A TIME TO SPEAK OUT



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:
