We must look at the truth about the ministry of Jesus and the apostles as our guide for surviving the End Times. They showed people their sin and called all people to turn from their evil and receive forgiveness. Most do not want to be shown their evil and they rejected their creator.
/ They faced opposition, hatred, and murderous threats
/ Jesus clearly states why he was so hated
/ We must learn to understand how our mission is not different from the King, and accept the same response
One of the biggest stories — and surprises — of the 2016 election was the success of the Democrat presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
An avowed and outspoken Socialist, Sanders was not even a Democrat before deciding to run for the party’s nomination. And though we now know that the Democrat party leadership conspired with candidate Hillary Clinton to deny him the nomination, it is still astonishing to realize how close he came to winning it.
His success with Democrat Party voters, especially the younger ones, seems to signal a shift in American values and beliefs — a shift from which it may be difficult, if not impossible, to recover.
Why do I say that?
One word: Socialism.
Garry Kasparov is a former chess world champion and perhaps the greatest chess grandmaster of all time. He is also Russian. He grew up under the oppression of the Soviet Union. He understands the practical effects of Socialism. Something Senator Sanders apparently does not.
In 2016, Kasparov wrote this on his Facebook page: “Socialism sounds great in speech soundbites and on Facebook, but please keep it there. In practice, it corrodes not only the economy but the human spirit itself, and the ambition and achievement that made modern capitalism possible and brought billions of people out of poverty. Talking about Socialism is a huge luxury, a luxury that was paid for by the successes of capitalism.”
In another article, Kasparov continued his debunking of the glories of Socialism, based on his personal experience. He wrote: “A society that relies too heavily on redistributing wealth eventually runs out of wealth to redistribute.” He then warned, “Once you give power to the government, it’s nearly impossible to get it back, and it will be used in ways you cannot expect.”
For these reasons, the word “Socialist” was anathema in American politics for decades. Even those who believed in Socialist principles adamantly denied it when confronted. All of that changed with the 2016 campaign of Bernie Sanders.
It was a little alarming to see how many college youth flocked to the Sanders campaign. That tells me that they do not understand the implications of Socialism and the impact it could have on their lives.
Of course, that’s understandable. The Open Syllabus Project did a huge study and determined that Karl Marx’s “Communist Manifesto” has been taught more than any other text on college campuses over the last decade.
Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and Vladimir Lenin’s “What is to be Done” were also very popular classroom texts.
The Bible? The foundational book of western society? It didn’t even make the list.
So if you were amused by what you saw in the run-up to the 2016 general election, or if you’ve been disgusted by the shocking upheaval in the Democrat Party during the 2018 elections, I have only one thing to say to you: FOCUS! Change is in the air in these United States. And it does not appear to be a good change. It is the kind of change that threatens our way of life and demands our intercession before God on behalf of our nation. And it demands our civic participation.
This week, I’m going to discuss Marxism, Socialism, and why these insidious philosophies threaten our great nation. This discussion is especially appropriate in view of the dramatic events in Venezuela this week.
I’m also going to tell you how America is rejecting our only Hope.
Please tune in for this important program and encourage your friends and family to watch, too.

A year later, the Civil Rights Act conferred citizenship and equal rights, guaranteed due process and equal protection under the law for all citizens.
From 1870 to 1895, many blacks, as members of the Republican Party, gained elective office throughout the nation, but outbreaks of violence against blacks especially in the South persisted.
By 1915, four million blacks had traveled north in what is called the Great Migration. They sought better jobs and wanted to escape escalated racism and violence occurring in the South. America’s northern cities overflowed with freed slaves and their extended families.
Former farmers and field workers became bell hops, butlers, maids, doormen, cooks, and nannies–they shined shoes and cleaned toilets. By 1920, African American writers, poets and artists emerged in a period of creativity known as the Harlem Renaissance. Black people worked hard–starting businesses, buying homes, securing better education and began to realize the American Dream came not only in white–but in beautiful shades of black as well.
Meanwhile, the KKK raged a lynching war on blacks in the south while Margaret Sanger and friends devised an evil plan of their own. Sanger was a staunch believer in eugenics, “race hygiene.” Her book, The Pivot of Civilization, {1922} contained her solution to the negro problem. She touted sterilization of “genetically inferior races” which she called “human weeds.”
Since blacks were known to be blessed with large families, Sanger’s plan had to include limiting the growth of the black population by eliminating our children.
