I have been thinking a lot about what is most practical to share in promoting more committed personal focus on ‘Actually Doing Life as a Christian.’ God is wonderfully gracious and persistent in His work through the Holy Spirit to bring us closer to Him by our care and love for others who need our attention And support. He respects our free agency to live by our own personal choices. One could say, well short of the wisdom of Omnipotence, that His respect for ‘free agency’ extends beyond the absolute point to a fault. But there is no fault or lack of Wisdom in the ‘will of God.’ This is, in my limited view, a massive proof that the Creator, LORD God of heaven and Earth, — with the Infinite Wisdom to create order in the vast and expanding Universe of which we are becoming aware — in accord with the singularity of the Godhead Christians know as the Trinity: that Creator decreed that one feature of being made in ‘their image’ IS NONNEGOTIABLE, absolutely “Free Agency.”
As described in the Revelations of Jesus Christ, written by the one disciple ‘whom the Savior loved’ because he, John, got the full understanding of what Jesus, the Son of God, had come to do.
Of the Antediluvians it is written that our Creator rued His creation of mankind because in the aftermath of the Fall they had become so greatly wicked and powerful in evil that the only way of survival and salvation for the human race was to destroy the Earth and all but one man, his wife, and his three sons’ with their wives. The Adversary of souls had so defaced humanity that the pathway to salvation through a promised Messiah would be well nigh impossible. That very Adversary redoubled his vow to make salvation impossible for humanity. Only the Son of God, who fully understood His origin and promise, His accord with the Father and His love for the world they had created for a humanity given ‘free agency’ to choose to follow in faith or depart in doubt, And, the gift of life eternal, free of iniquitous evil specious in its destructive consequences. Therefore, the primary purpose of design law for life is freedom to pursue life without evil intent or love of self above the interests of others, especially those we identify with who love God first, last, and best in the life freely given by God through Jesus. Only the Son of God, One with His Father in purpose and promise, could have borne the greatest sacrifice of love for humanity, and the world made for our race to be complete in an eternal cycle of life. Only Jesus the Christ could have withstood the fury of Satanic power to cause the most heinous treatment of a human being by those whose heritage had made the entire rescue of humanity from evil possible.
It is a testament to the Wisdom and mystery of Godliness that God would allow His Son to be so profoundly violated. Just as it was a testament to the mystery of iniquity that one so honored and exalted of God by virtue of his status as an Archangel, witnessing the power and beneficence of the Godhead at the very Great White Throne of the Universe, should assume the arrogance of ascending to the Throne he imagined for himself. The sacrifice he exacted of the Son of God for mankind created in ‘their image’ he, Lucifer the Archangel, who had derailed the faith of Gods crowning creation — mankind in ‘their image’ — had no willingness or capability to do.
How can that most basic likeness and connection be preserved in the eternal life promised in our salvation? That “Free Agency.”
It is a basic, sacred design law that ‘free agency’ as defined in the ‘mind of Christ’ will embrace the principles of love, truth, and sacrificial life to the point that rebellion and sin will not arise again. And if a human should fall short of the growth and maturity requisite to a godly race and society of the redeemed, then rest assured that our Savior has a thousand ways to achieve restoration in the lives of the redeemed where we can only think of one which became the most valiant exaltation of the image of God known to mankind— the willing sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to assure the image of God complete and nonnegotiable within the
“Free Agency” aspect of intelligent design law, reflecting the original meaning of ‘being created in God’s image, ‘Let us make man in our image’ right to the crowning point of sharing the Spirit of Truth/God in that eternal life given by the Life underived and infinite.
Faithful devotion to our Creator, and our fellow creatures, first and foremost those with whom we share oneness in Christ, is our first duty. Otherwise, wherein is our unity? Claiming to know the heart of Christ is not subject to general abstraction. Jesus told us that ‘as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days before the return of the Son of Man, whose Atoning Sacrifice is not simply spiritual, but physical.
This treatise on the suffering of African, Nigerian people has stirred my heart as the most profound political, yet spiritual awakening of this world’s final days. Issues around the spread of Marxist agnostic influence and the conjoining spector of Islam “rising as a ‘smoke from the bottomless pit’” are stirred by the clarifying voices of social and political media, but there is so little immediate and significant focus on this forced error in our time that we are practically unable to assimilate the depth of the threat to our religion, and thereby to what we euphemistically call our ’western civilization.’ According to the most accurate awareness of people actually paying attention, the challenge has become overwhelming from the sheer scale of the attacks on our spiritual foundations, and by reason of ‘Dis-unity’ our religious institutions are showing the decay of a ‘declared’ status within Christianity, demanding a determination to be faithful to the cause of Christ with a greater degree of immediacy than ever before.
The enemy has stolen a march on us, and if we don’t circle the wagons and get serious about supporting the cause of Christ — Where will the courage and conviction come from? Faith? Or fantasy? If we’re looking into our hearts and seeing only self interest, where can we expect our prayers to go? All the best efforts to create power in combos of self interest (apart from the unity of our faith) will fail, because as Jesus said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world.’ But what did Jesus tell Peter? ‘When you are converted, Feed My sheep.’ And shepards have always been expected to protect the sheep to the best of their ability, concerning even one which is unaccounted for.
