands out in the Bible that gives us guidance on what is was like when Paul ministered. Acts 20:7-8 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. It was no accident the Holy Spirit gave this verse for the church.

Paul preached with the room well lit. You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.(1st Thess 5:5) Turn the lights on in the church services, especially youth ministries. Get out of the darkness and let the light in!

5 Reasons Children Should Be in the Main Service

Sep '15

Here’s 5 reasons children should regularly be in the main service:

Children should not be removed from the main body for convenience sake.

This is one reason churches remove them from regular church service. They want a professional church service where adults can enjoy the worship without being disrupted by noisy little ones. This sounds good, but the Book of Acts never talks about having a professional service nor does the Bible talk about meeting our own selfish needs during church, but it does talk about children not being pushed aside.

Matthew 19: 14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Father, where is your boy tonight?

May '15

“A father took his little child out into the field one Sunday, and he lay down under a beautiful shady tree, it being a hot day. The little child ran about gathering wild flowers and little blades of grass, and coming to his father and saying: ‘Pretty! pretty!’ At last the father fell asleep and while he was sleeping the child wandered away. When he awoke, his first thought was ‘where is my child?’ He looked all around, but he could not see him. He shouted at the top of his voice, and all he heard was the echo of his own voice. No response! Running to a little hill, he looked around but all he heard was his own voice. Then going to a precipice at some distance, he looked down, and there upon the rocks and briers, he saw the mangled form of his loved child. He rushed to the spot, and took up the lifeless corpse, and hugged it to his bosom, and accused himself of being the murderer of his own child.

While he was sleeping his child had wandered over the precipice. I thought as I heard that, what a picture of the Church of God! How many fathers and mothers, how many Christian men are sleeping now while their children wander over the terrible precipice a thousand times worse than that precipice, right into the bottomless pit of hell? Father, where is your boy tonight?” – D.L.Moody
