The following notice of a Prayer
Meeting in Silver City, NM, epitomizes the attitude that the American church, I
believe, should take in the face of an all-pervasive evil that is gripping our
country. It was forwarded to me by Bishop George Connor, Presiding Bishop, AEC.
Dear Friends in the Lord &
Parishioners:
Tonight will be the moment when
"the rubber meets the road," or, if your prefer a more graphic
expression, tonight will be when "the bullet hits the bone!"
People of all different kinds who
look to the Lord Jesus and recognize Him LORD of ALL, will be meeting together
to pray for our country. We put aside denominational and doctrinal differences
that the evil One has used to keep us separated and fragmented, to be able to
declare that in this Present Age, we have much more in common with each other,
than we do with the world!
Our Christian Faith is being
denigrated and rejected by a secular society that now feels itself empowered to
dictate to the Church what it (society and government) wants us to believe. If
they are permitted to get away with it, THIS WILL MEAN the eventual DEATH of
CHRISTIANITY in the United States!
WE, as CHRISTIANS HAVE SINNED!!
We have grown complacent and have accommodated EVIL in our society. We have
sometimes worshipped a POLITICAL PARTY and whomever its candidate for office
may be, rather than worshipping the Majestic and ALL-HOLY GOD and His
Only-Begotten Son, Our Savior Jesus Christ! If we had worshipped Him, we would
not have allowed the casual murder of over 54 million babies and counting, on
the blood-soaked pagan altars of the modern Ba'als and Ashtartes; otherwise
known as pro-abortion candidates! We would not vote for those that seek to
destroy life in abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell
research. You know the litany; I will not bore you with a sermon. We, as
Christians, have not sought to bring the Reign upon earth of Christ our King by
voting VALUES rather than PARTY or CANDIDATE. WE HAVE SINNED! Political Parties
have been our gods; we have trusted in the arm of flesh!
Is there time to avert the
catastrophe that will surely come upon us if we continue to live cozily amidst
REPREHENSIBLE EVIL??? Will He save us if there are only 10M, or 5M, or just ONE
MILLION righteous, GOD-Loving people left? Will we go the way of Israel
(destroyed in 721 B. C.) or Judah (destroyed in 586 B. C.)???
Tonight we will pray TOGETHER--no
denominational boundaries--for MERCY! WE HAVE SINNED, and we are reaping the
bitter fruits of our actions. Our country has fundamentally changed right under
our feet! When did we stop being a Christian Nation?? Now our country is
HOSTILE to Christianity!! We will be humbling ourselves tonight in the sight of
the Lord, begging Him, pleading with Him to SAVE OUR LAND! I think it was
either President Jefferson, or President Adams who said "Our democracy can
only work when the people believe in God." He was right! Without God,
there is NO ABSOLUTE TRUTH, and therefore, all "truths" are equal and
cannot claim superiority! This is called "relativism." Pope Benedict
XVI has referred to our Western culture as laboring under the
"Dictatorship of Relativism" where there is NO TRUTH! Doesn't that
sound familiar?? "Quis quis est veritas?" (Hint: he provided the
"legal authority" for Jesus' Crucifixion. Give up?... Pontius
Pilatus: "what is truth?").
Please join us tonight at the
interdenominational Prayer Gathering at The Copper Ridge Fellowship's meeting
house. Do everything you can to be there! Our way of life and religious
freedoms are at stake!
Directions are simple: In Christum unum sumus, ("In
Christ we are one")