May God forgive us for being so ignorant and unconcerned about whole flocks of His sheep — His children.
What are their names?
Liah, and do we even care about the near 90 who are unaccounted for? They have names too.
No one can escape the ‘wake up’ calls that are deluging our senses. People have been seduced with false security in our society, our culture, and what we have regarded as our great tribe in the sky. But we have our being on Earth, not the sky. Others who call on the name of Christ have desperate needs. How can we live in peace knowing the reality of their circumstance?
That first step, with the resolve to take as many as the Lord gives us strength to do, will confirm the faith to finish the journey. We can help each other, if we will.
This is very profound and is so true of me/Christians in the USA. I never knew these things, these travesties were still happening. The situation plays over and over in my mind. The visuals that were portrayed in “The Sound of Freedom”, the truth of the existence, the cruelty and evil. I pray someone/many/myself will spread this message and fight back so that Liah and the missing, are rescued along with countless other innocents out there. Knowledge is power, we must do. Pray, pray, pray, spread the word. Amen! Jesus is Lord! Always and Forever
I hear outrage when Christians are named as victims.
But where is that same outrage when mothers and children are slaughtered, starved, and abused by the tens of thousands in Gaza?
Is it now considered anti-Semitic to call out the actions of the government of Israel when innocent children are bombed, imprisoned, or left to die? Or are you genuinely comfortable witnessing the torture and mass killing of children as long as the perpetrators sit inside a favored political or religious category?
Christianity does not grant moral immunity to any state, government, or ideology. Selective grief is not righteousness.
If your compassion ends where your politics begin, that is not faith. That is tribalism.
Reconcile that dissonance honestly. Christ never asked us to defend power. He asked us to defend the vulnerable, without exception.
If we had a leader (President) that understood what it means to come unto Jesus, trying to be like Jesus, focused on eternal life, he’d be focused on doing more than blowing up a few villages. He’d put troops on the ground in Nigeria, not Venezuela. I did a USAID stent in Nigeria in the early 1970’s and while it was in the River State, far from the north, the people were gracious if not a little uptight at having their new independence. What you have written is true - it is happening here, now. Hating another culture is the beginning. We have been warned about the end of times. “What you have done onto the least of these, you have done unto me.” “Love thy neighbor as thyself” - as we quote His words, we must accept that Lucifer (the fallen archangel) and a third of the heavenly hosts who were kicked out of God’s presence are busy at work, we must also do the work to do as He explained, “Feed my sheep.” What a time to be alive! I hope you find the resources to continue.
What is being described here is not Christlikeness. It is moral confusion dressed up as faith.
To speak of “coming unto Jesus” while casually advocating bombing villages, prioritizing geopolitical convenience over human life, or treating some suffering as expendable is the very hypocrisy Christ condemned most fiercely.
Jesus did not authorize selective compassion. He did not outsource love of neighbor to national interest. He did not excuse violence because it aligned with power, ideology, or fear.
When people who profess Christ justify cruelty, indifference, or domination, that is not Christianity under attack. That is Christianity being hollowed out from within.
The most visible sign of the end times is not persecution from outside the Church. It is the normalization of anti Christ behavior by those who claim His name while rejecting His commands.
If Christianity has lost the moral courage to defend the least of these without qualification, then its claim to offer solutions to the world’s suffering is finished, not because Christ failed, but because His followers refused to obey Him.
“Feed my sheep” was not a metaphor. It was a mandate.
I think if you removed all the religious labels from the 22 million people living in the lake chad basin, this conflict would continue in the same way. What is occurring is an environmental disaster and the fighting is over arable land and water. Religion is a superficial excuse. The death and destruction will continue even if boko haram succeeds winning militarily because the chad lake basin is a closed lake system that will continue to grow smaller as equitorial temperatures rise.
The Church and State have different purposes and goals. The leader of a State can never lead any church successfully; their role is to organize the state of affairs for the continuing domination of capital. If the church is true to worship Jesus, not mammon, then we need to be anti-imperialist. Thank you.
Yes, violent extremism must be confronted. But before invoking eradication, ask yourself this.
Where is your outrage for the tens of thousands slaughtered or starved in Sudan. For the children buried under rubble in Gaza. For the women and girls erased from public life in Afghanistan. For the displaced and abused across Myanmar, the Congo, Haiti, Yemen.
Or do your tears only fall when the victims are Christian.
Christ did not teach selective grief. He did not rank human worth by creed. He did not wait for cruise missiles or presidential approval before commanding compassion.
The deeper dissonance is this. Many who call themselves “good” Christians in the United States avert their eyes from the suffering of millions simply because they are not Christian, not Western, not politically convenient. That is not faith. That is moral tribalism.
Christian nationalism has nothing to do with Christ. It replaces love with power, mercy with domination, and the Gospel with fear.
