Babies and the War Against God
By Pastor Mike Spaulding
The Great Evangelical Disaster and Why Much of the Church is Now Controlled Opposition
How blessed is he who considers the helpless; the Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble. Psalm 41:1
The Democrats have escalated their war against God and the Church sings louder.
What do I mean by that? A story is told about a German congregation that met together at a building that sat along a railroad track that led to a Nazi Concentration Camp. Here is that story told by one of those congregants:
“I lived in Germany during the Nazi holocaust. I considered myself a Christian. I attended church since I was a small boy. We had heard the stories of what was happening to the Jews, but like most people today in this country, we tried to distance ourselves from the reality of what was really taking place. What could anyone do to stop it?
A railroad track ran behind our small church, and each Sunday morning we would hear the whistle from a distance and then the clacking of the wheels moving over the track. We became disturbed when one Sunday we noticed cries coming from the train as it passed by. We grimly realized that the train was carrying Jews. They were like cattle in those cars!
Week after week that train whistle would blow. We would dread to hear the sound of those old wheels because we knew that the Jews would begin to cry out to us as they passed our church. It was so terribly disturbing! We could do nothing to help these poor miserable people, yet their screams tormented us. We knew exactly at what time that whistle would blow, and we decided the only way to keep from being so disturbed by the cries was to start singing our hymns. By the time that train came rumbling past the church yard, we were singing at the top of our voices. If some of the screams reached our ears, we’d just sing a little louder until we could hear them no more. Years have passed and no one talks about it much anymore, but I still hear that train whistle in my sleep. I can still hear them crying out for help. God forgive all of us who called ourselves Christians yet did nothing to intervene.
“Their screams tormented us . . . If some of their screams reached our ears, we’d just sing a little louder.”
What Happened to Christians in America?
What has happened to Christians in America?
Decades after the contrived, fabricated, and phony Roe v. Wade decision was handed down by the United States Supreme Court, that many falsely believe is the law of land, after over 60 million unborn children have been murdered in the womb, and partially out of the womb in a “procedure” known as partial birth abortion, 44 Democratic senators who have obeyed the political spirit of antichrist in Washington, D.C., and have chosen to give a thumbs down to life for those children who miraculously survive the heinous attempt to murder them before and during birth. The circus continues in spirit!
That this decision by senators who have sworn to uphold the Constitution and especially the 14th Amendment granting equal protection under the law to all Americans, who have issued “official statements” justifying their satanically controlled mind that renders such a decision as merely another vote on another bill under consideration, is all the evidence any rational individual needs to rise up with righteous indignation and light a fire that will sweep this nation clean of these wicked people.
What has been the Church’s response? For the most part they are singing louder. This response is simply more of the same behavior that has rendered the Church effeminate, emasculated, anemic, and a pitiful caricature of what it is meant to be.
The Church abandoned the field of battle decades ago. Today, the visible, organized Church is in full retreat on nearly every front. How did this come about?
The Great Evangelical Disaster
Theologian and author Francis Schaeffer have proven to be very accurate in his assessments of the rapid slide of America and other cultures into an abyss of wickedness and debauchery.
In 1984, Schaffer wrote The Great Evangelical Disaster based on his observations at that time.Here are some of the many things that Schaeffer believed forebode ill tidings for the Church. It is my conviction that the critique below explains how we have arrived at the point of moral and ethical implosion in America today.
First, America has been overcome by the assault of moral relativism in public and private life.
The adoption of moral relativism among Christiansmeans that absolute truth dies, and every individual becomes the captain of his or her own universe. Right and wrong are privately determined and the splintering of society ensues. Manipulation and deception are easily employed against a people who have forsaken the high ground of a common morality that is rooted in the infallibility and inerrancy of the Bible.
The common bonds once shared among most Americans has been shredded. A new demonic mob mentality has descended upon a vast number of Americans who are now triggered at the mere mention of words, politic perspectives, and even hats!
Party politics has become the new Baal to many. The Church responds by telling the culture that it is a safe space for all, an inclusive organization of comfort and healing. What the Church has become is the gateway to hell for all those who succumb to its siren song of peace and safety in our time.
Compromisemust follow an amorphous morality and arguments for every form of sin and evil must be entertained. When compromise takes root, apostasy arises and is crystalized as new doctrine and a new gospel is elevated within the Church. This new gospel is bewitching and soon Christians become dumbed down scripturally, ethically, and socially. This results in the loss of Holy Spirit filled teaching, outreach, and evangelism.
Social Gospel, Social Justice, and Ecumenism
A little leaven leavens the whole loaf and so, into the fissure created by relativism and compromise rush the social gospel, social justice, and ecumenism.
I have been stating for many years that this new gospel of socialism is not biblical but Marxian and satanic.
The real problem with mankind is the same as the Bible has always declared: we are a fallen creature living in a fallen world. Sin is the issue, not unjust social, economic, or political systems.
Those are the result of sin, but they will not change until or unless there is a heart change among a significant number of men and women. In other words, the only way a culture will change is if the hearts of people are changed favorably toward God. The opposite is also true and that is exactly what is underway right now. People are being led away from the only way of salvation and sane civic life: faith in Jesus Christ.
Infanticide is Now the Law
All the things mentioned above have coalesced into the most heinous display of malevolent destruction I have ever seen. Infanticide is now gleefully codified into State law in many places.
Some Christians are horrified at this turn of events. My question to them is this: why are you shocked? Many Christians sang louder as arguments for murdering unborn children gained an intellectual foothold in American minds.
Euphemisms such as “choice,” “a decision between a woman and her doctor,” and “my body, my choice,” became commonplace and accepted as reasonable. Nothing justifies the murdering of unborn children. America now condones the murdering of born children! The slope is indeed slippery!
Schaeffer’s admonition is sound and timely for us today: “The unborn child is a human being created in the image of God, and to deny this is to deny the authority of the Bible. It is impossible to read Psalm 139 and truly believe in the Incarnation and not realize that the child conceived in Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit was indeed the Son of God from the time of conception.”
Christians, It’s Time to March in the Streets
Christian, it is time to get up and march into the streets demanding, not asking, that your elected officials at every level recant their demonically-inspired support for infanticide. Call your senator, congressperson, local officials, and those in state government and tell them in no uncertain terms that they will express your beliefs on this subject, or they will face recall and organized resistance at every turn.
Christians must adopt a strategy of offense right now! Strike now while the Democrats are feeling the full wrath of Americans sick and tired of their over-reach and globalist nonsense.
The agenda of the Congress, both Democrats and Republicans is subjection of the American populace to the whims of their fancied aristocracy.
Current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi astonishingly said recently that she as well as the rest of her Democrats are “doing the Lord’s work.”
She and others are doing her lord’s work for sure. But her Lord is not Jesus Christ, nor the Father. Her lord is Satan and unless she repents of her wickedness, she will bust hell’s gates wide open.
Let me very clear to those readers who support infanticide in whatever form it takes: you are not a Christian if you support murdering unborn babies. You are a satanically controlled stooge. Blow me off if you want to but you do so at your own peril. I’m taking off the gloves and going bare-knuckled with those who believe they can be comforted by the belief that they are a Christian and march for child murder. You are nothing more than satanically controlled opposition and I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Listen to me Christian America: singing louder only means that you will not hear the footsteps of your executioners when they come for you! Rise up and fight back.
