Warning to the church: THE PRICE OF FAILURE

[turnorburn]

Just got this in today's mail..

Why didn't the Muslim invasion start a generation earlier?

According to Muslims, it was because they were afraid their people would be converted to Christianity in America, the Christian nation.

They are not afraid any more.

The same one i got when i met Jesus in 1972, I've worked with Missionaries in Mexico and talked to Missionaries in South America where the kill you for being a dedicated believer that preaches salvation through Christ and Christ alone, is China different somehow?

I'm sorry ezra its just that people have different ideas about Christianity and what makes a person a Christian.. What the world says and what Gods word says are two different things. A couple of years after leaving Mexico i ran into two Missionaries from South America, we started discussing the situation down that way when they asked if I'd heard about some Nuns that were murdered, i believe this is the article..

It turns out the military guards were chatting with them when one of the guards asked to look at what was under a blanket in the back of the vehicle, what they found outraged them because at the time they were fighting against communists, under the blanket were dozens of boxes filled with communist literature. i guess finding out that these Nuns were a different version than what they had been led to believe upset them in the worst possible way..

i dont know much about missionaries the couple i talked with. that lived in china . said its very secretive on the underground church/ the ones they connect with and lead to Christ and if the Chinese citizen. attend a home church. the missionaries do not go and visit. they are being watched . some pastors have had all their teeth removed w/o any thing to numb . a way to extract info on the home church. some years ago .i read a article on Christians in China and how they are hungry for God. i said all this about china and i am sure there are other nations that have citizens hungry for God. but this should put the Church in america on wake up call. Churches close down every day pastor's quit the Church. fussing fighting luke warmness . i went school with a guy him/his wife done a pastoral ship in Luxembourg . he got kicked out at one time of the country . i do agree there are many ideas what a christian is.
