To every thing there is
a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven… (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Sometimes,
we just need to shut up. And sometimes,
we are obligated to speak out. This is a time to speak.
Addressing “political”
issues is not popular in the church today.
But some things scream out for our attention. With the growing threat of Islam worldwide,
America’s leaders should be looking out for our safety and protection. But there is something seriously wrong in the
White House.
We want to
share a link with our readers, “An Open Letter to President Obama” by Brigitte
Gabriel. It is a powerful, yet respectful,
letter to the president which was published in response to President Obama’s
“outreach” speech to Muslims in Cairo, Egypt, which he gave on June 4, 2009.
In the
letter, Gabriel speaks from first-hand knowledge and experience of the effects
of Islamic terrorism. And she points out
that when Jihadists (Muslims
who advocate or participate in “holy war”) commit acts of terror, they are
simply being faithful in following the Qur’an, just as they have throughout
history.
In his speech in Cairo, Obama claimed to be a
“student of history,” but Gabriel points out to the president how he seriously misrepresented history in that speech. To make matters worse, Obama blames America and
the west for the tensions between Muslims and ourselves. You can find Brigitte Gabriel's letter here:
Hi Russell,
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read the book titled When a Nation Forgets God by Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer before? If not, I would strongly urge you to get a copy.
The book is in my estimation a valuable read for every Christian, where the author draws on mistakes made in history using Nazi Germany as an illustration. Our fight extends beyond politics and is in actuality a spiritual battle for lost souls. The book was quite sobering to me.
