If some kind person would “light” the link, it would be profoundly appreciated .
...when tomorrow comes.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
“As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.”
SING A LITTLE LOUDER
After a speech, pro-life activist Penny Lea was approached by an old man. Weeping, he told her the following story:
“I lived in Germany during the Nazi holocaust. I considered myself a Christian. I attended church since I was a small boy. We had heard the stories of what was happening to the Jews, but like most people today in this country, we tried to distance ourselves from the reality of what was really taking place. What could anyone do to stop it?
A railroad track ran behind our small church, and each Sunday morning we would hear the whistle from a distance and then the clacking of the wheels moving over the track. We became disturbed when one Sunday we noticed cries coming from the train as it passed by. We grimly realized that the train was carrying Jews. They were like cattle in those cars!
Week after week that train whistle would blow. We would dread to hear the sound of those old wheels because we knew that the Jews would begin to cry out to us as they passed our church. It was so terribly disturbing! We could do nothing to help these poor miserable people, yet their screams tormented us. We knew exactly at what time that whistle would blow, and we decided the only way to keep from being so disturbed by the cries was to start singing our hymns. By the time that train came rumbling past the church yard, we were singing at the top of our voices. If some of the screams reached our ears, we’d just sing a little louder until we could hear them no more. Years have passed and no one talks about it much anymore, but I still hear that train whistle in my sleep. I can still hear them crying out for help. God forgive all of us who called ourselves Christians, yet did nothing to intervene.
“Their screams tormented us . . . If some of their screams reached our ears we’d just sing a little louder.”
Now, so many years later, I see it happening all over again in America. God forgive you as Americans for you have blocked out the screams of millions of your own children. The holocaust is here. The response is the same as it was in my country - SILENCE!”
Have you ever wondered HOW people could have stood by and let the holocaust just happen? Do you wonder why the Christians in this story chose to just sing their praise to God a little louder to drown out the victim’s cries?
The old man’s story is in the past. The past cannot be changed. It is easy to think we would act differently now. But the old man’s last words are haunting “It’s happening all over again in America with abortion. The Holocaust is here.”
As American Christians, we have become so comfortable in our lovely buildings and padded pews. We have beautiful fellowship halls for our many banquets. We have the latest sound equipment for our praise and worship. We have computers to keep our records. We gather together each week and shut ourselves inside our buildings. We raise our voices as loud as we can, all in the name of God.
And yet, in the heavenly realm, our voices raised in praise are drowned out by screams of agony from millions of babies who are being executed before they are born. We can’t see them. We can’t hear them. But it is happening right now!
Babies are being aborted UP UNTIL THE DAY OF BIRTH in this country. Their organs and brains are “harvested” for use in medical experimentation. In Wichita, Kansas, the smoke stack from the furnace of Dr. Tiller’s abortion clinic belches out black smoke and the sickening smell of burning flesh. These are the bodies of 7th, 8th and 9th month old babies being “disposed of”.
If the Christians in the old man’s church had done something, they would have probably been killed. That is not the case with us. We don’t even have that as an excuse for our silence.
Years from now will you be like that old man trying to explain your apathy as millions were led away to slaughter in abortion clinics? Or will you raise your voice and cry out in protest for those who have no voice! The choice is YOURS!
Yeah, and smoking dope is illegal too! How's THAT working out for them?
Well, The People better be prepared to do a heck of a lot more than just sing if we do triumph in turning back this full frontal assault the Marxists [and Muslims] have launched after a century of well-conceived strategies, dirty tactics, and relentless effort. Those who would enslave us are not afraid to fight to win. We are.
What good will singing do if we allow those who ordered and led this treasonous charge to pay no price for it? They will merely slink off and regroup for the next assault in a few decades, decades they will spend continuing to erode the bulwarks of our morals, our strengths and our institutions, continuing to hone their strategies and tactics, continuing to amass resources.
We will think we have won if we succeed in this election. We will naively think these people will get the message, will realize they cannot win, will see the errors of their ways, will realize our truth and come over to our side. And we will sing. And we will be nice, forgiving, tolerant. And we will be fools.
These people are completely and forever dedicated to this cause, fighting their own brand of Jihad, Total War ala Sherman and Sheridan, taking no prisoners, giving no quarter. We, on the other hand, are posting threads on the internet about singing songs.
Don’t forget to end the war on drugs, too.
A hundred or so years ago, you had the freedom to buy any drug you wanted.

Your post is very much appreciated. The piece was done quite well and I like those kinds of things.
Singing makes me feel good, but unfortunately, it does not change reality.
If we lose this election, if our country is not turned around, if we do not find a way to defeat the enemy within, our songs will fall on deaf ears.
Please know that I understand your intent of the post and I share your wishes, but I believe that if we lose this elections, such songs will be nothing but old songs and dead wishes.
God save the Republic....
