First Commentary: While the bodies still lay on the ground at the school in Florida, both the left and the right tragically use these shootings to promote their political agendas. They do so at the expense of the families and communities that have been devastated by this senseless carnage.
Yes, there are Biblical roots that produce these tragic consequences. Our first instinct, however, is to provide a balm of Gilead to try and heal this severe wound amongst our people. Afterwards, we can use these tragedies to address the culture of death that has been fueled by the Covenant of Death our nation has committed to our harm.
 
Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. Though he boldly warned His nation of the idolatry they were committing and the severe consequences that accompany that rebellion, his heart broke for the plight of his people. We should do no less.
Second Commentary: People are wondering what can be done to stem the tide of violence at our public schools. Here are 2 considerations.
The first deals with the biblical root. One solution is to stop murdering the preborn children under the color of law. The Bible warns that bloodshed touches bloodshed. It will break out like a plague. God will not be mocked. What men and nations sow, they will surely reap. We have sowed bloodshed in the womb and we are reaping bloodshed in our polluted and defiled land.
 
Besides that, instead of promoting The Separation of Church and State heresy, Christians need to support a Separation of State from Schools movement. This not just an education issue, but a jurisdictional issue. God never ordained the state as the government responsible to train and educate children. That is reserved for family government. To violate this principle is to ignore the fruit of what is happening to this generation.
Statist schools guarantee statist citizens, who look to civil government as their god and daddy. It has served to destroy the faith of countless Christian young people and has helped move our nation from a free nation to a socialist one heading on a face track towards full blown Communism.
BTW, this was their plan. Look up the Humanist Manifest 1 and 2, plus the Communist manifesto. All their principles and agenda have been implemented. The public schools would be the new pulpit. The religion of humanism would replace “The rotting corpse of Christianity” as America’s new religion. The teachers would be the new priests to implement their subversive plan.
It has worked like a charm and most Christians still use their children as fodder to keep these humanistic mills running at the expense of their children’s future. We need to repent and quit sending our lambs to be educated by wolves. To think we will get godly young men and women that are educated by the Philistines is to be seriously laboring under a major spirit of delusion. Time for another great Exodus to take place. The sooner the better.

I did not see nor do I intend to see our episode on Viceland, but a dear brother, Pastor Derin Stidd, I partner with in ministry wrote this commentary. Duty is ours, the results belong to God. Pray for Jamali. We did directly minster the Gospel of the Kingdom to his lost soul.

So I’m watching Hate Thy Neighbor on Viceland. And they basically spend the entire show totally smearing Operation Rescue/Operation Save AmericaApologia StudiosJeff Durbin and Rusty Thomas, as well as a bunch of other brothers and sisters in Christ, through the whole show. I mean, they really go out of their way to make some friends of mine look crazy. Especially in the scene where they recorded the OSA worship service, they very clear cut that scene in such a way, so as to make the people who were there look like nut cases.

It’s harder for me to read whether or not that was happening with Durbin, and Apologia because I don’t actually know them in person, but it seemed to me like Jamali, the guy who basically runs the show, was put off by Jeff almost from the beginning. And it seemed like he was actually projecting his own thought processes related to things like studio quality, and personal fame, on to Jeff, through the entire show.

But then there’s this moment in the show where Jamali, after finishing his first interview with Rusty, he comes out of the interview and he says something like “Rusty is a different kind of guy. He genuinely believes what he is saying, and if he went to jail for the sake of Jesus then he would be perfectly okay with that.”

Here’s the thing. I’ve been doing this long enough to know that when a progressive/atheist walks away from the conversation with you and says “Hey, this guy might actually be the real deal.” God did something in that conversation. When you do this kind of ministry people love to project the worst things about themselves onto you. They love to assume upon your motives. They love to quickly find the smallest way in which you are coming up short, and then use that to delegitimize everything else that you are doing. So when they walk away with their interest in what you are doing genuinely peeked, that’s a God thing.

What was demonstrated in this show, regardless of how crazy they want to make us look, is that there are people in this ministry who genuinely want to do the work of God’s Kingdom, who genuinely care about these babies, and who genuinely care about these women. More importantly than that, what the world got to see is that this is the way that Christian men behave. When someone weaker is being harmed, when the voiceless are being oppressed, Christian men rise up, sacrifice of themselves, bear all of the reproach, and speak up to defend the weak. And finally, more importantly even than that, in this video the church see’s front and center that this is how the world responds when you do what God has called you to do.

Rusty Thomas is preaching at Aletheia Church this Sunday at 10:am. We welcome you to join us, not so that you can hear from Rusty, but rather so that you can hear the Word of God proclaimed.

“Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus” (Acts 17:7).