Jesus said love the stranger. Love the immigrant. Love the neighbor. Love even the enemy.
If our Christianity cannot embrace the full diversity of humanity, then it is not Christianity we are defending. It is an idol made in our own image.
Boko Haram are terrorizing, killing, kidnapping and raping people including children. Eliminating them is eliminating an evil.
However - the United States - is led by a man who is facing the Epstein Transparency Act.
What happened to 1000 girls?
Our country wants Truth. And they want it NOW - not blacked out pages -
Jesus Christ told us to remove the log in our own eye before we do anything about the splinter in our friend’s eye.
Russia has the brutal, Africa Corp. They operate like the Wagner group did.
The United States has its own contractors (without the war crimes tendencies).
Until the United States government does its duty to the American people by complying with the Epstein Transparency Act - perhaps the American contractors could assist the Nigerian government protect Christians.
it takes me about 10 minutes but i've been doing design longer than you have been alive lily but i can show you how to get similar results without having 5 grand of software like i have.
"Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
I keep meaning to write a few articles on The Curse of Canaan. That book is what lead me down this road in the first place. Reading it was like tearing blinders off my eyes.
"Now time grows short. History will not allow the people of Shem additional centuries, or even decades, to come to their senses and realize what is going on. Just as they have been victims of massacres and genocides for centuries, the people of Shem now face the determination of the Canaanites to exterminate them utterly and finally. a goal they hope to achieve by the end of the millenium." The Curse of Canaan.... Eustace Mullins 1987
This quote about Albert Pike is correct. I only saw your publication for the first time, today. Thank you. God bless you and all of us who share and amplify the truth. Please avoid getting dragged or distracted by aggressive slurs from others. Post links to primary source documents and move forward 🤗🤗 Love to all ❤️❤️
It's always important to remember that Barrack Hussein Obama is the one behind Boko Haram. He is the one funding it, arming it, sustaining it. The whole Michelle Obama 'bring back our girls' placard was a mockery of the highest order. The fact that he is lauded as "the best president America ever had" is SICK
Stop spreading false information with zero evidence to back it up.
Your opinion of Obama are not facts, they are just that—opinions and we know how the saying goes….
Especially since you don’t even know that Abraham Lincoln is listed as the best President in all 4 surveys ever done. Obama doesn’t even rank in the top 5.
Immigrants aren’t ICE’s real targets, this is just a warm up. This purge is being carried out by the nutcases who believe these are the E nd Times. You know, the “rapture” people, the E vangelicals, the same ones who stacked the Supreme Court (Heritage Foundation/Federalist Society). According to biblical prophecy, Jesus won’t come back until all of Esau’s little brothers and sisters return to the land of milk and honey. There’s a reason history repeats itself. Everyone who is able, get your attics ready. Saw it on Truth S0cial… including the words “cl3@nse the world of 1nf1dels”. Saw it on T3l3gram too. I’m just the messenger.
Hi, good evrning and keep up faith, folks. I'm a normal Sunni Muslim and concerned as a Muslim and as human with this kind of atrocities, what a horror! It's taking place in so many places and actually, Muslims suffer similar persecution elsewhere, notably in Palestine, Cashmere or Myanmar, but even in the lands of ISIS' terrorism, weren't the majority of victims Muslims? They were. Statistically, Al Qaeda's victims were to a 85% Muslims, too.
I mean, life is sacred. God gives it and to take it unjustly is one of the biggest sins.
Now, I don't mean to make this long here, just wish to explain to my honourable readers who may be Christians, that Islam per se is innocent of this killing and persecution. You may have read contrary statements and I know that politically motivated hatred has driven Christian authorities to vilely attack and slander Islam, but beware: isn't the presence of Christians in Nigeria and all over the Muslim world, notably in the Holy Land, in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey and beyond a proof to the fact, that Muslims didn't persecute them? Remember Saddam's Christian Prime Minister Tariq? Or the monasteries of Palestine and Syria or Iran and Egypt? Or the "mozárabe" Christians of mediaeval Muslim Spain, with their Arabic lettered Gospels and liturgy?
There are other minorities, too, Jews, Zoroastrians, Yazeedi, Sabeans...
Muslim governance protected them, exacting a tax which exempted them from military service, which was 0 for poor labourers in Egypt (heard the data), and 1 dinar (one gold coin) for the whole year in case of a craft master who had his own workshop - much less than what we pay in taxes, definitely!
By the way, Muslims had to pay 2,5% of their wealth to the Treasury yearly by Qur'anic order, which was also spent on non-Muslim citizens.
May God Almighty guide us all and send us as soon as possible Jesus Christ to establish justice on Earth, we Muslims wait for him, too!
I should have made it clear that this is NOT an anti-Islamic article. This is SPECIFICALLY about the same sort of evil that infected the Catholic Church during the Crusades. People claiming to follow God who ABSOLUTELY are not. This is a political movement pretending to be Islamic in nature.
Yes, Mr. Wise (indeed) Wolf, definitely. Truth is Divine, therefore will always come up&out finally!
