The Left: Love Means Never Having to Say Anything is Wrong By Lloyd Marcus President Obama shows great respect for Muslims and their holy days and even lectures us to do the same. And yet, a few days after another slaughter of Christians which Obama refused to acknowledge, Obama cavalierly chose the Christian high holy day of Easter to take yet another one of his signature shots at Christians. Obama displays a hypersensitive respect for Islam while displaying little sensitivity or respect for Christians while claiming to be a Christian. The Bible says by their fruits ye shall know them. At the Easter Prayer Breakfast, Obama accused Christians of not acting in love. This Leftist trick (tactic) has worked on too many Christians for far too long. Candidly, I found myself in church rolling my eyes listening to a sermon in which the pastor chided his congregation. His rebuke is that the LGBT community does not like Christians because we are not loving enough to them. Most Christians I know are extremely tolerant and loving to homosexuals. I sat there thinking, “Brother, that's not what this is about. Obviously, you have not yet realized the Left's War on Christianity.” This “ain't” about homosexuals seeking acceptance. The Left's mission hidden in plain sight is to force their secular, liberal and anti-biblical agenda down our throats. Some say the Left has already won over a generation of our kids; hijacking their thinking starting in kindergarten with books like Heather Has Two Mommies. Whenever Christians catch wind of the Left's stealthily orchestrated war on Christians and push back, the Left employs their “you're-not-acting-in-love according to the teachings of Jesus” tactic. Insidious and repulsive. These people who despise Jesus dare to reference His teachings to manipulate Christians. The Left's narrative is love equals accepting someone just the way they are. My brother said, “Love does not mean we should co-sign sin.” If your child is a thief, love does not require you to support their illegal behavior. Quite the opposite. Whom the Lord loves, He chastens. As I stated, far too many Christians are manipulated by the Left's love guilt-trip tactic. In the name of love, duped Christians are ignoring God's Word to adopt an “anything goes” mindset. The Bible says hate the sin, but love the sinner. The Left are highly enraged by this biblical command to Christians. The Left demands that Christians enthusiastically rubber-stamp anti-biblical behavior or risk being made an example of; humiliated in the mainstream media, sued and forced out of business. Hello, the Catholic nuns of Little Sisters of the Poor, Hobby Lobby, Chick-fil-A, Sweet Cakes by Melissa, Arlene's Flowers and Gifts, Elane Photography, the Mozilla CEO, the Benham brothers, who lost their show on HGTV, and Memories Pizza, to name a few. The Left's message is alarmingly loud and clear. To all who do not embrace our mission to kill babies and paint the mark of the homosexual rainbow over the door of your business, we will figuratively bury you. Loyal to Obama, some black pastors now embrace same-sex marriage. I heard a black minister scold his congregation. He preached that Obama is correct in embracing same-sex marriage because he is president, not a Christian evangelist. A supposed man of God praising the president for siding against God's Word. A black Christian minister friend once strongly opposed same-sex marriage. Desperate to make Obama good and his Christian opposition wrong, my friend changed. His excuse is you cannot legislate behavior. He said his faith does not permit him to attend a homosexual wedding ceremony, but he would attend the homosexual wedding reception. I thought, “What do you say chatting with guests? Wasn't Harry a beautiful bride?“ Praise God! A coalition of over 3,700 black Christian ministers are pushing back against Obama and the Left's anti-biblical agenda. Folks, please listen to this compelling interview on the Joe Miller radio show with John Zmirak. John articulates what the Left has been scheming under the radar of most Christians. Note that John once supported same-sex marriage, but has come to realize that it is only the tip of the iceberg of the Left's scary anti-Christian agenda. Bottom line -- the Christian strategy of appeasing the Left is in essence allowing the fox to run rampant in the henhouse; corrupting the minds of our kids via public schools, Hollywood, and the media. In His love, it is time for Christians to stand up and be salt and light in our culture.

Christian Lives Matter: There were twenty-nine Christian college students gathered for worship that morning at Garissa University, Kenya. They were standing in a circle holding hands as they prayed when Al Shabab terrorists entered the back door of the building and immediately shot and killed the young woman leading the entire group. One by one, they proceeded to kill each one of them, laughing as they did so. The militants then continued on to the school’s dormitories where they separated students by religion, and began executing all of those who were not Muslims. In all, nearly 150 -- mainly Christian -- students were killed that day. The world is far more silent than it could be, and its silence is allowing more men, women and children to be threatened, kidnapped, trafficked, and massacred every week. This attack was not indiscriminate. Al Shabab, which brazenly live tweeted their siege of Nairobi’s Westgate Mall in 2013, is also in the habit of releasing press releases following their attacks, clearly articulating their motivation. In contrast to the general western perception of jihadists as impoverished and undereducated victims, Al Shabab’s releases are in nearly perfect English explaining why their attack was conducted and conducted, by the way, by a group of jihadists that included at least one law school graduate whose father is a Kenyan politician. Their press release read, “[our] attack targeted only non-Muslims, all Muslims were allowed to safely evacuate the premises before executing disbelievers…no amount of precaution or safety measures will be able to guarantee your safety, thwart another attack or prevent another bloodbath from occurring in your cities.” They came that day for a single purpose – to kill Christians. The Garissa University attack – which happened just over one week ago – was the latest in a series of escalating threats against Christians by jihadists who feel emboldened by western inaction to similar attacks on Christians in countries like Iraq. In the last few weeks, two churches were bombed in Pakistan, Egyptian Coptic Christians in the villages of al-Our and el-Galaa were attacked by jihadist mobs, and ISIS commemorated Easter by bombing yet another Syrian church. The tragedy is that rather than becoming increasingly outraged by these terrorist atrocities, we seem to be becoming desensitized to them. Take, for instance, the fact that only a few days before the Garissa attack in Kenya the Nigerian terrorist organization Boko Haram kidnapped nearly 500 women and children from a city in northeastern Nigeria. What’s most striking about this most recent attack is that nearly no one in the world knows it happened as opposed to a similar incident one year ago that sparked global outrage and a social media campaign where millions tweeted: #BringBackOurGirls. This time you could hear a cricket chirp. There are no trending hash tags and hardly any news; just a haunting silence, and the silence is most poignant in the halls of power in the United States and Europe. Pope Francis was right to call out the world for its “complicit silence” during his Easter homily. Because, as the archbishop of Washington, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, has noted “these atrocities happen because there are those who commit them and those who simply remain silent.” The world is far more silent than it could be, and its silence is allowing more men, women and children to be threatened, kidnapped, trafficked, and massacred every week. We must speak till we’re heard and put unrelenting pressure on global leaders till we cannot be ignored. These vulnerable communities need protection now because #ChristianLivesMatter. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/04/10/christian-lives-matter/
