Dear People Who Are Quiet About Abused Christians (October 9, 2015)

CORRECTION: Not “Your”...It should be “OUR Silence”

Dear People who are quiet about abused Christians:

     There is a rampant evil now lurking in the ministry and it is unchecked, power hungry men who are masquerading as men of God. Not a problem, IF we have real Christian men in churches. They can easily rebuke, weed out, wicked men in the ministry. And the epistles tell how it should be done. Somehow though, men’s voices have fallen silent. Are they ill? They whisper about it privately, and tell the abused victims to pray, and go watch movies about prayer, but they themselves are weak and unwilling to fight for those (typically elderly, women, and children) that have been beaten, oppressed, manipulated, terrorized, slandered, destroyed. Do you really not understand that victims CANNOT speak up more than once. ALERT: That’s why they were beaten up in the first place. They have suffered things you cannot imagine. Since when do soldiers send out their wounded to fight the enemy? It was standard procedure to tend the wounded and protect them with YOUR OWN LIFE in the battlefield. Are our Christian soldier men now running for cover, and telling the wounded they pass by, 'You are on your own brother/sister, be brave, pray hard, God will defend you!' As they dive into a foxhole to escape being detected by the enemy.
     The Lord says it well when he admonished us long ago: Isaiah 59:12-19 and again in Luke 10:29-37, could you take a minute to open your bible and read them?
     Remember quiet Christians, mercy requires action on your part. Speak UP for those who cannot anymore. Fight for them. TRY to stop those who are destroying them. And stop telling the wounded to do their own fighting. If you do not defend and protect them, no one will.
