MODERN PASTOR, WHY DO YOU LET DECEIVED CHRISTIANS SILENCE YOU?
Reprint from Mario Murillo Blog – By Mario Murillo.
Modern Pastor, why do you let deceived Christians silence you? Pastor, you need to tell your people—from the pulpit—to vote for Trump. If that horrifies you, I’ll bet it is because of deceived Christians.
A choice between good and evil.
Elections used to be a choice between liberals and conservatives. This election is a choice between good and evil. And who is evil?
Democrats embody everything that is anti-God, anti-Christian, and anti-family. Democrats have sold themselves to do evil. That is clear.
How clear? So clear that I can categorically say that any Christian who votes for Kamala Harris is deceived. Many would call them a false Christian.
It is the natural extension of your calling.
To take a stand against this evil does not make you political. Not anymore. It is the natural extension of your calling.
Democrats fight against everything we stand for. We did not pick this fight. They did.
They brought the fight to us. We did not wander into their yard. They jumped the fence into our yard.
For pastors to be silent now is beyond shocking. The very people who should be leading the charge against evil are missing in action. Out of 500,000 Protestant ministers in America, only a tiny percentage are speaking out.
Paul declared the first duty of a shepherd in Acts 20:28, “Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”
What if the shepherd ignores the threat?
Preaching should take the sheep to safety. How can it do that if the shepherd ignores the threat?
Then Paul ordered the elders to be on the lookout for two villains: Savage wolves and perverse Christians.
Savage wolves
Acts 20:29, “For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.”
There is no question who the savage wolves are today. Democrats are responsible for the invasion of murderers and rapists into our nation and they don’t just want to save abortion, they want to celebrate it. It is their religion. Child sacrifice will be a national sacrament. They want to erase Christianity and Israel.
Then Paul warned us about the greater threat—the one inside the church: perverse Christians!
Perverse Christians.
Acts 20:30-31, “Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after themselves. Therefore watch and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.”
How can perverse Christians be worse than wolves? Because they silence pastors. Ministers stand before the largest voting bloc in America. If they were speaking about Harris from a Biblical perspective, this election would not even be close.
It is the most deafening silence in American history. We face the most obvious choice between good and evil. The nation stands on the brink of disaster. Pastors are the most effective weapon against that disaster.
God will replace anyone you lose.
Questions flood your heart. Will I lose members? Yes, you will. But because you are speaking truth, God will more than replace anyone you lose.
Will it ruin my reputation? Only at first. After the initial wave of criticism you will emerge with a reputation for telling the truth.
How can I tell my congregation? Search social media. You will hear the powerful words that pastors are using right now to effectively inform and lead their congregation in this matter. You will be stunned by your people’s awareness of these things.
Will I be violating the Johnson Amendment by speaking out? Will I lose my non-profit status? The Johnson Amendment is dead. Bishop John Drew Sheard who leads the Church of God in Christ endorsed Kamala Harris and the IRS continues to ignore it.
How would the government dare to come after you if they did not come after them?
Don’t let deceived Christians destroy America! Understand where they came from.
Believers “saying perverse things” began for us when the church adopted discipleship by osmosis. Instead of instilling Biblical literacy, we thought we could just, “let God speak to them.”
This created a “wide onramp” for membership growth. It also created members who cannot tell right from wrong. Worst of all, they are ignorant of what their duty to the Lord is as a Christian.
Paul took the opposite approach to discipleship. He warned Timothy to hold the line when sound doctrine became more than audiences could bear.
We do have our fables!
2Timothy 4: 2-4, “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables.” And we do have our fables!
It is a fable to think God wants His own children to vote for Harris. It is a fable to think God condones a mother killing her own child, even after they are born. In this, no one can be neutral.
But the biggest fable is to believe that we can be silent and there will be no consequence.
God is watching. Imagine what He will think of us. Especially when it was within our power to stop so great an evil by so simple an act.
Tell your people to vote for Trump.
