Germany, like most of Europe, has become incredibly secular-socialist. They abort their own children and import Muslims for labor. Will Europe return to Christianity before it is too late?

It’ll be interesting to see how much traction Merkel’s view gains outside of the CDU in Germany. If Germany gets serious about this issue will other European countries follow their lead?

No doubt zer0 finds all this very disturbing.

It is interesting to read the comments of a world leader I have some respect for, instead of the Obama lama dingdong.

Germany needs to understand the Muslims are not the Jews and this is not 1940.

Islam is an evil, predatory cult out to dominate the world, and its membership is composed of maniacal, ignorant savages who mutilate their own women and murder non-Muslims.

Its as simple as that.

"Of course, we're for freedom to practice one's faith," she said. "But that also means religious freedom cannot stop at our borders. That applies also for Christians in other countries around the world."

This sounds like a moral absolute, hence the ping.

Did Merkel just loose her Medal of Freedom?

I don't know what Angela Merkel believes, so I write with a disclaimer that I may not necessarily agree with her definition or take on Christianity.

Nevertheless, the general theme of her comments at least parallel what we have been saying and writing for a long time about the situation in the United States.

Ultimately, the best way to prevent Sharia law in the USA is for Bible-believing Christians to go out and win Muslims to Jesus Christ by the preaching of the Gospel of the Grace of God.

We are on a foreign field winning people to Christ from Pagan religion (as well as from distorted Christendom). If I were to again be planted (that is, my labors planted) within the USA, I would be spending several hours a day initially preparing a ministry to win Muslims to Jesus Christ by personal evangelism and public preaching, and I would then be going after it hard.

I suggest going particularly to Muslim young people who have put themselves in a public atmosphere. College campuses and public gathering places would be a place to begin.

I'm sure there are a few already doing this, but it is far from enough. The Gospel of Christ is their need, just as it is the need of all people.

And the general Christian testimony of the churches in society needs to be enhanced and strengthened.

Now I speak to those fundamentalist churches which have pushed “soul-winning” and church bus ministries for the past forty years: . . .

The weakness in our testimony and the obvious failure of our Christianity to be a restraining influence (morally, ideologically) after forty years and millions of dollars spent on buses, balloon's, clowns, “Friend Days,” “Fill a Pew Days,” and all of the Sunday School contests, . . . .

. . . is the motive behind it all! Head counting and facility building for the glory of our ministries and bragging rights among the brethren has not gotten the job done, has it.

Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God is worthy to receive man's praise, adoration, and obedience to Truth. He is worthy to be believed upon by sinners. He deserves the fruits of His sufferings.

The motivation undergirding our labors matters before our Holy God. The “super church” and the bragging in denominational, associational, and fellowship periodicals over the values of our properties only makes God sick. And certainly there are enough “reverend doctors” in the churches to make some think that perhaps God is sick and needs a doctor.

The fundamentalists that give lip service to missionary endeavor (”We are a missionary church—missions is the mission of the church”) would rather increase the worldly property values of their church plants than use the resources for Bibles, literature, and supporting Gospel-preaching evangelists.

The world, its standards, and its methodologies have so inundated the churches, that there is no room for the Holy Spirit do do his work in the midst-—churches carry on building with a corporate board and entertainment mentality, and what numerical growth they have is said to be the Holy Spirit's work.

But step outside and look at just how little the churches claiming to be the Lord's churches have been a restraining influence against evil in the world around us.

In fact, the lack of spiritual revival, the lack of spiritual influence in the world has left a void; a void for Islam and false religious cults to fill.

“Not enough Christianity” said Angela Merkel. In the USA there is not enough genuine, spiritual Christianity.

Can you imagine Obama saying this? He, of course, won’t say this, but this is what he believes: “what we need is more Islam and less Christianity.”
