When People Try To Shut You Down

/ warriorwoman91 / Leave a comment

I’m frequently inundated with tweets from so-called “Christians” telling me that I should spend less time talking about politics. According to some, I’m “obsessive” when it comes to divisive and controversial issues such as abortion, and as a Christian I ought to spend more time talking about the Gospel.

My contention is that the reason why abortion has become such a large scale institution is precisely because Christians have not been more outspoken. We’ve been cowered into silence, whether it’s by the threat of losing tax exempt status, or because we’re afraid of push back, or we just don’t care. Christians absolutely need to be involved in political and social issues, as we’re seeing the tragic and horrendous consequences of our ignorance.

Now this is not to say that Christians should not talk about the Gospel–of course we should. However, if the idea of talking about the Gospel exclusively, means ignoring the hundreds of thousands of children aborted every year or pretending that the issue doesn’t exist if we don’t talk about it, then you can count me out. I refuse to have my freedom of speech shut down by people who either disagree with or are threatened by my beliefs.

Was Hitler a Christian?

Christianity is often used as an excuse for bad behavior.  Look at how Nancy Pelosi calls Jesusupon her Catholic “faith” to justify forcing churches to provide contraception, when Catholic doctrine specifically teaches the exact opposite.  The popular belief is to call oneself a Christian and then define it as whatever pleases you or pushes your agenda in order to justify your actions.

Hitler called himself a Christian, despite Nazi philosophy being deeply rooted in the occult (Google swastika).

“I say: My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. .. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison.”  -Hitler

Hitler’s words are rebutted by Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, first to the Jew then to the Gentile.” However, this and other such statements lead some (especially those looking to do damage to Believers) to preach that Hitler was a Christian.  However, one cannot be a Christian simply by calling yourself a Christian, quoting the Bible, or talking about God.  Even Satan quoted the Bible (Matt 4), so by that logic are we to believe that he is a Christian too?

 A Christian is defined as someone who follows Christ, meaning someone who has admitted that they are a sinner (Romans 3:23), believes Jesus died to pay for their penalty caused by sin (Romans 6:23), and has confessed and asked him to forgive you (Romans 10:9-10).  The result of this is salvation and a deep desire behave as Christ did while on earth.  Any other additional doctrine is antithetical to the Bible and not defined as true Christianity.

Who Will Defend Your Freedom?

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about why teens of our generation hated Bush so much.  He told me when he was in junior high and high school the main reason that they hated Bush was because they thought he was going to bring the draft back following the attacks on 9/11.  They feared they would be required join the military services against their will simply with the stroke of then President Bush’s pen, and they hated him for it.

The problem with this point of view is that it has no regard for the price of freedom.  I wish I could ask those students where they think freedom comes from?  Do they think that they are entitled to it and that the rest of the world just accepts that entitlement as a given?  Do they think that threats against our freedom are obsolete and that we don’t need to defend them anymore? Or would they just rather that someone else did the dying while they stayed home and enjoyed the freedom?

While few would admit it, a large portion of my generation would selfishly answer yes to these questions. The idea that freedom requires work and sometimes death in order for it to continue is completely foreign to us, as we have never experienced anything else. Certainly nobody likes to be told what to do or be forced to do something that they don’t want to do. However, when placed in the context of somebody crashing a plane into your building or invading your country this is all the more reason to fight to protect your freedom. When we realize just how easily liberty can be lost we feel an urgent desire to defend it without need of coercion or draft. Thanks to all who heeded that urgency, and gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we could be free.

Man Tricks Girlfriend Into Taking Abortion Pill, But Why The Murder Charge?

/ warriorwoman91 / Leave a comment

So this guy is charged with murder for allegedly tricking his girlfriend into taking an abortion pill. He apparently switched the pills inside her bottle of prescription drug with the abortion pills after she refused to abort the baby at his insistence. My question is why the murder charge? If the fetus is not viable in the eyes of the court in the case of an abortion with a consenting woman, what changes it to viable in the case of a non-consenting woman?

My point: it’s either a human being, or it isn’t. The differentiation between whether the woman wants the child or not doesn’t change the fact that it is a living person being destroyed in the most inhumane way.  Why else would Kermit Gosnell have to sever the spines of abortion survivors or shove their bodies into jars of poison if they were not living?!

These morbid scenarios occur largely because we have allowed them to.  Premarital sex has become the norm, and with it abortion as it destroys 1/3 of children born in the United States.  The outrage regarding these crimes has been stifled by a willfully silent media, and a largely uninterested public.  How long will the atrocity of human sacrifice to the god of convenience to continue? As long as we let it.

An AWESOME Story

Once upon a time there was an 80s Christian rock band called Whiteheart.  During their early years, the band members struggled to find a lead singer.  One guy quit, another just didn’t fit, still another backslid, and so on.  At the end of a tumultuous four years they started giving auditions again. Then one day they found their tour bus driver singing and dancing to one of their songs.  His name was Rick Florian.

(Whiteheart’s most successful albums were produced with Florian as the lead singer. Be sure to take a listen here.)
