Over 40 Christian churches have been burned, damaged, or robbed in Egypt in the past few weeks. Christian businesses and business owners there have been targeted and maliciously persecuted by radical Islamists with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Yesterday’s Daily Mail (UK) headline reported, “Islamist mob parades nuns in Cairo as prisoners of war after six hours looting church school and replacing cross with banner resembling Al Qaeda flag.”
I am calling on you to be in prayer for our brothers and sisters Egypt, while also considering how close America could be to having similar events erupting in our own nation.
In Egypt, a civil war has erupted – yet another development born of the Arab Spring which was endorsed by the Obama administration. Not surprisingly, the Egyptian people now want the radical and oppressive Muslim Brotherhood removed from power.
President Obama declared last week that we cannot take sides in this conflict. Too late. He already has. He wrongly sided with the radical Muslim Brotherhood which moved quickly to impose Sharia on all Egyptians. The riots and upheaval in Egypt have roots in Obama’s confused, pro-Islam Middle East foreign policy.
This war has been fueled by in part by President Obama’s illogical foreign policy, which has included billions of dollars in aid to the Muslim Brotherhood, the mother of many terrorist organizations.
The Muslim Brotherhood is an anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic group of radical Islamists. They are enemies of Western civilization.
John Bolton, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. under the George W. Bush administration, called the current U.S. policy ‘completely incoherent.’”
Egypt is in chaos, in part due to political intervention by the Obama administration. In the past few days, hundreds of Egyptians have been killed, thousands more injured, and the violence has resulted in the burning of at least 40 Christian churches.
Where is the outcry from outraged American tax-payers?
And the question still remains, where was President Obama when Benghazi burned? There are now reports circulating that the Benghazi attacks were executed by Obama-backed Muslim Brotherhood factions who were being armed to overthrow the Syrian President, which then made off with 400 surface-to-air missiles.
So, hidden behind the Benghazi stonewall is the fact that America “lost” 400 powerful missiles, the kind that can bring down airliners or Israeli fighters! If true, it is no wonder why the Obama administration wants us to believe it is all a “phony scandal.”
President Obama has once again placed himself on the wrong side of history by siding with Islamic zealots who would love for the “great Satan,” America, to be weakened, overthrown, and converted to Islam.
This week, I am calling for pastors and patriots to look beyond our own shores to see the plight of our Christian brothers and sisters in Egypt and commit to pray for them. In doing so, I believe honest men and women will be asking for God’s forgiveness for the United States of America’s complicity in their suffering.
++Has America ceased to be good?
Here is a truly sobering thought: The horrendous events happening to Christians in the Middle East will soon be unfolding here if we don’t restore America’s greatness by calling for God’s immediate intervention!
Nineteenth Century French historian Alexis de Tocqueville was frequently quoted by President Ronald Reagan when discussing America’s greatness…
“I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors…; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution.
“Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
The questions beg to be asked: Has America ceased to be good? Has America lost its greatness?
I believe that our influence on the world stage has been greatly undermined by the Obama administration’s incoherent policies – and the American people’s apathy to the horrendous results.
++Real “change” must start in the church – and must start now!
The fact is, America’s greatness has always been rooted in the fundamental values taught from America’s pulpits. If pulpits are silent, the church is silent – and if the church is silent, our nation will come under God’s judgment.
To change America’s course, our churches must stand and be counted! In order for our churches to stand up, our pastors and church leaders must be empowered.
God has called us for such a time as this. We simply cannot be silent! That is why Liberty Counsel has developed a powerful DVD Action Pack composed of…
A DVD entitled “Silence is Not an Option” and The Patriot’s Handbook of Political Action for Pastors and Churches.
We have identified 45,057 churches that would benefit from this invaluable resource in nine key battleground states starting with Virginia and New Jersey – both of which have gubernatorial races this year – plus Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and more as God provides.
When we complete this campaign, we will have distributed these vital materials to a little over 156,000 churches nationwide. Even if you have already sponsored one or more churches, I pray you will be inspired to sponsor yet more!
Go here to learn more and order Action Packs for one or more pastors and their churches:
The voices of believers and the church must never be silenced – not now, not EVER, if our nation is to survive!
We want to unleash these pastors and church leaders to boldly speak the truth to this generation…allowing them and their congregations to engage in political processes and to confront the social tectonic shift in America.
We need your help to make this possible and it needs to happen right away!
Even in the midst of significant threats to our liberty, I believe we also have unprecedented opportunities to greatly advance the values of life, liberty, and family – here at home and around the world! We simply cannot remain silent at such a time as this.
Please consider how many churches you can help sponsor as we, together, seek the face of God on behalf of our nation. Please go here to learn more and review these resources…
Please remember to pray for our brothers and sisters worldwide who are suffering persecution. And, God bless you as, together, we empower pastors and patriots to bring forth a “New Birth of Liberty” – starting here – starting now!

P.S. “Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.” Christians need to rise up and protect our values!
Christian leaders MUST be able to provide information to their congregations or organizations to help ignite a new revolution of liberty in America!
