For those who think that evangelism is only for a select few, maybe this video will encourage you to think again. Western Christianity needs to wake up and smell the coffee! We are in grave danger and if the Lord does not return soon (or in our lifetime), some of our readers will see what were considered “Christian” states become Islamic states along with EVERYTHING that goes along with Islam including sharia law. True believers and the West (particularly America) are foolish if they think it cannot or will not happen!
Part of our problem is that we have bought into the me, myself, and I thinking. Take care of me and don’t let too many distractions get in the way (called children). Have our boy and our girl and call it quits! Families have a responsibility to teach their children and grandchildren of the things of God, but if there is nobody to teach the Scriptures, then we will be assimilated that much quicker by the false religions of the world!
When that day comes, persecution will be severe. Sharia law will rule the day and there will no longer be a voice to object. However, no matter what happens we can and will rest assured in the undeniable fact that the Lord Jesus Christ rules as Supreme and Sovereign over all His creation. Nothing will take place which He does not permit. One day it will all end and all the wrongs and injustices of this world will cease as the Lord of Heaven and earth reigns forever and ever!

Before I got banned from FreeRepublic for posting a link to a video exposing Roman Catholic apostasy, I was ridiculed for my opinion that the US ought to prohibit immigration to anyone from and Muslim country or origin unless they repudiate Islam in writing, upon penalty of immediate expulsion from the USA.
We used to ban Communists from coming in, as their stated goal is the over throw of our country. It’s the same issue with Islam and we pretend otherwise at our peril.
At the same time, Christians must resist putting confidence in the government.
On point with the message of the video – my elders teach what the Bible says about kids, that they are a blessing from God. Complete repudiation of the cultural message that children are a burden that must be planned for and managed. Many younger couples in our church have 4 or more children. Some have 6 or 7. As a family integrated church – the way God intended it – all them little kids are present in the worship services. They absorb much that their parents don’t yet realize – all to the glory of God and the blessing of the parents.
The end of the video hits the nail on the head – we must be willing to work the fields, however they may be constructed, and trust God to save even Muslim souls.
Not sure if it will happen…but Mr President is creating stronger ties with the middle east in order to improve the economy, since Saudi is rich. Look on the bright side :)
TDP,
I think it’s also worth noting in the OT how often the Lord used idolatrous nations as judgments against His people when they turned from Him in their prideful, self-sufficient arrogance.
He gives them over to defeat and humiliation in order to crush their false assurances in their own strength and power, as they shamefully lust after the flesh-pots of Egypt desiring their former bondage. Therefore in His inscrutable wisdom and inflexible justice the Lord grants their desire for enslavement and ensnares them by a people with strange customs and a foreign tongue.
Like the false prophets and rampant apostasy which assault the broader professing visible church from within, and the wicked human government which oppresses it from without, the One True and Living God also uses false religion as an instrument of His divine judgment, retribution, and chastisement against His backslidden people.
Yet with the Lord’s chastisement comes purification, and when the day comes in Westernized, Americanized Church-ianity that men must choose death or Christ, then we shall surely see the separation of the sheep and the goats, the wheat and the chaff.
May we who are called by the Name of the Lord be counted worthy to share in His sufferings and to rejoice therein, counting the loss and light momentary affliction as nothing to the praise of His glory alone forever and evermore.
Soli Deo Gloria!
In Christ,

Indeed, the prophets of old were greatly disturbed by God’s use of pagan nations as His club. The USA ain’t His nation – no nation is. The church is under judgment – as evidenced by Todd Bentley and other false teachers who have yet to be thrown out IAW 1 John 2:18 & 19.
I join with in praying that we who are called by His name will be counted as worthy, when trials come. for the glory of God and none other.
Ms AlleSanDrIa,
It is written: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” (Matthew 6:19-20)
In Christ,

