State of the Union



I have been looking for a book like this...A book that describes Islam and its realistic impact on the world. It is a must read. Not conspiracy theory, but a clarion call for America to wake up to the demographical changes of Europe and other places, to the tsunami of Islamic infiltration. The premise is that America alone has the chance to wake up and realize the Islamic revolution through the world through their subtle population surge while Russians and Europeans get all their abortions and have 0 to 1 kids, thus killing off their own population, and allowing Islamists to take over their countries and instill Shariah law. Mark Steyn totally fumbles the ball at the end of the book though, when he asks the question, "What should be done about Islam"? He proposes that we should "reform" Islam. He then goes on to give us some decent ways to yes, handle the Islamo-fascists in a narrow foreign policy and political way but--here is the deal... How will Christianity destroy Islam? I invite my tiny (if any) little group of readers to respond with ideas. Christianity will only destroy Islam when the following things happen: The Church is far more unified than it is now. The Church is far more repentant, and we realize that the only way to quench violence in a people is the gospel. But we want to fight the way of flesh and blood. We want to fight with the shiny weapons of war, or hyped up make us feel good democratic diplomacy. But no amount of tolerant, culturally sensitive diplomacy is going to unhinge a millennia of war and hate in a dark, dark people. The bottom line is this: we will have to reach the point where the church is mature enough to send little armies of missionaries to the most volatile places-and the short of it is, get killed. I am not saying that we should seek martyrdom like some of the early Christians did, where it seemed to be reckless abandon for death in some cases. We should be secretive to a point, just like Paul was tricky several times in his missionary journeys in not getting caught by whoever was seeking him i.e. getting let down in a basket in one city, and setting up a roadblock in another etc., I do believe though, it will take brave to the core, Spirit iron-plated men, single, to take Bibles and preach in Arabic and go to Tehran and other places and love the Muslims. The way of the advancing gospel is always death and resurrection. God's kingdom does grow through the blood of the martyrs. We must have even more boldness than they do, who will even go to the point of blowing themselves up--in droves. This is what makes them volatile. Blind submission and obedience to death for their god, Satan. They don't have sophisticated weaponry, or sophisticated cultures, how could they? It is only in a culture inundated with the gospel that you can have all the blessing and prosperity over the long haul. So, for us what do we do? We love our wives and husbands. We raise our children in love and not fear for the future. We raise them in joy. We work our jobs with joy and vigor. We educate and lead the church in our humble giftings to be aware and know what to do in the times that God has given us. We seek unity, we seek repentance, we seek mature and careful thinking about the world. We support missions. We support missionaries with alot of money and alot of prayer. We open up schools and churches in volatile countries. We try and adopt children from their depraved and ridiculous Islamic countries. We send families and not just inidviduals to countries where it is needed but not necessarily life threatening if families are involved, but we do send families! Islam will be destroyed through the Church, and the gospel. But remember my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you but what you can remember about God always using Apostate brother Ishmael to scourge the church throughout church history. Just as God used Assyria and Babylon as His "war club"--see Jer. so He is using Islamic possessed demoniacs to punish us. And with every hearing of an abortion done, a Christian child departing from the faith from a tyrant of a Christian father, pastors who teach horrible and damnable false doctrine, and have their own children going apostate, thus making them unsuitable for the pastorate, our ungratefulness, and worship of idols--remember this, when you realize that it is a large amount of our brothers--Christian men in the Marine core and other branches of which there are many--who are being blown apart for the church's sin, America's apostates, and pagans. The church leads the way in the culture always.. For better or for worse. And the church in the United States has lead the culture bad in many areas.

State of the Union evening.

Good word, Brother. I appreciate your thoughtful conclusions. Sometimes I get near depression thinking about the dis-unity in the Church as well as the state of the union. We desperately need the Lord to save us and turn us from all our idols in severe repentance. And I mean severe! Though it seems like such a huge mountain, may the Lord grant us faithfulness even through the coming storms to persevere and pass on the faith to the coming generations.
