In Europe, Gypsies are considered dirty, uneducated, loners, and thieves. Hitler sought to kill each and every one of them. My question, “Would it make any difference if one more Gypsy had died?”
Years ago there was a man whose name was Gypsy Smith. He heard the gospel of Jesus Christ from the preacher, Y.L. Moody. Gypsy Smith was converted, and went on to preach the gospel of Christ to the wealthy; he had but one message, “How can God love a Gypsy like me.”
The S.P.C.A. had posted a flyer years ago showing the snapshot of a dog. He was leaning against a wall; thin, hungry; lonely; and appeared to be near death. The question this photo presented was, “Does it matter if this one dog dies?
When you see a poster of a child; one dressed in filthy cloths; despair in his eyes, looking into empty space; a place where no family or friends can be found; shivering from the cold, hungry, and no-one comes to help. Question; “Will it matter if this one child dies?”
We have all heard the slogan, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” The world is full of un-educated men, women, and children. If everyone of them could learn, and understand one thing, that being, “Jesus Christ came to seek and to save the lost;” this world would be much wiser, and a far more worthy place to live.
Education, Yes! but the question remains, “What good is any education without the knowledge of our Lord?” There are organizations that help feed hungry children, yet many of these same organizations care little if these same children lost their souls.
Years ago, America had developed tests to show if the H.I.V. virus was present in the blood. Other countries were working on the same problem, all having little, to no success.
Without regard for human life, both France and Japan used their own untested and unproven methods for testing the aids virus. They outwardly rejected the successful testing done in America. In their so-called national pride, the pride of fools, they gave tainted blood to many Hemophiliacs.
The results, many contracted the Aids virus and died, but not without spreading it to others first; these also died. Many lives were lost because of their “Selfish pride?”
National pride in many parts of the world comes before any moral considerations. Laws appear to be weak for the average citizen, and justice is applied only for the wealthy. The poor are hidden away in the back streets of their filthy cities, as is the reporting of the heavy loss of life from the poverty, and disease that has overwhelmed the people. All this goes unreported because of the corrupt politics of that country.
Our President Obama, his Congress and courts are far more interested in implementing health care laws, bail-outs, and so called personal rights; completely overlooking the immoral behavior that is now over-running our culture. And for sure, these same leaders having little or no regard for any person’s soul.
America’s culture has come a long way in the past 50 years; or should I say, it having slid to a new low in licentiousness, and corruption. Congress has, and continues to write laws that have removed any and all teaching; all respect and reverence for God, erasing from our education books, the Christian teachings of our founding fathers, and the settlers of early America. God’s name is being legislated away, as never before.
The name of Jesus Christ has become a cuss word; heard in every bar, back-room, and alley in America; and let me not stop here. From Hollywood, their movies, their entertainment, their T.V., their Internet, in the news rooms, in our schools; Jesus Christ Holy name is being defiled, and mocked as never before.
Years ago, tribal wars broke out in Nigeria. The people were starving. Scientists had proven beyond a doubt that the Casaba plant could sustain a man’s body, and health. Yet because of ignorance in the land, the people of Nigeria refused to eat it; and thousands died of starvation. They trusted not in God, for they knew Him not.
If today, we were to go to the area of the 7 churches of Revelation in Turkey, our first question would be, “Where are all the Christians?” Today, 99% of the people in Turkey are Muslim.
Between 1920 at the end of World War 1, there were one and a half million Armenian Christian’s that lived, worked, and worshipped there. The Muslim’s killed them all. This is one of the least reported massacres in modern history. To this very day, Turkey denies it. If they are not lying, then what happened to the million and a half Christians that once inhabited that area?
So does it matter if one person dies? What a crime it is against man, and God Himself, if one person dies not having the knowledge of God’s love written in their heart, and the name of Jesus Christ on their lips. What a terrible thing to waste, when the forgiveness of sins is there for all men to receive.
How long will we turn His glory into shame? How long will we love vanity, and seek after evil? Tremble in awe, sin not before our Lord and Savior.