 

Preparing for our OSA Leadership Meeting

OSA had our annual Leadership Meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas this year. We have sowed there in times pass and it was time to water the vision and mission. We are still seeking to establish the first abortion-free state in the union.

Our message was clear. To fulfill the paradigm shift to abolish abortion now, there are certain principles and strategies that must not be compromised.

First, the doctrines of interposition and the lesser magistrate must be applied to both church and state.

The church must intervene and interpose on the streets, in the culture, and at their local death camp to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death. A long term strategy to adopt a bill of abolition holds no hope for the children scheduled to die today.

The church must also remonstrate and have a mission to their state magistrates. They must let their state politicians know that the standard has been raised and the church will no longer support the cabal between pro-life politicians and pro-life/pro-family groups. This cozy alliance that gets votes for pro-life politicians and raises funds for pro-life groups while babies are still brutally murdered in their mother’s wombs is over. It will no longer be tolerated.

No pro-life or pro-family politician gets any votes, support, or money from Christians until they completely abolish abortion and protect the God ordained institution of marriage at the state level. They must place the constitutional chain back up the federal beast and restrain the tyranny of the Supreme Court that has unleashed the lawlessness of abortion and sodomy upon our beleaguered nation.

The pro-life and pro-family hamster wheel bottled necked by the Supreme Court must come to a screeching halt and bust out of the old Roe paradigm. The church must get on the same page Biblically, historically, and constitutionally to end the American holocaust and do not settle for anything less in Jesus’ name!

Thursday Night Session

Thursday night was our opening session. The topic covered that evening was the doctrine of the church. The essence dealt with how we should relate to God’s church as Christians seeking to abolish all abortion now.

We must avoid being subject to tyranny. In other words, if the church forbids us to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and love our neighbor as ourselves, we must obey God rather than man. We must also guard against promoting anarchy in God’s church in the just cause to end the American holocaust. Our experience with the church, whether bitter or sweet, should not determine our theology, doctrine, or practice when it comes to God’s church.

We must love what God loves and hate what he hates. God loves His church and hates the hands that shed innocent blood. This is the divine tension we must walk in to be faithful to God in this battle to end the American holocaust.

Friday Morning

Faithful Sidewalk Counselor Carmen Vasquez Pleading for Life

We had 3 teams take the Gospel of the Kingdom to the highways and byways. One went to the death camp, the last remaining surgical abortion mill in the state of Arkansas. A local sidewalk counselor contacted us after this team was done storming the gates of hell. She reported, “Thank you Operation Rescue/Operation Save America for going to Little Rock Family Planning! I wanted to tell you how y’all being there made a difference. There were 3 maybe 4 girls who changed their minds and decided not have the abortion. One went to the resource center; the other two came and said they couldn’t do it!”

On the salvation front, a post abortive woman came to the saving grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Ken Scott was holding a graphic picture of abortion. This woman saw it, stopped, freaked out, and made a bee line towards Ken. She was furious. She proceeded to berate Ken. Ken patiently took the abuse and then had the opportunity to share how he was once involved with an abortion. It ruined his life, which led him to the redemption of his soul through the merits of Jesus Christ.

The woman softened, started to cry, and confessed that she had 5 abortions. Ken loving presented the Gospel of God’s pardon, if she would just repent, acknowledge the truth, and place her trust in the Lord. She mercifully surrendered to His Lordship. She came at ken a ferocious lioness and left a weeping lamb of God.

We had a separate team of leaders meet with about 35 pastors, Christian leaders, and heads of faith based political action groups. Jason Storms and I tagged team to introduce them to the paradigm shift that will get the church and pro-life movement off the hamster wheel that is bottle necked by the Supreme Court. We challenged them with the doctrines of Interposition and the Lesser Magistrate. They listened intently and the Lord granted favor. After the meeting, Lucas Childress our local leader received this text from a pastor with great influence. He pastors a church of about 5000. He stated, “I’m so excited that there is actually a path forward. I’m tired of the hamster wheel. Let it be soon Lord and let us act with courage, boldness and great faith!!!”

Lucas will follow up with this pastor to mobilize the church in Arkansas that will demand of their civil magistrates that they get no vote, money, or support for their campaigns unless they agree to completely abolish abortion in Arkansas.

Friday Afternoon Session

The men and women broke up in separate groups. My lovely bride, Kendra, loved on the ladies and spent time encouraging them. The wives and mothers of OSA are the glue that holds their families and this ministry together. We wanted to honor them for their many sacrifices.

At the men’s meeting, we had frank conversations about personal issues that need to be dealt with as men, husbands, and fathers. It was an intense time of challenge that knitted our hearts closer together in the battle and brought more accountability to each and every one of us.

