China Burning Bibles, Forcing Christians to Denounce Christ 

Could this be us in the near future?

Not since the brutal reign of Mao Zedong has the Chinese government cracked down on Christianity. President Xi Jinping will not tolerate Christianity in China and is on a rampage to crush believers in his country.

From foxnews.com

The Chinese government is destroying crosses, burning Bibles, closing churches and forcing Christian believers to sign papers renouncing their faith as the crackdown on religious congregations in Beijing and several provinces intensifies.

“The international community should be alarmed and outraged for this blatant violation of freedom of religion and belief,” Bob Fu of China Aid said.

Trump’s Response to Persecuted Christians in China

The suppression of religious freedoms comes as an official government campaign to “Sinicize” religion by demanding loyalty to the atheist Communist party and removing any potential challenge to the party’s power in the country.

“The situation for Chinese Christians becomes more dire by the day. We are working tirelessly to put maximum pressure on China to stop the persecution,” Jay Sekulow, President Trump’s attorney and Chief Counsel at the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), wrote in a tweet:

The persecution of Christians in China is nothing new. A report by the watchdog group Freedom House found that Christians and other religious groups in China have been persecuted since 2012, Fox News reported.

A third of all religious believers in China who belong to a faith group were also found to face “high” to “very high” levels of persecution, which ranges from bureaucratic harassment and economic exploitation to harsh prison terms and even violence, the report said.

But experts and activists say the Chinese government is now waging the most severe suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedoms were granted by the Chinese constitution in 1982.

The escalating anti-Christian campaign coincides with President Xi Jinping’s recent consolidation of power that made him the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, the notorious communist leader responsible for millions of deaths.

Activists reportedly filmed footage of what appeared to be piles of burning Bibles and forms declaring that the signatories had rejected their faith. The authorities allegedly forced the believers to sign the forms or risk being expelled from school or losing welfare benefits.

A Christian pastor in the Henan city of Nanyang, whose name was not identified out of fear of retaliation by the authorities, reportedly confirmed that crosses, Bibles and furniture were burned during a raid on his church on Sept. 5.

He added that local authorities were in discussions with the church about reforming it, but no agreement had been reached.

According to Chinese laws, religious believers are allowed to worship only in government-sanctioned congregations. But many millions of Christians belong to underground or house churches that ignore government regulations.

Officials reportedly disputed the allegations raised by Christians, saying authorities respect religious freedom.

The anti-religion campaign affected not only Christian denominations. Around 1 million Uighurs and other members of Muslim minority groups in the country’s northwest have been detained in indoctrination camps where they are forced to denounce Islam and profess loyalty to the Communist Party.

The Chinese government denied setting up the camps for indoctrination, but stressed the importance of tackling extremism.

China has around 38 million Protestants, and some have predicted that the country will have the world’s largest Christian population in a few decades. – source

Brethren, I am not trying to instill fear into the hearts of American Christians, but I am looking at this realistically. If the democrats take Congress this year, and eventually the White House in 2020, this will bring about a scenario which does not bode well for Christians.

But it won’t be a problem for all churches or all people who call themselves Christians. I believe that the Social Justice gospel churches and members will be safe from an antagonistic U.S. government.

Their affirmation of the LGBTQ agendas and gay marriage and abortion will undoubtedly keep them safe.

But for those of us who stand on the Word of God and will NEVER renounce our belief in our Savior Jesus Christ – a Democratic government will now be a huge problem for us. We will be forced to meet secretly.

With our unbelieving family members calling us “haters” – I believe that these lost people will turn in many of their own family members who are born-again believers.

Keep looking up because our redemption is closer than ever before!

A very wise brother in Christ told me something that I really needed to hear. First let me tell the reader what happened and the effect it had on me. A few days ago, I created a Facebook group titled “Stop Transgender Indoctrination of our Children.” Within a day, the group had over 200 Christians who had joined.

Then today, the group got this message from Facebook:

“Group Under Review:

STIC: Stop Transgender Indoctrination of Children has been disabled because it has content that goes against the Community Standards on hate speech. We remove hate speech which includes content that directly attacks people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender or gender identity, or serious disabilities or diseases. Organizations or people dedicated to promoting hatred of these protected groups are not allowed a presence on Facebook.”

The group has been shut down by Facebook.

Anyone who has been following my articles of late has most likely seen that this transgender indoctrination of little children has really done me in. I’ve lain in my bed talking to God, asking Him how He could allow this. The little children Lord! How can this happen?

Large millstones hung about a person’s neck and drowned in the depth of the sea keep coming to mind.

The words of my brother in Christ

It was Tony Koretz of aminutetomidnite.com who said the words which the Lord gave to him for me. Here is what he said:

“The noose is tightening as they remove all rights to disagree with the NWO agenda in all its forms; and if we want to let our voices be heard, remember Jesus said be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. I think at this time now, we have to listen to the Holy Spirit asking guidance as to what to say or not say, what tags to use on things we say and what tags will get us banned. Eventually we will be silenced, but we still have a bit of time if we use wisdom on how to go about things. But ultimately they are calling evil good and calling good as evil!”

The Time has indeed come 

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,  traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

“Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:12-15).

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16).

Sharing the Gospel of Christ is of utmost importance

When Tony shared those words with me, I knew that they were from God. I am still hurting for the innocent children. I still grieve over the aborted babies. Inside, I rage against the evil one for what he is doing to the people on this earth.

I loathe George Soros, but I’m still aware that our Lord could save even him. If he saved Saul of Tarsus who had slaughtered Christians, yet became Paul, the greatest Evangelist who ever lived – He can certainly save George Soros. We should pray for him.

I remain angry at the United Nations and their NWO schemes. But these things are all part of prophecy, and they must happen.

And I can’t promise the readers that I won’t write articles filled with righteous indignation! Remember Jesus turning over the tables in the Temple?

But I agree with my brother Tony that the time has come for Christians to carefully choose our words if we are speaking on social media. We are very close to being completely silenced, but we must be able to share the Gospel.

The only way a person’s heart can be changed is if that person is born again. And the only way that can happen is if the person hears the Gospel of Jesus Christ and believes it and embraces it.

Think about the people in your life who need to hear the Gospel.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1:16).

The Great Commission

As the followers of our Lord Jesus were listening to Him right before He was about to ascend to heaven, they heard Him say this:

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen” (Matthew 28:18-20).

We know that eventually we will be silenced. Even if we speak as harmless as doves – we will still be silenced. But until that time, let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us to choose our words carefully on Social Media.

Oh Father, help me to choose my words wisely as I speak to the lost about You. Help me to be wise and clever but at the same time help me to be harmless and gentle and innocent as a dove.

Let me always speak the truth in love so that my words might win many for your Kingdom. I love You Lord. I never want You to be ashamed of me.

Help me with every step I take. I ask You this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