Sanger associated with known racists who shared her belief that America would be a better place without black people. She emerged a speaker at a KKK rally in Silver Lake, New Jersey, in 1926.
In 1939, Sanger initiated the NEGRO PROJECT, a simple plan–get rid of black people through abortion and sterilization. She knew that some blacks would figure out her sinister plot, so she decided to “pay” clergy and charismatic members in the black community to deliver the deceptive message to their congregations and neighborhoods.
In a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, Sanger wrote: “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the negroes is through religious appeal. We don’t want word to go out that we want to exterminate the negro population. The minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
Sanger did her homework! She knew we were a culturally religious body of people and she knew that for blacks, at that time, the church was our meeting place –our town hall. The bottom line is that she used black people to destroy black communities in the same way Satan used Judas to deliver JESUS.
Today, black ministers, politicians, and community organizers are still “hired” to support Margaret Sanger’s form of ethnic cleansing. With full knowledge of how abortion is decimating the black community, they, like Judas, have sold their souls for “30 pieces of silver.”
Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America. It’s a billion dollar-a-year abortion business that thrives on blood money for slaughtering children, especially black children. Abortion mills continue to set up camp in minority neighborhoods delivering Margaret Sanger’s big lie message. The lie that says if you are a poor, black woman or girl you will have a better life — a more successful life with fewer children. The lie insinuates that killing an unborn baby is no big deal, especially a black baby which tends to be viewed as a burden on society and therefore less worthy of life.
Until Margaret Sanger’s death in 1966 she pushed the ideals she started decades earlier. It makes one wonder why almost nothing has changed in urban areas largely populated by poor blacks and other minorities. Our inner cities have poor schools, high crime, high unemployment and broken families yet, their elected officials stay focused on funding abortion on demand. Margaret Sanger’s Planned Parenthood still does big business slaughtering black babies in inner city abortion mills. For instance, in New York City, the abortion rate in the black community is at 60%, which means more black babies are aborted than are born.
The KKK brutally killed about 3,500 black people since it began in 1865, Sanger’s Planned Parenthood is responsible for 19 million black deaths since 1973.
The Bible tells us every child is a God-given gift, a reward and a heritage, therefore all are worthy of life. The truth is ALL lives matter!
We must remember why the killing began–and then vow in JESUS’ name to end it.

01/17/2019 Washington, D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on January 13, 2019, masses from the Griya Martubung Complex, Medan Labuhan Subdistrict in Indonesia’s North Sumatra held a protest against a house that was allegedly converted into a place of worship for Bethel Indonesia Church. In a video obtained by ICC, local residents surrounded Pastor Jans Fransman Saragih’s residence as Sunday service was about to commence. They pushed and shouted at church members, before demanding them to shut down.
A member of the church shared the video on Instagram and said, “We didn’t do things that were prohibited. Where is justice in this country? Where is our religious tolerance? God is with us.”
The head of the Medan Ministry of Religion Office, Al Ahyu, confirmed the incident and explained that the residents protested because the house did not have permission to operate as a place of worship, as stipulated by government regulations. Local residents had already filed a complaint last August, but Pastor Jans Fransman did not agree to stop worship at his house until November. He was supposed to halt services once the new year came, but he did not, leading to the January 13 protest.
However, at present, it is extremely difficult for non-Muslims to obtain the proper permits to build places of worship in the predominantly Muslim nation of Indonesia. Christian leaders have called for changes to legislation and complained about the obstacles facing churches that are attempting to obtain a permit.
Nitha Fenita, a Christian broadcaster at Cristy Radio, shared her thoughts with ICC, “This would be a big problem in a country known for its tolerance. I would describe it as a household with two religions and the members often have disputes about their beliefs. If there is no tolerance allowed, the relationship between the two parties would be inversely related [where one increases, another one decreases]. Perhaps the authorities can help manage the issues once or twice, but we have to be aware that this rift will be exploited by other [groups with political] interests which ultimately could divide the Indonesian people. Educating this family on tolerance is a very urgent matter and it needs to be taught now.”
Gina Goh, ICC’s Regional Manager, said, “As the Indonesian presidential election is only three months away, many radicals are seeking the opportunity to incite hatred and religious persecution against Christians during this campaign period. Jakarta must protect the rights of its citizens to freely worship, not only because it is enshrined in its constitution, but also to honor the country’s founding principles of Pancasila, which is to maintain a harmonious Indonesia based on religious tolerance, humanity, unity, democracy, and social justice.”
