Mission America - December 2015 ed. 06 eNewsletter

The whole world waits this week for the advent of Jesus, for healing by the baby in the manger who became the Prince of Peace. Because our divisions remain wide, our differences dramatic.

And that’s true even among professed Christians, some of whom have foolishly donned the Muslim hijab as a stand against the “oppressed.”

As a chorus of voices decries “hate,” it’s time to search our hearts while we use our heads. If we are Christians, that begins with a review of what the Lord already taught us about disputes and division.

Our leftist political leaders and many in the media ponder, “Why do they hate us so much?” Hillary Clinton thinks it’s Donald Trump’s fault, that he’s “Isis’ best recruiter." Attorney general Loretta Lynch promised to prosecute those whose rhetoric was too anti-Muslim.

Lynch has not promised to protect those inundated by hateful rhetoric from “LGBT” sympathizers and radical feminists, a daily occurrence for us pro-family and pro-life advocates.

Perplexed about the growth of ISIS and jihad in general, many assent to American guilt and assume we are obligated to modify our behavior based on the enraged reaction of those who want to set off bombs, shoot up company Christmas parties and fly planes into buildings.

There is another possibility. Unjustified hate is common to the human race and we should expect it and prepare adequate emotional, political and spiritual defenses against it.

America may no longer be a predominantly Christian nation, but the words of Jesus should still convict many of us: "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” (John 15:18)

The WORD, Just for You - a Bible study unlike any other

A prison outreach and Bible study combined

Too often, we hear, "I know I should read the Bible more". Most reasons boil down to "I don't have time" and "It's too intimidating"! Not only have we found a GREAT Bible Study for your personal use, but also an easy way to reach out to our nation’s prison and shelter populations with the Word of God! Check out this brief video for an overview of this exciting new ministry:.

https://www.thewordjustforyou.org/

The WORD, Just For You is a new study guide that offers both a “sprint” and a “stroll” through the entire Bible—from Genesis through Revelation . Over time, you explore every book, chapter, and verse with brief, easy to follow lessons that can be completed in 15-30 minutes

This new study guide is offered on a paid, month to month basis. Each paid subscriber enables the publisher to get this same study guide (plus Bibles) into our prisons and shelters to help residents explore The WORD of God and discover a new path in life. This is a ministry that YOU can join by signing up to receive the guide yourself.

This non denominational Bible Study has been very well received so far in Ohio prisons and shelters. Every single book and chapter of the Bible is summarized and in reflected short, daily lessons. Readers are finding this very helpful.

Mission America is not giving in to cultural madness, because God's truth has not changed, so our faith should not, either. That's why our media ministry is growing. We live in very challenging times, but darkness provides more opportunities for light to shine even brighter.

Our impact remains strong through our published columns, media appearances, speeches, our website and our Monday-Saturday radio outreach.

Listen to Linda Harvey on Mission America Radio on Saturdays from 1:00 to 1:30 pm ET on AM 880 WRFD (www. wrfd.com), broadcasting from Columbus to most of Ohio. And our daily commentaries can be heard at 10:20 a.m. Monday - Friday also on WRFD.
