Courageous Rhema Graduate Speaks Out

Courageous Rhema Graduate Speaks Out

Linda Caterine emailed Operation Save America to say she had read our website articles about Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Rhema Ministerial Assoc. International revoking Pastor Mark Holick's ordination because he goes regularly to pray and counsel at the Wichita, KS abortion mill of infamous Dr. George Tiller. Ms. Caterine wanted to know if the ministry had changed its position. She said she graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center (RBTC) and wanted to send her diploma back if they still held to this position. We responded that, unfortunately, nothing has changed at Rhema, and gave her contact information for Pastor Holick. After communicating with him, she wrote Rhema the following letter:

Kenneth Hagin Ministries
P.O. 50126
Tulsa. Oklahoma

Attention Kenneth Hagin Sr., Kenneth Hagin Jr., and all staff and faculty of Kenneth Hagin Ministries and RBTC

I was honored to be accepted to RBTC. I loved the school and had great respect for your ministry. Then I recently came across some information on the Internet that horrified me. Enclosed are copies of some of this information.

Abortion is one of the most important moral issues of our time. We have killed 40 million babies since Roe V Wade, more than all of our wars combined. If that isn’t a holocaust, then I don’t know what you would call it. We have legalized child sacrifice in this country, a sin so horrible that God judged every nation that practiced it. What does God say about those who do not protect the weak and helpless among us? And who will speak for the unborn if it isn’t the people of God?

You say you are pro-life, yet you show yourself otherwise. Not only do you turn your eyes away from this abomination, but you demand that all of your people do the same. And why do you do this? To avoid lawsuits? You have lost your moral clarity when lawsuits are more important than human beings made in God’s image.

We are in a culture war that is just going to get more intense, and the reason we are in this war is because Christians have been sitting on the sidelines getting rich and fat. You shrink from lawsuits, but what will you do when gays and lesbians sue for the right to attend your school? And make no mistake about it…that time is coming. If you would back down from fighting for the unborn because you fear a lawsuit, then you are not prepared for the future. You are training your students to enjoy the good life and they will not be able to stand strong when the wars heat up.

I don’t know Flip Benham, but we need more Jeremiahs like him if we ever expect to have the resolve to even fight the battles to come. And they are coming. Yes, you are pro-life if it costs you nothing. A strong Christian is willing to lose everything to stand up for what is right, and you would decree that no one could demonstrate at abortion clinics because you fear a lawsuit. What an example of "Strong Faith" you are!

I am returning my diploma. Please take my name off your records. I am ashamed to be associated with such a cowardly ministry.

I was head of prison ministry for Carlton Pearson years ago, and I understand that he has had a “revelation” that God is now a benevolent benefactor instead of a righteous judge. Thank God I live in Sin City and not the Bible Belt. There seems to be more moral confusion there than anywhere else.

Shame on all of you. You bring a reproach to the cause of Christ. You have become people pleasers, afraid to offend the world when it most desperately needs to be offended. Money and possessions have blinded you to the truth. I am not a “Prophet”. I am just an honest Christian, but I believe your actions will bring God’s judgment upon you and your ministry. You may continue to preach peace and prosperity but you will never have a moment’s peace, knowing that you have forbidden your people to speak out publicly against the slaughter of 1.5 million souls each year. I hope you can live comfortably with that knowledge.

May God have mercy on your soul.