As a matter of fact, we got detailed info about how the British managed to create that Wahabi/Salafi sect, because Hampher, their spy/agent, by the end of his life wrote his memoirs, and this book was found and reprinted, a funny read indeed!
Though, as believers, we know that everything is as Good wills and by His will happens cause and effect, and eventually effect without cause, too (the miracles).
So, our Lord Almighty wished for this worst tribulation for Muslims to happen (it has done more harm than Crusaders, Mongols and Anglo-American imperialism, Communism or even Zionism, because it attacked the very spiritual foundation of faith, which is to understand religion as a instrument to take you closer to your Lord, by perverting it into a socio-political ideology, which, once you become void of the fruits of sincere faith, turn your subsequent frustration into hate and violent aggressively, setting the ground for bloodthirsty terrorism) and sees the patience and resilience of the believer, and how many have been martyred by ISIS and others!
Life is a test.
By the way, look how in the Holy Land, Muslim and Christian Palestinians endure and suffer together and support each other brotherly, with mutual respect and love. In Lebanon, there are Christian fighters in the files of Hizbullah, too, which to many a Western might sound surprising.
So, thanks for your reply: there's hope, sincere believers, also fromour Jewish "cousins" understand and respect each other, because there's no need to judge - this will be up to the Lord!
It is sad how the 3 faiths that all share a direct lineage to Abraham and beyond have been pitted against one another for thousands of years by Shaitan.
Well, it's the Jews who completely deny Jesus Christ peace be upon him, and also Muhammad, while Muslims necessarily believe in the whole of Messengers of the Lord, and there has been Christian confessions historically who believed like Muslims and shunned Trinity, while on the other side Muslims love the Virgin Mary, and a whole chapter of the Holy Qur'an is named after her...
Then, deluded protestants love Jews who spit in return on Christian visitors in the Holy Land, where Zionists bomb churches and harass both Muslim and Christian Palestinians, while Muslim authorities thru centuries have been the guardians of churches and patriarchs.
But you're comfortable with your hatred, which is not proper for a Christian at all!
I’m not a Christian, but I will share this report, because it’s shocking. You are absolutely correct to say that a lot of noise was made about the girls abducted from the school in Chibok many years ago, and then silence.There has also been persecution of Christians in occupied Palestine, but none of us are allowed to criticise the zionist entity. I see some people here saying that “it’s the muslims” - what garbage. Any true follower of any religion will work for peace and harmony first - as do many of us who do not have a religion, but do have faith in the essential good of the vast majority of people in the world.
This was an informative and beneficial article — until the fear-mongering began.
The same secular government that prohibits you from imposing your faith on others protects you from those who would impose their religion on you.
And conflating Christianity with a slavish adherence to the literal meaning of the Bible is equally damaging to your message.
You would have been far more productive issuing a call to action — demanding that the U.S. use its influence and, where necessary, its economic and military power, to protect freedom of religion around the world.
Unfortunately, Trump and the other fake Christians associated with his administration will complain that protecting Christians in Nigeria isn't "America First."
Over 20,000 Ukrainian children abducted by Putin‘s Russia and „adopted“ by Russian families. One hears very little concern over this in America, especially from the party of „Christian Family values“.
In Australian history, the Christians did the kidnapping of children, right through the 20th century. They decided the indigenous were savages and needed to learn the ways of Christ. This was an evil act and thousands of mothers never knew what happened to their kids or ever saw them again. That’s the problem with most religions, the arrogance, the belief that theirs is superior and the rest are the spawn of some evil god. The Nigerian genocide of Christians is being performed by a particular sect of Islam, just as the persecution of non whites in America is being carried out by a particular sect of Christianity.
You miss the entire point, while dancing around it with biblical teachings, religious wars have been the curse of mankind forever. How many were killed in the Crusades, how many were burnt at the stake during the Spanish Inquistion in the name of Psalm 73." ("Arise, Lord, and judge your cause"), how many women were burnt at the stake as godless creatures during the purging of the witches? The list of war and murder due to religious conflict or decrees is recorded in the blood of millions over the millennia.
This is not to say ideology is not responsible for wars and under some, like Pol Pot, the religious were persecuted alongside people suspected of not complying with the new directive.
Don’t conflate the writings of ancient biblical scholars, disciples etc with the simple brutality that exists in the DNA of the human being. Humans can be and are a cruel species, not because they subscribe to particular religion but because the religion gives them cover for their bloodlust.
The Nigerian ‘situation’ is largely ignored in the West because of racism, the blacker the victims, the less we give a shit. Trump has expressed concern for the white victims of black vengeance in South Africa and we’re all supposed to readily accept them as refugees but does nothing for the Nigerians.
And as for some comments about Obama encouraging the situation, pathetic in the extreme, white ‘Christian’ nationalists spewing hate for the first black President.
Which brings me to why the jewish are wondering what’s with the perceived rise in antisemitism? Israel, a religious state, is actively committing a genocide because the bent Zionist take on Judaism. People of the first testament being godless monsters.