Friday Night Session

Setting in Jason Storms as new Assistant Director of OSA

This was a special session that sets the course for the future of OSA. That night, Assistant Director, Chet Gallagher, in an amazing act of humility willingly stepped down as the Assistant Director of OSA to make room for the next generation of leaders to rise up and take their place in the battle.

As a result, the men of OSA had the honor to set in Jason Storms as the new OSA Assistant Director. We truly believe that Jason is the brother that will help lead OSA to the next level of effectiveness to end the American holocaust one state at a time. We hope you will reach out to welcome and encourage him as he takes on this responsibility.

Saturday Morning

All the saints and leaders went to the death camp. Another team met with a candidate who is running for a senate judicial seat in Arkansas. We flew in attorney Bradley Pierce from Texas who helps us write clean bills of abolition for the states we seek to make abortion-free. He is really good at taking the specific state statutes that are already on the books in each state that treat abortion as homicide and then adds the legal elements of abolition to strengthen the language.

We presented our specific bill of abolition to this candidate and he promised, if elected he would sponsor the bill. As soon as I got home, however, Lucas Childress, contacted me with some more good news. A legislator that Pastor Matt Trewhella, Jason Storms, and I met with a couple of months prior has looked at our bill and he has agreed to sponsor it now. Hallelujah!

Saturday Afternoon Session

The title of the message was “We all need a little R and R.” There is no rest for the weary, however. The R and R was the necessity of Reformation and Revival to fulfill our vision and mission as OSA.

Saturday Night Session

Two pastors from the state on Indiana, Pastors Kip Farrar and Derin Stidd gave OSA a report of the good fruit that came from our regional event last fall. It was encouraging. They both preached tremendous messages. At the end, two more pastors from Indiana, Joseph Spurgeon and Mark Cox, who were our local leaders last year in Kentucky, came to the podium to invite OSA back to Indiana for our national event. We all agreed to come. The dates are July 14-21st.

Keep this all in prayer and make plans to join us. The theme for Indiana is “LEAD JUSTICE TO VICTORY!” There will be more details to follow. Hope to see you there.

 

 

Almost done with 2 more booklets. They should be ready to go out soon in a week or 2. If interested in copies, contact us with your address and when they are ready, we will ship them to you.

For your edification we are posting this sermon that Rusty preached at Gospel Mission Church is Des Arc, AR this past Sunday. If you find any merit please pass it on in your sphere of influence.

Guest Speaker Rev Rusty Thomas with Operation Save AmericaAll right to music belong to the Artists. CCLI LIENSE #1503177

Posted by Gospel Mission Church on Sunday, February 4, 2018

Satan is the ultimate incrementalist. We see it in the “frog in the water” scenario. You do not thrust a frog in a boiling pan of water. You put a frog in a pan of lukewarm water and then slowly heat it up incrementally. The works of Satan’s lies and murder are accomplished in this deceitful manner.

Christians should not adopt this as a Kingdom strategy, especially, to end the American holocaust. Christians should be principlelists (I just made up a word). In other words, Christians should lead by and standing upon God’s truth and Kingdom principles.

Take the narrative between Moses and his diplomacy efforts with the tyrant Pharaoh. He did not want a seat at the table. He kicked the tyrannical table over by standing upon the commandment of God. He never negotiated a deal incrementally. He finally told Pharaoh, “Not one hoof.” The rest, they say, is history.

Now here is the deal as Moses stood upon God’s self-evident truth that Egypt could not refute nor resist, God Himself, incrementally brought His people in to possess the Promise Land, battle by battle.

In God’s Kingdom, the ends do not justify the means. God is just as concerned about the ends that we achieve as He is about the means we use to achieve them.

In the case of abolishing abortion, these truths are paramount. How can we expect God to bless our “pro-life” efforts, when we publicly deny His Lordship, dilute His truth, and ignore His Holy Commandments to end the American holocaust?

The righteous endeavor to end abortion now cannot use politically expedient means that seek to pragmatically produce certain results. Outcome is not our realm. Outcome is the realm of God. What God expects of His people is to stand four square on His truth and let the chips fall where they may.

He has not given any pastor, politician, or well meaning citizen the moral authority to cut deals when it comes to the precious life of His little image bearers. We do not get to decide who lives and who dies. We must let our modern day Pharaohs know that they too do not get “one hoof.”

it is high time we leave behind the “wandering in the wilderness” 45 year failed experiment called the “Pro-life movement” and come join the paradigm shift (Inherit the Promise Land by eradicating the blood guiltiness of America) by rejecting pro-life regulationism and adopt the complete abolishment of abortion movement.

God does not just want us to plead the case of the fatherless. He wants us to plead the case of the fatherless to WIN IT!

If you find any merit, please pass this on in Jesus’ name!
