What are we doing?

I find myself screaming at the Computer monitor as I see article after article , video after video, outlining the path we are traveling as a nation.

As I go throughout my day, no one seems to be concerned, oblivious might be a better term.  If you try to talk to them about it, you get labeled as a downer or crazy.

This must be what God meant by hardening hearts so they do not see.  Or care not to see the truth right in front of them.

The biggest disappointment are the fellow Christians that treat it that way.  Uninterested.  To busy to think about it.

Jesus called us to be watchmen, he said we should be watching for these signs and to warn others when we see them.

I am still praying about what that means.  I do know he says they will be held to a different standard, those that know and say nothing.

We are not to just ride it out…

We must attempt to sound the alarm.

Lord open their eyes, help me sound the alarm!

Officials from Egypt’s Brotherhood at White House

White House officials held talks with representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood in Washington this week, as the Islamist group threw itself into the fray in Egypt’s presidential election.

The meeting on Tuesday with low-level National Security Council staff was part of a series of US efforts to broaden engagement with new and emerging political parties following Egypt’s revolution last year, a US official said.

The White House pointed out that Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain, and other US lawmakers and officials had also met with Brotherhood representatives in Egypt and elsewhere in recent months.

“We believe that it is in the interest of the United States to engage with all parties that are committed to democratic principles, especially nonviolence,” said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor.

“In all our conversations with these groups, we emphasize the importance of respect for minority rights, the full inclusion of women, and our regional security concerns.”

The Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, said on Saturday it would nominate Khairat al-Shater, a professor of engineering and business tycoon, to contest Egypt’s first presidential election since a popular uprising ousted Hosni Mubarak last year.

The Islamists, who control parliament, had repeatedly said they would not put forward a member for the election in order to mitigate fears that they were trying to monopolize power.

If you have not asked Christ into your life, the essential gospel is that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and that He was raised on the third day (1 Cor. 15:3-4).  Believing this is the only qualification for salvation.  We are sinners in need of a savior.  Jesus died for our sins, and to prove that His death was sufficient for us,  God raised Him from the dead on the third day. Believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead is our assurance that He will raise us, too.
 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (1 Cor. 15:3-4).

One simple question sums this topic up for me: 

“How do you reason with someone that wants to kill you?”

It defies logic, but then again, we are living in a world where 2+2=3 for a lot of people.

It is an area where you can really see the “hardening of the heart” that God talks about.  No matter what the outcome or results you are seeing, those that believe in appeasement, continue more of the same.  The words of Ezekiel echo in my head “have you come to plunder and take spoils?”

It is a result of history repeating itself.  And ultimately, our own fault for not valuing history and instead only what is new and progressive.

Todd does a great job laying out what the outcome has been and where it is leading us.

Muslim Appeasement Has Been a Disaster

America’s longstanding policy of Muslim appeasement has been a complete failure. We started on this path thinking that acts of kindness will somehow separate the good Muslims from the extremists. Our efforts have only made maters worse. The Middle East has become more radicalized than at any point in the past.

Afghanistan is a prime example of our failed labors. We have spent over $440 billion trying to make that nation a better place, and intolerance has only gotten worse under our watch. The post-Taliban was even nice enough to pass a constitution that ensures the free exercise of religion. It was as pointless as having a fox put his paw print on a contract that guarantees he won’t eat the chickens he’s left to guard. According to the U.S. State Department, there is not a single public Christian church left in Afghanistan. They have all been destroyed by various Muslim forces. The State Department also said there is only one Jewish resident left in Afghanistan. At one time, there were thousands of Jews in that land.
