Shock vs Silence....

Virginia Tech terrorist attack should AWAKEN some hard heads THAT TERRORIST are real.

The last two years all we have heard in the MEDIA ya ya ....is that 'terrorist' and terrorism is a 'dreamed up Republican ploys to 'fool the people'.

WELL, WHAT ELSE DOES IT TAKE? Another twin towers...and Pentagon attack?

Now is the time for all good PEOPLE to stop being "Mr/Mrs Nice guy" and letting MOUTHY MEDIA, Hollywood cat-rats use every area of the MEDIA to curse America! Oprah, I love you for your good and heart...but your attacks and suttle media influences to SAY or IMPLY negatives...about the war...the terrorist...our President...and leaders----YA need to wake up DEAR GIRL!

Will the media now... still say 'it's all a big lie?"

A few weeks ago, I read the neatest thing that I told some friends about and that I was going to put it on the blog....about when....'we sit in silence...not realizing that sometimes...our silence can also become our sin...when it is OUR RESPONSIBILITY. This is the case today....sad to say...because of the horrible attack on Virginia Tech... the innocent....the horrors...the evil of a well PLANNED OUT TERROR ATTACK! We as the common people have sat silent far too long. Have you heard the news today that a humpteen other 'terrorist threats' have been made all across this nation since .....with every kind of 'copycat' weirdo TRYING to 'get attention', make a name for themselves...whatever????? campus, after campus..yikes!

The article that I spoke of pointed out that a few years ago...DR. CHARLES MALIK, a Christian but also the LEBANESE statesman, educator, diplomat and FORMER SECRETARY OF THE UNITED NATIONS...made the statement publicly, (concerning terrorist)...."If we are going to change the world...we have got to 'change men's hearts. And ONLY JESUS CHRIST can change men's hearts!"

Whoa..how wonderful to know that ANYONE out of the United Nations actually SAID this...is so powerful.

Our wonderful world is crumbling at it's foundation...especially our awesome America... our beloved NATION that was FOUNDED by our forefathers with all foundations on the principals of GOD, JESUS CHRIST, THE BIBLE... to a sad state of being today, where we can See our little kids idolize Nazi images, Godless rock stars, musicians, games, dress and language.

Monkey see...monkey do. No fear...here. Just Do it.

Dr. Malik went on to speak about Believers speaking out/up for values...family values, morals. And Jesus CAN ... as he uses us as His vessels to others.

An example given was about the RUSSIAN LEADER, NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV. As many of you remember when our greatest enemy was Russia, who proclaimed to 'wipe America off the map' with bombs....when they began their campaign world wide motto, "Better RED (Russian) than Dead!" as threats of scare tactics. Then in one of his moments of trying to 'get other world powers to 'look to him'...Nikita (the self-proclaim 'lover boy'...fat and pudgy-yuk)...came lumbering over to the UNITED STATES with every media in the world to SEE his gesture of friendship...ha ....he came to NYC...Washington DC...and wanted to visit our military installations and share warfare information.) yeah, right!!!

At the time...NEITHER... the man/nor his country was our friend. Period. BUUUT... DURING that visit to the United States...the following true story occurred and is well worth the LESSON for all of us today. Esp. with the Virginia Tech horror!

While Mr. Nikita...the Chicqueta....was at a huge CONFERENCE at our Capitol in Washington D.C. ... a newspaper journalists of the Washington Press ...got the freedom to 'ask Mr. Khrushchev the FIRST question for the press releases. (handled through an interpreter of coarse).

"Sir.....today you talked all about the HIDEOUS rule of YOUR PREDECESSOR, ....STALIN. You were 'one of his CLOSEST Aides and Colleagues...during those years. WHAT WERE YOU DOING during all that time?"

(the journalist was imply referring to the fact that....at the height of the Russian Power that they EXTERMINATED OVER 40,000 People PER MONTH !!!

Silently....Khrushchev's face turned blood red. Then he ROARED OUT, "Who asked that question?

All of the 500 or so...reporters/journalist dropped their heads, faces turned down...in fear.
Silence....very dead silence covered the room,

Again, Khrushchev yelled out "Who asked that question?" "Who said that?"

Still no response.....only silence from the gigantic room.

The SILENCE BECAME LONG... suffocating... but still not one voice came to answer the booming voiced Russian ........just total silence.

FINALLY.... Nikita Khrushchev who was well known for his brutal character and big boldsterous voice..... slowly stepped back from the microphones....then slowly stepped back UP to the microphones....and very quietly and very, very slowly said...."THAT'S exactly what I WAS DOING!"

Silence. Silence during a Holocaust of Horrors to millions upon millions of innocent men, women and little children, by burning, gasing, raping and burying alive...he too was silent.
----------------------------
Maybe we are all somewhat guilty of 'the sin of silence'....this may be our greatest of sins...not helping bring others to 'know Jesus Christ'?

Jesus...and our prayers ...and our standing up...speaking out as believers, sharing HIS salvation plan with every opportunity....to be brave when we feel like running and being SILENT.

Like the awesome foreign Professor at Virginia Tech...who STOOD yelling at the students to run and jump out the windows...yet he was shot and killed by a blood crazed terrorist. But this awesome Professor spoke. He was not silent, frozen in fear.
God Bless them all...but especially hero's.

Lord, help me/us follow such a great man's example. Forgive me/us for when we have sat in silence or fear of standing/speaking.

As we all pray for this horrible situation...now and all the days ahead...let's also pray for our nation of BELIEVERS to find ways, means, and methods of SPEAKING out....speaking up and openly about our Godly values/beliefs...Jesus' Grace....pray for OURSELVES. I have no desire to offend others...but when WRONG rules....it's time to follow the example of Jesus the week of Passover and 'clean the junk out of the synagogues...our lives...to stand up, speak and not be silent about HIS KINGDOM COME! Rev 22 "Come Lord Jesus, come"