Do not forget that in our country USA, indigenous children were taken to Indian Schools, where most did not survive, in order to indoctrinate them into “Western” society and so- called “Christianity”. Call yourself a “Christian” and you share the blame for all misdeeds of the Catholic Church, as well. Call yourself a follower of Christ and his teachings, then you remember his true words and I believe you. The current government in the US is an example of killing being done in the name of “Christianity”. You need look no further for Christian children currently being kidnapped and disappeared than to look at what is currently happening in this country. Why not focus on the brown, black, and red Christians who are being sent to torture prisons outside of the country or put in intolerable conditions in internment camps in our country for the sin of being “of color”? It is all the same, whether here or in Nigeria, or anywhere else.
Why are you on here? You realize this is a CHRISTIAN newsletter and what you are doing is called 'trolling' which is what weird people with no life do when they are bored.
When you come onto a CHRISTIAN PUBLICATION deliberately talking shit on our religion like this is some political soapbox democrat vs republican slop party - then YES, that is ABSOLUTELY WHAT TROLLING IS you freakin' half-witted Satanist.
I would much rather sit in my recliner and watch television, like a sporting event, (I love basketball, football, baseball)
2.) it was far too compelling, it wouldn’t let me stop reading.
I would much rather “skim & skip” it and say: “That’s awful, that shouldn’t be happening” and then go on to something “Far more uplifting.”
3.) it was too long!
I would much prefer to just get to the point and not have it broken down. The “Low Lights” could’ve all been said in a way that would be much less grotesque. It could have been said, all in one paragraph.
4. ) It was written as if you expected me to do something about it.
Apparently, you didn’t know. I’m a 71-year-old Gramps who lives in a nice warm house and attends a great church and I have enough money to be comfortable, I’m like many other retired Americans. What do you expect me to do?
5. ) You had the audacity to tell me what I could do how to do it and how to feel.
Thank you so much for posting this. This is such a REAL description of human nature and the sickness we've been known to commit. If it's been done before, trust and believe,that it will be done again. We just need to grow up and ACCEPT it,then deal with it accordingly. Sick animals have always been here, still are,and always will be! I'm not talking about the Lions, tigers, etc either. The actual animals are not to blame either.
Shared. Thank you for putting this out there. The silence was deafening.
Sorry to hear about the weird loss of subscribers. I have only recently discovered you and value your work.

If we had a leader (President) that understood what it means to come unto Jesus, trying to be like Jesus, focused on eternal life, he’d be focused on doing more than blowing up a few villages. He’d put troops on the ground in Nigeria, not Venezuela. I did a USAID stent in Nigeria in the early 1970’s and while it was in the River State, far from the north, the people were gracious if not a little uptight at having their new independence. What you have written is true - it is happening here, now. Hating another culture is the beginning. We have been warned about the end of times. “What you have done onto the least of these, you have done unto me.” “Love thy neighbor as thyself” - as we quote His words, we must accept that Lucifer (the fallen archangel) and a third of the heavenly hosts who were kicked out of God’s presence are busy at work, we must also do the work to do as He explained, “Feed my sheep.” What a time to be alive! I hope you find the resources to continue.
What is being described here is not Christlikeness. It is moral confusion dressed up as faith.
To speak of “coming unto Jesus” while casually advocating bombing villages, prioritizing geopolitical convenience over human life, or treating some suffering as expendable is the very hypocrisy Christ condemned most fiercely.
Jesus did not authorize selective compassion. He did not outsource love of neighbor to national interest. He did not excuse violence because it aligned with power, ideology, or fear.
When people who profess Christ justify cruelty, indifference, or domination, that is not Christianity under attack. That is Christianity being hollowed out from within.
The most visible sign of the end times is not persecution from outside the Church. It is the normalization of anti Christ behavior by those who claim His name while rejecting His commands.
If Christianity has lost the moral courage to defend the least of these without qualification, then its claim to offer solutions to the world’s suffering is finished, not because Christ failed, but because His followers refused to obey Him.
“Feed my sheep” was not a metaphor. It was a mandate.
I think if you removed all the religious labels from the 22 million people living in the lake chad basin, this conflict would continue in the same way. What is occurring is an environmental disaster and the fighting is over arable land and water. Religion is a superficial excuse. The death and destruction will continue even if boko haram succeeds winning militarily because the chad lake basin is a closed lake system that will continue to grow smaller as equitorial temperatures rise.
The Church and State have different purposes and goals. The leader of a State can never lead any church successfully; their role is to organize the state of affairs for the continuing domination of capital. If the church is true to worship Jesus, not mammon, then we need to be anti-imperialist. Thank you.
Charge them with what ever you can
“Boko Haram needs to be eradicated.”
Yes, violent extremism must be confronted. But before invoking eradication, ask yourself this.
Where is your outrage for the tens of thousands slaughtered or starved in Sudan. For the children buried under rubble in Gaza. For the women and girls erased from public life in Afghanistan. For the displaced and abused across Myanmar, the Congo, Haiti, Yemen.
