A Question Revisted | SermonIndex

sermonindex Jul 29, 2011

A short time ago I posted a thread entitled A Question. In that thread I told the story of the Russian Orthodox church debating the great theogical questiion of the ages. Legend says that on the eve of the comminist revolution the Russian Orthodox were debating how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. Personally I do not know if the story is true. But its message should be clear.

As Lenin and his and his associates were spreading the evil of communism into Russia the Russian church was asleep. Or debating nonessential theogy. Tragically communism took hold in Russia and its poison took hold in the world. A lot of believers were martyred by Lenin. Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Fidel Caatro, etc. All in the name of communism. One could only wonder had the Russian Orthodox church been faithful in preaching Jesus if the outcome might shave been different for Russia.

So while vve are behind our key boards debating the finer points of Calvinism or why the KJV is the one pure translation or abolishing the old covenant, do you hear the Islamic call to prayer? Do you see a mosque rising in your neighborhood? Do you see an Islanic community center next door to your house? Saints Islam has come to America and it is here to stay. The goal of Islam is to turn the U.S into a caliphate governed by sharia law. Impossible you say. Who would have thought communism would come to Russia. My question, are we awake? Can we stop debating the five points and see the danger of the five pillars?

By Blaine Scogin as a loving warning to the saints.

As I thought further about the rise of Islam in America I thought of England. Are you aware that there are more moslems in England than Methodist? Once beautiful Anglican churches are being turned into mosque. Islamic leaders are boasting England will become their first western calphate. Hello!!! Anybody see see what is happening here???

Other than prayer accompanying "going into all the world and preaching the Gospel" - what do propose we do about it?

I read Bible prophecy and see that this is not the threat.
We're being lied to and manipulated. Where in The Word do we read of Muslims taking over the world? They'd like to - but so would Christians and Jews.

The rich men of the earth are who are pulling the strings through the UN presently are the problem and always have and will be.

They are just riling up and empowering people to pit them against each other.
Mainly, they are firing up the three monotheistic religions against each other so that we'll be willing to go into the war that leads to the NWO and accept their "man and system of 'Peace'".

The Muslims are being fired up from within by infiltrators and men who are being financed by the rich men of the earth. The same type that financed Hitler.

Psalm 2:1-3

Can we stop Biblical Prophecy if we're already IN the last days?

Most people may not realize that the answer to that is, No!

So now, we're to occupy until He comes - prayer, preach the gospel, fellowship and make sure we're walking in The Truth.
Paul warned us to watch the last days False doctrines as well. To be good shepherds of the sheep. To be our Brother' keeper, in other words, care about what's happening to them - doctrinally, their life-style and as you well know - those who are in prison, hospitals, hungry and so forth.

The Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc are to know that we're His Disciples by our Love.

We need to Love them to Jesus and eventually, be put to death for our own Love for Jesus.

GOD Bless!

You express insightful thoughts. I agree, the Muslims are not THE problem. Therefore suppressing or opposing them (even in our thoughts) is not the solution.

I recently toured London (which some now label Londonistan). We saw many magnificent historical sites, all which speak of a past glory. The church and state were obviously closely tied. It’s not surprising that the two find their demise occurring simultaneously. The English have lost a strong sense of identity, purpose, and moral code. They have nothing to attract the growing Muslim population to their culture. It’s a declining empire, vulnerable to invasion.

When I toured London, I noticed many mementos, such as stone carvings on buildings, indicating that glorious England once saw her identity in the ancient Roman Empire. And now England (and the West) must identify with Rome’s demise. A lot of rock may remain visible, the rock of human structures. But the living rock, Christ alone endures.

The biblical narrative is marvelously relevant. It is set in the context of rising and falling empires throughout the centuries. Israel knew national glory only briefly. She was usually occupied.

Jesus never promised that Christians would occupy a victorious earthly empire. Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but Christ’s followers have no territorial claim. We belong to a different kingdom, and our calling is to represent Christ wherever we find ourselves. The psalmists can teach us how to think, feel, and how to evaluate our situation in the light of God. The psalms to a large extent, arose from suffering caused by invaders and oppressors. That’s the reality for most Christians today. Surely we are not entitled to anything different!

As we humbly accept divine judgment, we also open ourselves to divine grace. And then we indeed have something to offer the “gentiles”.

We need to Love them to Jesus and eventually, be put to death for our own Love for Jesus.

When I started a Question and A Question Revisited it was with the intention to warn of a sleeping church in America that has departed from the gospel. I addressed this in the debt crisis thread somewhat. When we look at Islam in England anf America the fault must be borne by the church:. Because the churc h lost the preservative element in society judgment came upon her and the land.

Someone asked what do I propose one do about the Islamic threat outside of prayer. Pray the church wakes up, repents and turns to Christ, becomes holy, and evanglize the moslems. Best simple answer I can give.

Signing off,

This reminds of a missionary couple I know in Africa who are fulfilling their calling through hospitality. They invite Muslims into their home and befriend them through serving meals. He begins evangelism by using their holy book, the Koran to teach about Jesus. In this way this couple is fulfilling the command to love thy neighbour.

If perhaps God puts Muslims “next door” to you or me – in our lives somehow, then he will also empower us to touch them with God’s redemptive love. It will mean walking on their “map”, as Jesus did. Serving meals, helping in times of need may be part of that calling, and will help to break down the walls of suspicion created by so much abrasive and hostile “Christianity”.

May God cause your love to increase for the Muslims, even as you grow in his love – so wide, high, long, and deep,

Amen and amen. It has been my blessing to share Jesus with two moslems. Both were done in the context of love you spoke of. I facilitate a conference call where we pray for the persecuted church and for God to work among the moslems. I would love to have you join us. If you email me at the.persecution.watch@gmail.com I can send call info.
