That’s What Christians Do Now
New A,erican Prophet ^ | August 7, 2024 | Rob Pue

Posted on 08/07/2024 5:18:42 AM PDT by Rev M. Bresciani

I’ve now been in full time ministry work with Wisconsin Christian News for over 25 years. For over 25 years, I’ve been sounding the alarm and doing my best to send out “wake up calls” to Christians, who see the evil in our land, but feel powerless to do anything about it, because they’ve never been trained for the work of the ministry. They’ve never been asked to do anything, other than greet people at the door, hand out programs, pass the collection plate or work in the nursery — all within the four walls of their own churches.

Others have been watchmen on the wall much longer than I have. Some 50 or 60 years longer than I have, and they’re still faithful servants. Some have passed away since I began my work, but they served our Lord and Savior right to the end. They never “retired” from the work God set before them.

One such minister was Don Wildmon, who was the president of the American Family Association. He stepped down from that position in 2009, only because he was diagnosed with serious health issues. He passed away at the end of last year at the age of 85, though few noticed or even knew about it.

I just read the article. He is so right. I’ve watched this silence in the church with frustration. I’ve observed the steady moral decline of our country during my lifetime. I am greatly concerned about the woke influence on my grandchildren.

Last Sunday a guest preacher told us to “judge not” when it came to abortion.

Thank you for posting. Am printing it to show others.

This is an excellent essay. I can’t agree more. Thanks for posting it. Also, I didn’t realize Don Wildmon had passed away.

When the Government has legally separted itself from being under God, all else that follows becomes evil, layer upon layer, and it’s legal but not constitutional.

Not unusual. I was a member of a church that once fired a minister for condemning slavery.

He wrote a good sermon. I wonder if it changed anybody.

Far too many pastors seem not to want to teach the hard stuff.

One of my previous pasters used to use the line. "Not of offend anybody, but that's how it was 2,000 years ago." He was great at adding context to scripture, but never said "This is what Jesus expects from you as Christians".

I pray today that we hear was this article has to say. That I stop "Going to Church, hear the sermon, and then go home". I pray that I do and say the hard things that people need to hear. I pray for all of us.

I liked that my old church had a sign at the exit of the parking lot that said, “You are now entering the mission field”.