Or do your tears only fall when the victims are Christian.
Christ did not teach selective grief. He did not rank human worth by creed. He did not wait for cruise missiles or presidential approval before commanding compassion.
The deeper dissonance is this. Many who call themselves “good” Christians in the United States avert their eyes from the suffering of millions simply because they are not Christian, not Western, not politically convenient. That is not faith. That is moral tribalism.
Christian nationalism has nothing to do with Christ. It replaces love with power, mercy with domination, and the Gospel with fear.
Jesus said love the stranger. Love the immigrant. Love the neighbor. Love even the enemy.
If our Christianity cannot embrace the full diversity of humanity, then it is not Christianity we are defending. It is an idol made in our own image.
Boko Haram are terrorizing, killing, kidnapping and raping people including children. Eliminating them is eliminating an evil.
However - the United States - is led by a man who is facing the Epstein Transparency Act.
What happened to 1000 girls?
Our country wants Truth. And they want it NOW - not blacked out pages -
Jesus Christ told us to remove the log in our own eye before we do anything about the splinter in our friend’s eye.
Russia has the brutal, Africa Corp. They operate like the Wagner group did.
The United States has its own contractors (without the war crimes tendencies).
Until the United States government does its duty to the American people by complying with the Epstein Transparency Act - perhaps the American contractors could assist the Nigerian government protect Christians.
that animated banner graphic looks lit! you gotta teach me how you make these sometime if it isn't too hard.
it takes me about 10 minutes but i've been doing design longer than you have been alive lily but i can show you how to get similar results without having 5 grand of software like i have.

"Albert Pike had promised his Masonic allies in Europe that they would have three world wars to consolidate the world power of the Canaanites. We have now seen two of those world wars, and, as promised, the first world war was to set up a Communist regime, the second world war was to raise it to the status of a world power, and the third world war is planned to destroy both Communism and Christianity in a great orgy of annihilation. This coming war is intended to be the final death knell of the people of Shem; after its conclusion the Canaanites will reign unchallenged throughout the world."
Eustace Mullins
The Curse of Canaan
I keep meaning to write a few articles on The Curse of Canaan. That book is what lead me down this road in the first place. Reading it was like tearing blinders off my eyes.
"Now time grows short. History will not allow the people of Shem additional centuries, or even decades, to come to their senses and realize what is going on. Just as they have been victims of massacres and genocides for centuries, the people of Shem now face the determination of the Canaanites to exterminate them utterly and finally. a goal they hope to achieve by the end of the millenium." The Curse of Canaan.... Eustace Mullins 1987
“People of Shem” = Shemites
The word has been usurped and distorted.
Please write it so others can see
This quote about Albert Pike is correct. I only saw your publication for the first time, today. Thank you. God bless you and all of us who share and amplify the truth. Please avoid getting dragged or distracted by aggressive slurs from others. Post links to primary source documents and move forward 🤗🤗 Love to all ❤️❤️
Read that book. It was amazing to learn what I never knew.
It's always important to remember that Barrack Hussein Obama is the one behind Boko Haram. He is the one funding it, arming it, sustaining it. The whole Michelle Obama 'bring back our girls' placard was a mockery of the highest order. The fact that he is lauded as "the best president America ever had" is SICK
Stop 🛑 it. Not True 😵💫‼️
Yes. It. Is.
This was done in Obama’s term of office.
Exactly. He knew about it, enabled and sustained it.
You’re an idiot
Got any evidence for that... remarkable claim?
Receipts??
That’s a bunch of nonsense Jolene. Obama and his wife are Christian’s unlike this devil and his minions in our WH now.
Muslim Brotherhood
Stop spreading false information with zero evidence to back it up.
Your opinion of Obama are not facts, they are just that—opinions and we know how the saying goes….
Especially since you don’t even know that Abraham Lincoln is listed as the best President in all 4 surveys ever done. Obama doesn’t even rank in the top 5.
Immigrants aren’t ICE’s real targets, this is just a warm up. This purge is being carried out by the nutcases who believe these are the E nd Times. You know, the “rapture” people, the E vangelicals, the same ones who stacked the Supreme Court (Heritage Foundation/Federalist Society). According to biblical prophecy, Jesus won’t come back until all of Esau’s little brothers and sisters return to the land of milk and honey. There’s a reason history repeats itself. Everyone who is able, get your attics ready. Saw it on Truth S0cial… including the words “cl3@nse the world of 1nf1dels”. Saw it on T3l3gram too. I’m just the messenger.
Mmm…. this comment (&like) just made me hesitate to subscribe. Reminded me if the saying….beware of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
If only people like u had your own country away from us.
Also reminded me that false prophets tell much truth but ‘shoot themselves in the foot’ at some point.
Our prayers are working 50 have escaped captivity, I just heard on the news 🙏🙏🙏
Wondering if we should all pray at the same time or on a zoom call?!