God (not allah) forgive and help us!!! We do not deserve God’s blessing on this declining nation!!!
I am starting to think the Islam could be the religion of the Beast spoken about in Revelation.
Brothers,
It’s interesting to realized that the nations that Jesus fights against at His Second Coming are all Muslim!
I’m also reminded of what one of my college professors told us–and this is more than 10 years ago: that Islam would be the predominate religion in the United States. I remembered thinking at the time that was a bunch of nonsense…my how my perspective has changed.
Our redemption draws near, brothers!
@Joe Chavez,
You said: “It’s interesting to realized that the nations that Jesus fights against at His Second Coming are all Muslim!”
Please provide the reference for this.
Many thanks.
@Manfred,
The main passages to review on this are found in Ezekiel 38. If you read verses 1-6 you will see these nations listed:
Gog & Magog: part of modern day Russia
Rosh: Modern Iran
Meshech and Tubal: Modern Turkey
Persia: Modern Iran
Ethiopia: Northern Sudan
Put: Libya
Gomer: probably eastern Turkey and Ukraine
Beth-togarmah: Turkey near the Syrian border
Russia (according to the CIA World Factbook) is currently about 15% Muslim. Iran is 98% Muslim. Turkey 99%. Sudan 70%. Libya 97%. Syria 74%.
As you can see, the majority of those nations are Muslim. The ones that are not right now…well…goes back to the video in the original post.
Hope that helps out.
@Joe Chavez,
There’s no doubt that Scripture records much war between Arab states and God’s chosen ones of the Old Testament.
What is the source of your information regarding the identification of Gog & Magog?
@Manfred,
My NASB Bible has many references and explanations. Plus, there is a plethora of information on the Internet and from Bible scholars such as Chuck Missler, for example.
@Joe Chavez,
I looked in my ESV study Bible and they say much discussion but no conclusion as to the identity of Gog and Magog. I wouldn’t rely on Missler for anything related to prophecy interpretation. Gag.
Though there are many threats to Christianity…I don’t think Muslims will outnumber the Christians. WE have the good news, it is spreading around the world with it’s revivals in Africa and in South America and in Asia. We can have help from these people, they also have a more similar reproduction as the Muslims! And condoms are banned in the Catholic church so I guess – that this man made rule bring out something good at least.
I still think materialism is more powerful, than Islam, at least the muslims who move to Sweden are just Muslims by name not by action and they are not very devoted to spreading Islam (of course you can change a birth rate if you change behavior! Some families start to give birth to 5 they make up for another familly so it’s not impossble) . The mix between Muslim and Caucasians will also start to happen in a greater deal.. I don’t think the children of these will be fundamental muslims, more liberal than anything else. You Americans tend to take everything to the extreme.. The Muslim who moved to Europe tend to be more liberal than those in the some extent “brainwashed” people that hasn’t gone to a proper school (but a Khoran school), in the Muslim countries back home. These people do not tend to spread the Muslim faith! I’ve just met 5 persons out of several hundred Muslims who tried to convert me. I live in Sweden and my mum works in a immigrant area/suburb to Stockholm.
Though it’s really true that Europe get less and less Christian I’m not sure it’s getting more Islamic either..
But it’s still true that this is a challange! WE ALWAYS NEEDS TO EVANGELIZE MORE (as there are people being born every where in an excelerating rate – though there are also 2 billion Christians giving birth)!
Ps. a tip when evangeliseing have something that makes people want to come to you freely like coffée people tend to be more open then, instead of flicking you the finger you can get many many chats with people! A thing that almost always starts a good conversation is: what to u think caused the Big Bang? This tend to make people more humble..
While u are moderating my review please feel free to correct all the faults in the spelling.. ^^
Btw it would be quite fun to write for you guys too.. But I tend to write more apologetic in general.. not against cults.. And I’m no expert in theology just a bright dude who went to Bible school one year.. and who likes philosophy and Christian Apologetics.. 8)
Feel free to check my blog if u want to.. and see what I write..
