A Thought From Our Pastor: Murder
Is Unjustifiable Let me please be
open and honest right up front, the murder of partial birth abortionist
doctor George Tiller was absolutely an unjust act and the murderer that done
this horrible act should be judged, convicted, and the verdict should be to the
fullest extent of the law. The only people that irritate me personally more
than the pro-abortionist people are the religionist who protests against
abortion. Murder is an unjust act and is a violation of God’s law. However
bad it seems to be that Mr. Tiller was murdered does not seem to me to be
near as bad as the thousands of unborn babies he murdered during his life on
this earth. I personally have never protested because God is sovereign and He
has never instructed His people to protest anything. Ephesians 1:11 “In whom
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the
purpose of him who worketh all things after the
counsel of his own will:” Beloved if God wanted abortion stopped He would
stop it, if God wanted every soul saved He would save them, if God wanted
every Christian to be healthy – wealthy – and wise then they would be, and
etc. I am not going to shed any tears over Mr. Tiller’s death because he was
a horrible person for his profession. Mr. Tiller also spit in the eye of
every Christian that disagreed with him on abortion, and he enjoyed his work
and made millions of dollars at it. I am not going to say he got what he
disserved because no one has the right to murder another human being and both
of these people will pay account to Jesus Christ before the Great White
Throne for their unjust acts. Beloved this world is what it is and it is
controlled by Satan. 2 Corinthians 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath
blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” The
people (not all but most) on both sides of this issue are lost and controlled
by Satan and we have radicals on both sides of this issue. However the one’s
that believe there is a right to murder unborn children will use Mr. Tiller’s
death forever as a sacrificial tool for many years to come. They will also ignore the murder of Pvt.
William Long who was gunned down at an Army-Navy recruiting office in Beloved, Baptist
ever since the Church that Jesus started has never been a violent people. As
we read in the history of the Baptist church we never were we a violent
people, in fact it was Baptist who suffered the worst violence from the
people of religion. Fifty million Baptist and other Christians murdered from
about 300a.d. until around 1500a.d. and most of this came from the Catholic
Church as wall as other religionist Protestants out of the Catholicism. It is
incumbent upon us as Baptist and Christians to live in this world, we may not
agree with what they do but God is in command and nothing is done without His
allowing it to come to pass. Luke 19:13 “…Occupy till I come.” The word
“Occupy” means to carry on with trade until I come. We as Baptist and
Christians cannot allow Satan to control our ministries, worship, and
witnessing by happenings in the world. We must ignore them, trust the Lord,
and let them go their evil way and we go our way bringing praise to the Lord
Jesus Christ. Beloved these people are going to make Christians look horrible
in the next years to come using Mr. Tiller and any other event they can to
make Christians look like hate mongers. I expect it from them so it to no
surprise to me. They are blindly walking into the tribulation period and
during that time they will hate God even more, so let’s all just pray
together that Jesus comes very soon and occupy until He does. |

A Thought From C. H. Spurgeon: The Safest Place "And I give unto them eternal life; and they
shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
John 10:28 We believe in the eternal security of the saints. First, because
they are Christ's, and He will never lose the sheep which He has bought with
His blood, and received of His Father.Next, because
He gives them eternal life, and if it be eternal, well then, it is eternal,
and there can be no end to it, unless there can be an end to hell, and
Heaven, and God. If spiritual life can die out, it is manifestly not eternal
life, but temporary life. But the Lord speaks of eternal life, and that
effectually shuts out the possibility of an end. Observe, further,
that the Lord expressly says, "They shall never perish." As long as
words have a meaning, this secures believers from perishing. The most
obstinate unbelief cannot force this meaning out of this sentence. Then, to make the
matter complete, He declares that His people are in His hand, and He defies
all their enemies to pluck them out of it. Surely it is a thing impossible
even for the fiend of hell. We must be safe in the grasp of an Almighty Saviour. Be it ours to dismiss carnal fear as well as
carnal confidence, and rest peacefully in the hollow of the Redeemer's hand. |