Hi, good evrning and keep up faith, folks. I'm a normal Sunni Muslim and concerned as a Muslim and as human with this kind of atrocities, what a horror! It's taking place in so many places and actually, Muslims suffer similar persecution elsewhere, notably in Palestine, Cashmere or Myanmar, but even in the lands of ISIS' terrorism, weren't the majority of victims Muslims? They were. Statistically, Al Qaeda's victims were to a 85% Muslims, too.
I mean, life is sacred. God gives it and to take it unjustly is one of the biggest sins.
Now, I don't mean to make this long here, just wish to explain to my honourable readers who may be Christians, that Islam per se is innocent of this killing and persecution. You may have read contrary statements and I know that politically motivated hatred has driven Christian authorities to vilely attack and slander Islam, but beware: isn't the presence of Christians in Nigeria and all over the Muslim world, notably in the Holy Land, in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey and beyond a proof to the fact, that Muslims didn't persecute them? Remember Saddam's Christian Prime Minister Tariq? Or the monasteries of Palestine and Syria or Iran and Egypt? Or the "mozárabe" Christians of mediaeval Muslim Spain, with their Arabic lettered Gospels and liturgy?
There are other minorities, too, Jews, Zoroastrians, Yazeedi, Sabeans...
Muslim governance protected them, exacting a tax which exempted them from military service, which was 0 for poor labourers in Egypt (heard the data), and 1 dinar (one gold coin) for the whole year in case of a craft master who had his own workshop - much less than what we pay in taxes, definitely!
By the way, Muslims had to pay 2,5% of their wealth to the Treasury yearly by Qur'anic order, which was also spent on non-Muslim citizens.
May God Almighty guide us all and send us as soon as possible Jesus Christ to establish justice on Earth, we Muslims wait for him, too!
I should have made it clear that this is NOT an anti-Islamic article. This is SPECIFICALLY about the same sort of evil that infected the Catholic Church during the Crusades. People claiming to follow God who ABSOLUTELY are not. This is a political movement pretending to be Islamic in nature.
Yes, Mr. Wise (indeed) Wolf, definitely. Truth is Divine, therefore will always come up&out finally!
As a matter of fact, we got detailed info about how the British managed to create that Wahabi/Salafi sect, because Hampher, their spy/agent, by the end of his life wrote his memoirs, and this book was found and reprinted, a funny read indeed!
Though, as believers, we know that everything is as Good wills and by His will happens cause and effect, and eventually effect without cause, too (the miracles).
So, our Lord Almighty wished for this worst tribulation for Muslims to happen (it has done more harm than Crusaders, Mongols and Anglo-American imperialism, Communism or even Zionism, because it attacked the very spiritual foundation of faith, which is to understand religion as a instrument to take you closer to your Lord, by perverting it into a socio-political ideology, which, once you become void of the fruits of sincere faith, turn your subsequent frustration into hate and violent aggressively, setting the ground for bloodthirsty terrorism) and sees the patience and resilience of the believer, and how many have been martyred by ISIS and others!
Life is a test.
By the way, look how in the Holy Land, Muslim and Christian Palestinians endure and suffer together and support each other brotherly, with mutual respect and love. In Lebanon, there are Christian fighters in the files of Hizbullah, too, which to many a Western might sound surprising.
So, thanks for your reply: there's hope, sincere believers, also fromour Jewish "cousins" understand and respect each other, because there's no need to judge - this will be up to the Lord!
It is sad how the 3 faiths that all share a direct lineage to Abraham and beyond have been pitted against one another for thousands of years by Shaitan.
Well, that devil wasn't going to sit idly while people worship their Lord and treat each other with compassion!
Well, it's the Jews who completely deny Jesus Christ peace be upon him, and also Muhammad, while Muslims necessarily believe in the whole of Messengers of the Lord, and there has been Christian confessions historically who believed like Muslims and shunned Trinity, while on the other side Muslims love the Virgin Mary, and a whole chapter of the Holy Qur'an is named after her...
Then, deluded protestants love Jews who spit in return on Christian visitors in the Holy Land, where Zionists bomb churches and harass both Muslim and Christian Palestinians, while Muslim authorities thru centuries have been the guardians of churches and patriarchs.
But you're comfortable with your hatred, which is not proper for a Christian at all!
I’m not a Christian, but I will share this report, because it’s shocking. You are absolutely correct to say that a lot of noise was made about the girls abducted from the school in Chibok many years ago, and then silence.There has also been persecution of Christians in occupied Palestine, but none of us are allowed to criticise the zionist entity. I see some people here saying that “it’s the muslims” - what garbage. Any true follower of any religion will work for peace and harmony first - as do many of us who do not have a religion, but do have faith in the essential good of the vast majority of people in the world.
I've been praying for persecuted Christians regularly. VOM
Adding to daily prayers and sharing.
Keep the faith re your subscribers. Happy to be a paying subscriber. 😊
This was an informative and beneficial article — until the fear-mongering began.
The same secular government that prohibits you from imposing your faith on others protects you from those who would impose their religion on you.
And conflating Christianity with a slavish adherence to the literal meaning of the Bible is equally damaging to your message.
