Should Christians Observe Halloween??

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

I personally don’t believe we should. I know I am in the minority. But the very theme of Halloween is dark, scary and has nothing to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many churches say it is a time to “reach out to the community,” but aren’t we actually walking a fine line between good and evil. The original message of Halloween is evil and is filled with dismembered spirits and curses and offerings to idols. Should we promote or participate in this type of holiday? I do not judge, but as for me and my house, I have enough to battle without indulging in a possible connection to evil. Come out from among them my people, saith the Lord. Rh

Slumbering Pastors

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

This past weekend we had an event for all the Pastors in our country. We called it “Answer The Call.” The idea was to call the Pastors to awaken and get involved in the moral issues of the day and to speak out and stand against the blatant immorality that is permeating our society today. You know just do what Pastors are called to do. Be light and salt.” Light illuminates the darkness to expose and bring clarity. Salt is a preservative. When salt is applied to a wound or a cut, it hurts. Pastors need to speak truth. If our Pastors and churches aren’t involved in the fight, our nation will die. Immorality will reign and evil will destroy us. This is not optional, any Pastor who hides his head in the sand is not worthy to be called a man of God. Hiding behind your business and “church duties” is not acceptable. Speak up, stand up, and call out immortality and evil. That’s your job.

We invited over 80 Pastors to our brunch last Saturday, and only 14 pastors even bothered to show up. Our total of leaders and Pastors was a meager 41. Unfortunate, but true to form. I have tried for five years to sound the alarm as a watchmen on the wall, but to no avail. My heart is heavy! Well is it spoken of these AWOL Pastors who are woke and asleep. Isaiah well prophesied of them in Chapter 56:10 “His watchmen are blind, (can’t see), they are all ignorant (no knowledge), they are dumb dogs, they cannot bark (no voice), sleeping lying down loving to slumber (dreamers yet no Godly vision). Todays Pastors and parishioners would rather be prophesied to about great mysteries than to apply the word to our present evil. They scream tell us good things, we want our best life now!! We don’t want correction, we want prosperity. It’s a sad day for the church sitting in comfortable pews eating and drinking of God’s good pleasure without concern for the evil that permeates our culture.

It’s a culture war and the Pastors are mostly AWOL. God forgive us.

This may seem harsh, but it needs to be said. We are losing a war that should be won. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. However if the kingdom of darkness is not challenged, it will grow stronger day by day. I refuse to quit. The solution is to pray for your Pastor, speak to him and let him know the church needs to hear about what is happening in the world. If that doesn’t work, maybe a new church is the answer. Rh

Moral or Political

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

My thesis is simple, every issue facing this nation is a moral one not a political one. But, one would say what about the conflict going on now with Russia and Ukraine? Even that is moral. Political expediency has allowed this conflict to get to this stage. If America were a moral nation, then Biden would never have been elected with fraudulent votes. There is proof positive that 2020 was stolen, there is way too much evidence to discount this view.

Who speaks on moral issues, the Pastors and ultimately the church does. Where was and is the Church of today? Are they doing the due diligence required to have a voice, to call out, or make plain a vision to restore Biblical values in our country? Mostly a resounding no. We need watchmen on the wall to stand and declare morality in our nation. Speaking out against evil and greed and immorality. LGBTQ and other gender issues including CRT are issues of the day for the Church to speak on not sissified political compromisers that are devoid of moral and common sense.

Unfortunately the Church is ignorant of what they can and can not do under the law and because of that fear runs rampant among the Clergy. So they sit in silence and lift their hands to Jesus in worship, all the while His desire for them is to over turn the money changers table. Where is the Black Robe Regiment of Revolutionary days?

Apparently drinking soy milk and preparing feel good sermons, not a Word from God!

1 Out Of Every 5 Churches In America May Not Survive

Whenever a major economic downturn happens, churches and charities always get hit really hard.  Cutting back on giving is often the very first step that people take when it comes time to reduce expenditures, and that is extremely unfortunate.  
But of course you can’t get blood out of a rock, and there are tens of millions of Americans that have lost jobs in 2020 and so they don’t have any extra money to give at this point.  
Approximately 59 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment over the past 24 weeks, and we are seeing absolutely massive lines at food banks all around the nation.  
In such an environment, it was inevitable that there would be a collapse in charitable giving, and it is being reported that major U.S. charities have already “lost billions in revenue”…
Charity organizations have lost billions in revenue during the pandemic, making the sector one of many to seek support from Congress at a time when negotiations over another COVID-19 relief package show little sign of a breakthrough.

We have never seen anything like this before, and things have already gotten so bad that Barna Group president David Kinnaman is projecting that 1 out of every 5 churches in America “could be forced to shut their doors in the next 18 months”…
The president of the Barna Group says it’s possible as many as 1 in 5 churches may not survive the shutdowns and changes brought on by the COVID virus and could be forced to shut their doors in the next 18 months.
In an interview on NPR’s program “Here And Now” earlier this week, Barna Group president David Kinnaman said their surveys show confidence among pastors that their churches will make it through the pandemic has declined from more than 70 percent in May to around 58 percent now.

Chicago Threatens To Bulldoze Churches If COVID Mandates Not ObeyedGeorgette 50 STATES POLITICS. Conservative Daily Post

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

In Chicago, two churches have been threatened by city officials with complete destruction if they fail to obey the arbitrary edits issued by the city concerning COVID restrictions. They said the buildings would be demolished.

Although statistics prove that the virus is no more deadly than the flu, and that fatalities have dropped in massive numbers, somehow, the war against Christian Americans, small businesses and freedom is ramping up.

The lawyer for two Chicago churches has reported that city officials informed his clients that they would consider bulldozing their facilities if they do not comply with COVID-19 edicts.

Matt Staver, the founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, said on Wednesday that the city is classifying his clients as “public nuisances.” He said they were issued a letter declaring that the city “has the power and duty to cause all nuisances affecting the health of the public to be abated.” The letter threatened a “summary abatement,” which would mean the destruction of the facilities without due process.

Staver said during an appearance on the “Todd Starnes Radio Show” that he is seeking an emergency injunction and hopes to take the case to the Supreme Court. The motion for the injunction is headed to the desk of SCOTUS Justice Brett Kavanaugh right now.

Jerry Falwell Jr.: ‘No Question’ Evangelical Christian Support for Trump Is Up from 2016

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Evangelical Christian support for President Donald Trump will be greater in 2020’s presidential election than in 2016, predicted Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, sharing his comments on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with host Matt Boyle.

Ninety percent of Evangelical Christians support Trump’s reelection, according to a recent Democracy Institute/Sunday Express poll. Boyle invited Falwell’s remarks on the poll’s findings.

Falwell replied, “There’s no question about it. The Evangelical support [for Trump] has strengthened. I have board members who travel. I have one board member who lost his legs in Vietnam. He travels from military base to military base, from church to church. He says everywhere he goes [he meets] people who were hesitant to vote for Trump in 2016, [but] Evangelicals are 100 percent behind him, now.”

Falwell continued, “I have pastors on my board to tell me the same thing. They can see the support. They can feel it.”

Falwell shared, “Every Evangelical I’ve run into at every major event has [told me], ‘We were hesitant. We thought you were a little nuts for supporting [Trump] in 2016, but we are 100 percent behind him, now.’ It doesn’t surprise me a bit. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was higher than 90 percent.”

Falwell highlighted the importance of Supreme Court nominations to Evangelical Christians. The Supreme Court is “one place the president can make a difference on social issues,” he said.
