PASTOR JOHN COLLINS: A WAR ON HUMANITY
The news has been full of the topic of gun control since the
shooting at the Parkland,
Florida high school. Today
the headlines were the death of Reverend
Billy Graham, an evangelist who spoke to over 200 million souls in
course of his 70 years on the pulpit.
The message of the violence compared to the message of hope and
salvation that Billy Graham taught are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Pastor John
Collins is an evangelist
and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries
who preaches hope and salvation, just like Billy Graham. Unlike most evangelists today, Pastor John Collins
is humble and outspoken when it comes to the truth
of the Word of
God. Pastor
John Collins touches on the untouchable, politically correct
topics from other pulpits-including gun control, terrorism,
school
shootings, and the loss of faith
of the American people. The faith and hope
that began this country is gone; there is no value of
human life. There is no
compassion or caring for our fellow man. There is no fear
of retribution, there is no fear of God
writes Pastor
John Collins.
How can we stop the violence
that we see around us? According to Pastor John Collins,
it is by finding our faith again. Pastor John Collins
continues to preach hope
and salvation which
will turn us toward faith,
and help us find our compassion for our fellow man. Pastor John Collins
puts it plainly: we need to get closer to the Cross
and Jesus Christ and find our way to bring God back into our lives. That is when we will see the violence begin
to stop.
“We should come to recognize that more needs to be done to prevent these tragedies and that will only happen when this world chooses to recognize the need for God every moment of everyday of every life.” ~ Pastor John Collins.
Pastor John Collins writes:
“Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; and you
yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the
wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.” Luke
12:35-36 (NKJV).
This world is at war. It is not only terrorism, school
shootings, murder and violence at every corner. It is a war on humanity at
every level. Faith is fading and with that is a loss of the value of a human
life. People are meant to be precious, not only to God but to each other. We
are meant to find compassion and a willingness to be kind to our fellow man
within ourselves. How is that possible if we, as a human race, do not hold the
word of God as truth? How can children learn to get on their knees and thank
God for their very lives if they don’t believe?
Communities want to talk about gun control and laws. I want
to talk about what makes it possible for so many to be willing to pick up a gun
and kill others. That is only possible if a person does not fear the
retribution of God Himself, if a person does not value what God values and if a
person does not have the faith that is required to not only bring about hope
for themselves but to bring about submission to the will of God. Without faith
and hope in God and the work of Jesus Christ, the worth of a human life is
lost. Faith in this country is frail and failing and parents are looking to
schools and laws to educate their children. Unfortunately, secularism is a
failure if faith is weak inside of a home. Children must be taught the priority
of rights and wrongs and that will not come from anywhere but the Bible.
The Bible is not some archaic book filled with stories but
is a guideline to our lives. Prayer is not something that you casually engage
in when you encounter illness or misfortune in your life but it is an open line
of communication with your Creator and with Jesus as your intercessor. We
should not have to continuously pray for those who suffer such tragedy but
should come to recognize that more needs to be done to prevent these tragedies
and that will only happen when this world chooses to recognize the need for God
every moment of everyday of every life. It needs to start within each home and
people should not wait for the miracles to show up at their door but should
begin to educate themselves and their families in preparation for the miracles
to come. This world has lost the fear of God and it is the fear of God that
will save souls.
“Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes,
will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have
them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.” Luke 12:37 (NKJV).