You would have been far more productive issuing a call to action — demanding that the U.S. use its influence and, where necessary, its economic and military power, to protect freedom of religion around the world.
Unfortunately, Trump and the other fake Christians associated with his administration will complain that protecting Christians in Nigeria isn't "America First."
The Bible speaks of a time like this. Christians even being beheaded and America invaded as our leaders betray you to your enemies.
Whether it is Muslim, immigrants, or the Chinese.
Over 20,000 Ukrainian children abducted by Putin‘s Russia and „adopted“ by Russian families. One hears very little concern over this in America, especially from the party of „Christian Family values“.
In Australian history, the Christians did the kidnapping of children, right through the 20th century. They decided the indigenous were savages and needed to learn the ways of Christ. This was an evil act and thousands of mothers never knew what happened to their kids or ever saw them again. That’s the problem with most religions, the arrogance, the belief that theirs is superior and the rest are the spawn of some evil god. The Nigerian genocide of Christians is being performed by a particular sect of Islam, just as the persecution of non whites in America is being carried out by a particular sect of Christianity.
You miss the entire point, while dancing around it with biblical teachings, religious wars have been the curse of mankind forever. How many were killed in the Crusades, how many were burnt at the stake during the Spanish Inquistion in the name of Psalm 73." ("Arise, Lord, and judge your cause"), how many women were burnt at the stake as godless creatures during the purging of the witches? The list of war and murder due to religious conflict or decrees is recorded in the blood of millions over the millennia.
This is not to say ideology is not responsible for wars and under some, like Pol Pot, the religious were persecuted alongside people suspected of not complying with the new directive.
Don’t conflate the writings of ancient biblical scholars, disciples etc with the simple brutality that exists in the DNA of the human being. Humans can be and are a cruel species, not because they subscribe to particular religion but because the religion gives them cover for their bloodlust.
The Nigerian ‘situation’ is largely ignored in the West because of racism, the blacker the victims, the less we give a shit. Trump has expressed concern for the white victims of black vengeance in South Africa and we’re all supposed to readily accept them as refugees but does nothing for the Nigerians.
And as for some comments about Obama encouraging the situation, pathetic in the extreme, white ‘Christian’ nationalists spewing hate for the first black President.
Which brings me to why the jewish are wondering what’s with the perceived rise in antisemitism? Israel, a religious state, is actively committing a genocide because the bent Zionist take on Judaism. People of the first testament being godless monsters.
Do not forget that in our country USA, indigenous children were taken to Indian Schools, where most did not survive, in order to indoctrinate them into “Western” society and so- called “Christianity”. Call yourself a “Christian” and you share the blame for all misdeeds of the Catholic Church, as well. Call yourself a follower of Christ and his teachings, then you remember his true words and I believe you. The current government in the US is an example of killing being done in the name of “Christianity”. You need look no further for Christian children currently being kidnapped and disappeared than to look at what is currently happening in this country. Why not focus on the brown, black, and red Christians who are being sent to torture prisons outside of the country or put in intolerable conditions in internment camps in our country for the sin of being “of color”? It is all the same, whether here or in Nigeria, or anywhere else.
Why are you on here? You realize this is a CHRISTIAN newsletter and what you are doing is called 'trolling' which is what weird people with no life do when they are bored.
This is why you lose more subscribers. An actual “true Christian” wouldn’t speak to another human being in this manner period.
When you come onto a CHRISTIAN PUBLICATION deliberately talking shit on our religion like this is some political soapbox democrat vs republican slop party - then YES, that is ABSOLUTELY WHAT TROLLING IS you freakin' half-witted Satanist.
To be honest, I didn’t like what you said at all.
There were multiple reasons why I didn’t like it.
1. ) It made me feel uncomfortable.
I would much rather sit in my recliner and watch television, like a sporting event, (I love basketball, football, baseball)
2.) it was far too compelling, it wouldn’t let me stop reading.
I would much rather “skim & skip” it and say: “That’s awful, that shouldn’t be happening” and then go on to something “Far more uplifting.”
3.) it was too long!
I would much prefer to just get to the point and not have it broken down. The “Low Lights” could’ve all been said in a way that would be much less grotesque. It could have been said, all in one paragraph.
4. ) It was written as if you expected me to do something about it.
Apparently, you didn’t know. I’m a 71-year-old Gramps who lives in a nice warm house and attends a great church and I have enough money to be comfortable, I’m like many other retired Americans. What do you expect me to do?
5. ) You had the audacity to tell me what I could do how to do it and how to feel.

Thanks. Again.
Hello 👋🏼. Nice to meet you!
I've been looking for SOMEONE like YOU! ❣️
Thank you so much for posting this. This is such a REAL description of human nature and the sickness we've been known to commit. If it's been done before, trust and believe,that it will be done again. We just need to grow up and ACCEPT it,then deal with it accordingly. Sick animals have always been here, still are,and always will be! I'm not talking about the Lions, tigers, etc either. The actual animals are not to blame either.
